• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Well crap!!!!!

Just lost the rear gears in my truck...Truck is 7 months old and only has 6000mi on it. Seems GM underfilled the rear diff, and the dealer didnt do thier job by checking all fluids durring the per delivery inspection. To add salt to the wound, when the rear let loose, it took out first gear in the tranny.:gaah:

GM is putting a new rear axle under it instead of rebuilding it, but wants to rebuild the tranny..So i'll have a new truck with a rebuilt tranny:banghead:.

To make matters worse...This is my work truck, and the loner they gave me is a pickup,(mines a dump), and it doesnt have a hitch on it, so I cant tow any equipment to jobs.

Just had to rant...I feel beter now!!!
 
Just leave it at home, jump on the Spyder, and head to Spyderfest. Now that will make you feel better!
 
:gaah: I'd jump in their crap over not getting a big enough truck to stay in business... Call the customer service hotline and ream them out! :gaah:

Ive been on the phone with GM a few times this week. In my area GM goes thru Enterprise for there loaners, and for Ins reasons they dont have hitches on em. I'm more ticked off about the rebuilt tranny. If the truck had 20K+, ok rebuild it, but not 6k...
 
GM builds trucks... Tell them to pull one off the dealer's lot for you...
Rebuilt huh... They'd better give you the extended warranty on that sucker! :gaah: Don't you just love it when they cheap out on you?
 
done with american cars and trucks

as a family we all drive asian vehicles. scion, toyota, acura, and nissan, and i couldn't be happier about it. my rangers were very good trucks, and i would buy another one. my frontier is also very good and gets much better mileage. j m 2 c' s

The type of work I do, a toyota/nissan wouldnt have a chanch of lasting 6k. I'd like to see a 'yota pullin 12k up hill..That and they dont make a 1 ton dump.

Your rite...That is sad. I do own a Hyundai, but my wife owned it before I met her. I have owned several GM trucks(pick ups and dumps), and had over 100k on all of em without and major issues. I guess my luck ran out on this one. Will I buy another??? Yep!!
 
Sorry to hear of your issues, definately a Frustrating Situation for you

:lecturef_smilie:Hope they get it all figured out to your satisfaction sooner than later:pray:

To the original poster, I'd fight for a resolution that appeases you, you shouldn't be forced to settle for a rebuilt......

:agree:
 
I own a Nissan and was parked in the uaw parking lot doing volunteer work for them and they asked me to park it on the street because it was foreign made, I told them it was made in Tennessee, by hard working american folk, it got a little heated and they told me to Park it on the street. So I went to move it and wound up parking it at my home.
 
I haven't owned a GM since 1980 when I told them there was something wrong with the transmission on my brand new Camaro. Took it in four times while under warranty. They kept saying "Problem not found". It finally blew three weeks after the one year warranty was up and I had to pay $$$$ to have it fixed. They lost a customer for life.

I sincerely hope you have better luck.
 
I'm a little curious about the comment about Asian cars. Do you feel the same way about German and Italian cars for example? I know the Japanese and Koreans have auto plants here in the US, which of course employ many Americans. So then I'm wondering if it has something to do with Asians.

HDX,

I had planned on going on the troop ride, I believe in August, that you attend; but, if this is an Asian thing I guess I won't show up b/c I wouldn't want to upset you or others who might be there.:dontknow:
 
If you only bought Vehicles from American Companies, The American companies would have no incentive to make quality vehicles, Remember the big 3's products in the 70's.
Bye the way where is the Spyder bilt.
Competition is good for keeping everyone on their toes!
