I tried to find some stuff on the internet, just wondering if there are any plans to redesign the Chevs and GMCS?

 

Thinking of purchasing a new truck in the next 3 months or should I waiti until next years models?

Thanks, I just found a few other articles, seems like there are just some minor changes which is fine by me! Can't wait to get into a GMT-900!

 

 

 

 

Well, it'll definitely be a step up from a Tacoma (no offense). I think Tacoma's are good trucks, may I ask why you're looking to upgrade?

The whole line will get a refresh some time in the future.

 

<a href="http://detnews.com/article/20100114/BIZ/1140419/GM-plans-multi-million-dollar-refresh-to-truck-lineup" target="_blank">http://detnews.com/article/20100114/BIZ/11...to-truck-lineup</a>

 

No definite time-line stated.

 

There have been official reports from GM that state it will be targeted for the 2013 model year.

 

As for the HD refresh, we have our own thread right here: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=109072

I took some heat on one of these threads for saying my dealer said next gen GMC will be way different than chevy in looks...some were vocal that all dealers know nothing...

 

Here you go another source:

 

First up, the next-gen GMC Sierra 1500 half-ton.

 

We're told by sources that the Sierra will look significantly more different from the Chevrolet Silverado than it does today.

Yeah it has been a awesome truck, you got alot for the price of these trucks but my lease is coming up soon, starting a family and with a few Labs I need the little extra room. Even though the box on the Crewcab GMT 900 is slightly shorter than my Tacoma its wider and deeper which will help for work. Plus when I heard the 6.2L was offered in a muscle truck!

Only thing you can always count on is bigger, bolder graphics and priced 4% higher.

 

And deletion of several standard features found on today's trucks. I have a feeling that the leather wrapped steering wheel is going to disappear as standard equipment from all LT trucks next year. Do not worry, the "steering wheel appearance" package will be available for a mere $ 350. It will include a heated, lether wrapped steering wheel with 35 different buttons on it.

 

And, GM is also hard at work on the optional "truck appearance package" which will be mandatory if you want your truck to look like a truck. Again, a mere $ 500 extra will give all the stickers and chromed shiny surfaces you need. Even if they start rusting 4 months later.

 

I can also see an all new "LTZ plus" version of 4X4 crew cab Z71, which stickers for only $ 59,600, and comes with a built-in lap top computer, and heated/cooled antelope leather seats and cupholders.

 

I only wish that what I said above was a joke, but this is the trend folks. Keep deleting standard equipment, adding all kinds of options, cheapening the basic truck and power train, substituting Chinese made substandard quality parts for former US made parts, and driving the sticker price with all options into LaLa land. Then, once that sticker climbs into the stratosphere, they will top off your GM card to $ 4,000 and come up with a $ 8,000 rebate to make you feel good about what a great deal you are getting on that fully loaded truck, which you can buy now for only $ 47k.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
