What owners wrote
Tranny, ABS, cooling system, tailgate, etc. I bought the truck 2003 didn't exchange title until later recall when I first bought it under 50,000 mile warranty. I file an complain recall repair still having same problem. Sad thing my father is an retired employee in dallas location. Researched the recalls from previously and present same results.
Two of the factory exhaust manifold bolts are broken on the drivers side of the engine, the back two nearest the fire wall. There is an exhaust leak due to the factory exhaust manifold bolts breaking off, and the manifold is leaking exhaust which is very close to the firewall material which I am worried that might catch on fire. GM should have a recall on these exhaust manifold bolts on silverados to fix and repair them.
