And on top of that, I'm still doing the wear and tear things, like tires, brakes, hubs. I thought my trans am was bad bc it needed so many repairs, but this truck is worse. Maybe I won't go for a Toyota in the end, but I sure as hell am not getting a GM truck ever again. When the TA broke down, it wasn't such a big deal because it was just a fun car and I could get a ride from someone while it was getting fixed. Now I have a Silverado and I rely on it for my buisness. When the thing is always broken, falling apart, or making embarrassing loud noises because something is messed up again, It really hurts my company, my income, and in the end I'm practically working just to keep the truck up. It's no wonder why all of the competition drive Superduty's. I'm just saying, It is a fact that GM made, and still makes (imo) much lower quality vehicles than their competition all the way across the board. The little things are the killer. Obviously GM can make good performing, fun cars when they want to (like the vette, f-body, gto, etc..) but as for quality, they are lacking.
