TRAIL BOSS RECALL


Recommended Posts

Posted

So am I the only one that has had their trailboss at the dealership nearly 20 days now with no solution or answer on why my truck isn't ready yet? I originally took it for a "brake caliper bolt strength" recall and a check engine light. They told me the bolts were replaced on the calipers and are now telling me that the check engine light is due to an issue with the electronic braking module that needs a new calibration. After having my car there for about 5 days they tell me that they have a new calibration and then later tell me that the calibration did not work and the car has been there since with no estimate or answer on why or when "GM" will send them a new calibration. I've called a million times and leave messages at the Bomnin Chevrolet West Kendall dealership and never hear back from them. The one time I spoke to a service advisor he simply stated that he didnt know when they would send the "new calibration". They took all trail bosses off the lot and it's been 17 days now with no answer. I called GM and opened a case with a senior advisor which has not yet been able to contact anyone at the dealership where I purchased the truck (Bomnin Chevrolet West Kendall) and he himself cannot explain what is going on. I am very frustrated as I put a heavy downpayment on that truck and drove it for about a week before having to leave it at the dealership. I want amswers!!!! Is anyone else going through this?????

I just had the brake calibration recall done on my trailboss yesterday with no issues.  I had an oil change, tire rotation and inspection done on about 1.5 hours. It was up in Stuart, FL. I have a custom if that matters. Sorry for your luck, it sounds like the dealer is dragging feet too.

Only deal with GM, it is your truck, go get it, even if it needs to be transported/towed to another dealer.

 

Much like going to the doctor, if you do not like their diagnosis, go to another one. Don't let a crappy dealership hold your truck hostage, it can be fixed at any GM lot at any time.

    • Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.
    • Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.
    • Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.
    • Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
