New truck, 800 miles, clogged exhaust filter. The new technology sux!!!! We'll all have to get together for that luncheon, that day I probably wouldnt have been a great host , though. Its only been a WEEK since the new truck "MALFUNCTIONED" and Im still driving a loaner. I mean a $50,000.00 truck shouldnt be expected to go more than 800 miles without going to the shop should it?? Truck dash actually said "Engine Power has been reduced" then it said "clean exhaust filter now". I get the owners manual out and it says NOTHING in the entire manual about Cleaning the exhaust filter. I sat at Spence GM all afternoon (Dang good folks) and finally wound up calling my dealer and explaining the situation in a certain way so that they understood I needed a truck to pull BB home and AN ENORMOUS TUBE OF KY JELLY SO THEY COULD STICK MY TRUCK STRAIGHT WHERE THE SUN DONT SHINE!!! Ive calmed alot even though GM cant figure out whats wrong with the filter deal and why the truck is not doing it's burn off sequence. Id be really upset but I havent signed the papers on it or given them a check so its still THEIR $50,000.00 truck that has a stopped up filter they cant fix. Im gonna give GM( because Im so loyal) another few days then Im going shoppin!! I cant go fishing until I get my truck back and thats not helpingme with my patience issues!! Thanks for the Kudos on BB, but she really was about to have to push My truck that day!!!!

Yeah, I'm a diesel truck kinda guy, but no way I'd buy a new one right now. My '99 Dodge will eat anything for fuel without a hitch. I'm not willing to give that up just yet

He didnt tell me about that one, guess I'll have to inquire!!

If Chevy doesn't come through take a look at the Nissan Titan. Going tomorrow to pick up my new Titan in Tallahassee. I've had my Chevy 1500 for almost 9 years now, and it's time for something new. Did a ton of research and my personal opinion is that the Nissan Titan is the best half ton truck available right now for the price, features, and specs.
Buzztail wrote:Nathan, I think we're talking 3/4 and one ton diesels. Half ton trucks- the Nissan does look good, but I get 22+mpg on the road with over 650 lb/ft
Yes diesel trucks. My last one was over 500 hp and close to 800ft/lbs of torque. I just got my performance stuff in for this truck in , but I dont have my truck here to put it on Supposedly to have new filter system in Monday or Tuesday and then we'll see how she does I m afraid the Titan would struggle pulling Bad Behavior a little and a whole lot pulling some of my equipment. My 5320 4WD John Deere with a cage and belly pan, root grapples, and 8 ft brown harrow would probably give the ol Titan a little hell. Not saying theyre not nice trucks, just not quite enough truck for my purposes. Good luck with the new ride there Nathan.
