EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE ARE UNKNNOW, AT NO TIME WAS ADVERSE STRESS OR STRAIN PLACED ON THIS VEHICLE. THE PROBLEMS BEGAN IN NOVEMBER 2003 WHEN I LOST FIRST GEAR IN MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I DROPPED THE PAN TO REPLACE THE FILTER AND FLUID, THERE WERE METAL ROLLER BEARINGS AND METAL DEBREE IN THE PAN. I HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. 80,000 MILES IS WAY TOO YOUNG FOR A TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. MARCH, MY WATER PUMP BEGAN LEAKING, I REPLACED IT. APRIL, MY HEATER CORE BEGAN LEAKING, I BY PASSED IT. MAY, MY RADIATOR BEGAN LEAKING, I HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED. THE RADIATOR AND HEATER CORE ARE BEING STORED FOR A SHORT TIME FOR ME UNTIL I CAN DECIDE IF I AM GOING TO BEGIN LEGAL CLASS ACTIONS ON THE FAULTY COOLING SYSTEM ON THIS GMC SERRIA 1500 PICKUP. GMC OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE.*AK
