VEHICLE IS 2001 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 HD WITH 6.6L DURAMAX DIESEL AND ALLISON AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. AT APPROXIMATELY 88,000 MILES / APPROX 2500 HOURS, THE TRANSFER CASE HYDRAULIC PUMP WORE THROUGH THE REAR HALF OF THE TRANSFER CASE, RESULTING IN LARGE AMOUNT OF TRANSMISSION FLUID BEING RELEASED ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. SINCE THE OIL IS FLAMMABLE AND IT GETS SPRAYED ALL OVER THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE (INCLUDING THE EXHAUST SYSTEM) IT PROBABLY PRESENTS A FIRE HAZARD. IT IS AT THE VERY LEAST A KNOWN DEFECT, AS MINIMAL RESEARCH ONLINE (SEE HTTP://WWW.DIESELPLACE.COM/ AND SEARCH IN THE DRIVETRAIN THREAD FOR "PUMP RUB") WILL SHOW DOZENS, IF NOT HUNDREDS OF OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE TYPE THAT ARE HAVING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

SEPTEMBER,03 I HAD ONE BRIDGESTONE DUELER LT285/75R16 SEPARATE,CAUSING SERIOUS VIBRATION. REPLACED TIRE WITH SAME TYPE TIRE AND REMAINING TIRES WERE INSPECTED BY DEALER FOR SAFETY AND RE-MOUNTED. NEXT WEEK DUELER EXPLODED CAUSING $4200 DAMAGE TO LEFT SIDE OF TRUCK AND SIGNIFICANT HEARING LOSS. THE TIRE WAS INSPECTED TWICE BY BRIDGESTONE. FIRST TIME THEY SAID TIRE INDICATED THAT TIRE STRUCK SOMETHING. SECOND TIME WAS JUST A DENIAL AS I HAD ASKED BRIDGESTONE TO MARK ON THE TIRE WHERE IT HAD HIT SOMETHING. I NEW IT HAD NOT. MR. SHEEHAN, THEIR INSURANCE ADJUSTER478 7501166, TOLD ME THEY SHOULD HAVE PAID THE CLAIM. I DID NOT INCLUDE THE HEARING LOSS IN THE CLAIM. NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE INFORMED ME OF THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH DUELER TIRES AND BRIDGESTONES DENIAL/FRAUD TACTICS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BY THE US GOVERNMENT TO PREVENT DEATHS AND INJURIES. *NM
