| After hitting a bump in the road the right rear leaf spring mounting bracket broke. after further investigation at a local chevy dealership it was discovered that the leaf spring itself was also cracked. further investigation revealed the same to be true on the left side of the truck as well. it was also discovered that the right rear shock, where it attaches to the frame, was completely corroded off. it was while under the truck investigating the suspension issues that it was discovered that the entire brake line system was severely corroded. i felt fortunate that this was discovered before a catestrophic failure occured. it was also noticed that the entire under carriage/frame was severely corroded. when asked if this was normal, the chevy mechanic stated that they see this all the time on the gm trucks they service. although this survey is for the brake lines i feel that the corrosion issues associated with the frame is just as severe an issue and should be investigated. | |||

| The rear exhaust manifold bolts are broken on my truck. from a few shops i talked to this happens to a lot of gm v8's like my 6.0l. one exhaust shop told me every silverado/seirra with a v8 around 1999-2002 has one or more manifold bolt broke off. i just cant imagine that gm can send out vehicles that they know are defective. they fixed this on later models with larger manifold bolts. but screw the guy who has an older truck, right? this should be investigated, and gm should be forced to repair this at no cost or a discounted cost. | |||

| The instrument panel(speedometer, fuel gauge, etc.) is completely inoperable. i've read a ton forums that many owners are having or were(since paid out-of-pocket) having the same problem. gm/chevrolet has reported that the cost for repair is $500. let me also add, this problem isn't in just my particular model and year, but newer models as well. this is huge safety problem being the operator of the vehicle doesn't know the speed of his vehicle. | |||
