problem #2

S-10 Pickup LS 4..3L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 208,000 miles

For the entire life of the vehicle, the fuel gauge never reported the level correctly. My brother thought that he had 1/4 tank but actually had no gas. The fuel pump burned out so the fuel pump needed replacement. My situation happened much later and I was not out of fuel ever. Had the fuel pump replaced a second time.

(reported on)

S-10 Pickup LS 4.3L Vortec

  • Automatic transmission
  • 110,000 miles

I bought this vehicle used in 2003 with 106,00 miles on the clock. Up to now, I've replaced the fuel injection unit twice ($1,000 total) and the fuel pump three times! ($109.00 per). This seems to happen most in the summer months. Besides the normal nickel and dime crap that bears, this has been a dependable vehicle... but I'm afraid to go any real distance for fear of another fuel pump failure. I've been told that keeping the fuel tank above 1/4 full at all times usually heads off pump failure, that being said, why doesn't Toyota and rest of the auto makers suffer the same problem?. I believe GM has just used sub-standard parts and/or sub contractors (cheap labor type) to cut the cost of production, in turn creating a mess for average income consumers such as myself. Re-design the fuel delivery system and I may just keep buying GM products.
