And the tires wont balance, vibrates like crazy at highway speeds and the dealer wont fix that either, they tried once and said sorry nothing we can do.
Over all its a nice truck. Super quiet. I had to get used to all the display options. The six speed trans is another thing I have to get used to with all the shifting. When you want to pass or get on it , it has a mind of its own and drops down hard.

Hello, I knew a Ray Barnes but have not heard or seen him in over a year, are you any relation?

Ray,
If you haven't bought a GM truck yet. A little advice... take it for a long test drive on the highway. Their are a lot of issues with vibration at speeds around 70mph +. Look at some of the truck forums about vibration and you will get an idea of what I'm talking about. They are saying 1 in 5 have this issue. Mine is at the dealership again for the third time for this issue and they are having a hard time figuring it out. They have tried balancing the wheels twice. Now they are replacing the drive shaft and front drive axle. They are just throwing parts at it to see if they can figure it out. I'm not alone on this.
Just thought I would share this because it sounds like you plan on keeping it for awhile. I spent $40K+ and plan on keeping it for awhile, if it stays together. I drive a lot of miles so we will see if it holds up.
