Might as well get this off my chest...I found out Friday late afternoon at work

 

Don't really know how this going to affect anybody, but the latest word (thru the Store GM) is that it is a definite...GM will be filing for Bankruptcy by June 1, 2009.

 

I know alot of you are truck shopping, getting prices, etc...

 

Just keep this info in the back of your minds.

 

We'll just have to keep our fingers crossed that we can all pull out of this somehow...it doesn't look too promising right now, for Chrysler nor GM..............

The very reason I am wanting to get my deal on a new Sierra purchase done this week hopefully. #1 no matter what happens it'll be covered under the Govt. warranty provision (whatever that might be), #2 to take advantage of current rebate and incentives that are available. Yeah those offers will probably get better in the Fall but the particular truck I am after will be harder to locate also. So I'm buying now.

A GMC 4WD 1500 Z71/AT in Steel Gray Metallic Extended Cab Std. Bed with the SLT CONVENIENCE PACKAGE and Blackwall tires. I've found plenty in a 500 mile radius of my dealer but the combination of options isn't as I want. Lots of Summit White, Onyx Black to be found but myself and the dealer have only be able to locate one that's 125 miles at another dealer with the options I desire.

I am not really looking forward to the president's homies working on my truck.

 

GM has no mechanics working directly for them in dealerships. :thumbs:

On a side note is was my understanding a Judge in the Chrysler case ruled they could continue paying for warranty repairs and rebates offers. So hopefully none of us will ever have to deal with the Govt. on this. But its a little piece of mind knowing there would be an alternative if something did happen that kept the dealers from preforming any work.

Too bad this didn't happen before the government got involved!

 

Yeah, if they had, they just may be going through C7 and total liquidation by now. Would that be better?

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
