| I have had numerous problems with my chevrolet truck. at 31,000, miles the rear leaf springs went bad. at 41,000 miles the brake master cylender and pittman arm and idler arm assemblies needed to be replaced. being that it was over the warranty period, i did not take it to a cheverolet dealer incurring the cost myself. at 49,000 miles the rear u joint needed repair. at this point, i started to believe that there was more to this problem with the truck as these parts do not usually need repair at such low milage. to top it off, at 51,000 the transmission has failed. | |||
