Sure. You claim one of the more rational, educated and helpful members of this forum only posts "poorly put together sentences" as you, yourself, write a poorly put together sentence with errant punctation and spelling. 

 

I just found it ironically amusing. ??

You'd think that someone calling out someone else on sentence structure would at least try to pay attention.  

"care to elaborate?"  hahahahahha

Life is like a bunch of GM Transmissions.....  You Never Know What You're Gonna Get!

Which is why I shared information on the reformulation of Dexron HP. THAT helps people. Guys like you and Benelli, going around repeating over and over "the 8-speed is junk", "your transmission is goi

What is wrong with a quick neutral statement? I am typing on my cell phone.

ok.... and all you ever post are poorly put together sentences to try and defend GM on EVERYTHING. Not sure why you are so obsessed with trying to correct people and tell them their complaints aren't valid. Like I said your head is way to far up GM's ass for you to even make a rational post.

Why? Because I haven't had a problem with my trucks? Like I said, idiots said the exact same shit you're saying now. GUESS WHAT. It didn't happen! Not in five years of owning the truck. It started every time, the AC blew cold every time, the brakes worked every time, the transmission worked every time, etc. Get a life.

Lol your living in a fantasy world bud every forum on the net. The same issues with this truck my 17 had the brake pump go out on me last week nearly rolled down a hill have you looked at the pulley and the pump ? Looks like a pulley is a snowblower lol ****ing junk with a 3/8 belt. I really don’t blame you for defending your purchase but reality is that all these things will fail. I’ve been in the automotive business 30 years as an independent . There’s not one manufacture that doesnt have problems but Gm dropped the ball on all there parts they install on these rigs. They buy the cheapest from China charge a bundle for the looks of the trucks . But quality is crap. Drive it for awhile you might change your tune once all these issues come about.

Sorry, your run on sentence made it look like you were saying I claim to be all those things.

Sorry this guy thinks he’s a literature teacher and expert . People have the right to there own opinions and comments about the truck brand . All these issues are well documented all over the net. There’s no such thing as “well mine doesn’t do it” or “I have no issues “ what many are simply saying is eventually you will be in the same boat as everyone else. These transmissions will fail as many other parts on the Silverado and Sierra models. Usually out of warranty. Is there one manufacture better than another? No . They all have issues but if we do t make noise about it then it get swept under the rug.

There is such a thing as:  "Mine doesn't do it" and "I have no issues"

These trucks do not have a 100% failure rate.  Which is what you just claimed in your post.

 

I get that these trucks have problems, and for the people experiencing them it sucks.  Bad.

But saying that every 8spd transmission is going to nuke itself with your only basis being what you read on this board is terribly misleading.

 

I come to the troubleshooting forum to see what the typical problems for these trucks are, which I am an owner of one.

But it seems that all these posts just devolve into name calling...

      Doors lock and mirrors fold in while driving

      By BIGBOYS · Posted

      I have a 2015 Silverado and sometimes I can not get in to the truck. I use the key to unlock the driver door. Something is locking the truck when I unlock it, last night I left the truck open and this morning it was locked with the mirrors folded in. This happens while driving so it is now a safety issue. I reach down for the folding button and they open, then they close again.  Any advice, thank you,   Ed

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.
