What owners wrote
Tires wear out exceptionally fast. Dealership authorized replacement of 4 tires in march 2000. At this time, the truck had approx. 16,500 miles. They were replaced due to extreme wear and numerous bulges. About 3 weeks after having these 4 tires replaced, while driving at approx. 20 MPH to make a turn, a tire blew. The tire separated from the rim on both edges and was just centered, hanging loosely from the rim, totally deflated.
Today while trying to park my truck, I pulled into a parking spot and was going to back up, when I heard a whirring noise. I put the truck back in neutral,noise was gone, back in reverse noise has returned. No reverse. I abandoned parking and drove home. I had all forward gears. When I returned home, I put the truck in park..... No park the truck rolled ahead and almost hit another vehicle. Called GMC, was told to take to dealer.
