    Broke down 300 miles from home.

    Truck is finally home. Drove the 2.5 hours back from the dealer with no further issues. Everything was covered under warranty. I still need to deal with GM for the trip interruption costs, but thats already in the works.

    2027 Toyota Tundra Hybrid vs. 2027 Chevy Silverado 1500: Which One Should I Buy?

    Silverado or Sierra with one of the new V-8. From a content perspective, better seats, refreshed front end, are nice but I'd guess that new engines provide more opportunities for content

    Broke down 300 miles from home.

    Update #2. The good news is they are working on my truck, the bad news is they've never done this job in one of the newer models, and apparently its more complicated than the previous model. Best case is late tomorrow afternoon. I'm 3 hours away from the dealership, so not picking it up...

    Broke down 300 miles from home.

    The dealer had all the parts on Thursday, and I had been told the truck would be ready on Monday. When I spoke to them yesterday afternoon, they hadn't even started working on in. The service manager was out, but the person I spoke with said the truck should be worked today, so that I can pick...

    Why is Super Cruise availability limited to 1500 Short Beds?

    My guess is that there would be testing and certification for incorporating super cruise. Even testing a different chassis is not a government requirement, GM would still likely do it for liability reasons. The standard bed on the 1500 is such a small percentage of sales that GM may not see the...

    Flock Camera AI Screw-Up Led to My 90-Minute Police Traffic Stop Driving a Press Vehicle

    Fortunately I've never had a dealership install a tracker on my vehicle, but from the number of YouTube videos I've seen about it, it seems to happen more than it should. I agree it needs to stop

    Flock Camera AI Screw-Up Led to My 90-Minute Police Traffic Stop Driving a Press Vehicle

    I watched this the other week. The guy that got arrested was amazingly calm about the whole incident. Be interesting to know what the dealership is going to do to make things right.

    It's possible he said transmission cooler lines. The video is a litttle garbled and I haven't seen the work order yet. I spoke to the shop yesterday. They told me they are still waiting on one part that will hopefully be in today.

    Broke down 300 miles from home.

    It was a cool move on the dealers part. I was a bit uncomfortable leaving my truck with an unknown dealer 300 miles from home, but them sending me the video, and getting my truck into the shop earlier than expected set has gone a long way to setting my mind at ease.

    Broke down 300 miles from home.

    Just got some good news. Dealer got the truck in today to inspect. The transmission controller lines need to be replaced. The lines have been ordered and should be in tomorrow. Dealer actually sent me a video of the underside of the truck. Everything will be covered under warranty.

    It should be covered under warranty. I've already laid out some cash for a rental car to get back home. I'll call the dealership tomorrow and see if GM is going to reimburse me any of that cost.

    Broke down 300 miles from home.

    I was driving back from visting my mom in NJ and still about 300 miles from my home in NC when I felt a shudder in the transmission. Pulled into a gas station. Truck bucked when I backed it into a spot, and the back up camera was blurry. I got out of the truck and the tailgate was covered in oil...

    Modern Truck Tailgates Compared: Useful Innovation or Just a Gimmick?

    I've been happy with the MultiPro on my AT4. I didn’t think I'd like it as much as I do at first, but after using it I'm sold. I not doing any towing so damaging it on a hitch hasn't been a concern.
