Well I do have some good news. Talked to my service writer and he said the shop will cover the cost of the RF balance even though it's out of warranty because they had damaged my truck last time it was there (they pulled dent and painted it which is one of the reasons it went back to the shop). I have a 900 mile round trip this weekend so we'll definitely find out if it solved anything (my bet is no)

that would be my guess

You must have faith in the dealer! They know how to fix everything!

I have faith in they are willing to help but not necessarily resolve my issue.

 

On a side note Ram 1500 trucks are 0% for 72 months if anyone is wondering. Got an email earlier about it lol

So is Ford..

Saw that but I got looking at their interior on the f250s and maybe it's just me but it's more rugged looking not luxury feeling compared to my High Country. I'm sure I would adjust it just doesn't look comfortable to me like the Rams or Silverados do IMHO

If I was going to leave GM, it would definitely be for a Ford or Toyota. I wouldn't touch a Fiat with a 10 foot pole. :nono:

Did you look at a King Ranch? I actually really like the interior in them.

Damn. I've seen them for mid $50K in my area. Local dealer was offering $14K off on diesel Lariat/KR/Platinum SD's a few months ago.

I don't think he even tried to budge them on price honestly. At my local Ford dealer I just checked and they have the same truck he just got with their "VIP pricing" at 57k before taxes and tags.

 

Anyone know if these places actually honor these special pricings or their sale price they put on their website? Or do you have to qualify for these ridiculous requirements and such?

Ok so after i dropped it off for visit #3 cust care called me and said that a district rep would contact the dealer about the non All Terrain SRAs and if they will put real AT tires on my truck. Funny thing the loaner 6 banger 4x4 DC with the 18" tire upgrade has Bridgestone Duler HTs lol a tire I would not mind.....

not a chance, I mean that to the part about him saying it wouldn't fix anything

interesting, but I'd rather have 7k off, the financing charges for my credit wouldn't equate to the 7k with GM, even though I hate GM right now, and in all likelihood wound't get another, especially since I am suing them, 7k incentives is more enticing

Ford has issues with their cylinders and paint, I fundamentally don't like toyota, so that leaves GM & Ram, the new '16 nissans are too new for my liking so I wouldn't touch one for at least a few years.

A lot of them add in all rebates available (even ones you might not qualify for) to get a nice low price to get you in the showroom. Once there you'll find out that it's going to be a lot higher. Obviously they could sell the truck at that price and still make $$$ (or they wouldn't list it), so if you pushed them hard enough and/or they're hungry enough, they could do it.

And I wouldn't touch another vibrating GM product with a 20ft poll

    • I'd change the fluid and start there.   198F is nothing for the 8L90.  They typically operate 180-200F stock.  
    • Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.
    • Atlas won.   I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged.   Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed.   Made my day.   Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again.  
    • Your truck lowered, looks good. I'm happy with the stance on this. I may need the extra ground clearance given my location/situation.
