This is terrible... I had my 2019 GMC Denali 2500hd in for an accident repair since August 23rd Have use my one month insurance rental up and have been without a truck which I use to pull my boat to make a living... I have used and exhausted all remedies which include calling my insurance company to get extension, Going to the dealer and calling GMC to get something to drive with a no from each of them... They can't give me a timeline for a part to come in... Its not my fault GM is on strike and I'm being held hostage for this part... I have bought 3 trucks in 3 years and will never buy a GM again... Another note hit a concrete pole doing around 40mph broke the windshield with my head and the airbag didn't deploy... 18k in damages which includes frame damage... Anyone have any suggestions on what to do

I hate to be that guy...


But is it GM’s fault you hit a stationary object at 40mph? Own your bit mate.

Hope your head is good.

Only a person who doesn't know the circumstances would make a statement like that... You don't know what made me hit that stationary object... Maybe avoiding a person cutting me off.. The work was suppose to be done in 16 days and its now 39 with no end in sight... Waiting for a radiator bracket... Maybe I should wait a few more months... Yes it is GM's fault for not finishing the work in the time it was supposed to be done... Not my fault they are on strike... Hope it happens to you and see if your attitude would change... Head is ok thanks for the concern

Well, you happen to have damaged your truck at a bad time.  It could just as easily have been that you bought a Ford or Ram truck, and they happen to be in the middle of a strike.

 

Sounds like you'll need to pony up for a rental to earn your living...

Im retired and on a fixed income and compensate with guiding just to keep up with my bills... Truck payment 680 per month... 2 months without use of it... over 1 k for a pickup rental... Its not an option don't get enough trips to even pay for that... wish I could... You would think somewhere in the country they would have a radiator bracket on the shelf

Look on eBay or aftermarket and take it to them... or fab something up until the real thing comes in... if that’s the only part you are waiting on.

If the only thing you’re waiting on is a radiator bracket, zip tie the radiator in place and go.  Bring the truck back when the part gets in.

The whole front end is off that to put original GM parts for the truck.. Think the dealer has to use original GM parts for the warrantees

Than you are waiting for more than a radiator bracket, maybe the core support...

If I hit a pole like that and the airbag didn't deploy the only person I'd be talking to is my lawyer. The only truck I'd be worrying about is the new one GM would fork over as part of the settlement. ?

      GM Hard Folding Tonneau by REV review

      By cautious optimist · Posted

      This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      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.
