  1. You got a dome light? Or do you mean the two leds that burn a hole in the floor that don't light up crap let alone the cab. Asked regional after sales manager where is the traditional cab light? He went on to say that GM doesn't make one for the reg cab anymore. WTF! But then thanks to progress, the reg cab truck is doomed
  2. Dross73 I feel the same as you. My dealer set me up with a regional.guy and all I got from him was lip service. My salesman at the dealership was reclassified and no longer ther. On two seperate occasions I couldn't see the. General manager and vice president to aide my complaints or questions to. They both seem willing to help when I had the sales manager from their dodge division was availible and set me up with a instant meeting with both. I have since gone back to purchase new accessories on two occasions and they didn't even have the parts in stock. Summit white touch up paint is what I wanted. I was so pissed I went looking for the gm and he want around. Went looking for vice president and he's not around. Went to Chevy dealer two doors down and the parts guy says " I got only have one in stock. How much I say, he says $30. I said no thanks Ill get rusto for six. So now instead of looking for a gm and go I'm looking at a ford 3/4 ton superduty. I parked side by side and compared mine with the ford. It's sad but the ford is hands down better quality then the GM product. Today I went to install rear wheel house liners that I bought back in Feb. I removed the hub cap and written on the wheel in black marker is the word "bent"! All the flaws I find on this truck is from constantly washing it by hand and trying to add OEM accessories that don't work. Is how I find them. I don't know whats bent if anything. Somebody saw something to write it on there? As far as I'm concerned, GM can get bent. Maybe next time around we let them fail its the only way they might get it right
  3. Do a input vs output for a more accurate mpg instead of a calculated mpg based on a expensive vacuum gauge. That's how I do it. You may be surprised or depressed on your findings. It's a shame in this day and age to get this kind of fuel mileage. They can add all this new technology and make things smart or so they say but in the end we still only get 15.8 mpg (that's what I get) and that's depressing. I got better mileage with my 86 sierra with a 350 in it.
  4. Right now I get 15.8 on back roads and in 4wd. 16 on the highway.
  5. That's why I like the manual transfer case for that reason
