Chevrolet C1500 Engine problems by year

1989 Chevrolet c-1500 caught on fire while driving. *Ts the fire originated under the hood. *Nm

I have specific dates from repair bills if requested.I understand there was problems w/ the paint finish in which the dealership said the gm wasn't repairing the problem anymore. $1200.00 To repair. I bought the truck in 96' w/ 29,000 miles. The transmission has always clunked when shifting. The dealership said it was ok. 92 'S shift hard normally. The water pump went out prematurly in which now I need to replace the oil rings do to warpage. The radiator was a surprise to me and especially the exuast system. For such low miles as this truck has, the problems have been costly and certainly a safety issue.*Ak

While sitting at a light the vehicle cut off and wouldn't start back up. Also, when consumer was driving vehicle lost power and died out. Consumer claimed that someone changed mileage on vehicle. *Ak

Blue smoke comes from the tail pipe when vehicle is first started for the day.
