The last GM vehicle I owned almost caught fire. I was about to trade in for another GM, the salesman wanted to take it for a test drive. He hops in to start it and yells out the window "Hey! it won't crank." I said; you have to have the clutch pushed in for it to start, thinking to myself what a dumbankle. He says, the clutch is in. I hop in the car to give it a try, poof a cloud of smoke comes from under the hood. Dang, knew right then the starter just crapped the bed. I push start the car, drive to the auto part store and buy starter, drive home and put new starter in. Drive down to the Toyota place and trade for a new Tacoma. Truck ran perfect for 100,000 miles, not even a sneeze. It would be difficult for me not to look at Toyota again if they came out with a full size truck w/ a diesel.

 

I would stay with the big 3 even with a "generous" amount of problems they should not have IF the dealerships were giving us loaners, having an "on the road service bay" to take care of travelers instead of waiting day(s) to get taken care of, and honoring the warrentys without trying to squirm out of doing things or adding little (we don't cover alignments when we rebuild front ends ect). . And what is this 12 month 12,ooo coverage on new parts and repairs,
buy a new truck the parts are warrented for 3 years 36 months --why should the parts they replace ,especialy when we are paying for them , not carry the same coverage?

ON and ON ---service and customer relations will be the reason they take the big falls

 

You couldn't GIVE me a GM product !!! I talked my wife into buying an Impala Sport and man what a worthless piece of junk !!! I traded a 92 Ford Ranger with 300,000 miles for this lemon and quality is job 0 !!! She drove imports Nissan , Mazda ,etc for years without any real problems and this GM just has constant ailments .

 

I would definatley buy a Nissan diesel truck. They have many semi's overseas.

I have owned a 91 nissan pathfinder since 92, bought it used and only ever had to replace the timing belt, replaced water pump once(only cause you have to take it off to change timing belt), and had to replace the input shaft bearing on the transmission last year. It would still pass Kulifornia's emissions and still had the same power as new.

 

I believe for the last two years consumers guide has rated the GMC duramax dielsel the most reliable heavy-duty pick-up truck?? I'm not sure what this is based on,whether its an opinion or they have facts to back it up??

 

Do you know the definition of a GMC truck? It's a Chevy with loc washers.
