I love the guy complaining about his bowtie delaminating.

 

Dude, if thats the only complaint you have about your truck I'd say your doing OK.

 

And since when has the TPMS made a noise when it was under by 1 psi?? I know my tires generally deflate to around 30PSI on a cold day, thats 2-4 PSI under the recommended pressure...and mine don't make noise, or even set a light or message on my DIC...so I have no idea what this guy is talking about.

 

I do however agree with the HVAC comment...the buttons do require you to take your eyes off the road....but I have never veered off the road while doing it.

I actually have to agree with a lot of what that guy posted...

 

 

- TPMS, I've had a few issues. I find it unnecessary.

- Well I don't HAVE a Chevy bowtie on mine, but my GMC emblem is just fine! lol

- Climate controls DO require eyes of the road, especially with the SLT dash, where they are way down just above the console.

- I think the sheet metal DOES appear thin (and there have been alot of comments made here regarding it) and the bumpers seem way "softer" than my '96.

- My drivers window STILL squeals after being "fixed"

 

 

... just sayin' :smash:

I can deal with all that, Mechanical issues are real problems.

 

Just remember, you could own a ford....90% of fords ever sold are still on the road you know....only 10% made it home. :sigh::lol:

 

Or a Toyota Tundra like my buddies, he bought it and about a week later went off road with it, at about 300km on the Odo....he blew the front diff...on a logging road, not even anything hairy. And its so lethargic....it pretty much has to be rolling at about 20-30km/h before you can make it get up and go...and there's no tuning available for it.

 

I can deal with a squeaky window and thin sheet metal/bumpers...just don't hit them.

 

The climate controls are a little dangerous though....I have the LTZ so its the upgraded dash like the SLT.

      None, I don't generally go off road either though.  Daily driver & weekend towing is all.

      Clean During the Day. Serious Light at Night. Sierra HD 40" PRO Kit

      By mandrautomotive · Posted

      Hey everyone, If you've been looking for a way to add serious lighting to your 2024–2026 GMC Sierra 2500HD or 3500HD without sacrificing the truck's clean factory look, I wanted to share one of our favorite setups. Our 40" PRO Light Bar Kit is designed specifically for the refreshed Sierra HD and mounts behind the grille for a built-in, OEM-style appearance. The kit is completely bolt-on, uses factory mounting points, and doesn't require any cutting or drilling. It's also designed not to interfere with the active grille shutters or radiator airflow. A few highlights:   Fits 2024–2026 GMC Sierra 2500HD & 3500HD Compatible with PRO, SLE, SLT, AT4, Denali, and Ultimate trims Curved 40" PRO LED light bar with advanced TIR optics Available in White + Amber DRL or Yellow + Amber DRL Complete bolt-on installation Lifetime warranty   We also put together a light output video so you can see how the PRO light bar performs in real-world nighttime conditions. It does a great job showing the beam pattern, width, and distance before you decide if it's the right setup for your truck.   Is anyone else running hidden grille lighting on their Sierra HD? We'd love to see your setup! If you have any questions about fitment, installation, or choosing between the white and yellow beam options, feel free to ask. We're always happy to help. __________________________ www.MandRonline.com https://www.instagram.com/mandrautomotive/ M&R LED Light kits - www.MandRonline.com | Burbank CA https://www.youtube.com/@MandRautomotive

      It is, It is the purpose. Just ask that everyone plays nice     On another note. The Terrain and the Equinox are fraternal twins. The one we have is spitting distance from 300K and yes, it has been problematic. Oil consumption is inexcusable. That said, nearly everything else fell into the "Routine Maintenance" bucket or expected failure due to age or accident. The 2015 Generation are very comfortable and they drive dreamy. The six speed is a rockstar save for the cheap failure prone manual automatic physical switch in the shifter. I called it quits after three.   The Ecotec 2.4 I-4 sans the GDI pump junk is nearly bulletproof. The hardest thing we experienced with this SUV was rear wheel alignment. The back axle is a starter kit. Toe bolts need to be installed as do extended range camber bolts. Then you have to find someone not new to the planet that has the skill and patients for the horrendous task of dialing it in. But once set, it is rock solid.    The new ones....yea, I'll pass. I have one CVT and it is enough. They could be a good transmission but someone would have to really care designing it.  Subaru seems to have it down fairly well.
