Quoted above for you.

Well, guess that's his opinion, I still wouldn't own one either, but for different reasons!

To each their own.

 

I just hope the ones that say they'll never buy "jap" stuff don't own a cell phone, tv, computer or anything remotely linked to technology.

It's about supporting American brands when you can. Besides, most of the stuff you listed is made in China. lol

Hey!

 

I have a GREAT idea!

 

 

Let's go to a competitor's forum and diss everyone for buying that particular truck!!

 

 

 

oh.... wait.... nevermind.

In all seriousness, why not put some type of coating on the metal parts underneath (not talking about manifold as it gets too hot) so it doesn't rust? Even if the rust, as some of you say, never matters, it looks like shit and the average consumer doesn't like it when they go to drop 45k on a brand new vehicle.

 

Also, how hard is it to get your tranny reprogrammed?

Idk if its new for 2015 but my frame is coated as well as a few other things underneath the cab. Its like a gel that would be very hard to get offf and wont ever flake like a traditional hard sealer. It will give. Almost like a very very tacky tar substance. Good luck finding a way to get that off. I understand your tranny comment, im impressed with GM's tranny, as far as toughness and reliability, but mine does shift awkward some times. But then again, ive only got 1700 miles on mine now. Look around and tell me how many 70 80 90 2000 yr nodel trucks you see compared by brand GM makes a solid vehicle more ESPECIALLY the truck. Theyre amazing trucks and Ill always drive a chevy.

Meh, tundras have their fair share of problems. I owned an '08 before I bought my '14 silverado. Id also like to mention that toyota really skimped out on the "new" model, adding nothing more than new aesthetics. *yawn*

I said it once and I'm gunna say it again.

 

A truck isn't a truck unless it's domestic and a V8. (Unless we're talking about diesels).

 

None of this V6 turbo Ecoboost crap, none of this aluminum crap, none of this imported crap. "Japanese truck" just read that a couple of times... it's actually humorous to have those two words paired together.

 

Call me old fashioned, or whatever you wish, but I will ALWAYS own domestic and I will ALWAYS own V8s.

 

Unfortunately it seems less and less people are agreeing with me.

 

Wanted to add, that whole WW2 thing is silly. I don't base what I buy from something that happened 70 years ago. The majority of what we buy is made in Asia. (Clothes, phones, TVs, etc.)

It's getting a little lame here...need to add some fuel:

 

http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/173747-silverado-and-sierra-ranked-lower-than-tundra-on-american-made-list/?do=findComment&comment=1636343As I stated before I have a brother in law that has two Tundras very nice trucks. The 14 GMC is a little quieter and smother I was aiming toward the Tundra that has a better transmission and no V4 BS, the price I paid for mine was the clincher. He has over 60K on his Tundra no problems at all. I have owned all the brands am not a fan boy to any brand.

 

:devil:

so long

You're going to get banned! :crackup:

 

The fact that the Tundra has a higher domestic parts content than the 1/2 ton GM's is nothing new. It's been that way since 2007.

To all the anti GM boys here the next time you are shopping for a new truck ask your girlfriends/wives if you can have your jewels from their purses and maybe then you can pick the non-GM truck instead of them picking the GM truck that you have to drive and constantly piss and moan about. :fingersx:

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
