2008 Black Silverado Extended Cab Regular Bed 4.8 Liter Engine 8 Cylinders 2WD Line-X Bed Liner and some Leet alarm system that disengages the starter when its broken in to.

 

Pics.

 

And yeah you see that theres a panel thing that like fell off today... it was kinda coming off this morning when I left for school and then when I went to my truck after football it was almost completely off... it was like someone had pulled it off..

 

Here are da pics. I tried to get the sunset in there, but i didnt do that good of a job because its blocked by a house and the reflectors in my lights were being gayz0rz and ruining the pics.

 

Edit: Had to add pics. I am done now. Enjoy :D

Looks good Michael! Shame about the trim piece there. Maybe if you put up a polite but persistent fuss at the dealership about it, you can get a free oil change or two out if it. Enjoy the truck!

That makes no sense that the molding would just fall off... You could just get some 3M double-sided tape and stick it back on after you get the old tape off, but I'd bring it to the dealer, seeing as the truck's only a few days old.

Finally you put the pictures. Nice truck looks just like mine. Regarding the molding looks like some one pulledit.

Yeah my mom called the dealership this morning and talked to the guy that we worked with.. he said just take it by on Saturday since I have football all week and a game on Friday and that they will fix it and not to worry about it... but that was BEFORE it fell off.. /sigh oh well.

 

 

At first when i was looking at trucks I wanted black for sure.. then it was black / white.. and then when i was buying I only wanted WHITE.. but since this one was the only 2008 they had in the style/trim/LT1 etc that I wanted, i accepted the black.. and it also had a dent in the middle of the bed which they discounted the price a little for. The dent doesnt really bother me since I have the liner :D

yeah.. i was thinking the same thing... but i was wondering if they served any purpose at all besides looks?

 

Prevent door dings, and keep the doors from looking like one giant square. I'm a fan of the no molding look on the GMT800s, but on the GMT900s, the lack of a body line looks too empty without moldings.

yeah i figured it was to prevent dings and stuff.. thats why i was probably going to keep em on there.

 

hopefully they can do it right for once.. it kinda feels like my truck is a freakin USED one. im kinda disappointed.

Don't let the little things get to you. Most new vehicles have a few bugs that need to be worked out at first, but once those are gone, it should be good for a long long time.

You just got your expectations up too high. I went through the same thing this summer after I did all the work to my truck. I built up what it would be too much in my head, then when it was done and the initial "Yay it's done!" wore off, I was kinda disappointed, but I didn't know why. It looked how I wanted, but when I looked at it, it just didn't do anything for me. Now that it's been like this for a couple months, when I look at it, it's 'mine' again, and every time I see it, I just think to myself, "damn I have a good looking truck". :D For the first time since I've had it, I can't really think of anything I want to do to it (other than stuff I can't afford). It's a really really weird feeling for me. :lol:

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
