HA! And all you have to do is I agree... It has been my experience in the past that you can't make GM or the dealer do anything they are not willing to do; perhaps you can try to persuade and encourage them to an extent. I've heard stories about the local GM dealer being sued by customers for various things, and winning the lawsuit. But that's a long and stressful road, and you may not always come out ahead. I've also learned that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Threatening and cursing the dealer is not the best way get issues resolved, most of the time. That said, I think GM tries a little harder to keep their customers happy nowadays than in the past... Just an observation from past experience (good and bad).

I'm an older guy, and have always bought GM vehicles, and nothing else. Never owned another brand. My dad worked for GM and retired after more than 35 years of service. He'd turn over in his grave if he knew I bought something other than GM. That said, it has been my experience in the past that GM will not fix or repair anything under warranty until it breaks completely. The only exception is if it a recall or they (the GM dealer) get a service bulletin about a particular problem or possible problem; otherwise, it is usually "normal operation". But I still keep buying GM products, for better or worse... maybe the good outweighs the bad? Or, maybe it is just respect for my late dad, I'm not sure.

The bed on my new 2018 Silverado Crew Cab seems to be aligned correctly with the cab on the driver's side, but sets inward a bit on the passenger side about 1/2" like you mentioned. But that doesn't bother me as much as the misaligned driver's side door. But I do get 20+ mpg with the 5.3, and sometimes up to 24 mpg. I wish the body panels were aligned as well as it runs, drives and rides... Glen
