FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
HAD FAILURE OF BOTH REAR BRAKE LINES AND FUEL DELIVERY LINES/SENDING UNIT DUE TO HEAVILY RUSTED/RUPTURED METAL LINES. FORTUNATELY, THE FAILURES WERE OBSERVED IN MY DRIVEWAY, LEAKING BRAKE FLUID AND GASOLINE. THE VEHICLE REQUIRED TOWING TO THE LOCAL MECHANICS GARAGE.TOTAL COST OF REPAIR (ALL RUSTED LINES AND FUEL SENDING UNIT) AT LOCAL GARAGE WAS $875.00.*AK

EXAMPLE OF PROBLEM, WHEN THE TRUCK HAS RUN 50 MILES OR SO ON THE FREEWAY, STOP AT OFF RAMP. THE TRUCK SHIFTS HARD FROM 1ST TO 2 ND WHEN I PULL AWAY. THIS CONTINUES UNTIL I SHUT THE TRUCK OFF, WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND START AGAIN. THEN IT IS FINE FOR A WHILE AND WILL REPEAT THE SAME, SOMETIMES WEEKS APART, MORE OFTEN IN THE SUMMER MONTHS. MY DRIVING PATTERN IS ONE OF SHORT TRIPS, SO I GUESS THIS IS WHY MY PROBLEM IS SPARODIC. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ONE WEB SITES ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER GM CARS AND TRUCKS,THE CODE #1870 SEEMS TO FIGURE IN MOST CASES, MOST PEOPLE HAVE HAD NO LUCK WITH GM, AND ARE STUCK WITH BILLS OF 2-3000 DOLLARS. I HOPE YOU CAN CHECK THIS OUT, SEEMS TO COVER GM CARS AND TRUCKS FROM THE 80S-01. THANK'S GRAHAM BROWN. DT
