If you are talking about regular insurance like everyone gets then no way will the cover a mechanical failure unless it was the result of a collision with another vehicle or other common road hazzard.
Simple mechanical failure may be covered under a warrantee or extended service plan, if he bought one when he bought the truck. Otherwise, break it, you buy it. Don't feel bad, I broke my front outter u-joint on my 4x4 just the other day plowing snow. It happens.

Auto insurance unfortunately is an insurance against theft, accident, property damage and medical issues arising from an accident.
Factory warranty, Extended warranty, Tire road hazard warranty are items that insure your car against breakdown and mechanical repairs.
Have him check to see if factory warranty might cover this...If not, it is out of pocket...

No. That is a warranty issue with the manufacturer. It is not an insurance issue. Next time, advise your bro to check the repair rate on Chevy's (awful) before buying one.

NO you would need extended WARRANTY type to be covered.
Good Luck.
P.S. But if the damage was caused by an accident (like a tree stump) then it would be covered.

No. That's a mechanical problem, and that's not what auto insurance is intended for.

insurance only covers an incident if some outside force causes you to have that type failure. they can't guarantee the poor quality of a domestic auto. tell him to get it fixed and buy a Toyota.
