have you also noticed that an unusually large number of the new model chevy/gmc trucks have their right side DRL burned out. In my area, about 70%-80% that I pass on the road have this problem. I wonder if it is an electrical problem much like the tail-light problem in the 88-90 models. G.M. trucks have crappy electrical systems anyway...at least all the one's that we've owned have. Has anyone else noticed this in their part of the country?

I was just saying the same thing to my wife the other day. Most of the GM/GMC trucks in northeast Iowa have the same problem.

My buddy's dad's 2000 SVC sporstruck LT Topline) had the bulb burn out 3 wks after he bought. Everyone else that is confused enought to buy a GM/Chevy seems to be having a similar problem. I have seen a lot with the light out. Trucks resemble their owners, Chevman's lights aren't all on

My brother just bought a 2001 LT. And the strange thing is, it has DRL and night-time autolamps. In the daytime the lights come on in the lower foglamp assembly, and at night the headlamps come on automatically. I think that's a pretty dumb setup.

Yep. I've seen quite a few.

Also, on any make, the high mount brake lights are often out 1/4 of the time.

I just saw two today with the left DRL out also. I thought it might just be happening in my area because it stays very humid down here and that tends to play havoc with cheap electrical systems. I guess it is happening everywhere. Looks like G.M. really does have a problem on their hands. What do you expect though! I almost traded my baby in on a G.M.C. Z-71 after my leaky head gasket encounter. Glad I snapped back into reality! Id rather drive a leaky Ford than a short circuiting chevy!!
