Not even close to the same thing. That would be negligence on your part. I wasn't negligent. This truck isn't driven hard. I maintain it, and spend the extra money to give it higher quality parts. This truck has less than 100 miles towing, so it's not like it would fall under the extreme category in the owner's manual for the service interval. And, no, a pulley hadn't failed. I checked. If it had, I wouldn't have said a damn thing about the GM's failings with the belt. Going back 6 to 7 years ago, one of the initial complaints about these trucks right off the showroom floor was about the belt squeal and the piss poor response GM had for it. How about misaligned pulleys from the factory? Did you consider that? Probably not, because being a keyboard commando gets you so much more internet cred. You sound like a junior enlisted sailor that took a high interest loan from a bad faith dealer to that said they'd get you a Corvette even though your only an E-1. Yep, I went there.

I'm keeping this simple and letting the pics do the talking for me. 2020 Silverado Trail Boss LT with 6.2. At about 97,500 miles on the odometer the serpentine belt was squeaking. Other than at initial purchase, the belt was been quiet. At purchase I had a "warranty repair" done where the dealer applied some belt dressing to quiet it down. At this point, even though the owner's manual says to place the serpentine belt at 150,000, I decided i was going to do it at 100,000. When I replaced my spark plugs and wires at 97,500 I also sprayed at stop squeal on the belt. It worked. At that time I noticed fraying on the belt edges. Yesterday I crossed 100,000 miles on the truck, so today I decided to replace both belts. The ac belt was flawless and didn't need replacing, but I figured I'd do both at the same time. In the first picture you'll see the old belt on the left and the new belt on the right. Both are OEM, so this is an apples too apples comparison. I did find fibers from the serpentine belt inside the alternator vent holes at the top. I also replaced the idler pulley. There was a mess of fibers twisted around the bolt on the backside of the pulley.

Imo, this is a common issue with all GM power folding mirrors. My wife's 2017 Traverse does it, too. The problem is lack of use. What i have her do when I notice the mirror won't fold (i only drive the car when it needs servicing) is sit in the drivers and listen to my commands to press the fold/unfold buttons. When she does that I'm pushing or pulling on the mirror to help out break free and get moving again. As long as you're using it often it'll continue to work. Every now and then I'll hit it with a little WD-40 to try to keep it lubricated. However, as I said earlier, I only drive the vehicle when it need servicing/repairs. It's her daily driver. I have a Silverado I'd rather be in.

2. www.rockauto.com 4. Iirc, you only need to service the differentials if you have a leak. There is no service interval listed in the manual. 5. Owners manual, which I access through the MyChevrolet app.

Absolutely! He's the dad of my son's best friend. I help out with his son when he's swamped at work, picking him up after school, taking him to church, etc.

Update: The part is available. I will have it next week. My local dealer initially quoted me $315.77 plus tax. I thanked them and walked away. I have a friend that is an estimator at a collision body shop. He was able to get it for $195 plus tax. Thank you very much for the help.

Thank you very much @newdude. Hopefully the part is available. You've given me hope today. Otherwise, I'm looking at ordering some 3M Scotch-Weld Acrylic Adhesive DP9810NS or Permabond TA4611 to glue the pieces back together. The 1.5 ounces those options are cost $60 each. I guess that means GM's price for that tube isn't that bad (even if it is theft).

I've tried that before, and never got a reply. GM has taught me that I can only count on myself to fix my vehicles. I wish GM would build better quality products. Vehicles are the 2nd most expensive item most people buy in their lifetime.

This afternoon I jumped into my truck and started to leave the driveway when I started to hear a rattling sound. I immediately stopped and looked under the hood and immediately noticed the PCV clean air hose that runs from the passenger side of the engine to the air intake tube was broken off and somehow in the radiator shroud. I then looked at where the hose should've been connected to the air intake tube and noticed the nipple the hose connected to was broken off. Upon removing the hose from the radiator shroud I noticed the nipple was still in the hose. Being in a rush, I did the quickest and most ghetto thing I could do to reconnect the parts and get going again. I used duct tape. As soon as I got back into the truck and started driving again, I called the local Chevy dealer and was informed because the part was not on the truck from the factory they could not help me. As soon as I got back home I jumped on the internet and started searching. Here's where I need help. Attached is a pic of the GM Performance CAI, part number 84789794. If you look towards the upper right corner you'll see what looks like a little "catch can" with a nipple on the top of it. That little can appears to be replaceable as there is a metal band connecting that can onto the side of the main air intake tube. However, the GM Performance CAI is discontinued. I also haven't been able to find a parts list for the GM Performance CAI. Can anybody help me find a replacement for this little can? A part number, part name to help find a suitable aftermarket replacement, etc so I can fix this is all I need. Thank you for your time. For the record, I believe age and mileage may have been factors in this part breaking. I cannot think of any other reason why this would break. Nobody has been under the hood since 97,500 miles when I did the oil change and replaced the spark plugs and wires. I replaced the plugs and wires through the wheel wells, so nobody was on the top of the engine on the passenger side. The GM Performance CAI was the first mod I installed on my truck. I received it in July 2020 before I actually received the truck. As soon as the truck was in my driveway I ripped out the stock air box and installed this. That was 98,6XX miles ago. You can find additional views of the GMPP CAI and the part I'm talking about in this thread: Full Throttle Review: Chevrolet Performance Intake & Exhaust Installed! | GM-Trucks.com

Yes, knowing the year of the vehicle and the age of the battery would help. I did some research when I replaced the OE battery in my 2020 Silverado a few months ago. It was showing the classic signs of dying that the lead acid batteries would show, Andhra fortunately I have one of those NOCO jump packs in my truck at all times. Apparently, the best battery in our sizes is made by ACDelco. However, our trucks are equipped with a silver label battery. I went with the gold label ACDelco battery because it provides higher CCA, etc. If you have to replace the battery, this is the route I recommend going. Btw, I got the battery from Rock Auto.

Wrong subforum. You might have better luck in the correct subforum.

Are you sure it wasn't broken by accident? No issues with mine, and I've had 3 kids all is that same seatbelt in my truck. My youngest is currently 8. Maybe you have a safety defect that might be covered under warranty?

@Luckyfd1which transmission do you have in your truck? There were 3 available that year.

Those tires would be called "Metric 35s." Since you like Rough Country, look into their catalog. They have a speedo calibration device. Plug it into your computer, run the install wizard, tell it your OE tire size and then your new tire size, and it'll write the code. You then take it to your truck, remove 1 plug under the drivers side dash, plug the RC wire harness into that port, insert plug you just remove into the RC harness, and then tuck the rest of the wires away. The entire process should take you less than an hour. I've been running the RC speedometer calibration device for over 2 years. No problems, yet (knock on wood).

That's not the federal government fiscal policy. That's a government agency policy. The federal government policy is to spend, spend, spend, even when they'd don't have the money.

Except in Utah, where the Vegas tag line is "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas,.... except STDs. That ****** will haunt you for life."

Yes. Don't lift your rear seat up. Otherwise, make sure you pull the buckle up and through when you lower your seat after going under it.

It's available now for $3,000

I appreciate your honesty, but there is a difference between honesty and an opinion. It would've been nice if the title had solely been informational, as opposed to toxic. I am in that group of model years the NHTSA is now looking into. I'm glad they are. And, if I'm adversely affected, it is what it is. I was already planning to prepare for the worst at 100,000+ miles. My wife heard me watching the video and asked what I would do if my engine failed (again, ie, repeat of 2007 Tahoe engine failure caused by DOD) at 96,000 miles and 6 months out of warranty). My response was simple: Rebuild it stronger (deleted and cammed) and supercharged. I'm keep the truck, even though I paid for it with my "imaginary" money. It's cheaper to repair it than to replace it. I believe in falling forward. When you fall, it sucks. But, get yourself up and in a position where you benefit from it. Today, (to paraphrase poet Robert Frost) I choose to take the road less traveled. Doing as the majority does, pissing and whining, hasn't benefitted me ever. Sorry a simple opinion from a simple man struck a sour note with you. It's just a shame that a comment that didn't tear anybody down, nor lay blame or insult, cause such a tirade of a post. Have a good evening, sir. I said what needed to be said in my original post. Now I'm done. Any reply from you will fall on deaf ears.

I love my 6.2

Somebody hasn't been using that feature regularly. It's a common issue with all vehicles that have this feature. My wife's 2017 Chevrolet Traverse has the same problem, but in the passenger side. Close the door, too down the window. Press the button to fold mirrors. Reach out the window and assist it by pulling towards you. When you break it free it'll go on its own. Fold and unfold the mirrors several times to help get the mechanism loose enough to work on its own. Use the feature every time you park the vehicle to keep it functioning properly.

I buy 5. I replaced the donut under the bed with a full size and matching OE wheel. 285/75R18 fits in the stock spare tire area. I also run a 5 tire rotation every 5k miles. The thought processs here is something you would've benefited from: If one of the tires becomes damaged, I'm able to swap that tire with the spare and continue with a 4 tire rotation until it's time to replace all tires. All tires would be same age and wear, as well as the obvious same size and make and model. Why nobody builds vehicles with full size spares is mind boggling to me. It's common sense, imo.

Yes, it'll buff right out. Truck has been in the shop for 2 weeks already. I'm being told I'll get it back Friday. I was at my son's high school to pick him up. I passed a 2025 Mazda CX-5 that was parallel parked and then turned in front of them to parallel park. After I made that turn to park they moved forward and hit me. I was doing 7 mph according to my dash cam. Ripped off her front bumper on the drivers side, broken drivers headlight lens, and dented fender. My truck fared much better. Dents and scratches from rear door to rear bumper corner. The Air Designs fender flare chipped, but that's about it. $4,200 for repairs. And, yes, she's disputing. She's trying to claim i turned too early and caused the accident. Insurance will fight over it. My insurance already decided I'm not at fault. I have comp and rental, so I'm good there. When the truck went into the body shop I was taken to Enterprise for a rental. My insurance authorized a large SUV. They tried to put me in a Jeep Wagoner L, but it smelled like smoke. I asked them to clean it, knowing it was futile. While they were cleaning the Jeep a customer returned a 2025 Sierra SLT. I asked if they could give me that instead. They said yes. Once it was cleaned i was on my way. The obvious: The dash and infotainment are very different. There's some good and bad. • I wish there were more options for customizing the DIC layout. I decided to stay with the default layout, but don't like the speedometer and tachometer are opposites what my 2020 is. • Lane keep assist is more likely to cause crashes than avoid them. Due to growth in the area, there's a lot of construction. I-10 is being expanded from 2 lanes each way to 3. Plus, the 2 main roads I must drive to/from home are being widened. A new freeway on/ramp will soon start construction, too. All the orange barrels deviating from the painted road markings are an issue. The truck wants to follow the paint. First time it happened I had a firm hold of the steering wheel and was able to counter the move the truck made in order to avoid crashing into barrels. Thankfully the truck follows the driver's input over it's own electronics. • Pedestrian alert: Other than illuminating an orange person in the DIC, I have no idea what this does. I just find it annoying. • Infotainment: I'm now in love with Android Auto. I've tried over the years to get it to work on my truck via a dongle, but failed. I decided to say screw it and pursue adding factory navigation, which i did. I also added wireless charging. With the rental I'm connected via cable for satellite radio (which i listen to 90% of the time in my truck) but connected via Bluetooth for Android Auto. I now want wireless Android Auto in my truck. Looks like I'll be sending WAMS some money. • Today it rained, and I had to return my son's suit rental to Men's Wearhouse. The tires on this truck from the factory are the worst I've ever experienced. I was definitely missing my Duratracs. The Sierra felt like a sled on an icy hill in the rain. I didn't trust it all. I resorted to 4WD to maintain control. I have experience in snow, ice, and I even have a CDL. I've lived in Salt Lake City, Chicago, Philadelphia, just too name a few snowy places. Worst tires ever, and this was just rain. • I almost forgot to mention the climate controls. They're too far down, which makes them away too. It seems like the layout of the infotainment screen isn't as high as in my 2020. This Sierra is a 6 seater, whereas my Trail Boss has a full center console. Maybe this is the reason for difference? The Trail Boss doesn't have any buttons under the row of buttons that includes hazards, auto start/stop, etc. GMC has the climate control buttons under that row of switches. They are so low that I'm pretty sure a center console would cover them up. I'm Bain this on their location in relation to my knees. Wth has GMC thinking? I do miss my truck, and will be happy to have it back. I'm glad I was able to be put in a vehicle that's familiar to me, but I wouldn't buy this trim for myself. I definitely need something more rugged like a Trail Boss or AT4 at thy minimum. However, my life status is stating to change and I don't think is get as large of a vehicle in the future. My oldest is working on his driver's license and will be driving next summer (Florida requires 1 year learners permit before eligible to get a license). My younger kids won't be too far behind. I'll probably go with a Colorado ZR2 Bison for my next vehicle.

Over 90k on my odometer. No belt replacement needed so far.
