ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TRUCK IS NOW 6 YEARS OLD, JUST OVER 70,000 MILES. 3 TO 4 YEARS AGO (MAYBE MORE) THE #5 SPEED ON THE AIR SYSTEM BLOWER STOPPED WORKING. PERHAPS LAST SUMMER OR FALL, I CHECKED THE FUSES: ALL GOOD. I FINALLY FOUND THE WIRING HARNESS PLUG TO THE FAN AND FOUND THE #5 LINE HAD MELTED INSULATION AND THE SURFACE OF THE CONTACT PRONGS BLACKENED. I SANDED THEM AND REINSTALLED THE PLUG. ALL SPEEDS WORKED, FOR A WHILE, BUT SOON BECAME INTERMITTENT. THEN ALL SPEEDS STOPPED WORKING TOTALLY. AT LAST, I REMEMBERED THAT I STILL HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH MASTERTECH, CHECKED IT AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE HARNESS REPLACED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE WORKMAN WHO DID THE REPAIR SAID THAT THIS ITEM WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 SIERRA. WHILE I DO NOW HAVE A WORKING FAN CONTROL, I AM AFRAID TO USE THE #5 FAN SPEED. *TR

TIRES
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE VEHICLE IS USED TO HAUL A TRAVEL TRAILER THAT WEIGHS 6,500 POUNDS. THE VEHICLE IS DESIGNED TO HAUL UP TO 8,500 POUNDS. THE MANUFACTURER PLACED SIZE 245/70/R17P PASSENGER TIRES ON THE VEHICLE, WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE AND COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE A CRASH. THE VEHICLE REQUIRES MINOR TRUCK TIRES, SIZE LT245/70/R17. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE TIRES CURRENTLY ON THE VEHICLE ARE THE CORRECT SIZE; THEREFORE, THEY WILL NOT BE REPLACED BY THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 650 AND CURRENT MILEAGE IS 3,688. UPDATED 11/12/08 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE TIRES WERE REPLACED. UPDATED 11/18/08. *JB
