| The cable holding the spare tire on my 2002 silverado failed,my tire dropped from the vehicle and i initially thought that someone had ran into me. i looked in my rear view mirror and noticed my tire heading towards the side of the road. after retrieving the tire and then locating the other related hardware, i examined the cable and it reminded me of a previous failure i had on a cable that supports the tailgate in the open position. when the cable failed on the tailgate, i took my truck to the local dealership and they replaced failed cable, but let me know that there was a recall on the cables and would be asked to return and both cables would be replaced. i was called and the new cables were installed. i was told the failures had to do with a zinc coating either used or not used. i was curious if the same issue could apply to the failure of the cable that holds the spare time? *jb | |||

| My 2002 chevy silverado has a no start problem. the truck has always started on first use but after it has been driven and shut off, many times it does not restart. it has happened in all types of weather and and even if only runs for a short period. there is no rhyme or reason to it. sometimes it starts and sometimes it doesn't. after the truck sits for about 2 hours, it usually starts again. i have taken it into the chevy dealerand the starter was replaced. this did not cure the problem. several months ago they replaced the parking switch and connectors. the problem is still occurring and more often. i have taken it to the dealer at least 5 other times and they cannot identify the problem. i cannot drive the truck without worrying that i will be stranded everytime i turn it off. | |||
