I have been seeing a lot of negative posts from new accounts with very little posts. If you look at some of these accounts' posts, they are all negative.

 

What is the possibility that the rash of negative posts lately are planted? just a thought....

 

To clarify: I am not saying ALL of them, but I suspect that a few of them could be.

So what you are saying is that new users with very few posts, are posting negative comments, are planted? Please clarify?

Every forum I've ever belonged to had "trolls". The internet for some is a place to be anyone they want. It is what it is. I for one take things for face value, and agree with the OP. Not to point fingers, but there are a few potstirrer.gif on the forum.

Regardless if they are trolls; the small hand full that are having problems (which some have legit problems), are the ones who are the loudest. These guys are the ones posting on every single post, complaining and bad mouthing the truck and GM. It makes it seem that there are more people than what it seems having issues..

 

I'm just sick of seeing the posts; "glad I found this site, I'm not buying my truck now". Really, let's listen to the internet and the few who are having problems to decide your vehicle purchase. I just want to lmao with these type of people.

 

My truck is perfect. It's my first GM vehicle and I'm glad I got it.

All car forums are this way. Either it's full of fanboys or negative Nancy's. You want a laugh, go over to TacomaWorld and read all the Homer posts and flaming on everyone who talks about other manufacturers trucks. GM sells a lot of trucks, I doubt these forums deter people in droves. To be honest, all the complaints here isn't what has been keeping me from buying a new truck. I'm holding out for the perfect deal since I don't "really" need a new truck. My Tacoma does 95% of what I need, I just want all the luxurious items and cabin space that isn't offered in a Tacoma.

I traded my 2013 Tacoma in on my GMC. I know all about tacomaworld.com. Rusty frames, vibration in the steering wheel, 4x4 going out, compass/out side temp indicator taking a dump, poor paint, etc.

 

When I had my 2011 5.0 Mustang, the mustang forums had #8 piston blowing apart, ac going out, faulty control arms, crappy manual transmission, faulty air bag sensors, rear end whine, etc.

 

It's everywhere, which is why I laugh at people thinking buying a different truck from another manufacture is the cure.

I take everyone's input with a grain of salt, and if it's something I can live with. Knock on wood, I've never had a car leave me stranded. Also, I've never owned a car I would consider a lemon and neither have my parents. IMO if people do their research and do a thorough test drive, they'll be happy with their purchases.

Like I have said before if you go to the internet and get on forums either Chevy, Ford, Dodge etc and listen to them you would never own a vehicle. All vehicles have there problems. I like the people that spend 60+ grand on a truck and think nothing should happen to it because the money they paid for it but don't think its the same vehicle that cost 25 grand base vehicle but with more add-ons.

I'm a legitimate owner that's had legitimate issues...

 

I like to think that if I have an issue that shouldn't be an issue, posting it on here might help someone else avoid the issue.

 

For example, my Goodyear SR-A tires that are stuck on an All Terrain package and marketed as All Terrain tires are pure crap. If I can make that known, maybe GM won't put those tires on anymore, but at the very least someone might read that and swap tires before they put any miles & depreciation on them.

 

I know of at least one person who's said they're swapping tires because of what they've read...I feel good about that.

 

In capitalism, the market has a voice...

 

 

Better question...why does it bother you that people complain/vent about their issues? Does it make your truck less nice to you? Does it hurt the image you have of yourself driving around in that truck?

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
