Your doing good. I own a Chev Astro AWD and I have replaced my cap and rotor three times in about 4oookm. Dealer says it's common and GM Canada said they can't help me and that I should talk to a service tech.. I guess they only make the product and pass the buck on to the dealers. Apparently there is no fix to the problem and we, the consumer just have to keep replacing them as needed.

He had the same problem with GM rep saying that they didnt know what was wrong with it. They initial had a recall for the ac line to be padded becasuse condensate was running off of it into distribitor cap. Button and points would get burnt up. Even after their so calle dfix. So he traded it for a toyota and told GM to kiss it. No more GM for the carter family and Ford is out too due to problems with a 99 cobra convertible. No wonder american auto makers are going under. They suck.

Got a 2001 express 5.7. Yeah, at 47,000 it started eating caps & rotors about every 5,000 to 8,000 miles. I even replaced the distributor. It's a humidity problem, the whole assembly is made of plastic. When it won't start, I put a blow dryer on the distributor, and in ten minutes, starts right up. I haven't found a performance/marine version of this particular distributor yet. Any clues??
