Hey guys. I got an extended warranty "opportunity" in the mail the other day from GM Protection Plan. Obviously my truck came with the 36k bumper to bumper and 100k limited powertrain warranty. I wanted to hear the professional's opinion, so naturally I am asking you guys!

 

Should I purchase another plan or just let it ride on the 100k limited power train? Is the limited power train worth a damn? Any advice you guys could lend would be great. Oh yea, the literature states that if I have between 24k and 36k on my truck, that I am eligible for a certain price. However, I have just over 36k currently. Should I fib and say I have just under 36 to get the pricing? Is there any way they can tell my actual mileage?

 

Thanks for your help!

I went with extended but that was when I bought it.

 

Off topic: I like how you blacked out the wheels on your boat trailer :dunno:

I say don't buy it. I think you are better off putting money away each week in case you need repairs, if nothing major happens you still have the money. My '01 and my wifes '00 Honda run great and we STILL get the limited time offer for extended warranty in the mail. :dunno:

I would look at the fine print to see what's actually covered and for how long. A local dealer here that i almost bought a truck from touted their free extended warranty. To get that I just needed to pay a premium for the truck. In addition the warranty excluded a lot of stuff and had a $200 "co-pay". Since I could replace most any part by myself for $200 or less I passed on the "deal". It would have taken a blown engine or trans to come close to making the warranty pay off.

After 3 years, only "internally lubricated parts" are covered. Her Impala had the power steering pump go out with more than 36,000 miles on the car. They wouldn't cover it. Unless you throw a rod or blow a head gasket, GM won't cover it. :dunno:

      Acceptably cheap tires?

      By Atlas · Posted

      Which one, the AT or AS?   Starfire is made by Cooper/Goodyear but at $85/tire I'd think I'd need to level-set my expectations that they may not even be round 😉 But you're saying they're decent?   I'm already into this thing $1506 in parts, fluids, etc. Totaled all my receipts today. $250 of that was replacing an EGR and MAP sensor that were probably fine, but I'm not going to return the parts since they've been installed. I'm cheap, but not that cheap. I use it, I keep it!   I may or may not make money if I sell the truck at this point, but, that wasn't really the point. And if I billed my time, I'd be hosed for real. My thought on the tires is I "might" put 1,000 miles on before selling it. I just don't want to put absolute junk on it, that doesn't do anyone any good. If the Solus solidly isn't junk, I'll definitely consider them.

      Is your l8t engine bay super dusty?

      I leave mine as is. I'm always a trip away from riding on unpaved roads. Dealer can clean it when they prep it after I trade it in for another new truck.

      I have these on two vehicles and love them. Pepper is one of them 😉

      4WD. Far as I know it came stock with P's and not LT's. Definitely planning to put P's on it, but stock is a 109 XL load rating so I should probably stick within that guideline.   No rebates on anything I can see at the moment. Discount Tire is offering $50 off, but Pep Boys is very competitive on price, and also carries all the off-brand stuff. Les Schwab always wants an arm/leg, but they do good work.   It still has the original spare. Goodyear Wrangler RT/S, thing looks like a tractor tire LOL!! How times have changed.

      2020 Sierra 2500 windows rolling down

      By JohnRoy · Posted

      2020 Sierra 2500 HD (base model) gas engine 4wd.    All 4 windows roll down on their own. Happens somewhat randomly after stop and engine off - when engine turned off, when walking away from vehicle before or after locks activated. Pulled the window fuse F14 Instrument Panel Fuse Block Right; the driver's side still activates from driver's side door panel; passenger and back seat windows activate from local switches on their doors but not from driver's side group of switches. Power mirrors don't activate with fuse removed either (same fuse for both circuits). Problem not solved.    How can they even activate with fuse removed but they are all still opening and can control from each door?  When they open on their own, I can shut them from the switch in each door, but they don't stay closed.    Seems to be activated somehow with key fob; something bumping the key fob in my pocket or just handling - removed key fob and took it far enough away and now the windows stay closed. Replaced key fob batty just in case, no change.    Sounds like some kind of wiring short or maybe electronics. Dealer will first replace electronic control module without checking anything else and I anticipate problem will still exist since their troubleshooting skills are limited to "do whatever the computer says".  In any case, keyfob seems to be activating the circuitry.    Surely I'm not the only one with this issue, but I can't find anything related on the site. What do yall think?   JohnRoy
