2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME FOR INJECTORS IN OUR 2003 INJECTORS, NOT ONE INJECTOR...ALL 8. LUCKY THIS TIME JUST 4 HRS. FROM HOME AND SOMEBODY TO COME WITH TRAILER TO PICK US UP. SEEMS INJECTORS ONLY LAST 20 TP 30,000 MILES AND THEY ARE GONE CRACKED. GM WONT BACK THEM KNOWING THEY ARE A PROBLEM, AND $5,000.00 EACH TIME THEY ARE REPLACED. GM INJECTORS ARE JUNK OUT THE DOOR AND LEAVING HUNDREDS OF OWNERS STRANDED ON HIGHWAY AND SUFFERING TOW BILL AND REPAIRS, BUT THIS TIME WE ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY A SEMI TRUCK WHICH SLAMMED ON HIS BREAKS BLOWING A TIRE TO MISS US AND OUR HORSE TRAILER WITH 3 HORSES IN IT. THE ABF TRUCKER THAT ALMOST HIT US IN THE REAR PULLED OVER AS WE DID, AND TOLD HIM THE TRUCK JUST STALLED, WE PULLED THE HOOD AND DIESEL FUEL WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND HE STATED I CRACKED MY INJECTORS, THE LOCAL GM DEALER TOLD ME THE SAME THING AND THAT YEAR HAS PLENTY OF PROBLEMS WITH INJECTORS BUT GM WONT REPLACE THEM. WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE, ANOTHER BUS LOAD OF KIDS KILLED TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE?? ANOTHER $5,000.00 DONATION TO GM. *TR

I NOTICE A TICKING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. I ASSUMED IT MAY BE AN EXHAUST LEAK AND I WAS CORRECT. THIS VEHICLE HAS A STAINLESS STEEL EXHAUST SYSTEM THAT SHOULD LAST A LIFETIME YET THERE SEEMS TO BE A REAL PROBLEM WITH EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BREAKING OFF, CAUSING EXHAUST LEAKS WHICH POLLUTE THE AIR AND RUIN OTHER VEHICLE COMPONENTS SUCH AS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I AM ALSO THINKING THAT THE MANIFOLDS ARE WARPING CAUSING THE BOLTS TO BREAK. THESE REPAIRS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE AND/OR TIME CONSUMING. STAINLESS STEEL BOLTS WOULD HAVE POSSIBLY PREVENTED THIS PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS PROBLEM AFFECTS 1999 TO 2007 VEHICLES AND I HEREBY REQUEST THAT A RECALL BE FORCED UPON THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN BUILDING CARS LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER. THERE IS ALSO A VIDEO ON YOU - TUBE THAT EXPLAINS THIS CONDITION. *TR
