Can the Manager give you a number to call at GM?

 

Does anyone know of a department at GM that handles cases like this?

 

Barring that, can you get all the documentation pertaining to your visits at that dealership regarding this issue, and take it all to another dealer? We are not confined to the dealership that we buy the truck from as you probably already know. And the dealerships do compete with one another for business, in sales, service, and warranty work.

Hey, no. My dealership seems to be completely useless - I haven't been able to get them to do anything. For the last few months they were "waiting on parts" because supposedly they had ordered the val

That is the plan for tomorrow, I threw my tractor on my trailer and I am going to tow that tomorrow to work, sneak out for a couple hours, drive it for an hour or so and dump it off at the dealer for

After our argument today I doubt he's going to be helpful to me at all lol. Yes, I have everything documented and that's my only other plan of action which is to take it to a dealer about 45 minutes away from me to see if they can give me a hand on it.

The dealer I'm dealing with now has a reputation of being TERRIBLE to deal with, (now I find out about it lol) but apparently the one down the road might be better, so I guess I'll give them a try. That said, I shouldn't have to, this should be a fairly straight forward escalation process. *shrugs*

Damn, you've got to be beyond frustrated. It looks like you have documented things well. Not sure where you reside but Lemon laws exist for a reason and that documentation, should it become necessary, will come in handy.

 

Not sure which manager you're dealing with but if it's the Service manager and he doesn't call you back as promised with a clear plan to make it right I'd speak with the General manager. Then the owner if that yields no fruit.

 

After that it's Defcon 5. Banging the drum with GM corporate. I'd start with the CEO. Contact a Lemon Law attorney if that option is available to you (and you've satisfied the requirements). Banners on a trailer parked in front of the dealership.

 

My comments may seem like I fly off-the-handle easily. I don't.

Lol me neither, I'm a really agreeable guy but this is just getting to the point of being ridiculous and I'm beyond frustrated. I feel like I've tried everything and gone out of my way to try and help.

 

I haven't reached out to the general manager. I have been dealing with the service manager. I believe if it's anything like the service department will be fruitless as well.

 

I live in Canada, we really don't have much for lemon laws, but I do have the ability to deal with CAMVAP (which I'll avoid for now as it really seems to be a biased system) and just flat out taking them to court which I guess is an option and fortunately for me my wife works at a large legal firm so access to lawyers won't be an issue.

 

I'd prefer to just solve the issue, so for now I think my next best course of action will be taking it to the next closest dealer (about 45 mins from me) to have them look at it and see if they can come up with something. I mean, if it comes to going Def-con 5 so be it, but I'd really rather not.

 

EDIT: I appreciate the kind words though, it reassures me that I'm not being unreasonable here. My good nature makes me feel guilty after an hour or two of cooling off lol.

Well it doesnt work. I have no idea how to attach something to a post . The bulletin number you should have them check is 22-NA-182, document ID number 6147440. It pertains to the problem that you are having. Hope this helps.257 is much too high.

The picture provided in the TSB isn't very good:

But I'm going to have a better look at it sometime this weekend and see if I notice anything.

Follow the path of the cooler lines and make sure they are not restricted or kinked in any way.Don't keep driving it with the temps that high. Fluid will degrade and loose all the additives  and lubrication properties put in it to protect the transmission. Just check it yourself and stop dealing with that crappy dealer.

I'll do that this weekend, and see if I can find anything. I appreciate it a lot.

You're right, it's hard to tell. The most obvious possibility is what I circled. But I'm really not sure. Please let us know what you find. and where exactly it is if you do find it.

I'm actually looking at the alldata description for removal/replacement of the cooling lines and they look to be all metal lines on my application. I'll follow up with what I find.

Not sure where/what that hose is from just that picture, but that kink is a problem no matter WHAT line it is for. It's killing flow!

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.
