While this isn't necessarily about a truck, it is about GM parts on backorder. Super long story short, after a P0302 code was being thrown, my barely two-year-old Ford Fusion was found to be leaking coolant into my header gasket, which in turn leaked into cylinder two. Extensive damage has been done and Ford is buying me a brand new engine thanks to the powertrain warranty. However, it's on backorder across the entire country. Wondering how long I'm going have to wait.  The dealership said at least 3 weeks but I'm wondering if it's going to be more like 3 months... Any thoughts, comments, recommendations, etc., are really appreciated!!

Welcome to the site.

 

Going to be kidding when I say this, but light it on fire (somewhere safe, out in the woods) and collect the insurance money and buy yourself a GM truck.

 

All problems will be solved in your life.....

Same fuel pump issue. Brand new 2020 Trail Boss. Had it for 1 week and now it sits in the dealership waiting for an "undetermined" amount of time with the fuel pump in backorder. Frustrating AF. Dealership is no help.

I bought my 2015 silverado 1500 and 3 months later a lifter went (of course.) My truck has been in since January 27 and they have no idea when these lifters will come in...

I bought a brand new 2020 Chevy Silverado and drove it for 6 days and the master cylinder went out on it. They said part is on back order. They will have had my truck a month tomorrow and still no part. What the hell is going on? Not happy with GM at all

I imagine that based on everyone's experience, the average wait time would be 1-3 months for back ordered parts.

Yes, I am here cause I need help

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

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

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
