Why Am I Not Surprised..?

I guess it froze up when faced with the pressure of having to perform in front of a large crowd.

 

“This Silverado stalling was just the decorative toothpick in this turd sandwich of a week in the Motor City. At least a Red Wings victory gives people in Detroit something to cheer for. By the looks of it, there isn’t much else.”

LMFAO!!!!
Now who’s the TuRD Bitches!!!!

 

That mechanic they brought out should be rewarded with a heft sum for removing that pile off the ice

 

Chevy sucks, Detroit sucks, Little Caesars sucks...whats new?

 

LOL. That’s so brutally hilarious.

I’ve had some really good older GM pickups- the ‘87 4x4 shortbox is the one vehicle I’d like back the most- but wow, the new stuff...

 

That's what happens when you drive or ride public transportation. Pretty sure the Silverado Crew cabs are made in Mexico, another testimonial to the money spent on the bailout. GM definitely farted in church and now need to sit in their own pew.

 

America has gotten lazy over the years......the products show it and the world laughs.

 

Wow. Coincidental poetic justice, or someone associated with one of the area plants being closed had access and opportunity to sabotage the truck-? Same results either way. A lot of people are pissed.

 

Funny, the latest good one I had was an '04 as well. Had an '06 that was a gutless pile of caca. Imho gms built just prior to, during and after the bailout are not near as good as the ones prior. They can shove afm and that new turbo 4 up their ass. How about making a v8 for a truck that makes some torque?

Looks like they may need another handout soon too.

 

no more handouts. let em live or die by their own hand.

 

Mine had the anemic 5.3l with 3.42 gearing. Sadly, they generally only put the 6.0/6.2 on higher trim level trucks like Denali, etc.. (or in the max towing package).

 

Same here. Had a ‘96 Z71 regular cab/short box and I miss it all the time.

 

Mine struggled to stay in od with an empty 16' trailer. My step dad has one a little newer that probably has the 6 speed. Its gutless unloaded as well. I've been in gms with the 6 speed and they shift alot.

 

Good year for a gm truck.

 

I had a 2005 GMC Duramax 1 ton for 5 years 110K miles. It never left me stranded, but it wasn’t the most reliable.
The Duramax and Allison were solid.

 

Made in Mexico isn't a bad thing.

 

A vehicle badged with an American name plate, wrapped up in the American flag when sitting in the showroom and actually BUILT in America, by Americans, is a BETTER THING.

 

Says who? For prideful reasons, sure that sounds better. In terms of quality there is no difference. American automobile manufacturers aren't in their own class on standards. Not looking to pick a fight but I'm tired of the assumption that made in Mexico equals subpar shit, it simply isn't true.

 

Amen bro!

 

Your DAMN right it's for "Prideful Reasons". Not only are American Autos in their own class on standards but so is America as a country. There aren't THOUSANDS of Americans crashing over Mexico's Border in search of "better lives".

 

I had an '89 Silverado and an '07 Silverado that I really liked. That they're now are made in Mexico is one of the big reasons that I didn't buy another on when I bought my Tundra back in September. My company moved one of our major factories there about 5 years ago and I've seen the poor quality products that come out of there.

 

For sure. I still want a 96-98 two door Tahoe sport. Managed to find a pic of my old Z71

 

Nice truck! A buddy of mine had a 96 like that but dark green and an ext cab. It was a beast back in the day. I think it's still on the road too, I see it periodically.

 

What exactly does this have to do with car manufacturing? You're way off topic bud.

 

This will make for the best “ these are not actors, these are real people” commercials lol.

 

Wouldn't be the first time I've drifted off topic. After accepting Billions of Taxpayer Dollars, then continuing to build their "American" vehicles in foreign countries, IS a bad thing. Mexico's government and their total disregard for America's Immigration Laws is another Bad Thing. As long as there are GM buyers who don't Pay Attention, GM will just continue going back for more Bailouts.
