    GM: Production to return to normal this year as a chip shortage eases

    Their profit has returned to above normal. With a year like 2021 how does that happen?

    Disappointed in ride quality?

    Exactly why I keep coming back to the Premier it allows the most latitude for getting the right mix of options and still retain the 20" rims. I hear these trucks need the 22's to fill out the big wheel wells. They are the same tire height.

    Baiting GMC Dealer

    Just deplorable the way some are acting I hope karma gets them. With GMs record $14 billion profit largely on the backs of the suv buyers they should be very amenable to us as a group.

    Disappointed in ride quality?

    I'm guessing these don't have selectable ride settings. You might try to test drive another HC w/air ride if you can find one otherwise you could take it to another dealer. What tire came on it, some ride very hard. How many lbs. pressure?

    $1100 for a water pump and flush?

    From pictures I saw of the ventilator production area it looked to be part of the engineering building south of Southway Blvd but I could be wrong. This building was linked to Fab 3 by a suspended walkway that has been removed. Fab 3 was the newest clean room we had it was completed in the early...

    $1100 for a water pump and flush?

    You are spot on: I'm right at an hour from all those places. I'm 30 minutes north of Kokomo where the Delco plant was once located. The old plants' parking lots are now full of trucks waiting for parts to complete assembly. Vehicles waiting for chips that were once produced there.

    $1100 for a water pump and flush?

    I cried a little so they knocked it down I'm starting to make peace with it. Trying to set a repair cost limit before replacing the vehicle but look to trade within 2 years regardless.

    $1100 for a water pump and flush?

    It was $190 for the flush and right at $900 for the repair. Pump quote was over $400. Not sure what the shop rate is evidently it varies from gm dealer to gm dealer? They agreed to match the price of another dealer which quoted $888 so they're getting the job. I've really got to find an...

    $1100 for a water pump and flush?

    Last year was the first repair that I've paid for out of pocket in quite some time - decades. ECM last year and now the water pump. Car only has 44,000 miles, no country for old men.

    $1100 for a water pump and flush?

    Just got off the phone with the dealership and this is what they want for a 2012 Tahoe. They need an answer within the hour to be able to get it out today so before letting them do it I'm looking for feedback. It just seems ridiculous when did they turn money to water.

    I believe I'd be so upset I'd just have to name the dealership.

    Wrong message is a poor choice of words. I just like it the way it is but sometimes I lack vision.

    The the trio is a natural grouping, to give one brand it's separate section sends the wrong message.

    Changed my order from RST to High Country?

    If I were going to pay the price for a High Country I'd much rather have a Denali.

    2022 Z71 Suburban 6.2L bent lifters

    I've been watching the number of lifter failures increase since the introduction of DFM in the 2019 pickups. It's pitiful the way GM charges for these vehicles and does the least possible for their customers when they break. General Motors V-8 engines are no stranger to lifter problems. Owners...

    I think it wise to avoid situations that might make me want to grab a gun.

    Don’t pay over sticker!!! Video

    I would rather drive a deal than a vehicle I over played for. It's a free country I just prefer the one we used to have.

    I tried to tell them but from some of the replies I got they just won't live that long.

    Things are proceeding nicely so by the Fall of '23 it should be safe to order.

    Can Additional Manufacture Options/Packages Be Added To A New Vehicle At A Dealership Before Purchasing?

    If it can drone on the highway and interrupt meditation I won't arrive in nirvana. The spirit advises that I pass for internal peace and harmony. I still like my older Hoe she talks to me but just enough.

    Fool me twice?

    As with most failures of any type including this one they know what causes the problem but they don't have a fix that is good for GM.

    Can Additional Manufacture Options/Packages Be Added To A New Vehicle At A Dealership Before Purchasing?

    I'd be interested in what you think of the performance exhaust as an afterthought. Would you remove it or order it on the next new one?

    If you talk to the dealership real nice they'll build you one in the back just the way you want it.
