Be sure to drive it. I have one that bangs the gears when taking off. (Sometimes) .Usually first thing in the morning. Jerks and shifts hard with a loud clunk when shifting between 1 and 2 gear. I know other owners that report the Same problem. So far either of the ones I have heard about have found the problem. Including mine!! 55K MSRP. Should not have this problem!!

Beware of Auto Fuel Management Lifter Failures

Just had 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 w/5.3L engine fail lifters and cam shaft due to the AFM system. Apparently shutting the 8 cyl down to 4 for fuel economy can save you on gas but you will get stuck with a $10K engine repair bill to offset any improvement in fuel economy. This is not a 2017 issue but a generic GM issue across all models that use the AFM system. Several lawsuits against GM on this and GM still denies responsibility for repair costs.

All shoppers should know what their primary purpose is for the vehicle and look at only those vehicles that serve that purpose.
