You see, I do care!!! I care that someone who's father owned a GM dealership represents himself as a former GM employee and fools everyone into thinking he probably knows what he is talking about. You are no more a former GM employee than someone flipping burgers at McDonalds is an employee of McDonalds Corporation. If you ever received a payroll check from GM I will kiss your ___. I do care that incorrect and deceptive information is given out to unsuspecting and inexperienced individuals. The members of this forum appreciate truth and not self serving, ego inflating deception. I don't have to be a walking interchange manual to find out what parts will work for a model year. Most wrecking yards can provide that information if you are looking for used parts. If anyone is getting a big ego boost it is you. It's too bad you have to inflate your ego by mis-representing yourself and passing out wrong or twisted or incomplete information. I will correct you everytime you hand out bad information. I will do that because I DO CARE!

It's real easy to complain but where are the specifics? What have you been told on your specific problems? If you have been to that many dealers I suggest the problem with the truck is you. Where did you get that .040 piston BS? Standard size pistons are used on the assembly line only. A .040 undersized piston would knock so bad it never would have gotten out of the plant let alone have a customer hear it and then buy the vehicle. Dealers try very hard to satisfy a customer. In todays world of consumerism and with so many other manufacturers trying to get your business, a person would be foolish to try to lie, cheat or decieve a customer. Does it ever happen? Of course, just like any other business you have individuals who don't deal honestly. If you think every dealer is lying to you, I suggest the problem is you and not them.

 

My 04 Sierra did this since new and the dealer replaced the rear U-Joint and it went away. However, it feels like it might be slowly coming back. I felt it slightly on the initial test drive and thought it might just be the beefyness of the gears. However, the tranny is twitchy, clanky, and not up to year 2000 standards.
