  1. These are so funny.... Santa Clops
  2. More Cowbell need more cow bell..........
  3. Took truck back to dealer today. same binding. and tech pressure washed the paint off frame and didnt even repaint. They now say they found a tsb from july 06 that states to change the g70 gearbox to a g80 gear box. and they have a different pump with a valve thats on backorder for 6 months. This is getting old.
  4. Trucks not even 5 months old and already my gear box, then my ps pump and now the shaft. As if the dealer wasn't giving it to me the whole time.
  5. Yeah they havent done the pump yet. They just did the gear box. The first time I took it in, I told them I thought it was the pump. The pump had over flowed all over. They checked it and said could not duplicate the binding. They said it was noisy but within specs. Also that when its cold pressure would build and its normal to have some resistence. I brought it back again and again and they said the same. Finally I had the tech come out and showed him on the spot. So he said gear box not pump. Picked it up and later that night and it was doing it again binding and tugging to the left also the steering wheel was off center. Brought it in on Mon. and the tech rushed over and jumped in the truck and I didnt even have to leave the lot to get it to bind. He was like "oh yeah, yup there it is boy I'm sure glad you could get it to bindecause I couldnt." .When they finfished with the gearbox it was binding on them and they still realesed it to me. He said I could get to bind to the left but not the right so I didnt change the pump. I get it back today or tomorrow. And I did call the writer and its getting washed, and some fuel with the next oil change free. we will see about the under hood mess when I recieve the truck. Thanks Alan! Got To Love It.
  6. Yeah your right . I just had them change my oil and they reset my engine hours that pissed me off.
  7. Got my truck, they say they changed the gear box. My steering wheel is off center and its pulling to the right. Fri my truck started to do the same thing binding. Just took it back today Monday. Tech comes out before the service wirter even talks to me and says he couldnt get it to duplicate the binding and since its doing it now he thinks its the pump. While he is telling me this Im turning the wheel left to right and its binding both ways. I dont get it.When this is resolved Im done with that dealership.
  8. Diesel, is it valve overlap?
  9. Yeah I think I need to switch. Maybe there just not happy with there job so they dont give a sh*t. I try not to get upset with them but when they say things like its normal or within specs it just gets me even more fired up. Its normal huh? Do all Silverados do this then? No...just mine but its normal right? ......(8:05 am here)and I should be getting the its all done call shortly. Im tired too. We had a stop work meeting last night so I could only pick up a 3 oclock job (3am-8 am). I got about an hour sleep last nightbefore I went to work. Kids get out at 12:00ish today and I have to be at my dispatch hall by 4:30 pm to get a 6 oclock job (6pm-3am).....wonder when the dealer will call.......... oh well...thanks for hearing me .
  10. So im not the only one huh. I think I should try another dealer and be done with it.
  11. Nice I agree. I Like alot.
  12. I also had them bring a rearend tech out because of the clunk I kept hearing from slack in the driveline. There told me they were busy and I would have to bring it in another day. I said .I dont think so. finaly after argueing with them that I should not have to bring my truck in again and again and again and again. To get the issue fixed. Well when you decellerate 2nd to 1st and off throttle and wap it a little it clunks. Backlash, understandable but I figure the tollerance could be off a little in the rearend. But he told me thats its normal. Does every truck do this I said. well ahh he said no. So why is it ok for mine too? He says well I know what I would do is pull the cover off and check for shaving and check the tolerences. Then he said but I know how these guys are they wont want to do that. Can you believe this sh*t. Sure enough the service writer says well we will regrease it and it will hush the problem. they refused to pull the cover and check. Well if I get it back and it still does it then im going to start going over there head. districk manager, writing letters to GM, better business burea... maybe it will work. I have bad luck at the dealers.
  13. Yes, but what a hassle. I told the writer that all the tech had to do was act like your in traffic and have to do a fast parallel park. The action of being on the brake and turning quickly caused this binding everytime. Three different techs. Im just a little bitter because I work nights so getting up early screws me up good.
  14. THIRD TIME TO DEALER. Took my vmax to the dealer today because the exhaust was rattling like a tin can and the steering was still binding. The service writer called about 2 hours later and stated the exhaust was done but tech could still find no problem with the steering. So I went down there and had the tech come out to talk to him. So I waited and waited while the service writers smirked and gave dirty looks then he finally came out. He was very condensending and sarcastic he stated that he was the second tech to check the problem and found that on could start ups that a high pressure built up in the pump and caused resistence....I call . So we went for a drive and what do you know I got it to do itbefore we left the lot. But for shits and giggles we continued down the road as I kept telling look its binding . WTF you should have seen the looks on the service writers faces when we returned and the tech stated that I needed a gear box!!!!! . I hate going to the dealers its a bunch of bullsh*t.
  15. Just curious on whats the best software to use for editing? If you use photoshop what version?
  16. Just wondering if you guys have the same issue? When I roll down a window on my trucks dash and headlights dim alot. Weak GM alternator? Whats it going to be like when I ad some subs? Do I need a better battery (optima)?
  17. My truck MSRP was 42,000 I got it for 31,000. With 0%
  18. I was thinking about trading in my truck for an 07. I thought the 6.2l was availble in the max pck but its not. The drivetrain is the same. And Im leaning towards the GMC more then the Chevy. That grill looks a bite better to me right now. I called the fleet manager and shes checking around to see if she can find one with the same stuff I have now. LT3 or SLE3 max pck 4x4 with dvd. If the price is pretty close and only puts me out a couple-a I might do it. I get the GMS price so we will see. What do you guys think? Would you trade yours?
  19. Good thing my daughter wasnt anywhere close when I clicked that link. Thanks for the heads up on the xxx!
  20. Well took it to the dealer and they were baffled????? "Did you put fluid in the powersteering pump?" "We are all scracthin our heads here cause we cant figure how it was so full?"! Should I have to add fluid to my brand new truck? I knew it was over full and the only thing I can think of is the genuises at E-Z Lube added it when I had the oil changed. But Im not even sure there that stupid. A new truck wouldnt need it and those guys really arent trying to check the wipers, wash the windows, vaccum out the car, check the tire pressure,coolant,wiper fluid,air filter and the power steering fluid. There like oil only ok great . Dealer stated pump is within specs but is whinning a bit "we just couldnt get it to bind?" Idiots. So they also had to order a heat shield assembly for my driver side as the tech never put all the bolts back on when they did the cattilitic converters. Sounded like a tin can with a penny in it rattlin. Oh and I also requested them to upload any new updates availible for my truck and he said I dont think there are any!!!! WTF I hate that SH**. got to love it.
  21. Glad to see someone uploaded this its really funny. R people really that idiotic..... "Turbo rotary with pistons and headers"
