prtofcali Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Why do most people in here have some sort of problem with there truck?? I purchased a 2005 and Im hoping that the problems were addressed in this years and that the 2003-2004 was the year that they had to work out all the kinks. Of course the tranny is a big issue but why? Is everyone getting on them to hard, too many mods to the tranny, I cant see why you all have the problems. I am very picky about all the noises that I hear as well but everyone has me a little worried that I am due for a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan06SS Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 The truck was bulletproof for 22k miles... its when I started modding that issues started to appear. The trans is weak, but if you're gonna leave the truck relatively stock you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevygal Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 I know, I'm starting to get a little paranoid now too. I'm listening for noises and different "feelings" in the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan06SS Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Also remember... people in general complain. You're not going to see too many posts that say: "my truck is running great! just thought I'd let everyone know " For every person that posts a problem theres 100 members who don't have any issues at all.

Ron's SS Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 A little bit of good news... I just turned 50K miles and have no problems per say... the tranny seems fine and I get on it all the time... but I'm mostly stock (for now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimB Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 I turned 63,000 miles with no problems other then people running into my truck and someone keying the crap out of it. Now I put my radix on and I have a few minor bugs to work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6.0ss Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 You are not going to find posts with people praising there truck,,,, because they expect it to work on a day to day basis.. People come here for help when things don't go the way you expect them to go. Everyone on here offers some knowlege that will give a solution to the problem... If there is no problem... we are out driving and not posting on here!!! I have 25k miles... every issue i have had is modification related. I kinda asked for it when I started into it.. I kissed my warranty good by and said that I would wing it and pay for the consequences.... So really..... the truck is awesome.. if you modify it.. be ready to deal with the consequences of doing so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 I'd be happy with the, "my truck is running great...." part Key word being "running." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Yeah this is not the 'show and go' crowd on this forum, most of us don't have the common sense to just leave well-enough alone! Mr. P. (currently running ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthSS Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 "my truck is running great! just thought I'd let everyone know 4 real And even though Id love for it to be a 700hp monster, the probs you guyz seem to have after modding are scaring me away a little. I doubt I will do any more than shocks, sway bars, intake and exhaust...cause my truck is my office---if it is down, so is my paycheck. However my billett grille is going on tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 my truck is running pretty good, i have had a few problems a few mod related a few not , but hey thats what a warranty is for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurbochargedBerserker Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 The stock parts of my truck are all running great. They've all moved on to other peoples trucks except the MAF, pushrods, rockers, and injecters which are all comfortable running around in the garage Trust me -- everytime I get discouraged with the 600awhp monster, one quick drive eliminates the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwest94 Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 I've never really had any problems with mine, and mine is stock. I had the steering shaft go when it only had 900 miles, but that is normal with these trucks. I have never had any problems with noises like I've seen others on this site have, and I have never had anything brake or blow up on me. I've been very happy with my SS. Not sure if it matters but I dont really have that many miles on mine either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
