| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I am the original owner of a 1995 chevrolet ck2500 4 x 4 truck with the 6.5 liter diesel engine. due to lift pump failure, the truck dies with no warning. the lift pump has been replaced 3 times (currently at repair shop for this again). the dealer has replaced it with a new lift pump supposedly each time, but i was not shown or given the old lift pump. there is a major safety factor involved with this part failure/design. the truck has died 2 out of 3 times in heavy traffic. the '95 chevy truck is used to pull a horse trailer. i am to the point i am afraid to pull the horse trailer loaded with our horses with this chevy truck. i can only imagine what could happen when you have a trailer behind this truck when the lift pump starts going out and you try to steer without power steering or power brakes, because the truck has quit. i found a gm technical service bulletin #77-63-06ab on the internet in regards to a "fix" for this. this article also states the potential danger of this failure such as pulling into heavy traffic or descending a steep hill and losing the use of power steering and power brakes. *jb |
