It definitely has a branded title.  I've gone through the Carfax and that my main reason for coming here.  I've never bought a buyback vehicle was so looking to see if this was a known issue, something GM could be trusted when they say it's been fixed, or best to stay away from.

 

I realize a buyback would come some with risk, just trying to minimize that risk OR find out that I need to get out now.  Also, have no experience with diesel and would rarely tow but it would also be a family hauler in addition to 2000 miles a month on the highway.

Selling later on can  be a real ****** as well with a branded title as usually it takes a cash buyer so keep that in mind unless you plan to run it til it drops.

Does it say lemom/buyback or rebuilt or salvage on the title? 

Sounds like you are doing your best to research so good luck with it.

There are some GM techs on here who may be able to find out what was done/fixed. Hopefully one will see this and check for you.

The title is not branded from GM. The coolant control valve was replaced twice, once at 35029 on 10/25/24 and again at 45264 on 5/15/25. The VIS does not state that it was a buy back. Hope this helps.

The Carfax shows it has a lemon/buyback disclaimer.  Trying to do my research and the more I do I feel like it's better to avoid the situation altogether. It's a good discount they're offering but the furthest I can get them to go on extended warranty is out to 120,000 miles (Currently at 45k) of Platinum coverage.

Thank you for the information!  Being new to my diesel research, would this be an issue I'd want to avoid?  It's been replaced twice and I worry it will continue to happen or impact/cause further issues down the road.  That's obviously big enough to warrant a buyback but my (Iowa) dealer is saying the buyback laws in California are very relaxed compared to elsewhere, but I wonder if he's doing that to make me feel more comfortable.

I work in a GMC Buick dealer and from what I see coming in frequently, I would stay far away from any of those 3.0 trucks. They are extremely difficult to work on requiring cab removal for most turbo, valve cover , EGR cooler repairs. The coolant control valve has been a constant source of trouble since that truck came out.The emission controls are another constant headache. Lets not forget about the transmission issues. Only you can decide if the fuel economy is worth the headaches and inconvenience. Also would not own one out of warranty.

This is what I came here looking for.  Thank you for your thoughts.  I believe I'll be passing on this truck.

      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.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
