I'm sure a GM dealer would use it as an opportunity to deny warranty coverage as skytop1 would probably agree. A nickle here and a dime saved there might cost you more in the long run. Course as always the choice is yours. |

Well Stated Schlog!!!! your I pretty much said the same thing about a month ago and almost got booted from this site. ...........On to my '07 Silverado Problems I ham currently experiencing are; 1. Drivers side airbag produced a malfunction message. 2. Front passenger side wheel sometimes produces a low air message, but there is no air leak of any sort. Both issues are being addressed this saturday under warranty coverage. Otherwise This truck has had a new AEM brute air intake added, fantastic responsivness. Line-X spray bedliner, still working on deciding which brand locking bedcover to acquire. I am also looking to install new stepbars - Im tending to like the GM accessory on that decision, just searching for a decent nondealer price break. Just came back from a 7 1/2 hour nonstop trip from KY to MD, and this truck was simply powerful, from uphill shifting (4 shift is smooth and even) to down hill solid braking. Extrmely impressed with how this truck handles. Also the interior is always spacious and comfortable (LTZ) (no leg cramps) although my wife putting her feet up to the right hand corner of the window/door jamb inadvertantly tripped the heated seats button on the door manifested a funny scene to behold. No complaints so far!

Replying to: lionclawz (Aug 27, 2007 7:13 pm) I'd appreciate you keeping me posted as to what they find with your driver airbag, I'm guessing that it is the locking tab that holds the plug into the firing squib on the backside of the airbag module causing intermittent connectivity. Once the plug falls out of the squib (  1/8" out)a shorting clip falls across the firing posts and creates a short circuit thus rendering the firing circuit dead. Please keep me posted as to what you find out. As for running boards.... man I spent countless hours trying to find one that looked like the GM offerings, after deciding I wasn't giving up that much loot, decided to purchase a set of Aries straight oval tubes from Ultimate Auto Accessories. I wasn't sure at first if I was going to be happy with them but now I can honestly say they look good on the truck. Also, they are placed in the correct position that they are actually useful for climbing in and out. Previous curved step tubes I've owned never seemed to be placed in a beneficial position that your foot dropped to while stepping out. You may want to take a look, I paid $325 delivered. I too have Rhino Lined the bed and installed a Fold-A-Cover which locks fore and aft - which is great for long trips with lots of luggage. To date we've put 7600 miles on the truck and absolutely are in awe of the power of the motor (5.3) and silky smoothness of the transmission, often pulling a 4000 pound camper. We went last month to the Smoky Mountains, a round trip of almost 3000 miles and averaged 16.7 mpg! I was floored as our last truck guzzled the stuff pulling the same camper at 11-12 mpg. I've owned GM trucks for 23+ years in some form or another and have had a very good run with them. That is why I'm compelled to tell my story when given the opportunity, and no one is paying me to say that. The only one I never cared for was a 1985 S-10 stripped down 4 cylinder which had absolutely no frills and no power. It's all good! |

Replying to: schlog (Aug 21, 2007 4:09 pm) I had to waste yet another day going back to the dealership to REPAIR The REPAIR. Yes, this is what happens at the GMC dealerships these days. There is simply no excuse for these kind of screwups and customer abuses. Don't bother replying because you've already made your incredulous acrimonious position quite clear to everyone reading these boards.
