Notice a lot of guys are experiencing very long delays in getting injectors from GM. Wonder what GM woiud do if a few telvision stations Trouble Shooter Teams looked into the problem and made it natiolnal news. I'm sure GM could get injectors from somrwhere else in addition to where they do now. Remember reading awhile back that a a parts supplier was bringing some in from Italy that might be superior to Bosch. GM, if you are reading, how about coming on line and tell us first hand whats being done tol take care of the problem. Not trying to make trouble, just think when a guy buys a Professional Truck he shouldn't have to wait more than shipping time to get parts for it. Edited by: Bill Gisse

Some "Lemon Laws" have time limits that a dealer may keep your truck for a specific repair, so GM better pay attention or they will be buying back their trucks. The consumer should not have to suffer because the vehicle manufacturer can't get replacement parts due to their production problems.


You may want to look into your state's lemon law. If you qualify, you might get a good opportunity to buy a new truck with no injector problems.


In Utah for example, 4 or more times into a service department for the same problem <OR> in a dealerships service department for more that 30 consecutive days and the auto manufacturer gets their vehicle back...


Utah Lemon Law:


a) the same nonconformity has been subject to repair four or more times by the manufacturer, its agent, or its authorized dealer within the express warranty term or during the one-year period following the date of original delivery of the motor vehicle to a consumer, whichever is earlier, but the nonconformity continues to exist; or


(b) the vehicle is out of service to the consumer because of repair for a cumulative total of 30 or more business days during the warranty term or during the one-year period, whichever is earlier.

Thats a tought Lemon Law. In Texas I think it alloows a replacement if the truck/car is brought back three times for the same problem. My grandson got a new Mitsubishi truck a few years ago under the Lemon law.Edited by: Bill Gisse

I believe that most "lemon laws" are only good for the first 12 months or 18,000 miles. The warranty the GM is giving on the 2001 and 2002 trucks is 200,000 miles or 7 years. Ohio lemon law is not applicable on these vehicles.

While on vacation in Colorado Springs, I heard a very loud "clack" while at idle. Took the rig into Daniels Chev and they diagnosed the problem as "injectors" with only 26,700 miles. The real problem was the length of time it took to get replacement injectors (1 week). Thankfully we weren't to leave until two weeks. Labor was reported to be nearly $4500. Sure glad it was under warranty. They also replaced the 4WD selector switch for the fourth time to clear a "SERVICE 4WD SOON" intermittant light but it still comes on. I think it's time to look into the transfer case, any comments?
Thanks
