Yea they definitely want an incompetent boob doing oil changes. Making sure you don’t come back for repairs. Makes sense to me.

You say it like that doesn't happen. It does not matter in the least what profession it is in, there is incompetence. The lettering on my tailgate has now been done three times due to it. The same guy gouged part of the plastic trim trying to fix my seat cover. That same guy also couldn't put the foam back on correctly. We have all heard horror stories about mechanics who seemingly forgot to put the oil back. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying it happens 10% of the time or any great number but it does indeed happen. It doesn't really suck til its you that has to be that one.

I’m not saying there’re all perfect. I’m my 66 years I’ve seen incompetence. Not everyone suited for the job. Have you noticed the last year in a half. It happens even in the most important occupation. I use to do all my work when I bought used vehicles they were usually beaters when I was younger first married. As I bought newer vehicles with warranty I used them for service. It’s easy to determine who’s at fault. Ifs there’s a problem. If they do all the work. I watch they know it, they probably have it on the work sheet. Because I’m a frequent customer. No problem doing your own work. Been there done that. I’ve moved on. At my age I do what I want. Oil changes for the most part, not on the list.

Yeah the last year and a half has just gotten more nuts than everything was. Im only almost 50 and have done my own since I purchased my first ride. Its cheaper for me to do it myself even though its getting harder to get under there. I do keep impeccable records though :D .

Yes, there are service folks at dealers that should be in another occupation.

There are also some that could be having a bad day.

 

Otoh, there are also lots of owners that should be told to 'back away from the toolbox'. 

 

One of my fears when acquiring used vehicles/machines is that it might have been in the hands of one of those owners.

Just because they are very good with the appearance care does not mean that are good with mechanical servicing.

Very true, and it bothers me to no end when I hear "car wash" guys try to speak as though they are mechanics, and vice versa.  

 

Just because you polish shoes, it doesn't make you a cobbler.

Specifically referring to the crank/no start situation. I have a ‘21 sierra 3.0 and it was doing the crank/ start situation as well as a few other things. I took it back to the dealership for repairs and they said they had heard of it and there was a TSB on the issue. Their first repair is a shim on the reluctor wheel, if that works your good, if not they have to tear the motor down and do some other repair. They did the reluctor wheel shim on mine and it has been flawless since then, almost a year.

Don’t believe they are even doing that anymore. It’s just an ECU reflash now which gets rid of the issue.

      Feeling Vibration and Jiggles in 2024 HD Gasser Steering Wheel

      By Policeoff01 · Posted

      Curious, did anyone ever get a fix for the vibration reported here.   I have a 2024 Silverado with 6.6 duramax.   I’m noting the same vibration resonating up through the steering shaft into the steering wheel.    Best way to describe- like someone is tapping on the steering shaft/components and it’s resonating into the steering wheel.    thanks.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.
