Mustang

Yes, I would test a new one and pay particular attention to the throttle when cold, as well as rear end noises starting off or coming to a stop. If the truck didn’t have those issues, it would have been perfect. I suspect what my truck did is common.

I can’t hear any audio.

I decided to downsize back to a car because of finance changes due to the pandemic and because I couldn’t fall in love with a vehicle that the dealer refused to care for. If I were to buy another truck I would probably lean towards another Chevy, but I would pay a lot more attention to how it runs cold and listen for clunking in the rear end. I do hope they restrain themselves and offer basic trim for people who use trucks as trucks. I’m not your typical forum “I sold my truck because it’s sucks” guy. The Silverado can be the best truck on the road and I think people who don’t have the problems mine had have the best trucks that you can buy for the money in the USA. Cheers guys. I will be lurking and watching how the Silverado develops. When I recover from the financial shock of the pandemic I hope to have the cash to buy another Silverado.

The body lines look great in that color, even under a cloudy sky.

Because of the pandemic?

I had an F150 with those plastic fender surrounds and all I can say is keep them dripping with armor all.

True, but we’re talking about a window versus the engine and drivetrain not working correctly. I’ll take the window over this crap.

Yeah there’s no question the Tacoma is the benchmark for reliability and value. But they’re expensive for what they are, and they’re very limited on towing larger items. When I test drove the latest gen about a year ago I was very disappointed how distant and sluggish the drivetrain was. It just felt really awkward and underpowered. But the look great and last forever. Many appreciate those and love their trucks.

My slip yoke or rear end clunk when I come to a stop was officially deemed “normal” today at the dealership. They resisted so hard that they even handed me a TSB written for idiots who don’t know rear wheel drive drivetrains can make some clunking going into gear. That’s not my problem and I was not happy. The issue of the engine cutting out when cold will have to be dealt with separately. I don’t own cars long, so whatever, but I wish I could love this truck. I just don’t. It has significant drivetrain problems and GM seems to be perfectly fine with that. Sad. I may just break down and finally buy an ugly 4Runner.

DON’T MELT LITTLE BUDDY!!!!

Looks good in red. I like it.

Must be the photo. Looks like the big cab and the big bed.

Is that the longest wheelbase?

It’s easier for most to do work like this at home on the weekend than it is to deal with the dealer.
