Do you even own a "19/'20? Or are you still driving tbe vibrating shakerado with the loose popping seat? Show us your '19/'20 truck and tell us the problem you have with it. 

Did you miss the UGLY part? 

Why buy again what I wouldn't buy to begin with.  

 

Don't you talk about Pepper like that. Shes a sensitive girl. :) She now has 126 K on the clock and has yet to show a single issue attributed to the K2** trucks. Not a single one. She's been a perfect lady. 

 

I don't care how much money the Governor's has, his daughter is ugly and I'm not asking her to the dance. 

 

OH I sat in one. Lord that seat is crap. Did they get that from a kindergarten class room?

 

My seat doesn't squeak and it isn't loose. Don't get fresh with me young man. The gall of some people!

For those new to the thread/TLDR version:   Some: "No I wouldn't buy this again." Some Others: "Yes I would, I love it." Grumpy Bear: "Rebuy? I wouldn't buy it to begin with!"

No offense Grumpy but we have very different tastes when it comes to looks and being vocal about calling other trucks UGLY...

Yes, I would. Ideally I would love either a Denali 2500HD or F250 King Ranch but my wife says we don't "need" that big a truck, we compromised on a 1/2 ton. I'd really like the F150 King Ranch, I think overall Ford has done a fantastic job with their trucks, the ones I've had seem nicer and ride better. Even giving the edge to Ford for my tastes... I'm just a GM man at heart. Grew up with Suburbans and Tahoes. First truck was a Z71 Silverado and there's something that draws me to the "simple" classic feel. I wasn't a fan of the front end of this new '19/20 when it was first released but the looks of this truck have grown substantially to me. I really love how this truck looks.

 

What pushed me to get the Silverado was the 3.0L Duramax. I wanted something different this go around and it sucked me in. I've been extremely pleased with my truck and have zero buyer's remorse. The baby Duramax is fun, I've enjoyed having a diesel, and the fuel mileage just keeps me giddy. I'm 12,000 miles in with no problems outside the dealer clearing a few software updates/recalls. Good bit city driving, lots of highway driving, and about 20% towing 5800lb trailer. Getting this truck exactly how I wanted for $43.5K (Crew Cab, Z71 4X4, Tinted windows, Leather, front bench, 20" wheels, 3.0L Duramax, Safety package, sliding rear window, etc) vs the F150 King Ranch for $60K+, I just couldn't pass it up.

It’s why it’s so easy to paint this truck, or any truck in a given forum, as bad, or unreliable. Those without problems or a negative view are less likely to chime in. I try to take every group of reviews with a grain of salt. I mean, I researched and didn’t even drive another full size before trying and buying this one, haha. It’s possible that ignorance of the competition lets me enjoy it, but whateva, haha.

You would not believe how much better my Stihl equipment runs on my $5 'brew' over $38 Stihl fuel. Not even if you held it in your hand your own self. Says something about bias doesn't it?

Hahaha, I apologize, I really wasn’t directing it at you specifically just many forum responses in general. So, no sir, you did not say that, not twisting anything.

And like said; the thread is would you "rebuy" and you can't rebuy if you don't have.  Correct???  The thread isn't would you "buy".  There's already a thread on that.  UGLY?   Pure opinion.   I think the T1 looks awesome.  Eventually, you'll get a new truck and may be eating your same words.  Funny when the T1 came out so many people and members here said they're ugly then came back and posted it's growing on them and got one.  Like through the years, many say a new body style is ugly and they're keeping what they have but end up getting a new one and then the older truck is now the ugly truck.  It is what it is.

Here I fixed that for you. Now you went and hurt her feelings. Poor girl. :crackup:Just haven't some fun kids. ? 

She does appreciate the re-post. 

Man she's pretty!!!

 

Yes, our taste is different. Some people actually liked the looks of an 59 Edsel Ranger.

Must have, a few still around. Will these 60 years from now?

Well first of all I hear and read just fine. Now about caring....not so much. But I do like to have some fun now and again. You know. Like when you dig me in one of my threads or replies. I took it. Now I dish it. 

 

I am almost certain at this point, given price, looks and features, my next truck will be just about anything before 1970.

My wife and I have a deal.  She doesn't tell me what I do or don't need in the garage and I don't tell her what she does or doesn't need in the kitchen.

I love the looks of the T1 trucks. I really feel they are an evolution of the 90s style c/k series trucks.  They are super aggressive looking in person and especially when one comes up in you in your rear view mirror.  Was driving wife’s terrain today and a white RST with rally stripes came up on me and WOW did it look sharp.  Looks are subjective to everyone. But seeing the car in person is SO MUCH BETTER. Pics don’t give it justice. 
 

Also the thread is for PEOPLE who actually OWN a T1 truck and if THEY would BUY/REBUY again. Pretty self explanatory 

 

and H€LL yes to buying this truck again. I’ve only owned mine 4 months and the driving experience is 100% better than the 3 K2 trucks I owned. I truly love driving this truck.

My mother totaled a car dad bought driving off the lot. Ownership time under 3 minutes. I test drove a T1 and on that drive concluded with a I own was not giving away a thing. Test drive was over three minutes. Would signing a title have made my opinion less valid? I think not. If I didn't buy it the first time I sure wouldn't a second. Done and Dun.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There would be one way of determining the quality of the factory oil although probably more than a typical oil lab test, and that would be to draw out some oil from a new truck and send a sample to a lab that could do a more elaborate test of the oil. The issue with too little oil in the diff may not be the lack of lubrication of the diff bearings and gears themselves ( although a lack of oil volume for cooling ) but the wheel bearings because at some point the oil would be too low to properly get onto the spinning axle or fed along the axle tube. That was the claim by the local dealer from a couple of trucks in recent years that had the wheel bearings fail and they figured from lack of sufficient oil due to a severe underfilled diff and some of the bearing material made its way to the diff and it got damaged as well so the axle housings were just replaced on warranty. But your right that if the diff is over filled by whatever margin that it causes more churning of the oil than is desirable and that is no good either and can cause a pinion seal to leak. Also old oil I believe can tend to loose some of its properties like antifoaming and another good reason to change the diff oil every so often.

      I would be surprised if the diff's were not filled (with the cheapest gear lube) at the axle factory before being shipped to GM.  If you ever watched them building trucks they install the axles and all suspension parts with the frame upside down and then turn it over before its time to install the engine.     Too much gear lube in a axle can be worse than not enough especially with a lower quality GL where is get whipped up with entrained air (foam)  weakening its ability to lubricate.

      This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.
