I just read the article 'GM to Launch Massive Online Parts and Accessories Shop' and had to laugh!. I don't know about anyone else who's buying into this stuff but speaking of parts, my 2020 Chevy 2500HD has been sitting in the dealer's lot for a replacement defective DEF tank for the past couple weeks. The truck just turned over 10k miles, yes I haven't driven it much since that ill-fated day in January 2020 when I decided to buy a new truck to haul my camper. I grew up in Michigan and wanted to own a Flint assembled 'Made in America' truck but now I'm not sure I will ever buy another GM product. The price for that decision was insanly expensive to start with and at the time was sure it was a great truck to own.  Better that any Ford or Ram trucks. My Chevy dealer's service department just told me that they have no ETA for the replacement part for mine and the other diesel trucks sitting in thier yard pending the same part. What a shame!

How is that's GM's fault when the makers of the parts can't supply them?  My neighbor had her old garage remodeled and they ordered 2 new overhead metal doors.  To this date the doors have not showed up.  On back-order since July 2021.   Furd and Stellantis have the same problems sourceing parts.

It is GM's fault when they do not proactively manage their supply chains.  It's GM's fault when they use incoming parts to build new trucks rather than use those parts to repair existing trucks.  It's GM's fault when they totally mismanage the reliability and durability of their trucks. 

 

I suggest selling whatever GM stock you may have because the recent fiascos are going to cause buyer blow-back and reduced future sales which will drag down stock price.

I am in the same boat and I work for GM.  My 2020 hd denali truck has been sitting in dealership since 2/21, 3 weeks now waiting for DEF tank.  I am pissed off.  These are work trucks and people are loosing money when they sit like this.  Is GM going to make my next payment?  It bLows my mind that they are building in flint and they choose not to take care of the existing customers.  I have had 4 GM trucks in last 7 years and this my last one.  I also had a cruze disel that it took them 2years to sort out sw and codes.  And multiple nox and heater element replacements.

Have had 2 of my buddy's with same problem, dealer told em could be months. Buddy number 1 has had his truck down for 8 weaks already. And buddy number 2 has been down for 3 weeks now. Not trying to throw a low blow but that's why I told both ove em that's why I got the L8T gas , less trouble but does have less capabilities. I'll take that trade if I'm not pulling 15+k all the time.

L8T not immune from issues.  BOTH of our 2020 6.6 gas trucks were down, one for 2weeks and the other for 3 waiting for parts.  It happens.  My Duramax also had the Def heater issue last year and was down 2 weeks, no issues since.

These problems are industry wide at this point.  Ford and Ram are having the same issues.  I know it's no help, but that's just the world we live it at the moment.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
