Consumer Description

FOUR EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS HAVE BROKEN OFF SINCE I'VE OWNED THIS TRUCK AND THE MANIFOLD HAS CRACKED. IT IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT OCCURS IN MANY OF THE SIMILAR V8 EQUIPPED MODELS AND HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED ON THE INTERNET. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED BY GM. THIS PROBLEM ALSO LEADS TO FAULTY EMISSION READINGS BY THE VEHICLE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO ON AND REMAIN ON UNTIL THIS EXPENSIVE PROBLEM IS FIXED. *TR
