Although I completely disagree with adjuster's reasoning for disapproving the claim, I do not believe that this problem is a GM issue. For that type of damage, I'd think your friend was hot dogging it along that dirt road and when he hit that "bump" the damage resulted. Way too fast for that dirt road. I owned a Colorado that had a cap on it. We pulled it to Alaska at least 4 times with overload springs and way over it's posted GVW without ever having a problem. Sorry, but if you must run outside a vehicle's limits, you need to make appropriate adjustments to your driving habits. I don't think this individual did that.
