“I have specific dates from repair bills if requested.I understand there was problems w/ the paint finish in which the dealership said the GM wasn't repairing the problem anymore. $1200.00 to repair. I bought the truck in 96' w/ 29,000 miles. The transmission has always clunked when shifting. The dealership said it was ok. 92 's shift hard normally. The water pump went out prematurly in which now I need to replace the oil rings do to warpage. The radiator was a surprise to me and especially the exuast system. …”
