Good looking truck! Enjoy.

Thanks, now I have to learn all the technology in it. My other truck didn't have half this stuff. It did come with lifetime oil changes. If I keep it like my last truck, that's going to cost them. Lol.

I like it, I am envious.

All the electronics on the truck shut down today. 350 miles on it and all this is happening.

Wow that sux. Gut I know and on his truck. They said it was time for a programming upgrade. Sent a signal to shut it down Via onstar. Had the horses loaded and the trailer on it. Was about to go to a horse show. Won't start. Says bring in for service.
Had to tow the truck in for the upgrade. They literally don't call check nothing. Just shut the truck down so he can't drive it. The new service is ridiculous.

I would fact check that with the guy that told you that story, Onstar will not shut down a vehicle for service. The only time they will is if the vehicle is report stolen or kidnapping and they have the permission for the owner and police and then only in a safe situation will they shut it down. They can all do it for non payment but that is a lot of paperwork to do that including court order.

One of my friends is a high ranking manager with Onstar and when I showed home this post he told me that in now way will they ever shut vehicle down for a service call.

Okay maybe he was confused. I don't know. But He believes that is what happened. Maybe it just locked up like shadowgreys. All i know is computers in cars are used way to much.
