Noticeable ticking noise started coming form the engine, upon further inspection it was the lifters that was causing the noise. DFM, AFM the truck is out of warranty at 76,000 mi. So i got a second opinion from another shop and got it fixed through them, not the dealer. My shop re surfaced the Heads and went a few steps further than the dealer would have done.
Fuel tank rupture driving on interstate hwy, towing ~5000lb rv at 60 mph. Never saw road debris, dealer insists it was ruptured tank. Tank is plastic and totally unprotected. Dumped 20-25 gal fuel, lost power, barely got to shoulder and exit vehicle with fuel vapors everywhere. Numerous items could have easily ignited the truck/rv with huge potential for injury/death. Local volunteer fire dept responded. This was memorial day weekend, dangerous traffic, had to arrange towing both the GM truck plus the towed rv. No dealer would loan me a vehicle to tow with. Dealer charged $1500 for repairs (replacement) of a $200 plastic tank. All could have been avoided with a $7 metal cover for the tank.
