Bunk Tail-gate cables could corrode(sp?) and break:(
All models with Tail-gates 01-04, Silverado's, HD's, Avelanches, I think only full size models
Good thing I own a '99:cool::

They need to do a recall on the cheap ass little plastic thingies that conect the cables to the handle. My buddy's have broke three times on his 2001.:mad:

My 78 Blazer cable gave away last summer. Why do they use plastic on these newer work trucks? I`m sticking with rebuilding the old ones. It`s much cheaper and stronger.

You might want to sell your truck. Yup MMD, has a Chevy, and I know you'd hate to have something in common with him :D

I've seen a lot of Chevy trucks where I work (general contractor)
You can just about count on
96-99 :
door handle breaking off
tail gate handle breaking
blown manifold gasket before 150K
broken 4l60e before 150k
wiper motor contacts breaking
various interior knobs or handles breaking
2000+
broken tailgate straps
broken tailgate handle
wierd tapping and piston slap noises
4L60e probably still sucks
probably a few other things we haven't figgered out yet.
I'm not saying Ford is any better, but after the work GM trucks I have driven, it would have to be a real good deal to drive another.
I wish Toyota would have sent us a pickup version of the FZJ-80 (93-97 cruiser). Most folks get 200k-300k before any major mechanical work and that's with the gas motor.
Something kinda like this would have been the shit

the commercial with the guy singing and the other guys sitting there not kicking him or changing the station is reason enough to not buy a chebby....

Chevy/Isuzu historically has stronger more economical motors.....Ford has a more work oriented build and look...IMO

Your wish is coming true. Toyota will release late next year a 3/4 ton truck based on the Cruiser chassis, and a bigger V8 than whats offered now.
