This is not the first problem with this truck, the air conditioning blower motor went out. The third brake light was not tightened, and caused water to run down the back window.
Tl* - the contact owns a 2001 silverado pickup. The contact stated that every 2000 to 3000 miles while driving at 50 MPH the engine would lose power momentarily, and then start back up.
