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

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...

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
