ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
MY 2002 CHEV TRUCK KNOCKS WHEN I START THE ENGINE. (6.0) MOST CHEV TRUCKS DO THIS. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THEM AROUND WHEN I TRY AND SELL THE TRUCK. THE NOISE CAME AFTER THE TRUCK WAS ONLY 4 MONTHS OLD. IT HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. MY RESALE VALUE IS GOING TO SUCK. IF IT IS NORMAL, I TOLD THEM THEY SHOULD ADVERTISE IT IN THEIR TV COMMERCIAL. CHEV TRUCKS, LIKE A ROCK, AND SOUND LIKE A ROCK SHAKING IN A TIN CAN. *JB

STEERING
1998 CHEVROLET SILVERADO (K1500) - THE TENSION REQUIRED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL MOMENTARILY BECOMES VERY LOOSE WHILE MAKING RIGHT-HAND TURNS. DRIVER GETS THE SENSATION THERE IS NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DURING THIS TIME. DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL BUT THE MECHANIC AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT HE HAS REPLACED HUNDREDS OF "STEERING WHEEL SPEED SENSORS". I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO FORK OUT $200 TO HAVE IT REPLACED. SEEMS TO BE OK NOW, BUT FOR HOW LONG? *NLM

SUSPENSION:FRONT:HUB
MY COMPLAINT IS THE NEW FRONT WHEEL BEARING HUBS. THESE UNITS ARE USED ON MY 1999 CHEVY TRUCK. THE BEARING HUB ASSEMBLY IS A PRELUBED UNIT. I WAS ON THE HIGH-WAY RUNNING AT ABOUT 70 MPH. I STARTED TO HEAR A HI PITCH NOISE FROM THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK. I STOPPED TO CHECK THIS OUT. I RETURNED HOME VERY SLOW. MY INVESTIGATION TURNED UP,THAT THE WHEEL BEARING WAS BAD. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE G.M. REDESIGN THIS UNIT SO THAT IT CAN BE LUBED. I ALSO FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THERE WAS NO WARNING. I ALSO FEEL THAT MAYBE THE TYPE OF LUBE USED SHOULD ALSO BE CHANGED. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING CHEVY CARS OR TRUCKS FOR THE PASS THIRTY YEARS. I MUST STRESS THAT THE ITEM IN QUESTION IS ON THE FRONT END, IF A PERSON WERE TO LOSE CONTROL ,THAT PERSON WILL HARM OTHERS. *JB

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER:LPG SYSTEMS:TANK VALVE/GAUGE
I HAD TWO INSIDE DOOR PANEL REPLACED ALREADY. THESE TWO THINGS WERE FIXED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, IT GETS WORSE WHEN IT IS COLDER. FUEL GAUGE IS INACCURATE AND JUMPS AROUND WHEN TRUCK IS NOT IN A MOVING GEAR. I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT THE LAST TWO, BECAUSE CHEVY SAYS THE TRUCK IS WORKING WITHIN "NORMAL CHEVY PARAMETER". I HAVE ASKED MANY MECHANICS AND THEY SAY EITHER ONE SHOULD BE HAPPENING. THE DATE BELOW IS AN APPROXIMATE TIME THE LAST TWO STARTED. I ALSO HAVE HAD IT IN TWICE FOR BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS. *JB
