TB is lookN $$$

Truck is still at the dealer with the steering rack issue... 2 weeks and counting... absolutely brutal.

Oh, and I sold it. Moving over to the 3.0 Diesel in a Trail Boss for a bit.

Dream truck is Axe's 2500 ZR2 right now... but I need to lay low in a TB for a bit to get my points back up with my recreational coordinator...

mine has been there for 2 weeks tomorrow for the same issue, I honestly don't believe that is the issue as there have been too many other "electrical issues". So I think there is a computer/ ECM issue. Wait and see I guess. Never had these issues with any Rams I have owned.

Hey Mike,

I don't believe I reported this out to much, but while my ZR2 was getting the "steering issue" fixed, I went to the dealer to grab my plates, and tonneau cover + other goodies, as the dealer I did the trade in on, was kind enough to let me come pick up the new TB while the ZR2 was waiting for the steering column (on trade). A sweet deal, I know, and why I drive 203KM one way to purchase from him. (Spencer Chevrolet Cobourg, ON Canada - The Best)

Anyways, when I went to my truck in the back of the dealer lot, the fob didn't work.

Cool. I open driver door manually, no power at all. Ok, no big deal.

Go to open the tonneau cover... but can't open the electronic tail gate! FUCK...

So I pop the hood figuring they've disconnected the battery, and NOPE. Everything still connected.

So the ZR2 sat for over a month, waiting for a column, being bricked the entire time. Needless to say, something electrical was definitely going on there.

All I know, is it got fixed up, got moved to an auction house in Michigan, and I hope the next owner doesn't have Gizmo bouncing around in the system causing havoc.

Tend to agree with you. Electrical problem, 100%. The dealer did indicate they had trouble writing the new PN to the ECM/BCM and that's what caused the brick condition when I asked, FWIW.

Oh, and I learned how to break into a backflip MX4 tonneau cover with a straight blade children's hockey stick without causing any damage at all. These things are not secure folks, If I can do it in 7 mins, any asshole with ill intentions can get in there.

Cheers,

R I G

Got the Bedrug done in the mint weather we're seeing here in Southern Ontario.

Before and After. Makes for a sweet surface to ... uh.. tailgate in. Axe, don't let the boys see this.

I have had the bed rug in a couple of trucks, have the same company's bed mat in my current ZR2

Bedmat might be my next pick. Simple and clean. The rug is hard to beat though!

Hey Guys,

Sorry, I've been laying low a while. Attending Vehicles Anonymous meetings.

Admitting I had a problem was hard. It took a lot for me to see the real me, and understand I needed to make a change. It wasn't until I was halfway through my third VA meeting when I realized this support group was encouraging me to continue to be a degenerate and make poor financial decisions.

I think Jeremy Piven said it best when he said "you can choose to be viciously mediocre, or you can get the f*** after it".

And Mr. McConaughey when he instructed, "you just gotta keep livin' man. L-I-V-I-N".

So then this happened: (attachments)

Aw S#!t.... this isn't the Hummer forum.

 

[ZR2BIZON]

Sire!

Glad to hear you back off track.

Thy toast has earned you and thy new noble steed access to thy ZR2 kingdom.

You Sire already know thy lay of thy land and are welcomed as a brotheran with no mention of lapse in membership.

Here here!

Enjoy...but I never would have made that purchase in a million years.

I get it. I was very hesitant myself.

I don't think I want ownership outside of warranty - but a month and a half in I can easily say it's my favourite vehicle I've ever owned.

Long-term ownership? Jury's still out...

I think the bigger problem may be trying to get a decent resale as not many people will want one as this technology ages every 3-6 months. Your Hummer is a Gen 1 as you well know. When you're out of warranty, it will be worth pennies on the dollar. I can only imagine how fun it is to drive However, unless you got a boat load of money to burn, which you may well, it won't be worth much in 3 years. I wish you the best and that it always puts a BIG smile on your face as, that alone, may be worth the money spent

I am not disappointed you fell off the wagon, but I am disappointed it isn't black. Perhaps a matte black wrap is in your future!
