Recently, General Motors has been monitoring this forum more closely. We have an official GM customer service rep on the site, and just last week two gm-trucks.com members had their testimonials included in GMC The Magazine.

 

The idea for this thread is for us to post our testimonials (good/bad/neutral). I will make the editors aware of this thread, with the hopes that more of our members testimonials will be used in General Motors publications.

 

Please use this thread ONLY to post your testimonial. Keep them concise, and who knows, they just might make it into print!

Not only do I love my 2 current gm vehicles (silverado and camaro) but so does my 3 yr old son. They do everything we could possible need or want to do at this time.

 

The 6.2L Engine is by far the best engine out there.

I would LOVE to write a testimonial!! My '12 Chevy Tahoe is my first Chevy. Let me tell you a little story. I traded in my '06 Tundra on an '11 Toyota 4Runner Trail Edition. I owned it for 6 months, and hated it! It was so uncomfortable!! For a V6 with an "econo" mode, it got abysmal gas mileage. It was too small for me. I remember thinking that I didn't want to drive it the 30 mins. I had to drive to go to work, and I said it had to go!! I also had been planning on moving across the country, and there was NO way I could have driven that 4Runner! I drove by a Chevy dealer on my way to work, so I thought I would drop in. I went in on a Fri. night, after work. I told the sale man what I wanted. He said he would call me on Sat. am. He did, I went to the the dealership (Terryville Chevy, in Terryville, CT. My salesman was Shawn Stakeweitz.) and drove home in my dream truck!! I LOVE my '12 Tahoe. It is a 4x4 LT, with the Luxury package. This truck is an absolute pleasure to drive!! It was incredible to drive across the country from CT. to WA., and I was towing an 6x12 trailer, which the Tahoe towed with aplomb!! The Onstar was an invaluable tool for me and my dog as I drove across the country. I can not say enough wonderful things about my buying & ownership experience of my Tahoe!! Yes, I would buy another Tahoe in a heart beat!! Thank you Chevy for making such an incredible truck!!

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I know when I was looking around last year to see if someone handled Amsoil gear oil to buy at the retail level which of course means full price. I found an independent shop that works a lot on GM/Duramax pickups and they did not bring in the 75W-85 as they just stuck to the 75W-90 for the front and rear as a standard practice for the HD trucks which makes sense anyway for the higher hp/torque diesel and pulling heavy loads in four wheel drive. I haven't changed my diff oils yet but still plan on using the 75W-85 for the front diff as I highly doubt I will be beating on the truck and figured for my use type the bit thinner oil would be to my benefit for the winter for that slightly less drag. Very different weather here all winter vs northern Washington near the coast, that's for sure.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Ok that confirms the extra quart theme they are still going with which must mean they have noted some initial use more so then some engines and probably the bigger factor in all of this probably isn't the engine so much as its the insane distance or OLM that lulls a lot of the driving public into driving their new vehicle off the lot and not even doing one short interval oil change because the manufacturer doesn't say different and if the dealer follows that logic as well. Selling the rarely needing to be serviced concept seems to go over well with the public that wants to get away with as little as possible for dollars spent on the vehicles maintenance and I bet there are 3.0 engines just like other vehicles out there that never have their oil checked by the owner which goes back to why they probably felt the need to add that extra quart to avoid a costly theme.    Speaking of cutting filters open, it was probably over two years ago now that a youtuber who buys vehicles to do longer term reviews and pulls a fifth wheel through the mountains of Colorado on summer trips and that becomes part of the testing. Anyway he had a GM HD with the 6.6 gas and a Ford 250 with the 7.3 gas at the same time and of no surprise the Ford had more power etc but somewhere along the way in the few thousand miles he put on the truck, he changed the oil and was seeing glitter and cut open the filter and yeah, things were not looking spectacular. The truck about that time or soon after seemed down on power compared to what it had been and then threw some engine code, I expect the cam/lifters were failing and so he brought the truck back to the dealer and made some deal to get out of it as he knew it would sit for months waiting on a new engine as they were so backlogged at the time. He kept the GM for some time after that using it exclusively until he sold it after buying his next vehicle to do a review on. Definitely the filter can tell a story when things are starting to go sideways, but it would be a sickening feeling to cut it open and be faced with an ugly mess like that and be running a magnet through the pleats and the oil on the dirty side of the filter and see all the fines sticking to the magnet.    The dealer may have some ideas based on experience as to where that coolant smell is coming from, I would imagine if they can't find it but its smelling they would put dye in it to they could give it a run cycle and use the black light to see where it pops up, if its a hose connection, water pump, rad or even a head gasket etc.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By davester · Posted

      charm.li (website) has the vehicle-specific diagnostic procedure for that code, you can use to find what the cause of it is.
