CHEVROLET S-10, 2000, WITH 19000 MILES ON IT. LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEARING HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT ALSO, WAS NEVER DRIVEN IN THE WINTER, SO THERE IS NO SALT DAMAGE.

ALSO, I HEARD THAT A LOT OF THESE TRUCKS AND BLAZERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM.*AK

FAULTY FUEL PUMP UNIT. I DRIVE A 2000 CHEVROLET S-10 PICKUP WITH LESS THAN 51,000 MILES. I JUST RECENTLY HAD THE FUEL PUMP UNIT REPLACED FOR AROUND $830., WHICH INCLUDED THE NECESSARY TOWING. MY MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY AND TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE REPLACING THESE FUEL PUMP UNITS LEFT AND RIGHT. HE SAID THAT IT APPEARS TO BE A REAL PROBLEM WITH LATER MODEL GM VEHICLES. HE HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE IN HIS SHOP AT THE SAME TIME, AND IT HAD ONLY 46,000 MILES ON IT. MY MECHANIC ALSO SAID THAT THESE UNITS SHOULD NOT BE FAILING LIKE THEY ARE, AND THAT GM HAS A REAL PROBLEM UNIT HERE.*AK
