DIGITAL INSTRUMENT PANEL
08/04/200712011/10/1999
 Issue number 1: the paint on my 1997 k3500 dually has been peeling away consistently for the past couple of years. i have had areas repaired before, however, the areas not repaired are peeling as well, as though the primer coat is defective. issue number 2: it has come to my attention that the speedometer/odometer is 10 miles an hour faster than it should be at 60 mph, which has racked up numerous miles on my vehicle unnecessarily, and putting me out of reach of the extended warranty back in february 2005 when my transmission needed replaced. i have always been a chevrolet man, but i am re-thinking this logic at the present time. *jb

VISIBILITY - WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER - MOTOR
10/04/2009720001
 I have a 1997 chevrolet 3500 pickup truck and a 1997 gmc 2500 pickup truck, and i am having windshield wiper motor problems with both trucks. both trucks have just over 70,000 miles on each. the wipers will work in light rain most of the time but in a heavy rain they will quit and sometimes start again if i shut the engine off. when i try them on a dry day they most often will work. i have found out that there was a recall onthem but the dealer say because they are extended cab trucks they are not covered. *tr
