I remember reading somewhere that somebody said that the Mexican trucks were not have near the number of problems that other built trucks are having. I tried searching but couldn't find anything. I don't remember if it was a full thread or just a post. Anyways, can somebody tell me if this is true? The truck I found is a Mexican built truck and if that is the case, thats great. Also, with regard to the inconsistencies with fuel mileage on the 6.7 between different trucks and if the Mexican manufactured trucks are having less problems, does anybody know if the new trucks that are getting around 17-18 mpg are the Mexico trucks?

I am just curious that with you guys that are getting the 500+ miles per tank and 17-18 mpg have Mexico built trucks and the trucks built in the US are the ones with the poor fuel mileage. Does this sound logical? Does anybody have anything to back this up?

 

My truck has been great. Mexico build March 07. I don't get 17-18 mpg though. IIRC the main things were better paint, fit and finish, less warranty issues. I remember the thread or post you are talking about. I have also read it elsewhere.

 

mine was USA built in missourri and i have been getting 17mpg and i have not had any CEL's or anything. I have not had the recall done yet, but so far so good. it was built in may.

 

Mine was built in Mexico in April and I am having no problems, yet. I haven't reflashed ever but plan to on this latest recall.

 

Mine is Mexican-built, Nov 2005. Only problem I had was the HVAC door, which was replaced by Dealer. Truck has been great, I get around 19.5 mpg on highway, doing 75 mph. My truck now has 31.5k miles on it.

 

Mine is Mexican,04 .5 so far good, freon was low, door seals replaced,pump is noisy,43,360 miles ,overhead says 18.7 mpg

 

most of the 6.7 i have seen to have problems have been std trans make in mexico

 

Make sure your sig/profiles are filled out so every one knows what you drive!

 

Mine was built in Fenton, MO in April and no problems after 5k miles.

 

mine was built in mexico- only issue was a tsb on weather stripping for the driver side door-if you call that a problem!

 

Thats what mine is and no problems what so ever even with all the mods.

 

Thanks guys. That makes me feel better that you guys are not have problems with the Mexican built trucks. Hopefully I get the truck soon. I wanted to see if there was any correlation with the better fuel mileage and trucks built in Mexico. If anybody else has something to say, I would appreciate it.

Also, another question to go along with this. I really want the interior with the center consul but can't find it unless its in a Laramie Mega-Cab. Anybody have a quad cab with the center consol?

 

KMK:

I think I've seen your name somewhere before..........maybe.....Have you ever been on the Avalanche forums or other truck forums?

All dual rear wheel trucks are built in Mexico.

St. Louis only builds singe rear wheel.
