| I have a 2001 chevy suburban. in regards to gm recall 05027, my vehicle is a 2500 series. i experienced a fuel tank leak. after dealer removed tank they found over heated wiring in the fuel pump module. i appeared to be the same problem as the recall, however they said the recall only covered the 1500 series. i phoned gm and they are looking into it. it didn't sound promising. i hope gm is aware the problem exists in the 2500. i felt fortunate to have avoided a fire as the leak was severe if tank was over 3/4 full. the fuel gauge was also inaccurate. please forward this information along. *tr | |||

| I purchased this vehicle new in 2001. on july 20, 2007 on an out of town family/work trip, i refilled the fuel tank and traveled another 88 miles to my final destination, upon arrival i smelled gas, but saw no problems. the next morning i was scheduled to attend and event and went out to start the truck and found a hole in the asphalt driveway, approximately 3 feet in diameter, and discovered fuel leaking from the middle of my truck. i removed the gas tank protective cover and fuel spilled everywhere. i found a local mechanic that traveled to my location, he and 2 others worked all day and found that the lock ring that holds the fuel pump assembly to the tank was only lightly connected. repairs were made and i traveled back home. 8/13/07 my wife filled the tank 3/4's full and the tank leaked fuel all over again. the fuel is leaking from the tank where the fuel pump assembly is connected. *jb | |||
