You are either full of yourself or no more mature than a 10 year old troll. The crap about the honeymoon being over had no intent to help anyone.

Neither is true obviously. The statement about the honeymoon being over is intended to help prepare those that may have similar issues. Just a poetic way of putting it as you can see I enjoy writing. Preperation is always a good thing. Your immature insults are not warranted or needed here. Instead of insulting aquire stronger communication skills and learn a better way to express your ideas to someone you don't agree with. Enjoy your truck! bump^^

I honestly don't get why people get so bent out of shape by recalls... they're a good thing. It means the manufacture is catching and issue and fixing it for free.   Ever bought a product, used it f

GM must be hiring trolls to come to their defense when consumers post real life honest experiences. Pretty smart tactic but in the end it wont work.

Update: Dealer is painting the lower portion of the doors. He told me they are going to mic the surrounding areas in order to see if they can find and fix other potential areas. I am not sure this will work as the thickness of the paint has not much to do with the prep work but I said ok Ill let them work on it. Then I was told they will send it over to service to diagnose the 50-40mph vibrating im getting. Will post the outcome.

I truly hope all these issues with your truck are corrected. No one should spend the money these trucks cost and not be happy/satisfied with their purchase.

 

It's a shame your asinine remarks detract from the fact that you have genuine issues to share.

blifsey, how do you like your truck?

I'm loving it. I enjoy driving it around town (small rural town), on the highway and in larger cities I've driven it in. It rides great and I've not had any vibration issues short of one time on interstate running 75mph. I moved into another lane and ride smoothed out so. This was section of highway I've driven in several different vehicles and none ride smooth on it.

Great, mine sucks ass - I drive everyday on the highway and the mysterious vibrations from who knows where is horrible. V4 AFM is the worst part. My service dealer has advised me to seek help at another dealer because it is normal and his words "GM does not have a fix". I am not in a position money wise to raise my payment to trade it.

 

I am happy you have a trouble free truck, but my experience allows me to be pissed off at my dealer and GM.

I am sure that is so totally frustrating. A consumer should not have to go through issues such as you and others are experiencing. I have followed several forums over the years beginning with in 1998 with a Dodge Durango. The vehicles have included that Dodge, another Chevy truck, a couple of Fords (bought used for my kids), two VWs and now this Chevy. Every one of them had its share of owners with issues. Unfortunately, no brand of new car has perfect quality.

 

Perhaps part of my satisfaction is I'm coming to this truck from that '98 Durango being my daily driver...it was time for an updated vehicle.

 

Whatever your resolution may be - a fixed truck, a good working GM, or another brand , I hope it comes soon for you.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.
