What 1995 Chevrolet C2500 owners say
Windows, wipers & sunroof
When hauling cattle on the freeway, a sudden downpour hit, we could not see and the wipers did not work. There was quite a lot of traffic and we were very lucky to be able to pull over safely and not cause any accidents. The wipers had quit before and our mechanic said to tap the motor to loosen any dirt, that helped but was not a cure. We replaced the motor the end of April, 1999.
Intermittently the windshield wipers become inoperable, obstructing the view of the driver. A recall has been issued on the vehicle's make/model. However, this vehicle was not included due to VIN. Dealer has been notified. The consumer feels the wipers should be on recall since it was a continuous problem.
Fuel & propulsion system
I have had nothing but problems with my 1995 Chevrolet c-2500 pickup with the 6.5 turbo diesel engine. There is a major design flaw with the pump mounted driver and injection pump. The pump mounted driver is mounted tom the injection pump and the heat from both the pump and engine is destroying the driver. When the driver fails the engine will quit at any speed and you have complete loss of brakes,power steering, was pulling a trailer last time my pump driver failed and luckily was not going up or down a hill because I had to use the electronic trailer brakes to stop my truck injection pump is also a known issue with these engines and the replacement is over 1200 dollars. GM extended the war for these two parts to 11 years or 120K. …
I am the original owner of a 1995 Chevrolet ck2500 4 x 4 truck with the 6.5 liter diesel engine. Due to lift pump failure, the truck dies with no warning. The lift pump has been replaced 3 times (currently at repair shop for this again). The dealer has replaced it with a new lift pump supposedly each time, but I was not shown or given the old lift pump. There is a major safety factor involved with this part failure/design. The truck has died 2 out of 3 times in heavy traffic. The '95 Chevy truck is used to pull a horse trailer. I am to the point I am afraid to pull the horse trailer loaded with our horses with this Chevy truck. I can only imagine what could happen when you have a trailer behind this truck when the lift pump starts going out and you try to steer without power steering or power brakes, because the truck has quit. …
Engine & cooling
Vehicle stopped running at 65 MPH. Dashboard lights did not come on. On the side of the road (where I was able to pull off the highway) it finally re-started. I brought the vehicle home. When I attempted to make another trip, the same thing happened. I was less than a mile from my home. I eventually was able to restart. The final outcome was that the ignition switch was the problem. I called the dealership and they advised me that my vehicle was not part of the recall. I believe that it should be included in the recall for GM vehicles. My truck is a 6.5 liter diesel. Which May be the reason it was not included in the recall. I believe this is a factory defect and should be included in the recall.
Upon numerous occasions, truck engine stops as if the switch has been cut off, of course it hasn`t. The last time, 11/02/99, the truck would not start back, as it had in the past. However after calling a wrecker,and waiting about 30 minutes, it crank with no problem and performed perfectly. Drove to repair shop, cumputer analizer showed no problem. Truck always stops at a low speed, 5 to 20 MPH. I would appreciate any information on how to find and correct this problem. Thank you earl hayes
