They have to respond in 14 days from the date of service or its a default judgement. Mediation is also required in my County which by law must be done within 60 days. 

 

 

Let us know how that all works out for ya.....  😆

I work in insurance litigation, and small claims usually results in either being paid cause it costs them more to defend and send someone to appear, or they may just call and try to negotiate at like 50% to buy out some risk.

Crutchfield Tech was so kind to spend time with me, on '23-'24 Denali & AT4 Bose Dash Speaker Replacements. I shared pix of my dash, as they Do Not have any documentation yet, of the re-freshed GMC Denali/AT4 dash.

I already have the "A" Pillars with Tweeters off, these have 6.8 mfd. Caps on them as a crossover.

Should have the Kicker Tweeters here tomorrow (#46CST204). There are several good choices of Tweeter brands. I chose these with a Titanium Dome vs. a Cloth Type for more brightness.

I have the Pioneer 2.75" 2 way # TS-A709, (on backorder) that another posted had installed were excellent. It is said NOT to use the crossover that comes with them. Must be already one in line, so to double up, yes with mute the signal badly. Thanks for that tip !! (BTW, that person showed that 2.75" speaker, did have a Bose on the Magnet, where the Door Speaker I took out did NOT).

The Crutchfield Tech is giving the pix I took this am., to his staff, for an updated publication. While we spoke, I found out on my Denali, that the Dash is in fact, Two sections. From the windshield bottom, full width, the dash section from there, over the speaker grills, including the heads up display and defroster vents) is one section molded plastic, to the front half of the dash cover.

I gently pulled up on the underside of the driver edge speaker grill (as the "A" Pillars are removed), and it popped right up easily. As my Pioneer's are not here yet, pressed it back in place.

Pix I sent to Crutchfield attached. Due to file size, with send the other one after this.

GM  "A" Pillar Tweeter Pic.  I measured 1-11/16" dia. in the cavity the tweeter snaps into. Do even a 1" Kenwood or others should fit.

Hate "Reverse Engineering" what should have been a Great Product Option  in the first place.

Do you think the 1” Kicker will fit? Do you have any pics of the Kicker you have installed?

    • I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here. 
    • My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.
    • Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken. 
    • Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
