GMC C/K 3500 2005 Engine And Engine Cooling Cooling System Report #10132977
GMC C/K 3500 2005 car safety problem was reported on July 22, 2005.GMC C/K 3500 2005, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM . I HAVE A GMC PICKUP TRUCK WITH A DIESEL ENGINE THAT HAS A CHRONIC OVERHEATING ISSUE. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH SUCH AN ISSUE, AS THERE ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS, MAYBE EVEN THOUSANDS WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE IS EXCLUSIVE TO GM DIESEL PICKUPS WITH THE 6.6 LITER DURAMAX DIESEL ENGINE MODEL YEAR 2004.5 AND 2005. I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK FOR ONLY 2 MONTHS AND AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALER FOR THE SECOND TIME. I HAVE READ THAT GM HAS HAD TO BUY BACK SEVERAL OF THESE VEHICLES. WHILE SOME DEALERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE RECOGNIZING THE PROBLEM AND TELLING CUSTOMERS THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, MANY ARE DENYING ANY DOCUMENTED SERVICE BULLETINS OR THAT A PROBLEM EVEN EXISTS. THIS PROBLEM IS PREDOMINANT WHEN TOWING AND HAULING, WHICH IS WHAT THESE VEHICLES ARE DESIGNED FOR. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE SPECIFICALLY TO TOW A TRAVEL TRAILER WITH. I CAN'T DO THAT WITHOUT HAVING AN ENGINE OVERHEATING ISSUE. THE POTENTIAL DANGER OF TOWING A TRAILER AND YOUR VEHICLE OVERHEATING IS QUITE OBVIOUS. MY DEALER TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM FOUND WHEN THEY TESTED MY VEHICLE. THEY COULD NOT SIMULATE THE SITUATION CAUSING AN OVERHEAT. THE BEST THEY COULD DO WAS GET THE TRUCK TO HEAT UP TO 230 DEGREES, WHICH BY THE WAY IS ABOUT 15 DEGREES OVER NORMAL OPERATING TEMPS. I AM TAKING MY VEHICLE BACK TO MY DEALER FOR ANOTHER CHECK. DO I HAVE TO BE STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD POTENTIALLY ENDANGERING MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF SEVERAL MOTORISTS BEFORE GENERAL MOTORS DOES SOMETHING? *NM.Mileage was 1500 miles.

My GMC K1500 sometimes starts running rough. It may correct it's self or may continue running rough untill you turn it off for a while then start it up again. Sometimes it may go a month with no problem then the problem may come right back. 1998 GMC Sierra 4x4. 118,000 miles but rebuilt engine installed at 78,000 miles. Drive carefully, slow take offs, 65 to 70 mph on road, but gas mileage is 10 to 11.5 mpg. Changed air filter but no better. Tire pressure is fine. Any suggestions for 2004 GMC Envoy~~~ I have no rt or lft brake lights.(only the bar brake light at the top of the hatch.) I was told that the right one wasn't working. When I went under the seat to check the fuse I noticed that it was the only fuse that was loose, j What can i do to repair the problem i have with my wipers being intermittend thank you. I have a 2007 Yukon Denali XL and my climate control + button for the heat on the drivers side peeled off. Anyone out there having the same issue? It looks like the passengers side is doing the same. Seat belt will not retract on 2004 GMC ENVOY XLT Seat belt will not retract on 2004 GMC ENVOY XLT It is stuck all pulled out and will not roll back up. rear end is splipping 2005 GMC W-5500 has low power starting at 40 mph or going up a hill? 2003 envoy sle 4wd - service 4wd light , parking brake , abs lights on plus hvac fan does not work BUT no codes on any .and also stalls out at idle . what the heck is going on. help! abs activation at low speeds on a 2002 yukon with a 5.3 L engine. The abs activates at 10 km/h. blower speed switch burns up as soon as you turn it on,wipers hang up and stay on when switch is turned off
IT is stuck all pulled out , and will not rolll back in .
