    Helms manuals are a complete service manual set in the respect that a dealer would use it in troubleshooting and repair. You are not lacking in any regard. They are leaps and bounds above any Chilton or Haynes manual and worth the coin

    Agreed, that is why I purchased my WT versus higher end model even though I could afford it. The standard features on my WT with convenience package would be consider a high optioned truck compared to 20 plus years ago. The higher end trim and option packages are niceties and not necessities plus it is less crap to have and break.

    Next time you do a fill-up, you may want to do a manual calculation and not trust the DIC reading. Many to include myself, have noticed the DIC MPG reporting to overstate by about 1 MPG higher than what it actually manually calculates out to.

    I got the 1WT and 4.3 V6 also. It does not show when it is in V4 mode on these base clusters.

    Since you went to pick it up, what were the dealers findings in relation to your claim?

    That issue is any truck brand and freezing rain accumulation in that area. The only thing I miss from my Tundra was the cold weather package on that truck had a windshield with a heating element on the lower portion where the wiper blades met, to help with wipers being unstuck until full heated defrost kicked in.

    Looking like a "geezer" because the DRL's are on, seriously? It is not the1980's anymore and there is probably a few million vehicles of various makes and models with active DRL's on the road. It's common enough to see on the roads that if anybody is really thinking of the stigma of a "geezer" behind the wheel, they really need to grow up and get with the times.

    Just me, but I would make sure they just scab off the part they need off that new harness rather than them change out the whole harness. You run the risk of them inducing more problems if they decide to change out your whole harness rather than just swap out the sensor.

    Generally means what is holding up a vehicle from being built from either parts shortages or changes to previously published option availability when an order is placed.

    Found this little gem from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Basically it sums up DRL's as "not statistically significant" in reducing accidents. Sorta surprises me. http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Pubs/811029.pdf

    Yup! It surprises me the amount of people that can not make the separation between the two. I have seen it drive people into bankruptcy because when they stop paying and the vehicle is repo'd and sold at auction for pennies on the dollar, the bank holding the note then goes back after the borrower for the difference between payoff with added repo fees and legal fees. Many times in the end, it way more than if just had kept paying the original note amount.

    Let me give you a bit of advice of a common mistake people make when they start having vehicle problem and they contemplate or actually stop making payment on the note, DO NOT DO IT!. Even if your vehicle note is through GM financial, your note and warranty issues are two different worlds and stopping payment on your note thinking it will leverage a result for your vehicle warranty issues is misguided. All it will do is ruin your credit. Until you either "Lemon Law" it or find some other civil solution with GM on your vehicle, you have to keep your loan current on payments.

    Do not have a lemon law process in your state?

    The reception issue is not some secret squirrel conspiracy by GM to make people buy into premium service. The simple fact is they have either a bad design or a quality lapse issue with one of their suppliers.

    I have a feeling that unless this issue can be fixed for cheap on the RF antenna path side, GM is not going to deal with the expense of changing radio control heads out to fix this issue.
