Consumer Description

I WENT OUT TO LEAVE FOR A MEETING AND STARTED MY TRUCK. I HEARD A TICKING NOISE THAT I HAD NOT HEARD PRIOR TO THIS MORNING. I OPENED THE HOOD TO INVESTIGATE THE CAUSE OF THE TICKING AND DISCOVERED ON THE LEFT BANK ONE OF THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS WAS MISSING THE HEAD. I THEN WENT AROUND TO THE RIGHT BANK AND NOTICED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS BROKEN COMPLETELY ABOUT MID WAY OF THE MANIFOLD. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS NEW OFF THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE HAD VERY LITTLE ISSUE WITH IT UNTIL THIS ISSUE POPPED UP. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AFFECTING CHEVROLET AND GM VEHICLES WITH 8 CYLINDER ENGINES. THIS VEHICLE IS USED AS A DAILY DRIVER AND IS NOT USED FOR COMMERCIAL TOWING, NOR IS IT USED FOR TOWING ON A REGULAR BASIS. *TR
