They ought to recall the front end of this Chevy truck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a ’21 yr chevy HD and I love how they look, They have a tough mean rugged look that grows on you
Maybe should fix the colorado 8L45 clunking a crappy Shifting problems too. That would be nice ,instead of saying it normal .
I just found out General Motors will not warranty the loose Molding on My 2021 AT4 with 5000 miles—You can not buy this truck from GM without the Moldings on the wheel wells –anyone have the address of the place where to write and voice a complaint?—-the dealer said this was a GM Rule and they were not in the loop on non warranted items —
I wish GM would fix the colorado 8L45 clunking and shifting problems, instead of just saying it’s normal.
Is this for the 6bspeeds in the gassers or the 10L1000 in the diesels?
