"It is a poor example of a quality truck"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

So far the steering has a major rattle and clunk that comes through the steering column.

The transmission after making a turn acts like it is slipping.

The wheel covers have fake lug nuts that keep coming loose.

At highway speed the truck will shudder and vibrate after hitting a bump in the road.

General comments?

The vehicle sags badly if you put a minor load on it.

When driving on curvy roads, the truck leans badly, my wife's Dodge truck handles really well and can handle a heavy load. This truck is more like a car with a pickup bed on it.

Very poor fuel mileage.

I have a 2002 silverado Vin 2GCK19T321183677

Major brake failure at 30K rotors, calipers, pads $1000.00.

Noise in rear found to be yoke at transfer case $400.00.

Steering box noise, repaired warranty. Ride suspension switch repaired 2 times WT. Vehicle rides like a car which it was what I wanted, however cannot carry a load or tow a trailer at all.

That "clunk" or "rattle" that you are hearing has something to due with a grease packing in the steering column. I had the same thing happen to mine. It should be covered by the manufacture.
