Transmission rebuild by Chevrolet at 32,000 miles; the transmission has always and still shifts poorly from 1st to 2nd gear.
Alternator and Starter failed at about 40,000 miles.
New idler and pitman arms at 50,000 miles.
Water Pump and intake manifold gasket failure at 76,000 miles.
From what I am reading, most of my problems are shared by owners of GM trucks of the same model years.
I have had exactly the same problems once I hit +100,000 miles.
I have a 96' 2500 with 5.7 engine. My wife was driving the car for a few days while my daughter was moving. The intake manifold gasket failed and she did not notice the heat gauge reading while driving. When I tried to start the engine the following day there was a very bad knocking noise coming from the engine. I checked the fluid levels and the coolant was very low, oil level good with no sign of water in crankcase.
Anyone else have this experience? I would like to know what the possible damage is and what it will cost to fix?
I'm running my burban for years now at 220k miles and the tranny jus decided to give up, still running though.. what a truck.. chevy is the best.
