ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM

I HAVE SPECIFIC DATES FROM REPAIR BILLS IF REQUESTED.I UNDERSTAND THERE WAS PROBLEMS W/ THE PAINT FINISH IN WHICH THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE GM WASN'T REPAIRING THE PROBLEM ANYMORE. $1200.00 TO REPAIR. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN 96' W/ 29,000 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION HAS ALWAYS CLUNKED WHEN SHIFTING. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS OK. 92 'S SHIFT HARD NORMALLY. THE WATER PUMP WENT OUT PREMATURLY IN WHICH NOW I NEED TO REPLACE THE OIL RINGS DO TO WARPAGE. THE RADIATOR WAS A SURPRISE TO ME AND ESPECIALLY THE EXUAST SYSTEM. FOR SUCH LOW MILES AS THIS TRUCK HAS, THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN COSTLY AND CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE.
