My 2020 Chevy HD Duramax truck was the most undependable truck I have had in over 51 years of driving Chevy trucks! wearing out the brakes in 32000 miles was the last straw! The Story does have a happy ending....
This is why I Call it the ROCK>.. th-cam.com/video/7ayriMeuSJU/w-d-xo.html
I would have bought a Ford
This is a great video. I hope it does
@@toyota420xp Back when the Tarus was new... I bought one... Every time you drove it for 8 hours on a hot day you had to put a transmission in it... Ford screwed me big time on it... Every one makes mistakes... It's how you handle the problems that count.. Ford screwed me... Lone Star Chevy took care of me...
Imagine working hard your whole life and makin enough money to finally be able to buy a brand new shiny truck, only to realize you 2005 work truck is the better truck.
THAT! I learned that the hard way unfortunately. Never again!
@@19jody72 If i had the money for a brand new truck i would buy something older and make it badass. Like a hellcat engine in a square body or something like that.
@@TheMcDonaldsMaster2420 Yeah I bought the wife new stuff, I've never bought me a "new" truck, I always build mine so I know what I've got and less problems. We bought a brand new blazer off the lot, 2 days later transmission was slipping.. took it back up there.. well we couldn't find out what it is.."just drive it until it tears up" is whT they said. Do you know that transmission slipped the entire time we owned it! Traded it in on a new Nissan, 40k miles later.. engine locked up! I don't work on thw new stuff to much, to comically. Had a 6.0 powerstroke, NEVER again on those ..they are junk! I went through 3 sets of headgaskets with studds, 5 oil coolers, and a turbo. New stuff is designed to tear up or just cheap junk parts
@@crawdaddy019 yes sir.. I didn't do the headgaakets on the 6.o, I didn't have a way to get the cab off. I honest think the shop that did it ground on the block and created a low spot. After the 3rd set, it never puked, but built pressure in the degas bottle.. which means something still.was going on. I sold it and told the owner qhT was going on.. he drove it for two years and.sold. He never got.on it though..lol it. I put a stage 2 turbo, 175/30 River City Diesel injectors in it and a hot race tune..I drove it a little hard but not on kill mode all the time. I learned on that one..can't have a hotrod Diesel unless you have deep pockets..deeper than mine!!
@@19jody72 sounds like a pretty nice rig. Hope it’s somewhere out there still lol
When my dads 16 Colorado started having radio and screen issues gm told the dealer “known problem do not attempt fix” and just screw you ,gm doesn’t care about customers just money , he went and got a Ford
My `18 F 150 is working very well. Bought it on black friday of `18. 36k mi. and it`s fast, gets 21mpg (when it wants to) and doesn`t use a drop of oil between changes. 2.7L engine.
Yep I got pissed off with my last chevy cause the inside kept falling apart and the dash was cracked in everyone know chevy of the body style and gm knowing If the air bag goes off it could throw shrapnel at people inside and they never recalled it so I sold it and bought an f250 and don't ever plan on buying another chevy and I was all for chevy until then
True that my friend there’s no more Customer Service anymore is like by if you want if you don’t want to somebody else will buy😡
My co worker bought a 2019 z71 it was using a quart a month from day one. Dealer said this is normal for a new vehicle. WOW. He traded up to a ford and ate the difference. It does not use any oil between changes Hmmm .
My Buddies truck. First new vehicle he ever bought has been dubbed the super pooper. I know that every manufacturer has lemons but Ford is definitely not exempt. Trust me they aren't that good either. If you're willing to put up with all the hassle just get extended warranty from a reputable company. They'll eventually get all the bugs worked out.
Sounds like that manager really went the distance to make it right for you. Best wishes on ROCK 2.
I have been done with GM since 2005. I had a 2003 S10 pick up. After a couple of years the security system would just randomly come on and leave me stranded. Local dealership wasnt much help. They reflashed the computer and that helped for a few months. After I got stuck at a gas pump for 30 minutes because it would not start was the last straw. I got on line and found out this was a common issue and there were thousands of complaints about it. So basically GM knew about it and chose not to do anything about it. I joined the law suite on it but nothing materialized. I then vowed to never own another GM vehicle again. I have a Toyota and a Nissan parked in my driveway now and they have been great.
I had a 99 S-10 used but still under warranty. It would occasionally balk when started. My guess was they used the same junk crank angle sensors as the full size trucks. A dealer replaced the starter instead. It was super clean so I think they really did. It did not fix the problem of course.
The pinion seal was leaking and a different dealer close to me changed it. Good thing I checked the level at the house. It was dead even with the seal, they never topped it up.
It was a pretty good truck. When a fluid change with the expensive GM fluid and a little Lucas didn’t help the hiss in all gears from the transmission I had no sorrow trading it off.
I had the same issue multiple times with my 98 S10. I would unhook the battery to reset it. It would still take 15 minutes. I’ve been with Ford ever since. No issues since except wear items
Toyotas and nissan are great i have a nissan frontier with 600k miles on it and a tundra with 450k miles both are good trucks rarely have any problems out of them
I love my Nissan Titan.

Good luck with the Rock 2. I’m glad he stood up for you with Chevy. Wish there were more people like him these days 🇺🇸
If a lot of Chevy dealers would be mandated to do what Lone Star did they could easily become the #1 small truck brand in the U.S., provided the engineers and assemblers dud what they're supposed to do.
And GM needs to fire the bean counters and marketers who think plastic is the holy grail of vehicles.
Seems like a common story lately with vehicles from across the board, everything is now built "not" to last at all!
Unfortunately quality is a thing of the past, good luck with the new truck. 🤞
Its mostly due to all these laws and regulations for emissions on new vehicles that just make these vehicles run like crap
There's a huge difference between planned obsolescence and outright poor design. Planned obsolescence would be designing a vehicle to last only around 3-5 years and 80,000-100,000 miles. Poor design is building something that can't even last as long as the factory warranty without numerous major issues.
We're now in a time where the average vehicle price in this country is $40,000. Preowned car prices are getting higher and higher, as people are unable to afford new at these prices, and with newer vehicles not lasting as long, there are fewer preowned vehicles on the road to get traded in. Now we have 72, 78, and 84-month financing so people can get the payment down to a manageable level-only to end up with a poorly running or non-running vehicle with a year or two left on their note. Eventually we'll start seeing ten year car notes, and most of them getting rolled over when the vehicles wear out and people are stuck buying another one while still on the hook for a third of the financed amount.
This is not just a GM problem, it's spreading to all manufacturers. Design poor quality vehicles, inflate the prices to make the shareholders happy, and inflate them even more to prop up the dealers with warranty and recall work since the dealer margin is usually only enough to pay salesperson's commission. Price everything so high that the finance company (conveniently owned by the manufacturer) makes enough to both get a healthy profit and still pay kickbacks to the dealers and finance managers.
The automotive industry is headed for a collapse.
@@peytonmars806 you would think so, but the government will just bail them out again. I don't have any brand loyalty anymore. I have bought American made cars for most of my life. It's to the point now that I research everything I can about any truck I am interested in. I have found that when it comes to dependability, none of the three companies are in the same ballpark. I won't buy them again until they are. They either give you what you want, or go broke, I could care less.
The current mentality is that you LEASE an expensive new vehicles. If it's a POS like a friend's Mercedes turned out to be, you dump it back on the car company as soon as the lease expires. After 3 years, the repair bills are often as much as a lease.
@@Duke_of_Prunes Unfortunately, you are correct. BMW and Mercedes cars available in the USA are essentially all lease cars. Also unfortunately, no lease on any vehicle, of any class, from any manufacturer would be suitable for myself or my wife, as we both drive way too many miles for a lease to be an economical solution.
I averaged just over 20,000 miles a year with my 2002 Accord, and I drove my 2017 Fusion Hybrid over 26,000 miles in 2019 (fortunately fewer in 2020 and 2021 looks better).
If we tried to lease, we'd be paying out the nose for excessive mileage.
They really don't want customers to invoke the lemon law. I know
The HAT makes this video shine, just like ROCK II.

The hat is true the rock is trash..

Did you get that hat from my grandpa in Texas cactus Jack hats
@@codybarger7931 no.. It was given to me by a customer in new mexico..
What a awesome old school guy. Congratulations to you.
Good luck with the new one! You've been through a lot!
Thank you! So far so good.. I only have 85 hours on the engine but it is a really nice truck to drive ...And I hope it turns out to be a good one...
and that's why I still drive my 1991 GMC 1500 , hello from Canada. It would be cheaper to buy a used Kenworth .
Yea i hear you i miss my 93 Chevy truck. Had almost 300k on it before the transmissionMgr going out. But overall great truck and had a blast with it.
These old Chevy 1992-1998 are tough and nails...but anything newer are problematic...the old square body Chevy are even better...had several of each...
@@garyeger4622 yes i love the square bodies i had a 76 K 5 blazer and i loved that damn truck. Still pains me to this day that i don't have it anymore.
@@garyeger4622 back when they built them right! I have a 97 suburban, 190k, all original drivetrain going strong. The 4wd even works. Only paid $2100 for it 4 years ago
Still driving my 93 chevy 200 k still running good,but if I buy new it will be ford
This is why I drive a 70 Chevy 454 ,4 speed, 4 wheel drive and yes it has points keep coil in dash all analog no computer. 👍
And you got a stick in the floor for the transfer case which the new ones don't.....and on the new one's that fails all the time! Older is better and stronger!
@Beep Beeep yeah a car payment is the easiest thing in the world to get! I'll pass.
Unfortunately nobody makes a truck anymore. I had to go.full commercial (33,000GVW) to.get a reliable truck. Sad thing is that it gets better milage than the new 1 ton pickups.
Good luck to you. I've been loyal to Chevrolet my entire life, along with my entire family. I purchased a 2020 Silverado April of 2020, and shortly thereafter it started experiencing numerous electrical/electronic issues, and I couldn't make 20 miles from home without the check engine light and the information display flashing messages at me. The truck would slip into limp mode, and I would have to turn around and head home. The dealership couldn't figure out what was going on, and GM was no help whatsoever. Long story short, I ended up cutting my losses with Chevrolet, and buying my first Ford truck, I couldn't be happier. When you spend the obscene amount of money they want for these trucks, they better damn well be flawless as far as I'm concerned.
Don’t toot that horn too fast. You don’t think Ford has serious issues too? Look it up. I hope you motor down the road trouble free.
@@johnm8961 Yes, it's pretty much a crap shoot these days. Like I say I've been loyal to GM my entire life, and when you spend 60 thousand plus on a new truck , you expect something reliable and trouble free. I gave them several opportunities to make it right, and the support just wasn't there. I've got a 1998 Silverado that has 500,000 miles on it, that I still drive every day. It was a sad situation when I had to revert to driving it, because I couldn't rely on the new 2020. Google least reliable trucks for 2020 and 2021, and Chevrolet and GMC are number one on the list. If the Ford fails me, then it will go down the road too. In the meantime, I've been very happy with it. Take care man.
@@michaeltucker9993 I agree completely. I had a 2014 Silverado. That turned out to be a bad year through the whole lineup. It was a nightmare. New A/C. New electric steering. New engine. Luckily it was warranty work. I went with another 2020 Silverado. I am hoping. But you are right with prices and you should not have to hope.
Funny you say about other truck. I have 95 2500 Silverado for work. Old reliable and I can do almost all repairs myself. Those days are gone. Good luck to you also. But I should not have to say that with any of the trucks.
Good luck with this one
After watching this my 2014 Silverado crew is still serving me well but will go to ford in the future
Ford isn't much better with the death wobble.
@@juniorthird7952 - I haven't had a single issue with any of the Fords I've owned.
2017 ford f350 super duty diesel 80k brought home since brand new. No problems! Just basic maintenance in my own home garage or in the Nevada desert while camping🍺😀...and of course I bring the used filter and rotella t6 synthetic oil to Walmart.
I hope your new Rock II is tough and dependable as Rocky Balboa. I feel for you I loved my 18 Silverado until about a month ago. I'm fed up with GM and my Grandma and Uncle retired from GM!
I have been a Ford man my whole life. I have always had pretty good luck with them. Very few problems and when it's time for them to work they always did it very well.
Gm ranks worst in the HD segment now they have been little by little giving up on the segment the last 10 years speaking as a truck driver most of the hot shot drivers run now are fords and rams they no longer offer solid front axles on the hd which is important if you haul heavy loads ram and ford still does offer it on there heavy duty as a option
I’ve been a Ford man my whole life too and I’ve never had major issues with my truck and it’s a 1999 F-150! Must be a Chevy thing.
I was a chevy guy forever
My 2008 chevy was the worst piece of shit ever
I now love my 2019 f150
One thing about dealer is, majority of people are actually willing to help people as much as they can within their power. Oftentimes it's the manufacturer who is screwing people over.
It’s the Manufacturer that causes the problem. It’s the dealership that ends the relationship. Or if there real good saves it. My father will never buy another Chrysler product after the way the dealership treated him. Family has been driving Chrysler’s since 1952. Ended early 2021 69 years of loyalty gone. Dad’s broken. Feels betrayed.
@@Ian-of9oi That sucks! What's he gonna get next?
@@Ian-of9oi Same with me but it was Chevy. This was 3 years ago. Since then, I've bought a RAM 3500. My daughter bought a Jeep Compass and my other daughter bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee. My son in law bought a RAM Rebel. My sister bought a Jeep Renegade. All these new purchases would have been GM products had my Chevy dealer not screwed me over on a repair.
I disagree. The mfr. cuts corners. The dealer tries to scam everyone who comes thru the door. It's a lose/lose situation.
I bought a Honda. I mistakenly thought that since Honda makes a good car, perhaps the dealer would have a reasonable reputation. I was wrong, should have investigated complaints against the dealer before deciding which Honda dealer I would buy from.
@@robj2704 It really depends on the dealers. Not every one is that way. True they can scam everyone walks in the door. But after a certain time the low reputation will certainly drag the scams down.
When it comes to warranty repairs, dealer actually doesn't mind it at all, as it's being paid by the mfr., and oftentimes no questions asked unless it's a brand new model year or super uncommon failure. If the dealer is having that much trouble fixing his 20' chevy. More than likely it's an uncommon and complex issue with little to no help from the mfr.
Like Steve stated, another GM dealer helped him out, bought the 20' back and put him in a brand new truck. I am certain that he didn't get scammed after walking into the door. And I am sure hundreds of other dealers are willing to do the same thing to help a customer out. Don't let one bad fish spoils whole pond.
The best thing you said was, “ I may be a fool for doing this”. I wouldn’t buy a Chevy if you paid me too.
I own 2 Fords currently have owned many chevy’s and a few Dodge’s. There are good and bad in all of them. Luck of the draw!
They all break.
That is funny .I just done the same thing I sure hope this one is a good one ..good luck to both of us
I own a Ram, and I’ll say good luck to you brother. I know how it can be
Very glad you got taken care of. I've driven GM trucks all my life. Something happened in the last 10 years or so much for the worse. What used to be the, far and away, longest lasting, most reliable truck brand has gone to garbage. I've never owned a Ford but there's a F250 in my garage now. I still feel weird about it but I just ran out of patience with GM.
Agreed....I'm a GMC owner and enthusiast. Daily driver is a '97 2500 4WD with a Vortec 5.7. 260k and no mechanical issues. These new rigs - especially the diesels - are expensive junk. Unbelievable amount of people have had injector and tranny problems. And when they take them in for warranty work, the dealer holds the truck hostage for weeks on end. Can't believe folks are still buying these things.
Buy old and restore to your liking. You’ll get way more for your money.
Damn right!!!!
I’m I have an old 7.3 that would disagree..lol
No matter what brand you buy there will be lemons, it's just the luck of the draw I guess. I've never had a problem with my chevys but it's always a possibility
I’ve been a Chevy man all my life never had any problems with them for 200,000+ Auto and get another one they were always good to me sometimes you get a woman in life
Your lucky
You are very lucky. I rent allot of vehicles and I have been stranded four times. Three were Chevys (one a pickup) and one a GMC. Considering I have had fewer GM rentals than Ford, Dodge, Hyundai, Jeep, Mercury, and Nissan. Now for personal vehicles, I stopped buying GMs after 2002 because every single GM I've had built since the early 80s have been inferior in quality to the other vehicles I have owned. By the way, in the 70s I was a devote GM fan.
Yup traded one turd for another .. good luck 👍 if see you on side of road I'll pull my ram 3500 over and tow you to dealer .. lmao 🤣
No matter the brand name on new vehicles I've learned you're going to have issues. Pre 2006 no matter what brand you liked, it had at least one reliable model for you. Too much computer junk on newer ones has destroyed reliability and longevity. When my wife's 2016 Toyota Yaris had the front CV shaft go for the THIRD time at only 110K miles and kept having a random engine die at idle issue they couldn't fix, I got rid of it. ''Newest'' vehicle I own is now 31 years old. At least when they break, I can still fix them myself and part's aren't expensive.
I hate to hear that you basically got treated like crap. Then you got where you needed to be to start with. Good for you!
Note, I own a 2005 RAM 2500. It's the best truck I have ever owned. If this chevy don't work out give RAM a try.
When you don't use that sunroof that's when you're going to have a problem because the seals are going to dry rot and you have stuff build up in the channels around that sunroof so it's better to use it once or twice a week clean off around the track and then close it
Also run water down the channel to make sure it drains out the bottom of the truck.
@@lrich8181 Well, in Texas it's probably less desirable, i rented convertible for Dallas little getaway and it was impossible to have it down in midday, but in Sacramento the pan. sunroof was open every little drive
That's crazy i went through the same issue with my 17 Nissan frontier. I went through 6 sets of brake pads 4 sets of rotors along with replacing the master cylinder and every other brake component on it. Then at 40k miles the rear end goes out like really WTF.
No problems with the sunroof leaking! Yah right!🤣
2002 Chevy Silverado Diesel Here!..250,000 original miles👍
My 2001 Duramax was a sweet truck... Problem is it would have about 1.5 million miles on it by now :)
Get a Tundra, everyone I ask that owns one is very happy with theirs.
They also have GM engines.
The problem with those tundras is horrible fuel mileage
@@dwsinclair5282 tundras do not have a GM engine 🤣 where on earth did you get that crazy idea from?
@@rono3045 yeah, thats the downside of having a 10.5 inch rear end with 4.30 gears. Great for towing, not so great for fuel economy.
Tundra cannot tow what that truck can.
Your issues seem to be an issue across the board. So very sad to see the lack of manufacturer support. In most cases the dealer wants to make it right but the manufactures tie their hands. I was a lifetime Chevrolet customer until GM decided to not honor their warranty and stand behind my 2015 Silverado LTZ crew cab. As a result, GM has lost my business forever and over what? Arrogance and ego! I now drive a 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn and so far, it has been an exceptional vehicle. In my opinion, the Ram is miles ahead of anything else out there. Time will tell if this holds true (25,000 miles on it to date). Congratulations on the Rock 2. I truly hope it works out for you and congratulations to your dealership for his commitment to customer service and satisfaction. GM needs to climb down out of their ivory tower in Detroit and re-evaluate who they are as a company and what kind of products they are conning people into buying. You can only live off of your reputation for a short while until the idiot customers catch on!
Thank you for the update. I hope the Rock II works out for you better than Rock I. Please keep us updated on your new truck.
My 2000 7.3 power stroke manual trans just hit 425000 only thing I done to the Injun is replace the water pump
Not buying that. Given the age it would need injectors and glow plugs. I think you are a Ford dude trying to blow smoke. All “3” and the other “2” have problems with all their vehicles. Trucks or not.
@@johnm8961 Wrong I work with a guy with an 01 6 speed and all he has done is 1 glow plug. He has over 400k
@@johnm8961
You sound like a gm guy wishing he was blowing smoke!!😉👍
I got a 2002 F350 7.3l with 435k. Only repair has been a water pump and an alternator. Best vehicle I've ever owned.
Awesome I had a lot of slack on my post people don't believe I have not replaced my fuel injectors
That’s a nice looking truck, I have a 2014 Silverado that’s been a good truck for me. It’s also an LTZ model and has a sunroof that’s never been opened. Good luck with your new ride! Looking forward to seeing you with Brian and his shop!
You should open the sunroof and put some I think Vaseline on the rubber seal to prevent it from being damaged and leaking from drying out. I think Vaseline is still safe to put on the rubber seals and gaskets they use in newer vehicles..
@@icantsaywhat Spray Silicon is better. I wouldn't use Vaseline.
@@boydmerriman ok thanks. it’s been a while since I had a TTop car. I forgot what I use to use.
Good luck with the 2021.
My last good GM truck was a 2002, and that one rusted away from the bottom up. By 2005 there wasn't much left of the lower body panels. Three after that all had worse issues.
I now drive a Ford. I'm not sure I could ever buy another GM truck again.
If i could by a brand new 2002, I'd do it in a heartbeat even with the rust issues, but I wouldn't give 2¢ for a newer one.
The guy who bought my 2002 is still driving it, although there's not much left of the body but the 4.8L and 4L60E is still going strong at over 300,000 miles. (It had 265k when I sold it in 2008).
The GM cab is much more comfortable than the Ford with a lot more room all around.
I believe they had a brake recall. Sounds like you just have a crappy Chevy dealership.
Your new Rock2 is a beautiful truck. That silver is a nice color should be easy to keep clean. If you don't like it by the time you get to Kentucky I can give you my address to where you can drop it off. 😉😝 Just kidding. Have a nice trip and enjoy the Chevy.
You are lucky to have made it 32,000 miles. I had a 2010 chev 1500 with 5.3, 6 spd auto. I had it 15,000 miles & had 45 computer print out service sheets of problems with the truck. 5 motors, 4 trans, 2 complete wiring harnesses, 4 sets of brakes, 2 sets of air conditioning systems, new rads, 5 rear ends, 2 complete front end, 2 frame replacements. After the last engine replacement, got a call to come pick it up it is fixed. As I was coming in the dealership, I noticed a tow truck with a truck on the back of it. Came in the manager's officer & was told the tech who put the motor in forgot to check if it had oil in the engine. It died on the test drive. That was the final straw. Everybody heard me in the whole dealership. I sued GM Canada & they finally cut me a check for the truck, & lawyers fees. I know exactly what you were going through. Take care & God Bless.
Said goodbye to my 2018 Chevy 1500 over a year ago. Been trouble free in my 2020 Ram bighorn ever since.
Now ,start watching for the rust around the quarter panels of the bed!!!!!!
Just go drive a new F150 or 250
No comparison theres a reason why Ford outsells ALL other brands COMBINED for like 30yrs straight
Also Dodge is outselling GM as well
Lifelong body tech and i drive and take apart all brands
Im seeing "made in CHINA" in the Genuine GM parts boxes
Good luck with your new truck. If I was a betting person I'd bet you have a better than a fifty percent chance of getting rid of the engine problem the old truck had. The down side is that I'd bet the brake issues will continue unless GM changed their brake component supply vendor.
Sorry for your troubles. I bought a 2019 Roush Nitemare that was sitting on the showroom floor for about a year. Found out via you tube that buyers have a hard time getting loans on Roush products because lenders will not value the truck like a Shelby for a bunch of reasons. If the truck is built for example; on a XL vin production number, that is what the banks value it on regardless if it has a supercharger etc. etc. Long story short, I used a chunk of my retirement money to buy it and the AC clutch went out after 2800 mi. I'm now thinking of possibly getting an extended warranty before the window closes. Never again!!!!
Chevys suck. Get yourself a RAM. You’ll never buy another brand.
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Hopefully you have good luck but these new Chevys are rolling ( or not) piles of crap. Don't believe that, check it out for yourself. The least reliable full size truck made today. Problem plagued.
Thanks for sharing. I've been a chevy nut for years but lately I just refer them as the lesser of 3 evils.
All your commenters saying “ buy a Ford” need to realize Ford contributes more money to the anti 2nd amendment fight than any other truck builder. Yes that’s right. Ford don’t like gun owners. I’ve been buying Fords most of my life but won’t be anymore. Do some research. My dad and older brother both retired from Ford which is why I supported them.
Sir. Just stumbled across your video You are a good man for giving 5hem another chance I don’t know if I could after being screwed over by different dealerships on a new truck. When you spend almost 80,000 dollars on a truck it doesn’t matter who makes it that thing should be dam near perfect for at least 10 years if taken care of. Not falling apart and in the shop more time than you actually have it in your driveway and usage. Good video. Also you might want to open 5he sunroof and put some Vaseline or some type of seal/ gasket protectant to prevent the seal from drying* out and the sunroof starting to leak
I'll give everyone a second chance...But it is all they get...
Ram is the only truck that is currently improving and has been for over a decade. No issues what so ever on my Ram 2500. Bought it new in 17.
I literally just done the same thing! My 2020 was god awful. My 2021 seems to be a lot better! And it wasn’t gm. My dealer took care of me. Young Chevy from owosso MI.
Curtis Garber for me Caro Mi.
I was employed by a Chevy dealership in my area for almost 20 years and I will tell you from experience any GM vehicle made after 2005-07 is absolute junk. The newer it is, the worse it is. I left Chevrolet because I got tired of getting chewed out by customers because the car or truck they just spent a small fortune on was breaking down in less than a year. Cars with only 20 or 30k miles needing new engines, brand new trucks with constant electrical issues. Rolling piles of garbage. Forgive me but YES you are a bit of a fool. You traded one turd for another. How much time and money did you lose with "rock 1"? And the aggravation with loaner cars and arguing with the manager and service dept.... If you're going to spend that kind of money, find a decent 90's Chevy (gas or diesel), and rebuild the motor and transmission. I wouldn't take a new Chevy if you gave it to me for free. Just my opinion.
Sounds like my last Gimmick Motors truck. Spent most of the year I had it in the shop. Lemon-Lawed it and moved on.
Gimmick motors lmfao made my night!
well the bad part is we have no mechanics left you got Parts Changers so they're just guessing and putting Parts on trying to fix the issue if the computer can't tell them what's wrong with it they're lost as a Goose
Nice truck Mr. Steve. I like the hat also.
I only buy lexus and Toyota vehicles. I am going to buy Toyota tundra 4x4 platinum. Reliably
Wishing you all the best with "Rock II" Sometimes it just takes the right management help to get things done, as they should be done. Glad you found the right man to help you, and stand up for you against Chevrolet.
In 2003, I bought a new gmc 1500 V6. Coming back from Key West, it stopped running on the middle of the seven mile bridge at 7 PM. It was scary. Cars, buses and trucks screaming by me at 70 MPH. Luckily a Sheriff drove up behind us and towed us off the bridge and I called a tow truck To take us home. This was the third time the new truck failed. I had it towed to the Gmc dealer in Florida City and traded it for a Suburban. Kept that suburban for 14 years. It was the best vehicle I ever had.
Keep us updated, you deserve some happiness after all those troubles.
I can’t find the “my Toyota broke down” videos. Does TH-cam censor them?
Knock on wood my 2019 trailboss has been solid so far
It’s 2019 give a car 10 years to fully judge it
With a 2 inch lift, dual exhaust, and Rancho shocks how can you lose! That’s one tough truck.
I will share this video, and won't be buying a GM vehicle.Thanks
I had a 96 with the 6.5 diesel. Best looking piece of sh#t I ever owned. Short version is it needed an injection pump under warranty. Chevrolet didn't want to. After multiple dealers and false accusations it cost me enough to buy it again in cash. And it was gone. Ford 7.3s replaced my diesel requirements, and I won't buy a new truck ever unless I become a millionaire. I have a 2013 Chevy (5.3 gas) over 200k, like you, only 1 set of pads on the front, even then only because a front bearing gave up at 150k. My version is I like Chevrolet for comfort on the road. Chevrolet warranties aren't worth the paper they put it on. If you get a good one and don't need warranty service you're good. If you need warranty service you a screwed duck. They will lie to your face and won't care. I've spent my money based on that. GM will never see me looking at new anything because of their dirty warranty deals. Best of luck with the new one. I totally understand the loveit/hateit deal. Thanks for sharing
Should have bought a mopar....
Chevrolet is goin down the toilet soon.... for good
Awesome Steve《☆》Great story. Good to see the manager living up to his advertisement👍😁🌴◇:*:◇🌴Greetings from⛾Florida🤳Brother😎🎱☮🔊🖖👍
Thanks 👍
I always seem to see a lot of new Chevy trucks with one headlight or tail light not working,
Drove my GMC 15 years now in a Ram hope to get that many out of it,but at 70 may not live that long. Ha Ha Ha
Sorry to hear that. you know what GM stands for dont ya...... Garbage Machines
I have a 2019 Sierra Denali with the 6.2 l and i2 I'm having brake issues. It started probably about 5,000 plus miles ago, and presently I'm at 26,000 mi. There's a pulsation that you feel in the truck not in the brake pedal and I suspect I have two to three maybe four warped rotors.
I was going to take the truck into the dealer but I didn't feel like getting screwed out of 800 to $1,000. Since watching this video I think I'll take the truck back in and see if they can replace or turn my brake rotors as well.
If they really are warped then turning them will make it happen again. Just sooner. You are taking off metal and the heat has less material to absorb and dissipate the heat. Good luck
GM has sucked for years now. They can’t compete with ford and ram.
I just got rid of my 2020 silverado for poor quality and things just keep breaking. So I sold it.
Dam.. sorry bro
The only thing a sunroof is good for is to water the weeds in the seat at the end of its pathetic life...
I work in Livingston we currently have two gm vehicles on the lot. You got super lucky
Buy a POS and trade it in for a POS..not smart!
Be smart and buy a ford!!!
Service can save many customers.....glad it worked out!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Used to be a GM guy exclusively...My last two new trucks are Toyota's. I think they will probably outlast me. Just older vehicles for me now . Still love my manual transmission Corvette and old big Caddy. Hecking headcover there partner.
He lied to you. So, he actually didn't do everything he could. He simply could of told you the truth. They sale crap.
Every 2020 Super Duty with a 10spd has been recalled for tranny issues. Seems the planetary gear bearing is junk. This is over and above the TQ converters. Fords fix is to have each dealer repair the trans not a factory replacement. Need I tell you who gets the warranty work in the shop. They are all turning to over priced junk.
$75K for this new truck? Holy S...
I've been told that. The definition of insanity is: doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
So what do I do? Just forget the 16 trucks ( 6 duramaxs ) that were pretty damn good before I got the POS? Not a maker around that does not make a lemon once in a while.. Its how they handle the problem afterwards that I look at...
Was thinking the same thing. Hope that truck works better for you but i dont think it will. When you have had it with that truck get a ford powerstroke next and never look back 👍
@@10swatkins you made the right decision. Stick with what works and what has worked for YOU! You will love the new truck.
Tundra.
I agree with you, I always have liked Chevrolet however, after two Chevrolets, I am now own a Ford. The last Chevrolet I traded in while the Chevrolet Dealership had the engine out of it. The truck had less than 20,000 miles on it!
More customers for Toyota
IF only they has a 2500 with a diesel....
2006 was the peak of Chevy/gm trucks, i hauled a fully loaded trailer with all of my belongings over 1500kms over and through the mountains with not a single issue. The truck had 440,000 kms when i left, made it over the mountains and back again and is still on the road today. Also, that truck was a WORK truck, was taken onto bush roads and job sites for years. Still rides like a dream and fires right up with not a single issue.
1988 was peak
I really hope this one treats you well. As GM Tech I'm extremely disappointed with the 2020 Trucks. There is a reason I own a 2007 Classic.
Also gonna add don't think it's just Chev shittin the bed. So is Ford. Dodge has it's kinks but I haven't had enough in with problems to pick up what's going on.
Well it’s about time, Sir! Happy trails and many miles.... but I’d still lug around that extra battery for awhile.😁
YEp, fool me one ....... Service manager said they think the problem is licked on the 2020 now... I hope that means the 2021 are ok too...
I got rid of all my chevy's 15 years ago. The 3rd biggest pieces of trash I have ever owned. Only BMW and Mercedes were worse. My Lumina Z34 went through front brake pads every 2 months and chevy told me it was normal WTF??? Chevy told me the knocking from my Malibu and Lumina engines when I started the cars in the morning was normal UMMM OK but I should have known better because I use to work for GM and I know the trash they put out.
My 2001 Durmax dually had the bad bosch injectors and flooded the engine with diesel.... Dealer told me it was ok to drive after they changed the oil... Glad I had him write that on the ticket :) Chevy replaced the truck after they replaced the injectors and it had a knock....
🥺😂 I'm hooked now. Let's see how the rock 2.0 holds up.
I had the same experience in 2006. I had ENOUGH! Bought a f-350 diesal and I've been on the Ford wagon ever since. I will NEVER buy a Chevy AGAIN!! Three Ford's since and been happy with every one
We will see.... 1 bad one out of 17 is a record I can live with... I had the same exact problem with Ford back in the Eighties. Ford never stepped up and I have been buying a lot of Chevys ever since....
I sure hope this one works for ya!
I had a '15 Chevy 1500 and a '16 GMC Denali that were great trucks. I almost bought a '20 GMC 2500 but in the end I found out a friend of mine was working temporally at a Ram dealership so I went with a 2500 Mega Cab instead because he hooked me up big time. Glad I did now, 4600 miles so far and no problems. Sorry to hear about your troubles, hopefully this one lasts for you.
Thanks for sharing!
BUY A FORD! you won't be sorry! Our family will NEVER buy a Chevrolet or GM truck again
And I am the same about Ford
. Screwed me 26 years ago.. Shame on them...
Buying from a company that went bankrupt and was bailed out with your and my tax money!!! I had rather buy from a company that has been solvent and the leading truck manufacturer in the US for over 50 years!!!
And screwed me over good in 96.... I have a long memory :)
When I was young we called that a "moon roof",
Exactly a sun roof was solid an the glass ones were a moon roof
This is why I'm scared of the new twin turbo and hybrid Toyota Tundra as a Toyota guy. It does not matter what car brand you own today. TODAY is the issue. All these damn cars are pushing too much eco crap and reducing quality and longevity.
You have that right! Government is killing them with mandates...
I have decided year's ago I was done with all GM products. Sorry it's taking others so long to get the message. Good luck.
Well, if there is a rocky 1 there is now a rocky 2 and maybe 3.
I’ve had them all Dodge , Ford , Chevy , what I know is you can have a lemon in any of them , but I was most happy with a Dodge or Ford p/u ,but I would take the best deal with the options I want
That's a good line of reasoning there.. I will go with the brand that treats me right...
I hope the new truck works out for you. I also hope that Rock 1 goes back to Chevrolet Engineering so the engineers get to tear it apart and see what ailed that beast! I’m sure you would hate to see Rock 1 get sold off the used vehicle lot to some unsuspecting customer…
Fat chance on it going back...
