I had to turn to all of you experts for this one. I am the original owner
of a 1998 Chevy Stepside 1500 with just over 100,000 miles on it. Since
about 6 months into owning it, I've had it in the shop 5 or 6 times with
fuel injector problems and a couple of times to have them check on the
transmission.
The fuel injector problem continues to be an issue off and on and the
transmission
situation has become more regular. When it shifts (it's an automatic) from
1st to 2nd, paricularly when it's warmed up, it will jerk with so much force
that it makes me look in the rearview mirror to see who has run into me.
This problem, tho very slight, started showing up a few years ago and the
dealer couldn't duplicate the problem. I've checked for recall information
and have found nothing. I like my truck and would like to have it around
for a few more years, at least, but feel that between the injector problem
and the transmission problem, I'm heading for some big troubles. Any input
please ping me off line.
Thanks,
Michael
