Don't think they make a slide in camper that weighs 759 lbs max. Then when you load it up as 00Silverado4x4 stated, plus you and passengers getting in it.......

The old salt and sand mix was not anywhere near as bad as the magnesium chloride being used in some states. Not only rusting out cars and tractor trailers but bridges too.

Anywher they use deicer you are screwed as far as rust. Washing it off is not always possible when the temp is 20 degrees. I will never buy anything new to run in the winter. Keep a old vehicle for salt season.

my problem after 2 smoke tests, replacing 2 valves turned out to be rust holes in the filler nck. the rubber hose was covering them so the smoke did not get out.

Do you know what year this started? Just curious. My truck is 2001 and if the cap is loose it will set the SES lamp and throw the p0442 code.

there is actually a tighten gas cap message that comes on in the dash?

so it is a flawed piece of crap. It dosent leave you broken down on the side of the road. what about the crappy fuel pumps, the cold start knock, cheesy interior materials, steering shafts that need to be replaced repeatedly? To me lots of things more important than the hour meter. If it wasn't there nobody would be saying "how come they didn't put an hour meter in the truck?"

yea, I did that a couple times (avg speed) but really not important to me.

right, for maintenance. they dont have odometers. I just dont see the need for it on a pick up.

my '01 has never reset. besides if it did i wouldnt lose sleep. just a gimmick.

OK, I got to confess. It was me. I don't know what came over me. I had the can of Silly String and just went off the edge. Sorry dude.
