$70K?

Nice truck! I understand when trees block your view of the forest.  If the finish on the knobs is preventing you from enjoying your truck then pay the money to replace them.  If  buying the truck has

I don’t think it’s so much that they are made of plastic, but by trying so hard to make them look like machined aluminum, they skipped the grippy rubber coating you’d find even on an economy car of 10

I agree.  I can also understand that the colour of the buttons/lights/trim on the dash of your vehicle can be less than optimal for your personal (subjective) tastes. Blaming this on the price of your vehicle is a bit of a head scratcher.  I find that focusing on the big picture keeps me from fixating on the trivial stuff.   

This is what happens when people overextend themselves.

 

They buy too much truck for their income level, then buyers remorse sets in when they realize they have to curtail their standard of living for the next 5-8 years (LOL, taking an 8yr loan on a vehicle) and they start looking for things to bitch about.

 

Hell, one guy the other day didn't think the leaf springs on a brand new truck should do leaf spring things.

I find it to be a funny that some of you people assume that because we mentioned the cost of the truck that we can't afford it and cry wolf after. LOL 

 

I paid cash for my truck I don't need a loan if you need one that's great for you. Wish you were in a better financial situation.
 

Not all comments are about being able to afford it, the comment is based on when you spend that much money you expect a little better quality. Especially when other production lines of the same manufacturer do offer it.

I doubt the "quality" is different between Silverado and Sierra knobs.  If money isn't an issue then it sounds like switching to Silverado knobs solves your problem with the chrome colour.  Remember to take before and after pictures for those following your thread.

It’s actually my thread, but I’d love pics if Taz switches them out. This was supposed to be a simple thread, yet again on this site, just asking what others have done if they weren’t happy with the rings. Of course it’s getting off topic with how much you paid, making fun of people, etc.... 

 

was just curious if people that weren’t happy about the chrome did anything, and if so, what they did... simple....

You can spend cash and still overextend yourself.

 

 

If the knobs are such an issue then why did you buy the truck in the first place?

 

Would you have bought a ridgeline if it had really really nice knobs?

I am certainly not one of those people.

 

I did what I did and I'm failing to see why it's any of your concern, or why it's any of your concern what I'm happy with or not happy with. You're not offering objective advice you're criticizing my comments, and honestly I could care less for your opinion at this point.
 

There was a thread posted by someone else, I agreed and I posted. I'm done with this thread you have yourself a great day

Fair enough, that is true I said that. Sticker price was 70, but if I said I got a deal it takes away from the comment. But thank you for being the posting police good sir. Wear your badge with pride.

I never said you were one of those people, yet you took up a defensive position behind the thought.

 

Why is that?

 

 

You did post on a public forum for people to read, correct?

 

Who are you to tell people what, when or why they are to respond on a public forum?

 

Seems like you are the one wanting to be the posting cop.

 

Grow some skin.

For a tool like you I will come back. You obviously wanted me to as you quoted me on here knowing I would get a notification. So here is your reply.

 

Yes I am on a public forum. But most people (like myself) come to places like these for advice, idea's, bounce thoughts around, find a good deal on parts, figure out how to DIY and to maybe find something they never thought to ask. Then there are trolls and idiots that either are having a slow day or maybe they have shitty lives and they have nothing better to do that turn the post or comment 180 degrees for their own enjoyment.  For example me saying that for what I paid I expect more than something that looks so cheap and it got turned into comments about affording the truck LOL. 

 

Anyways. How did you say it "Grow some skin" LOL... are you 10?

 

Take care and all the best. I really do hope you enjoy your truck they are a great truck (with some cheaply made parts inside).

      I'm tangentially aware of what Harley used to be, back in my riding days, although I was into Italian sport bikes. Ducati seems to have gone the other way; still very expensive, but they've made a large subset of their bikes a lot more reliable and accessible, and they've diversified their lineup to include other riding sports too. IMO, a good example of where greed and growth might have also been beneficial to the consumer.   Although GM is charging a relative premium for its most popular pickups, I find that there are some excellent value propositions in its lineup as well.   The Colorado still strikes me as the most attractive midsize on the market, and also the most reasonably priced given capability and features. There's a part of me that wishes I would have bought one instead of my Silverado.   The Equinox ...I must be getting old. The ICE equinox is a great design IMO. Probably because it reminds me visually of an actual SUV aka an S Blazer. Underneath it's nothing even remotely close, but it LOOKS good. It's got all the modern features plus some at a very reasonable price. If I had to run out and buy myself a daily commuter to do everything except tow, an Equinox would be on my list.   It does bug me that mid-tier 1500's reach into the 50-60k range, and Tahoes and Burbs are even more expensive. Less than 10 years ago, dealers were sitting on rows of Tahoe LS and LT's for low 40's. You could even still find Tahoes with a front bench, still!

      Gas Prices

      Big oil is raking in billions from the Iran war. Can it avoid Trump’s fury?   Remember I said Big Oil is 'Vertically Integrated"?   Even as they no longer own the majority of the "Pump" they still own the "Well". Crude price upward pressure does not translate into that same pressure on production. Pumping cost remain unaffected and the gap is pure profit. Even after subtraction of a minor, comparatively, lower amount from supposed, but not always, realized refining volume. Consumers hate war, Big Oil, not so much.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We live in a world where the average person expects more. People say wages and our needs are farther apart. My first new home had 3 bedrooms and one bedroom. My first car and truck had what would be considered a stripped or work vehicle. In my neighborhood back then there were more homes like that and cars too. Middle managers and second home buyers worked their way up to the fancy houses and cars. Car loans were 3 years. GM had different models of cars for different income levels. The cars were pretty much the same size if you wanted a big vehicle. The nameplate designated the opulence. Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile and Cadillac.  To be fair some of the cost is government mandated. We can’t blame them for giving us what people will pay for. Careful advertising steering people towards more profitable SUVs and trucks. As I learned recently a minivan is a cheaper more efficient form of transportation. Certainly easier to live with. Somebody realized the profit margin wasn’t as big and gave it a soccer mom label. So it lost its coolness. They’re making it the masses are buying it. You hit your hand with a hammer you can’t blame the hammer.

      Electrical /Immobilizer Data- Battery Voltage (V) Test malfunction

      By Aussie2500HD · Posted

      Hi All, I’m In need of advice regarding a scan result on my 2023 Silverado HD.  The Sensor Supply voltage relay states ON But…. the following 3 tests show Malfunction. Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit HIGH voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit LOW voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit OPEN test status - Malfunction. No DTC codes are stored. No DIC Lights. Remote Key Fob has been giving a few issues, namely Vehicle will not respond to an Open/Lock command from the key fob. New batteries installed to FOB made no difference, plus on one occasion recently the vehicle unlocked using the Fob, the vehicle started normally via the push button, then a random warning came up on the DIC stating the Remote Key was not found, all this while the key was located next to the central cup holders. Does anyone have any input or advice regarding this scenario? TIA
