Hey, just ask yourself what country the profit from the sale of any good went to; then you'll know if the company that sold that good is American or not.

 

True to some extent. But not really a good indicator. Production costs, labor, assembly plants, shipping, and revenue for dealerships all generate US dollars and stay in the US to keep working families working. Toyota's overall profit percentage per vehicle is tiny compared to these costs. Sure, some profits go to the "homeland", but it's a much more complicated picture than you present.

 

If your GM truck is built in Mexico or Canada does that make it more American simply because GM (a worldwide auto producer) gets the profit?

Be honest you joined to create problems and down everything realted to GM. With a name like NoMoreGM4ME why you even here? To do what I just said is why.

 

 

Nope, if you like GM, great....more power to you. I sure as he** am not going to try to change your mind. I couldn't care less. I personally will likely never buy another one again....does that bother you?

 

 

No it doesnt bother me but what does bother me is you are not going to use this forum to help people as to what there are designed to do, you are just here to bash GM. Move on troll.

 

 

Become an admin, then you can ban me. Until then, quit your crying.

 

 

If I were an admin, you already would be gone.

 

Now, down to the "nitty gritty".. You are here for only one reason and that is to bash GM..

 

Amazing, but you probably do not even have a drivers license. You sit behind a keyboard and spew your garbage.

 

Well, I guess the constitution gives you that right. BTW, when you are old enough (being physically or Mentally), try standing up for others rights and you will see how silly you really are.... ;)

Seems to me, the only bashing being done here is you bashing me...based mostly on my screen name. You are the one all butthurt based on MY OPINION of GM's products.

You seem surprised that people are upset so let's lay it all out so you might be able to grasp this:

 

You sign up here with a screen name you knew would cause trouble, all you do is bash GM while only giving the slightest description to the issues your truck has and you haven't bothered to ask for help from anyone on the issues you have. You came here to cause trouble and nothing more. Maybe you should just buy that Ford or Dodge (sorry... I mean Ram, I guess they're just trying to trick people by distancing themselves from Chrysler) so you can go troll their forums when you discover issues on those rigs too.

How can a minivan buying experience stir up so much? I think I like the new dash a little better than our 2005 Sienna. Is it still soft vinyl?

 

Edit: anyone that questions the utility of a mvan with a family has never had both at once. We go to Christmas two hours away for a day or two, with gifts/food, plus our golden *in her crate at the rear*... and aren't cramped. You would need a Suburban to get more room, but about 60% the mpg and much higher up-front cost. As for other brands, I've owned Toyota and Dodge mvans, and know a bunch with Hondas. No comparison between the Honda/Toyota options and the Dodge... but we prefer the Toyota van. It's taken a beating from the family, that's for sure.

Good idea on the mats. I like the soft dash design in the older cars, but I think they've all moved to the hard plastic. The Tundra dash is actually painted plastic (rather than body-through color).

I spelled out the issues I had with my truck, what more do you want? You whine because of my screen name, then you ask me to go into more detail about the issues I had with my truck? Why would I ask for help about issues with a truck I no longer own? It is someone else's problem now,

 

May I make a suggestion? If you have such a problem with me because of my screen name, why don't you just ignore me?

I have no idea why it flips the photos upside down when posting from my phone. It also puts a (null) at the bottom. Damn technology

You using Tapatalk Ryan? If so check your signature settings for the null thing. Can't help you with the pics, I have an iPhone as well and it doesn't do that.

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
