A few years ago my GMC Jimmy lost an intake gasket. It had 80,000 miles. I brought it to a dealership thinking they'd take care of me. Wrong! They said when this happens it usually takes out the crank bearings. They said it would be better to change them before they took out the crank. I figured it would be nice to know I could trust it after. Wrong again! About thirty miles after the new bearings it started rapping from the lower end. They tried to convince me it was piston slap, you know the other GM defect, and it was nothing to worry about. They insisted it was fine. 10 miles later it was about to throw a rod. I brought it back again. They then put in a new crankshaft, bearings and oil pump. That blew up! They put in yet another crank, bearings, and oil pump. That crank lasted, but the lifters were now tapping. They replaced the lifters and it still tapped. I then adjusted the rockers myself and it was OK. A month later the transmission died due to the recalled trans wiring harness. They paid for the harness, but not the transmission. A couple years later the intake gasket went again and I got rid of the truck. The dealership who put me through this hell was Hights' Chevrolet in Skowhegan Maine. Last week my Cadillac Seville stopped putting out heat. Today I spent five hours flushing that miserable Dex Cool out of it. It took five flushes to get it clean enough to allow the climate control to work properly. I know all car makers have their moments, but what the f!!! I just sold my 2001 Ford Super Duty with the 7.3. The cps recall was a walk in the park. If it was a super cab I never would have sold it and there would be no more GMs in the driveway.
