Sounds like you need to cancel your order and go pick up a Yugo. You're going to worry yourself to death

Well I am brand loyal. Know why ?  I just bought my 17th and 18th Chevy truck. The LTZ is a 5.3 and the High Country is a 6.2. Am I concerned? Not in the least bit. I've never

Reading this site will make you paranoid but I don't believe some of this but iam not saying there's is a not a problem but I have noticed on this site that alot of people come on here with a low meaning 1-10 or so post count saying they have the problem also now are they here just to bring up the hype (troll) the site on the issue. Me I cant see joining a site just to complain on an issue and never heard from again. Best thing to do is talk to your dealers service manager and see what they have to say and not rely on a forum.

 

Back a couple years ago when the oil cooler line blowing off issue was going on I was in our dealership at that time when this was going on I talked to the shop Foreman which is a friend of mine and ask him about the issue he told me he has not seen any trucks come in with the issue but he did a search on dealers around a 100 mile area and only saw 3 oil cooler line issues but those trucks had high miles and were leaking. You saw so many people come on here with low post counts saying they had the issue also and never heard from again then all the sudden that faze was gone. So don't believe everything you read on here.   

 

Think about it I could join a Ford forum and say my truck just dropped a piston at 2000 miles and it would create a wave of worries on the forum when I don't even own a Ford.

When I’m researching a vehicle I look to the net to research any corresponding problems. It’s how I ended here in 2014. There is a class action lawsuit over GM lifter failures.

Your poll is not going to be accurate because guys come here to complain about their issues.

Nobody hardly ever comes on here to say how great their truck is. 

I've said this many times. The www exaggerates this issue.

The real failure rate is probably less than 1%.

I doubt that class action suit will get anywhere also. They rarely do.

Report back when your tranny starts slipping when you try hauling something and your tires keep screeching due to the tranny slippage and you are barely going anywhere.  First hand experience with this with dodge and their gassers just trying to haul a car. 

 

Also. You do know dodge is suffering the exact same lifter issue in all of their v8's right?  Whats that tell you?  Its NOT a GM issue, but a supplier issue.

If you like the dodge so much why you buying a GM?

 

Because hes a forum troll.  If you search saso's post history you will learn this rather quickly.

Researching a vehicle is like watching the news. You have to watch several different forums.

Well I am brand loyal.

Know why ? 

I just bought my 17th and 18th Chevy truck.

The LTZ is a 5.3 and the High Country is a 6.2.

Am I concerned? Not in the least bit.

I've never had a major issue except a head gasket on a 03 Duramax LB7. Failed at 200,000 miles. Still drove it for a month bottle feeding it anti freeze daily.

Big deal. I was ready for a new truck anyway. 

I've got almost 3 million miles under my belt driving Chevys.

I've been left on the side of the road 3 times in 43 years.

That's brand loyal.

      Gas Prices

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
