Warranty almost up, any suggestions?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm taking my truck in before my warranty expires to get the rock popping noise fixed, and hopefully whatever metal sounding rattle is coming from the drivers side. Not sure if that is the rattle under the steering wheel that I have read about?

 

Any suggestions on what else I should have done? Is there a programming update for the transmission or throttle response?

If you haven't already you need to create an account with "https://my.gmc.com/home"From there you'll be able to see all of the services performed on your truck, recalls, etc. I've brought my truck in on occasion only for them to say "Oh we have a TSB to perform." It would be nice if they were proactive

 

Good luck.

It really would be nice if they were proactive. Randomly I do get clunking in the transmission, so I am going to have them check that out too. Not sure if there is a throttle tsb, there are like 500 of them when I search.

Varies depending on coverage. Most are $1,500 - $2,000 and it could have been added in the vehicles financing when the truck was purchased. There's an enormous amount of aftermarket warranties floating around out there, just call around and find out which one would be best for you.

This is a pretty good list of some that are used all the time.

Me too . It was 1,500 (6 year 72,000)when I bought the truck and now they want 2,000. I get letters in the mail not sure why when I already have it . My warranty has already paid for itself after 1 year .

My mom had one of these aftermarket warranties and the company closed without warning and she didn't know until she went to make a claim. I am going to do some hefty research between price, reliability and customer satisfaction before my factory warranty expires.

For those that bank with USAA, they sell vehicle warranties as well. I'm looking into one for my Toyota Tacoma. Wish I would've known this when I purchased my 2014 Silverado. I ended up getting a warranty from the dealership.

In 99 when I bought my power stroke I paid 1500$ for an extended warranty from the dealer. Two years later an abs sensor went bad triggering the abs light an 80$ part. They declined to cover, so much for the bumper to bumper warranty. 2015 Santa Fe within the factory bumper to bumper warranty my seat started to rip on the side on the crease. Dealer declined. I wrote a email to Hyundais, explaining that after 4 Hyundais they can fix it or lose a loyal customer. They fixed it. The results I now drive a Chevy and a Camry. Extended warranties mean you'll just have to fight longer to get what you paid for. Both examples were factory backed, can't imagine the fight with third party warranty.

    • How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit. 
    • Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that? 
    • What are your thoughts? The Chevy Blazer relaunch was an epic case of 'lunchbag letdown'. Jeep Wranglers and Ford Broncos stick out like a sore thumb.    The AI photos do not look like a 'retro version', but shrunken Tahoes. Get away from the 'futuristic look'. I've seen two concepts. One had rectangular headlight like a Rivian and the other way to big should include dual round headlights like the early version.   If not this would look OK   At least it has GM styling (albeit the K2XX) A lot of the images floating around look like Bronco IIs or the current Bronco. Looking at the Broncos in my area (central Ontario, it seems to be a mix of 2 doors and 4 doors, 'mall rated' to ones that could go offroad.    I'm sure a AT4 and AT4X RPOs could be outfitted similar to a Rubicon if the braintrust understood the whole offroad scene. Crosing my fingers that if it does see the light that the front air dam/bumper doesn't extend below the center line of the tire...

    • And overpriced. I was in the Oshawa Truck Plant when they were being built. Very few. I could count on one hand how many I've seen since
