As for the step bars, friend did just that, bought some cheap ones and we are in Michigan and they turned to rust in less than a year. In 3 yrs he had to replace one of them because they rusted out from the inside even though he kept after them cleaning and polishing etc. Had to drive 300 miles (to Chicago area) to find a reg cab wt, he ordered one and dealer never got it and with winter approaching (plow truck) he needed fo find one ASAP. Furd dealer found him one but he choose to drive to get a GMC. Just what you can expect with cheap stuff, LOW quality.

Have you updated the phone version? I had that issue when I first got truck and updating the phone fixed that.

No, that's Dexron HP. You need Dexron VI spec. LV stands for "Low Viscosity" Dexron VI - 4sp, 6sp and Transfer Case Dexron LV - 8-sp (Low Viscosity) Dexron ULV - 10-sp (Ultra Low Viscosity)

For every make and model there is, there are owners who will say the same thing, never again. Sometimes the grass is not any greener on the other side of the fence. Never really had a bad GM vehicle in the last 56+ yrs......................

Trouble is that anything on the net is subject to skepticism. More fake news than real news. Also a possible reason could be to spur panic buying to line pockets? Like the Covid toilet paper fiasco. Friend says he now has a supply for life after that. Also the 2000 scare where people were buying generators because they were predicating power plants were going to go down. Lots of people with generators they have no use for now. LOL

Its the OEM dealer, what do you expect? Discount Prices? That's almost exactly what I paid on my 2021 Sierra Denali. Other shops were somewhat cheaper, those that would put estimate in writing. But they did not leave a sense of competence in my view and did not use GM parts, whatever was locally available at parts store. Did not like that feeling so I paid the GM price, which included a loaner for the day that other shops would not. btw - Mine rotors were all corroded from road salt and I was 3 months past the bumper-bumper warranty so they could not get it covered by warranty.

Seats are a personal choice when it comes to whats comfortable or not. Seats are like clothes, some just fit better that others. Its like when I was looking for a new recliner for home, I must have sat in over a dozen in 3 different stores and several brands before I found the one the was the most comfortable to me and bought it.

You have better chances of picking winning lottery numbers than to know for sure when your vehicle will ship. When you combine the QC issues with geographical delivery of vehicles (at the lowest possible cost so they need to aggregate deliveries - and they don't not use a first in first out methodology), this can be the most frustrating part of the whole journey. There is no transparency to actual data. Your vehicle may ship quickly, it may not. It will likely take longer the more rural you are and the lower the volume of cars your dealer sells.

May 18th is the target production week (TPW) it is scheduled for production, not a individual day.

I can't believe a dealer person would BS me. I never got anything about the cover warranty with the purchase. I just looked in the truck and nothing there, unless they will handle it for the customer.

GM Accessory Tro-fold by REV. Ordered it with the truck so it would be covered by the Bumper to Bumper warranty and also because I have had it on my last 2 trucks (2017 & 2021) and 100% satisfied with looks and functionality. It has survived harsh Michigan winters and always looks new. With the GM ones, if dealer installs at time of sale, covered by B-B warranty, if you install, not covered by GM but the cover maker (REV) warranty applies. Pic of cover in da 2024...
