are okay.. My truck only had 13,000 miles when I bought it and now has 20,000. It says if manufacturing date is same as truck build date it hasn't been fixed. The steering box and the truck have the same build date april 2005. (0405) I have contacted gm and since the vin check comes back clean there is nothing they will do. I even had a parts guy at gm dealer tell me that a clean vin check isn't abnormal if the recall is older. It says in the recall the box could cause an accident if not fixed. Any help you could do for would greatly be appreciated. [[redacted]] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(B)(6). *Tr
Vehicle would stop, or would run without brakes (abs) and would not crank. Then it would crank. Was told by repair shop that it was the wiring harness. We believe it is a dangerous manufacturing defect and gmc should recall it. Gmc has already issued technical service bulletin sb-09-06-03-004a 09/01/2009 sb-09-06-03-004b 10032332. Please contact us because the truck is owned by the town of livermore, maine, and we need it to work.

I had driven the truck for about 2 hours that morning. I was at a stop light for one cycle. When the light turned green I pressed the accelerator I heard and felt a bang and crunch. No warning lights came on but I started to smell coolant. I stopped to find the cooling fan torn apart, fan shroud with many holes in it, and the radiator with multiple holes. All the coolant had emptied onto the street. The vehicle was towed to a chevy dealer to be looked at. After the dealers investigation the service...

writer stated that he has seen this failure many times before and the cause is one of two possible scenarios: the fan shroud hit the fan, which caused the breakup of the fan and damage to the radiator, or first the fan came apart and caused the subsequent damage. The required parts are fan, fan shroud, and radiator. *Tr
I purchased three c-5500 trucks. As of now I have two trucks with failed engines due to previous injector failure. I am currently out of warranty but not before I noticed the engine was making more noise than normal. I was told that it had to be broken before it could be repaired under warranty. That was 60,000 miles ago. Which should not be major mileage for a diesel engine. *Tr
