You really want the dealership to yank the cab and the box off plus dismantle everything to do this... I wouldn't. Unless they take your chassis and actually sandblast it or at minimum wire wheel the whole thing it's going to just do it again anyway lol. Hell if you are going that far pony up some money and have the frame stripped bare and powder coated. Seems like a waste of time and effort to have the same shitty tar blasted on it so it can just peel off again in a few years or less.

Ok, I am new to this site but as a GM tech who has been pushed too far, its time the truth came out! I know for a fact in the northeast, there is a service bulletin #PI056E: and its titled wax coating

That's not acceptable! Looks like it was done by a blind man. I'd be back there demanding to know why they had the truck for 3 days and that's all they accomplished. I sincerely doubt it's GM's fault,

Well, now you see the GM manufacturing trend for these trucks. The idea is to produce a comfortable vehicle with a car like ride, silent interior, and loaded with gadgets. This is bound to impress t

Not at all - I would prefer to get out of the truck altogether at this point but as of now this is all they are willing to do.

 

I am going to inspect the truck once it is "prepped" and if that point I don't like what I see they are going to have 2 options:

 

1) lots of unwanted media attention

 

2) new truck

 

I pride myself in taking care of my vehicles but it is hard to maintain something that is already too far gone... This is why I buy new so I make sure I have something that will last as I am willing to put the effort in on preventative maintenance...

I guess I am weird... I just clean mine up and repair it myself... I do a better job than they would ever be bothered with and no I am not taking the truck apart to do it lol. Different strokes I guess. Then again I refuse to let GM dealers touch the truck and have voided my warranty so it's not a concern of mine either lol.

Touching the frame up will not void any warranty except maybe the frame but if you keep it up it will never be an issue.

 

I do the same thing

Lol. Not remotely what I meant

.. my powertrain is not stock and I don't let dealer ass clowns near the truck. Pretty sure the cam, afm delete, blower and long tubes should finish off the warranty lol.

What's the solution?

 

Chev won't do spray on rust protection to my '16, and I know the rust module will not help the frame at all. Kind of disappointed in their approach for tackling rust especially in a land of sea salt, snow, sand, and road salt....

I just returned from the dealer with PIO0564 version H in hand which covers 2016 vehicles for the same problem so they are obliged to fix it.

 

You can download TSB below.

Right now they have my cab and box removed and are using solvent to remove the wax and undercoating. Then following the steps listed in the TSB.

 

I did not want to have my truck disassembled but I figure if I follow their recommendation that my warranty will stay intact and any future issues will be corrected as required.

Round 2 of frame treatment complete. In several spots you can see rust around the edges. That will clearly work its way under the coating, again. It also looks so rough in spots, it's obvious they just sprayed over everything without stripping it. So there will very likely be a round 3 of this shit. Woohoo!

Not laughing at your matter...but this is almost comical.

The process really is a joke. Here's a recap:

 

2015 with 3000 miles - http://m.imgur.com/a/ctmp2

Warranty work round 1 - http://m.imgur.com/a/w5MEm

6 month later - http://m.imgur.com/a/nIPEJ

Round 2 - http://m.imgur.com/a/IpoEI

 

Hmmm wonder if I will ever buy a GM vehicle again..

Also, who wants to bet that there will be a round 3 and 4.. And 5.

I cant see them touching it again... they will just say deal with it (unfortunately)

 

GM repainted my bumpers only pending a 3m clear bra installation ($500 of my own money) and said they wouldn't warranty it any more going forward unless I went with that option.

So I went over a month and a half ago and the dealership keeps on telling me they are waiting for parts from gm. That they are missing 1 item from them. Has anyone else had this delay? I am starting to get annoyed.

I called them again today and they told me they got the final part on Friday. So I'm ready for them to do their work. I hope it comes out alright. Thanks.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      Yea a fluid change is in order here. Honestly, your transmission didn’t even get hot. During the summer in stop and go traffic I’ve seen my 8l80 get up to 216 and it was still shifting smoothly.

      I'd change the fluid and start there.   198F is nothing for the 8L90.  They typically operate 180-200F stock.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By LCH14 · Posted

      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.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      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.
