I've been quoted $235 CDN + environment tax and GST etc.. for my 2014 Sierra SLE 1500.

I was expecting a lot more.

Does this sound about right?

My insurance covered my windshield free of charge. Most insurance policies do. Considered a safety hazard, so it shouldn't raise your rate

No glass coverage.

Most people don't bother out west here. The roads are covered in grit for 6 months of the year and glass coverage is very high.

Thats a Great Price with labor and Yes out West here we don't bother. I paid $150 in 1998. So thats about right.

But then It goes to show you HOW CHEAP Glass is?

 

I don't want to tell you How Much it really costs....But just subtract $50 for labor and then divide it in half twice.

Thats what it cost them! Remem...Chiner now makes Glass. So before install

 

CHECK!

OK, just had the windshield replaced.

For the record; no insurance; installed price:

 

$263.17 CDN (including all fee and taxes)

(That's $210.60 US at todays exchange rate)

Can I ask where you were quoted this price? I'm in Burlington, Ontario and it appears I'm going to need a new windshield as the wife took the truck to her work this morning and with no cars or anything around her, the windshield cracked right across......It was -23c at the time but could it possibly be a manufacturers defect?

Windsheilds are cheaper out there to replace because of that. So your price is most likely right.

 

My Friend lived out there and replaced his once a year.

It's like anything if you want aftermarket (I've installed for 15 years) which is the price your quoted. I can tell you most windshields are cheap junk. The Chinese are the worst by far they are dot 563 and 459 which if you call safe lite your getting Chinese. The bends in the glass are slightly off and the molding around the glass won't be perfect either. The factory dot is 287 made by vitro out of Mexico. Find a shop that can get that brand for you. Pilkington and Pgw will look ok but just being honest it won't be perfect. I don't know your situation though you might be happy saving a couple bucks and not have it perfect.

Windshields are relatively cheap compared to side windows. I paid well over $300, a dozen years ago, for a rear side in my GMT800 extended cab. I put in 3 PGW windshields in my last truck. First star crack happened within a half hour of buying the truck.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?
