Not sure where you are, but most larger dealerships have contracts with a rental car company. My dealership had me in a free rental (tiny crossover) just for my recall test, which was a 24 hour deal. They gave me an equinox loaner for the replacement timeframe. Not trying to brag, just saying...

Picked the truck up today, new engine at 64k miles. So far so good.

I was completely shocked at the approval and following speed of everything.

Went in a few weeks ago for my scope test, I "passed" the official test. I had been going in for the last 6 months or so though, for oil consumption monitoring. My engine was burning oil, so every 1k miles I would go to my dealership, or if traveling, to a local dealership and have them log my...

I think it's absolutely bonkers as well. My specific response was "so if I come in for a 5k oil change, it's fine to only have 3 qts left"? Sounded like warranty evasion BS.

While doing my consumption tests for warranty, dealer told me 1qt per 1k miles is within spec.

I could just be salty, but I never once had a single issue with 4 Tacos, and first time back in a Chevy and it's glitch City.

The new Tundra with the iforce turbo 6 hybrid whatever has the torque, HP, and fantastic fuel economy, at least on the ratings. For my 6.2, I averaged 13.8 last highway trip from Indy to NC.

Buy a Tundra. I was a GM guy for years, then during the Great Recession went to Tacomas for my company and myself (they were still doing leases when GM could not). I absolutely loved the 4 different Tacomas I had for my personal vehicle. TRD Off Road. Never a flicker or a flinch or an issue...

I am currently doing their "oil consumption test" per the dealer's requirements when I told them how much oil I was burning. They said I should expect my number to come up soon in the pipeline, and when it does, they can then also charge GM to do a camera scope for shavings. Curious if they...

On my current oil change.... I had to add 2 quarts 1,800 after my oil change. Then again added another 2 quarts after a total of 4,200 miles from the full oil change. I am going in Friday, they said they would do a consumption test, aka, change the oil, then I come back after a prescribed...

I'm in Indianapolis, I see more 2500 HD ZR2s than I see the 1500s (barely ever). I see Trail Bosses everywhere. I have yet to see a full size ZR2 anywhere in my color. And I travel from Chicago to NC constantly.

I have been looking to get one of these, what type do you and what made you remove it and switch to the Range module?

I knew I should have asked the forum about it. I spent the last two weeks while traveling/waiting for my appointment, being annoyed by the locks. They fixed it today by resetting it. I can definitely imagine I pressed against the remote in a way that caused it.

Sitting at the dealership now. Came in for a software update recall, but also because my passive door handle button and tailgate button have stopped functioning in the unlock mode. It will lock when I press them, but will not unlock, so I have to use the remote.
