C1500 at times when stopping will shut down, all lights on the dash board will light up and whole truck will shake. took to chevy dealer ship they said needed new motor.. already put top end of motor in 1 1/2 years ago - same thing is happening now but they say needs new motor. let truck set for several days, crank it and it seems to be ok. but don't know when it will do it again. if needed a new motor it would not crank and drive. chev. dealership was going to charge $6,000 for new motor and labor. and obviously that is not what is wrong with it. 08132018

Takata recall burning engine oil
The truck is in excellent condition and has been well-maintained. at 127,000 the engine started making a noise diagnosed as lifter noise. within a hundred miles or so, while driving on a highway, it started to make a very loud noise, and again diagnosed as lifters on at least 2 cylinders needing replaced. upon the advice of a 25+ year gm mechanic i will be replacing the motor as this is most cost effective as well as buying a program chip to bypass the "active fuel management" which has caused the problem. this was also recommended as gm has not altered anything engineering wise to prevent this from happening on a brand new motor that would be purchased from them. *tr

The manifold bolts have broken off into the head of the engine. resulting in failure of seal to head from the exhaust manifold. in turn, has caused the catalytic converter to fail and now the vehicle requires extensive work to pass emissions testing in california. it only takes one bolt to break on the exhaust manifold to cause this issue. the bolts are obviously the weak link. the engineering design needs to be modified immediately. it is not listed as a maintenance item in any gm owners manual. why should the consumer be responsible for an item that causes catastrophic failure to the emission system, which is a mandated and governed by the federal government and fee'd accordingly via state and county guidelines. *tr
