This sucks. Now i have to take my truck to the dealers, YET AGAIN!

Today i found that the inner front right fender well, has a small soft skirt attached to the rear.  That skirt is cracked and looks like shnits. Also i saw that the drivers ext cab window rubber is cracked for the THIRD time.  Thats 5 ext cab windows i'm going to have gone though on this thing.

:(Since dealers do not show parts pricing for warrenty work, all i know is how much the labor hours are. They have done 102 hours of warrenty labor work on my truck, totaling up to (using the ?/hour the dealership would have charged me otherwise) over ? , JUST IN WARRENTY LABOR WORK! I can't imagine what the parts would have cost!

For those who are dumb founded how i could have this much work done on my truck, here an incomeplete list...

1-- five ext windows

2--two repacement seat mechinsims

3--two whole main fuse relays

4--blower motor

5--window wiper wires, motors and fuses(X2)

6--loose trackbar(repack, and install)

7--two auto shiftlever boots

8--And the KING- Reweld on BOTH doors, repaint, and then FOUR more appointments just to get them to close right, and seal.

Stop the insanity!! :o

....and a Partridge in a pear tree!

Just kidding.You'd think that at least one of those reoccurring problems could be classified as a lemon law case.

BTW,you forgot about the oil lines.

Oil lines! I knew i forgot something. Another days work.  So many problems, so little brain room! :biggrin:

Lemon, i wish. They need to be "major safety" related problems. All mine are is a bunch of little "annoy the piss outta me" problems! LOL

Wow!  I thought the silverado was bad with all of the trips to the dealer and the 6-7 recalls on it..

Good Luck in getting everything sorted out

Hey,

Well actually we were sent 5 of notices about the recalls.. Plus its been in the shop 3 times because the right lower door speaker rattles horribly..  It was in the shop at Xmas for 3 weeks because of a accident..

All the rest of the times have been little things like u-joints, noises, etc..

We had no regrets on the truck since most of the work we didnt have to pay for *good ol' warrantee*

That truck still was the best truck we ever owned *next to the K5 Blazer.. *

It will be turning the 100000K mark soon and the truck ran as great as it did when we bought it..

Maybe keep the truck...go to a new dealer for the repair work?  You still sound more calm than I would be-

I would, but i like these people. Its just the dang truck. Not their fault.  There good enough, we even trust my fathers vette with them! :o   Well... almost. :biggrin:

Man, you really need to get a girlfriend, a job or maybe both.  Cause you got WAY too much time on your hands if you take your truck back to the dealer for that.   LOL  ;)

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, the key seems to be with the half tons that if it has the Z71, then it definitely has the two speed. What got me was that the two speed AND the lower geared towing package option could not be chosen together the last few years unless it was mated up to the 6.2. Want the 3.0 duramax and 3.73 tow gears ... nope, can't get the two speed transfer case ( neighbor son realized that after he had bought his used 3.0 half ton .. where the frick is the low range ? ! ).    I am still unsure which truck series, the half ton or the HD truck that the original poster is referring to for sure other than yes his question is in the HD section of this forum but that doesn't guarantee the question got asked in the right section.
