I've never seen where they acknowledged the lighting issue even once. Might have missed it, but don't think so?

Im not about to Bash GM, im a loyal customer and every vehicle has its quirks that need to be worked out.

 

ive noticed that even on other forums they just go into threads where they can try to assist 1 single person who is having a issue. they take their vin in a PM, and create some sort of record for the complaint.

they wont touch anything that is a safety concern, even if you send them a PM with a link to the thread.

they wont give out solutions online or even admit to there being a issue, they will send you to a specific dealership and if they cant sort out your complaint then they will send a specialist out to take a look.

most likely just social media marketing grads who got a work from home job.

 

its great that GM is reaching out and i honestly cant blame them for handling online questions the way they do, but sometimes i would love to see them come in and post some actual info, recalls, part changes and service bulletin info.

hopefully these headlights get issued a service bulletin number and not just a part change.

Sounds like this will at least help with the low beams, but does it do anything with the aim on the high beams? I have a feeling that's more a symptom of the projector lens design vice the bulb.

 

I know on mine, the high beams point to the tree tops. Aiming the high beams to be functional gets the low beams pointing right into the ground.

I'm wondering if the flash just makes the infotainment center a little dimmer and does nothing to make the new bulbs brighter. If you think about it that be the cheapest way to make us think they are actually fixing it.

I called GM and they told me to speak with the dealership and when I spoke to them, they had no clue what I was asking. So does anyone know what the part # is, or some kind of documentation about it? Some type of proof of life so I can go to the dealership with it and explain?

No, you're out of luck on all that. No part number, no service bulletin ........ You have to start at the beginning with your dealer and lodge a complaint about indequate headlights. No shortcuts ....... Other folks are also working on this for their trucks. Until, hopefully, a GM "fix"or update, or service bulletin becomes available, you will have to do all the leg work for your truck...... Dealer, GMC customer assistance, ect., ect., ........document your trail and complaints ........

At this time, no other way .......

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case."

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      Two interesting tidbits of information which are NOT related were just released.   One, regarding the possible thrust bearing issues / engine failures with the 3.0. Demonworks just did a segment in which they believe they may have found "a" or "the" cause of thrust bearing failures: A missing thrust bearing. If the engine doesn't have all its thrust bearings from the factory, the missing bearing can cause extra play which ends up destroying a nearby thrust bearing which then sends metal through the engine.       Of other importance, Lake Speed Jr released some interest information regarding oil weight selection for the 3.0. Comparisons of:   AcDelco 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w30 Mobil 1 ESP x4 0w40. Mobil Delvac 5w40   Spoiler alert: The Mobils are PAO Ester -base and the ACDelco is a Group III base. Mobil shows lower wear in their tests for similar weights. Additive packages between 20-30-40 weight ESP's appear to be the same, but only 0w20 is Dexos D licensed. Wear is even more reduced with 30 and 40 weight ESP although all perform very well and resist shear and provide very similar viscosities within temperature operating ranges in the 3.0.   There are even more surprises, so just go watch it.

      Weird click noise when revving my truck?

      By JimmyB4 · Posted

      Hello Guys I'm new to the form,         I just put a 7-inch Rough Country lift on my 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 with the 5.3 and I also put a Borla exhaust on it. But I noticed when I'm in park or in neutral and then I rev my truck up really quick there is a bad click noise and I think it's coming from the motor somewhere. Anyways I got a video of it I will attach below I was just wondering if you guys think its rod knock or lifter tick or something like that because I know the AFM kind of made the lifters weak on these trucks.       Thanks!!!!! RIP - Chevy 5.3 IMG_6043.mov

      We’ll have to agree to disagree. I didn’t experience or know anyone who had a decent car after 100K miles in the 60s through the 80s that were daily commuter vehicles. Unless they were collector vehicles. Of course things cost more due to inflation. But we also make more money. The biggest money drains these days are things people think they need today versus what we require back in the day. Like cell phones and internet as examples. Another example is where you live. Cost of living varies from state to state. I would need twice the money to live in NJ vs Texas in retirement. The car you recently purchased was less than my first car with inflation at 3000$ in 1973. I didn’t have air, electric windows, cruise etc. Purchasing power is equivalent, you just have to do the research.
