You are correct. The Titan Is designed in CA, engineered in MI, the engine is assembled in TN, and final assembly is MO.

 

It's 100% American.

 

Yes, my Sierra is Mexican.

I highly highly doubt that it is 100% American.... Nothing is 100% anything

Well, I'm sitting with a celebratory drink as I write this. I am happy to say that I received an offer letter from GM today, It is literally everything I had asked for. They are buying my 2015 Chevy Silverado LT back through a trade assist. Not going to go into all of the details, But I will have my 2017 Sierra Denali 6.2l V8 in 10-12 days max. I have to do some paperwork and have it notarized and then it back as does the dealer. Then GM has to process it and we get out close date.

 

 

I can't believe the fight is finally over

Congratulations Jesse, looking forward to comments on your new truck. Hopefully, they will be positive. Your story is a modern update of "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington" for sure. The little guy can prevail if he has the Perservence. You know, while driving home yesterday from voting I felt for the first time a shake in my truck. I immediately thought, "oh no, my truck is coming down with the dreaded Chevy Shake"! Then, after calming down and analyzing the situation, I realized it was actually me shaking, caused by my thinking about the prospect of the Hildabeast becoming POTUS! Hoping that it will go away in ten days but afraid I'm going to have to endure it for four long years :( Anyway, good luck with your new truck :) !

Only about 10% of total cost is in final assembly. And, F/A requires the least skill of just about any task along the manufacturing process as most of form/fit/function is computerized and performed by robotics. Hence, the reason it's so easy to relocate it offshore or out of country such as Mexico.

Thanks SB, I hope its positive too. I'll tell ya, its definitely not an easy fight, but if you stick to your guns and wait it out, you can do it. It also doesn't hurt to send a scathing email to the CEO, VP of Consumer Experience, President of North America, and the President of the company :crackup:

Great to hear Jesse. Been a long road. I was offered a trade assistance option and declined due to not only the sour taste in my mouth over the truck; but the way Chevrolet chose to handle it. Trust me, Chrysler is worse than Chevrolet when it comes to warranty participation; but I expect that from them. Chevy used to be one of the best when it came to standing behind their product. Not the case nowadays.

I couldn't get them to give me a buy out, but I'd say that my deal is pretty damn good

Good job, hopefully new one is better!! Although if they are not sure what is problem, doubt it's fixed.

 

I have 2016 for the first 9445 miles it was good, except for a decel vibe I had due to pinion angle from lowering the truck but was livable.

 

Well now I have the full blown vibration on my truck, local dealer won't do anything since its lowered. I will need to be sorting that out on my own, hopefully can fix it.

 

Had driveshaft out to be trued and balanced no issues there. This afternoon will remove driveshaft and drive truck as FWD and see what happens.

    • Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart? 
    • Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.
    • Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue. 
    • I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
    • Just wanted to get a idea of how many of you still have problems with your radio cutting out during the first few minutes of driving, my 2024 GMC Sierra still does this after a little over 2 years of complaining to my dealer about it, and OTA updates no longer complete, the check for updates in settings is greyed out for the second time while trying to install a update, my dealer took about a week to play around with it the first time this happened, and somehow got the check for updates to work, even though it would always show system is up to date when I knew it wasn't, now again 1 month later its greyed out again when the OTA update N25-F163BU tried to install, which ironically is the update to help with reliability of future updates.
