| 4500 topkick has had numerous failures that cause the engine to derate and the vehicle will only run 20 mph which is a hazard to traffic. it has been returned to the dealer several times only to have another failure. this vehicle is a 2007 model and the problem is always blamed on something we did like bad fuel or a sensor got unplugged somehow. i personally will never own another gm product. *tr | |||
