Just wanted to give a shout out to you boys out in the Fort Wayne Indiana Assembly Plant! A job well done!! I just came in from waxing my truck again, and I have to say you guys did a great job. The build quality is right on the money and I am VERY picky!

You guys can feel good about the job you're doing and I absolutely love this truck! :thumbs:

X 3. Love my truck. Every time I get to drive it, I cannot believe that it is mine. But reality hits once a month when the truck payment is due. LOL .

Sad to see that there were only 2 replies on this. And these are the people who build the trucks we all like.

It's just human nature, Chevy sold 529,755 Silverado's in 2014 and 600,544 in 2015, so even if 2% of those came to a website looking about how to fix something it would look overwhelming , even though 98% love their trucks. And then of course you have your Trolls!

 

Where I work we have contractors coming in every single day, many driving the new Silverados. I make it a point to ask them about their trucks. It's almost 100% approval, most say it's the best truck they have EVER owned !

Traded my 2014 Sierra Z71 5.3 crew cab, for a 2015 Z71 5.3 Double Cab, with all the same options. Main reason I dropped down to a Double Cab was because it was built in Ft. Wayne. The trucks are basically the same, but IMO the build quality is much better in the Double Cab. I agree 100% with other Double Cab owners-Great Job Ft. Wayne! Love the truck!

I have a Ft. Wayne DC truck. It's been a solid truck for 2 1/2 years. I've surprised a few guys that thought all of GM's pickups are made in Mexico these days.

You're welcome! The Chevrolet Pick Up Truck is an "AMERICAN ' icon and you boys are representing that well! :thumbs::thumbs:

When i traded my 2014 crew for my 2015 DC, my salesman wasn't even aware that the DC were made in Ft Wayne. I had to enlighten him.

I love my Fort Wayne built truck so far. The only problem I have is a differential that started screaming with only 30 miles on it. I have to take it in to have it looked at this spring. For now it's in winter storage. :/

    • Yep! This should be a pin somewhere as @pgamboa really dives into all of this. Thanks for reposting the link!
    • I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.       
    • Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.  
    • I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires. 
    • Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
