Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Gas tank gauge works once in a while. our mechanic said it was probably due to moisture. also, the rear differential cover is either cracking or rusting through. i put a new gasket on it and the next day it was leaking again but not at the gasket. about 1/3 up from the bottom, you can see where fluid is leaking through the cover. i called 2 dealers (1 chevrolet, 1 gmc). they both gave me numbers to other dealers (1 in pa., 1 in ia., 1 in upper mi.). the two out of state dealers told me that the part was for a customer and would not sell it. the one in mi. also said that, in addition to "that must be a popular part, because i've had every dealer in the country call me." is this part a defective piece? *nm
