Known issues on the 1995 K2500. The federal record holds two recalls, both on replacement service parts rather than the truck as built: fuel filters that can seal badly at the connection and leak, and oil filters whose sealing can also fail and let the engine lose oil, each carrying a fire risk. Twelve owner complaints are logged with NHTSA, led by the service brakes with three, then the power train and tires with two apiece. Brake and driveline procedures, torque values and diagnostics are the pages that follow those complaints most closely.
