From what I have been reading on this site, some '07 NBS trucks have the following common problems:

 

sunroof water leaks

 

On-star antenna water leaks

 

rear main seal oil leaks

 

camshaft position sensor gasket/O ring oil leaks

 

faulty fuel gauges

 

various interior squeaks and creaks

 

wind whistling noise on extended cabs

 

vibration issues

 

Any other problems? Have they been pretty much eliminate for the '08 model year?

 

Please add to the list if there is another common issue that I did not list.

I hope I'm not jinxing myself :D

Just hit 20,000 miles and the only issue I've had and still have is the lint attracting seats. You might want to add that to your list as well.

i only had the oil ring leak and sometimes the gas gauge. I haven t owned a new GM yet that hasn t had at least that amount of issues (including my 04 SS Silverado). :smoker:

It's a huge task... creating a completely new vehicle.

 

Sadly, many of the problems you list are typical of GM first year vehicles (or some first year vehicles in general). I'm sure a lot of work has been done to eliminate most of them for 2008. Luckily I have had very few problems with my 07, but I have had a couple of first year issues.

 

The last couple of years in a production run normally are the best vehicles.

 

Owners of 05, 06, and 07 Classic trucks are probably pretty happy.

Oh yea,I forgot about that little issue,Although mine actually doesn't attract as much as it use to,Plus I have a towel over my driver's seat.

That's not worth noting. I do not consider excessive lint a problem.

No issues here, stick to your own model year.

And what is that supposed to mean? I am asking these questions because someone I know is interested in an new '08. And maybe I am too - that is I will be if/when they make the AFM switchable ON/off by the driver.

2008 GMC Regular Cab Long Bed 4x4 Work Truck

 

 

Gotta love the truck. Period.

 

Ordered truck. Manufactured in Pontiac, Michigan.

 

Not problem free. Came from day one with a bent driveshaft. Replaced promplty same day and with loaner car. One piece of molding on driver bottom window came unstuck.

 

This truck rides beautifully. Build quality for interior is excellent. Paint excellent. Everything seems to fit. No rattles. I did have one rattle that I previously mentioned but it was ICE between my shell and rear of cab.

I mean that sometimes when owners of previous models ask those type questions, and then list them, they can be perceived as stirring up trouble. And GM will never make AFM with an on/off switch. And there is no reason to make it that way.

They will never put a AFM on/off switch. I am sorry but that just does not make any sense whatsoever. The switch between V4 mode, and V8 mode is seamless. You cannot notice it, the only way I know the truck is in V4 mode is when I watch the DIC and it tells me the truck is in V4 mode. I also really like having AFM, becuase I know it saves me fuel. All AFM does to make the truck run in V4 mode is to shut off the fuel injection into 4 of the cylinders.

What I meant was an AFM disable switch.

Just like a disable switch for traction control on many vehicles.

 

 

And AFM does more than just shut off fuel to 4 cylinders. It has to deactivate the valves in those cylinders too by keeping them open during the compression cycle, otherwise the compression of air without fuel would take place, negating any fuel savings whatsoever.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
