Default RE: chev pick up

Yeah you have little things that go wrong, for instance, the seat levers will sometimes break off, the tailgate handles will become increasingly harder to release over time, the steering wheel will rub and crack, but you can take precaustions to prevent that by adding a steering wheel cover.[/align][/align]As for other moderate problems: A lot of times the fuel gauge will do funny stuff, and in some cases a 4.3L S-sereis will go through an intake manifold gasket replacement in its lifetime, so monitor what leaks out from under the vehicle.. the 2.2l is apt to need a PCV valve replacement and if the catalytic converters get clogged, it will most certainly burn a hole in the intake manifold after a good long while.[/align]
