Won me over

Should have bought a 4dr truck but the ride and handling was what won me over. Acceleration is awesome. Sheet metal fit is excellent but the paint has some dirt and craters. The Active Fuel Management system is a joke, 15 to 17 MPG on highway but will get 20 driving in the 45 MPH range.
50,000 update--pretty good

Thought it'd be a good time for this. At 50000mi my Av is doing well, with a few problems. This winter the 4WD started kicking out when the wheels slipped and dash read "service 4WD". Later this spring rear parking sensors quit. Both computer glitches, warranty fix. Oil consumption a little high, maybe a quart per 3000mi. Built-in oil life monitor would let me go over 8000mi between changes! All I've read says this monitor is as accurate as can be; so I run it to 10% life and change it. Hwy MPG as high as 19 in warm weather. Paint, fit and finish, interior leather holding up very well, just wipe down those stylin' aluminum wheels every car wash. A darn good truck, and I'm not easy on it!

Only problem with my 1st. one was the PCV valve (which the dealer fixed). This new one so far has been great. I can hardly feel the transition between 8 cyl. to 4 cyl. I'll be much happier with the better gas mileage.
Nice truck, too bad it wasnt well made

Despite babying this truck, the transmission clunked into gear @about 27mph since it was new. The dealer replaced the shifter valve and it stopped lurching. Transmission blew up at 30,000 miles. Dealer rebuilt. The trans was flushed at 90,000 miles. 2,200 miles later the trans. is running at 200 degrees when under normal load. The back tonneau panels have leaked like a sieve since it was brand new. Can't imagine how others could have big fancy sound systems back there. I can't keep groceries dry! Seat stitching on leather back seat is falling apart (no one sits there). Dash is cracked from passenger airbag to drivers side. Dealer said airbag is still functional, but looks questionable. When the truck was brand new, I instinctively mashed the middle of the steering wheel to sound the horn. I inadvertently smashed in the cheap chevrolet badge. Sure is nice driving around looking at that for 13 years.Would have to replace airbag to fix it. Dealer did not retrofit for a cabin filter, which really sucks after having moved to FL form CO...A shoddy $40,000 truck. Should've listened when told "NEVER BUY A FIRST YEAR NEW MODEL OR BODY STYLE". It's an old tale that still very much applies.

I've been a chevy owner for 22 years. This is the first time I have ever regretted buying one. I didn't know anything about active fuel management on GM trucks. After driving this truck for 3 weeks, the engine light started to flash. The codes P0301, 0455, 0521 were found buy my scan tool. That code P0301 will determine if I'll stay a fan of GM vehicles. That code has a price range from $700.00 to $7,000 repair bill. We'll see when I take this truck to the dealer tomorrow.
