Damn sorry to hear about that. What did GM say about that? The tranny shouldn't be going out that early, mine was no wear near pampered and it ran strong when i sold it.

Yup the Intake gaskets and Piston slap is true(I'm surprised mine didn't have it.)But trannys going before 100k aren't very common. These year of Hoe/Kon are also prone to steering problems, and mushy brakes the ones in my '02 were terrible, but overall these trucks dont have many major problems just a few little annoyances.

 

[YNOT]

i thought the mushy brakes was just the pre 2000.

 

[nc6600]

Nope my '02 the brakes sucked. Both my NNBS the brakes are WAY better. In 04 they upgraded the brakes some i believe.

from a audio point, if you ever want a DD radio get a 03+.

 

[nc6600]

Yeah i would recommend an 03+ you get the better looking interior as well.
