I purchased a brand new 2005 chevrolet silverado 1500 in may, 2006. I had no trouble with the vehicle.. Until october 27. I had 3800 miles on the truck. I had filled my gas tank just out of san francisco and drove approximately 60 miles just out side of calistoga, california northbound on hwy 29. A winding, uphill mountainous road, single lane traffic except for a few passing lanes and turn-outs. I was driving up an incline. I noticed smoke wisping behind the cab. Almost immediately, the truck died...
