I really need some guidance
This is kind of long, but I am so frustrated with the way things are going.

 

 A month ago my transmission started shifting very rough from 1st to 2nd and back again, now it had been doing it for way too long just not that bad, so I brought in to a shop to be looked at. I was told it was a bulging situation and it would have to be rebuilt. It was rebuilt ($4,500) and I was told to bring it back in two weeks for a check up... day 13 after a couple of errands I start up the truck and its running rough and the check engine light is blinking.  I bring it in for the check up and engine light, they tell me it needs a tune up (plugs, wires, and ignition coils $!,050) and we proceed and  have it done. I drove it home, all is good,  it sat for a day, and the following day I ran some arrands and the same problem arises again. I am now told it's a bad injector... OK replace it... doesn't work (no charge since the tune up didn't fix the problem) and they  now think its a computer problem. Two computers from the junk yard don't take, now a computer from the dealership ($500+$178 programing) installed truck runs for a couple of pit stops and the same problem happens again, so back to the shop. It's another injector failure, I say replace the remaining five and be done with it. While working on the injectors they break a harness clip and order a replacement harness  and once installed, with the five remaining injectors they give me my truck back (no charge) and before I can make it home it happens, yet, again. Bring it in now they think the rest of the injector harness' are bad and they are replaced (after shipping the wrong one and shipping delays $150) and once again a half a mile later all the same symptoms return.
Now I take it to the dealership just to get this over with, they scan the computer  and discuss the situation with management, and tell me they  won't touch it, because of all the work that's been done by LCT, they don't want to get involved. They hand me the printout and I return  to the shop and he tells me that is the same codes he pulls up and takes it back in. Now I am told the main harness needs to be re wrapped.
This has been over three weeks.


Has anyone had a similar experience that I can draw from to get this rectified?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

      Trim level custom/pro

      By Another JR · Posted

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.
