  2. Did Gm Pull Their Head Out Of Their A$$?

    in The Automotive Industry

    Posted

    It may be a mistake on my part answering this, seeing as to how you seem a bit hostile, but I will take a shot on clearing it up for you.

     

    GM had/has a lot of greedy people who were in the biz to just make the big bucks for themselves. There was a lot of corruption and misappropriated funding, and not too many people who had the most control had interests in the greater long term good of the corporation. Not gonna start a pissing match with you on the quality issue either, but some GM vehicles are filled with flaws, recalls, and cheap material. For example, the Silverado. Front diff problems, steering shaft, tailgate cables, cluster issues, rear window seal, and even a class action lawsuit on their motors because of piston slap. That right there is enough to say something about the quality IMHO and I am a GM guy. Always have and always will be. It's not the trucks fault nor the robots that built them or the people at the assembly plant. It comes from the designers and engineers and the people who give the ok to put it all into production without greater testing and make the decision to use cheaper materials for cost benefit. I can go on and on, but to make a long story short, GM had their head up their ass is a figure of speech implying they couldn't/can't see all of their problems and/or fix them and needed gov't assistance to help dig them out of their own grave.

     

    Thank you for answering the question for me couldnt have done it better.biggrin.gif

    well since i decided to just keep my truck and not go up to a 3/4 ton diesel i decided to spend a little money and buy some new wheels.. i totally love the new look except i think it needs a 2 inch drop now. but i need to find a kit that will allow air bags so i can still tow my car on the open trailer behind it. anyway here's a picture. 24's with a 295/35/24 tire fits perfect

    hmmmmmm.... first thing i noticed were the screws that hold the cladding dont look like the originals, second was the ac controls...not digital, and third was the single disc cd player....

     

    could be a clone.... but it could not... so just pointed out what seemed odd to me.

    just measure how long the truck is from the wheel back if your exiting near the back , add a few extra feet (x2 because its dual) and then you'll know you'll have extra. how are you bending it ?

     

    We have a auto shop here on pendleton they got all the tools for bending, cutting and welding.

    i have ran into them not coming off before. i usually just break them off. its like they get rusted in or something. i usually just grab them with a pair of pillars and pry them off. they wont be any good after that so i hope you dont want to use them.

     

    Yup i figured that out today so i had to get a new set of plugs.
