I'm surprised to see how many sheep are on here and how many assume they know everything.

 

To the one who said I use it as a work truck and must haul heavy loads or plow snow. I don't even drive the truck every day, it's by no means a work truck.

 

To all the fools who say its what I get and oh well just bend over and take it. I had no way of knowing if the heater works because I haven't had to use the heaters yet, it was summer time so a good faith by GMC makes pretty good sense to me.

 

To the ones who think well you bought more options just pay to have it fixed. That's right I bought an option I expected to work. all you have to do is a little search and see they have been having problems with the heaters and they give people lip service,"well it takes a while for it to heat up and you need to wait longer" how many miles to I have to put on before I find out it really doesn't work? 200?

 

They buy their time by feeding you BS, if you haven't figured that out yet you are in for a long hard lesson.

 

So here after having my truck for 2 full days they tell me they will talk to GMC about the seat and see what they say but that GMC has been pushing back. It's been a week and I still haven't heard anything. On top of that they never could figure out what happened to the steering and why it locked up. Mind you this is a stock unmodified truck!

 

On top of that they charged me $8.33 for shop materials, $55 dollars to look at my seat and 95 dollars to look into the steering. This is supposed to be warranty work!!!! Why are they charging me to fix their product that wasn't manufactured correctly? I already paid out the ass for this turd!!

 

This is just the fleecing of America and all you Clinton supports are the problem! Pull your heads out of your asses and stand up for yourself!!! If you let them take advantage of you, they will!!!

Maybe if you direct your thinking to the positive you will garner more support. Sometimes bashing others will get you votes but not free automotive service. I have owned many new vehicles and have often been given a good deal on fresh out of warranty issues. There is usually a direct correlation between my approach and the outcome!

Ditto. I have a good rapport with the manager and service department, frequently buying from the same dealer. Two instances where I had vehicles over the 3 yr. period with less than 36K.....service department called Chevy for a low mileage waiver for the repair and said if they couldn't get one they would eat the cost of the labor.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
