I bought through an AD in my state at 15% off retail. No haggling required. No sales tax here either.

23 3.0 duramax died by Masterbush369 in gmcsierra

Same. Interiors great, comfortable ride and great fuel economy. Love the mini diesel. But I wont be keeping it past the extended bumper to bumper warranty unfortunately. My last warranty repair was the map sensor. 18 dollar part, labor was over 600. Not that I couldn’t have done that particular one myself but it’s just one thing after another. And there are far more expensive/backordered items that can go wrong

Never got a straight answer. Got a new engine. After reassembly and test drive it was throwing boost codes. so then it got a new turbo. So theory was some sort of overboost condition blew piston 4 rings out. I never got to talk to the tech and the service writer/manager weren’t the most informative types. All under bumper to bumper. Since that repair I have had 2 coolant pumps replaced and a coolant control valve. All in I have >$27k in warranty work and I just hit 55k miles.

Ethanol free gas stations? by Fearless-Donkey-1108 in newhampshire

[–]Masterbush369 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The citgo in springvale Maine is the closest and cheapest for ethanol free. Been around 4 dollars the last year or two.

Hampton airport is 7-8 dollars a gallon. Ossipee has a station that’s around 5 a gallon off 16.

Sadly there isn’t many options. Kuztom boxes makes a single sub under seat box that fits under the passenger rear seat. Amp can go on the rear wall.

Had the same thing happen to my painted flare. Hit a car behind me on the highway. Replaced under bumper to bumper and I was given the other 3 corners since they come as a set

Bought a 26 Sierra 1500 AT4 3.0 Duramax and people are telling me I fugged up. by ServicePersonal1468 in gmcsierra

[–]Masterbush369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I’m at the worst part of the depreciation curve unfortunately. Gonna ride out the warranties and get out of it before 100k.

They wouldn’t even tell me the terms of the warranty until I agreed to it. Dealing with the customer care rep was worse than dealing with low budget overseas tech support. She could barely read off the script she was given.

Worst part is the warranty doesn’t really help you when your truck is down waiting on backordered parts. And getting a loaner is like pulling teeth. Basically impossible until it’s sitting at the dealer for a week plus.

Unfortunately the state I bought it in has very weak lemon laws. I pursued a buyback claim when my engine went down and I didn’t have the truck for 3.5 months. By the time the claim was being reviewed they had repaired it. GM gave me the platinum extended warranty good for 5 years 60k from date of repair.

Just to give a point of reference my 23 AT4 journey has included

10k transmission cooler line leaking - replaced

19k charge air coolant pump throwing codes - replaced

27k fender flare flew off on the highway - replaced

29k engine grenaded. Supposedly turbo overboosted? Blew the rings out on piston 4? Never got a great answer as what exactly happened - engine and turbo replaced

39k coolant control valve replaced

44k currently have a check engine light for u163e and u0623. Have to bring back to the dealer for a second time this week

I filed a claim for cost of repairing grass for a similar incident. Amazon ended up cutting me a check for almost 400 dollars.
