Hello to all members! Need your advice. A little of background...
 

I am reaching out to discuss a recent and perplexing experience I encountered while attempting to purchase my first GM truck, and I believe there might be an error in my TransUnion full credit report that led to an unfortunate denial of my financing application.
 

To provide some context, I have been diligently working to secure a GM truck, a vehicle that aligns perfectly with my needs and preferences. Excited about the prospect of making this significant purchase, I proceeded with a financing application, expecting a smooth process given my good credit history.
 

However, to my surprise and disappointment, my application was denied, citing issues with my creditworthiness. This left me bewildered, as I have maintained a responsible credit history and have consistently made timely payments on my existing financial obligations.
 

Upon conducting a thorough review of my credit reports, I discovered that there might be discrepancies in my transunion full credit report. These inaccuracies could be adversely affecting my credit score and, consequently, impacting my ability to secure financing for the GM truck I desire.
 

I am now faced with the challenge of addressing these potential errors and rectifying my credit report to accurately reflect my financial standing. In doing so, I aim to ensure a fair evaluation of my creditworthiness and the opportunity to proceed with the purchase of the GM truck without any unwarranted hindrances.

 

I appreciate your time and assistance in guiding me through the necessary steps to address this matter effectively. Your expertise will be invaluable in navigating this challenging situation and ensuring a fair evaluation of my creditworthiness.
 

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to your guidance in resolving these credit report discrepancies promptly.

P.S. I WANT MY TRUCK!

Easiest way:

Sign up with TransUnion and pull a 3 bureau report.  Credit scores are usually free.  Dispute the errors.  It takes up to 30 days for a lender to respond.  If they don't you're done.  If they confirm ..dispute again.  Now they have to provide written proof to the bureau.  Sit back...watch your credit score rise as the errors fall off.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By teamjnz · Posted

      Sounds like converting will be a bigger endeavor than I was thinking. This truck doesn't have 2Hi like the Suburban did. The Tahoe has 4Hi and 4Lo and a button to turn of traction control.   From what I understand the Stabilitrak uses open diff in the front and rear. When wheel speed is not the same the stabilitrak uses the ABS system to slowdown the spinning wheel(s) to transfer power to the slower non-spinning wheel(s). I thought the transfer case was open too. Being able to transfer power either more to front or rear depending on wheel spin. Maybe I miss understood some information with you saying and power transfer is 50-50. Thanks

      OCI, not when but why?

      My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.
