ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2001 CHEVROLET 2500 SERIES TRUCK WITH AN 8.1 LITER ENGINE. I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE ENGINE WOULD RESTART. SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OFF WARRANTY AND I DO NOT HAVE A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER I HAD AN INDEPENDENT AUTO REPAIR SHOP ATTEMPT TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE COMPUTER WAS NOT PRODUCING CODES AND DIAGNOSIS WAS NOT POSSIBLE. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OVER A FEW WEEKS A CODE WAS FINALLY PICKED UP INDICATING A "CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR FAILURE" WHICH IS OCCURRING INTERMITTENTLY. I THEN DISCOVERED THAT GM HAD RECALLED MANY VEHICLES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE SENSOR AS RECENTLY AS LAST YEAR. I CONTACTED GM ONLY TO FIND THAT EVEN THOUGH THE SYMPTOMS OF MY VEHICLE ARE IDENTICAL TO THOSE RECALLED, MY VIN # IS A FEW OUT OF THE RECALL SEQUENCE BUT GM MAY CONSIDER REPLACING MY SENSOR IF I GET A DIAGNOSIS AT A GM DEALERSHIP. HEREIN LIES MY PROBLEM. DUE TO THE INTERMITTENT NATURE OF THE FAILURE, DIAGNOSIS IS DIFFICULT. IT IT DOES NOT OCCUR WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP I MUST DRIVE IT UNTIL ANOTHER TIME. I LIVE 35 MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND TRAVEL EVEN FURTHER FROM THERE OFTEN. WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS I LOSE STEERING AND BRAKES. I AM RELUCTANT TO CONTINUE DRIVING BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALERSHIP HOPING IT DOES NOT STALL IN TRAFFIC AS IT HAS IN THE PAST BUT STALLS AT A POINT THAT PRODUCES A CODE FOR THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE A CODE DIAGNOSIS FROM AN INDEPENDENT SHOP AND I JUST WANT THIS SAFETY ISSUE RESOLVED JUST LIKE GM DID WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHER 2001 CHEVROLET 2500 TRUCKS UNDER RECALL #06083. *TR
