Well boys, (and girls as the case may be) we lost another crew cabber today. Me! I took my truck in for service for my ongoing thump-clunk noise and they told me they wouldn't cover it. Said that it was the torsion bars and the wrong sized shocks. They noticed that I cranked the T bars and have after market shocks. They wouldn't touch it!!! I got really ticked off & fed up with the stupid truck! I went out front to the showroom & bought a Silverado 1500 crew cab Z71!!!
Now, I know that I said that I would never buy a Chevy again. I really wanted a Nissan Titan. But after a little research, I found out that they are having some serious problems with their braking system. I wanted no part of that! I really don't like the looks of the Toyotas and a Ford or a Dodge was just outta the question! So I stuck my foot in my mouth and went Chevy. Besides, I got a deal that Nissan could never beat. My NEW rig stickered at $38,000 & I bought it for $26,500! I think it was an incredible deal!!!
I know that I have been a GM basher here lately. And I still think that they are headed for big financial trouble. I just caught the right deal at the right time for me.
I would feel like I was missing something if I didn't check in on this board at least once a day so I'll probably hang out here still. You guys would miss me too much if I up & left! LOL!
Oh yeah. The new rig is none other than Victory Red by the way! LOL!!!!!!!!!

I wonder what percentage of the sale went to the service department for placing you in that mental state. I sincerely hope you are happy ![Thumbs up! :thumb:](./images/smilies/icon_thumpup.gif)

I have been going back and forth about buying a NEW vehicle for a couple months, actually. I have never owned a new one. Always used. See, I have a real "disorder" of some kind.
I never keep a vehicle very long. I always find one way or another to get out of it.
As far as this goes:
And I had an extended warranty on the S-10. Not a GM warranty. If I went someplace else to get my truck fixed, I would have to pay a deductable. I know, I know. I could have went someplace else and just paid the piper in exchange for better service. I just didn't want to drive 30 miles to get my truck worked on.
So NOW I have a GM warranty. I'm not limited to just this particular dealership. And I might just drive that 30 miles for service now that I won't be penalized for it.

As far as this goes:
Well, I HAVE said in previous posts that I love this dealership. I buy all my vehicles there, I buy all of the company's delivery vehicles there, they always help me out at a moments notice if I get backed up on deliveries by lending me a rental or even a used vehicle from their lot! On top of that, the dealership is one of my shop's best customers, the owner has a personal account with us and half the staff buys from me too. My trouble has ALWAYS been with the service dept.Barch wrote:That'll teach 'em... refuse to honor his GM warranty and he'll just buy a new truck from you

Nope. I had taken my chrome wheels off for the winter and got real lucky and sold them right after I bought the new truck.jeff024 wrote:I just hope you didnt give them your chrome wheels and any other mods that could be sold here

This is a greek tragedy ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
The techs at my local dealership will usually work things out to be covered by my non-oem extended warranty.
My warranty wouldn't cover replacing my fuel level sensor, so they just ordered an entirelly new pump assembly with the level sensor built in![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
