| 1) fuel gage reads empty- has been like this for about 6 months. began as an intermittent problem, but now is always on empty. 2) power steering: makes a whirring sound when i turn the steering wheel - beaman gmc service in nashville has the detailed records, but i brought it in before for this, and it was repaired temporarily, but the sound has been back again for several months | |||
