[Spridgets] 2010 GMC Hassles and Issues

[Ron Soave]

We have a 2005 GMC 2500 HD with 4 wheel steering and 4wd for a work/delivery
truck at the hangar, and it has been perfect in pretty abusive duty. The
"check airbag" light came on recently, that's the first thing that's ever gone
wrong with it.

The things I am reading about the issues with late model Chevy / GMC trucks
is such a bummer as I love Chevy's and wish I could consider a new one for
my next truck.

In 2001 I bought (new) a Chevy truck based on the S10 frame . . factory
lowered by 2 inches. .  . . (known as the Xtreme).  I sold it at around
110,000 miles and to tell the truth it held up very well through the years.
When I sold it. .  it was running just as strong and smooth as when I bought
it.   It had the 4.3 V6 which is said to be more reliable than the 4
cylinder version.

 I did have to replace a fuel pump which might have been in part my fault
for allowing it to run low on gas as much as I did?

I have been told that running low on fuel too often can harm the internal
fuel pump.   Maybe some comments on this as I am not sure if this is true or
not (running low on fuel too often can cause an early demise of your
internal fuel pump)?

I was very happy with the reliability experienced with my V6 S10 type.  I
wish I was hearing the same things about the larger GMC and Chevy trucks
that have been built in Toluca over the past few years.  Toluca Mexico.  .
right?   Or somewhere down there.  (The PT Cruiser's are made in Toluca
Mexico).
