I factory ordered a 2005 reg. cab, long bed, 4wd 3500 (non-dually) Allison trans. dsl.
No problem with engine, or transmission at all! Everything else!!! I just went through a 1" +/- file folder, & come up with the following... The dealer test drove, & filled the fuel tank, & I took delivery with 6 miles on the odomometer!
1) 195 miles in for air/heat controls. 2) 250 crack in door trim 3) 15,172 Air/heat controls again 4) 22,700 Broken shock absorber. 5) 29,997 Power stearing line leaking NOW $100 Deduct starts at 36,000! 7) 37,562 Trans. wont go into reverse. veh. towed. Ignition replace. 8) 38,002 Again no reverse / towed / they test drove 2 days/No codes/ No problems 9) 39,248 power steering leaks, & no reverse when mechanic tried driving. 10) 39,248 Tore apart steering for 3 days looking for reverse problem. Found it! 11) 58,951 both sterring tie rods + idler arm. 12) 62,371 Leak in roof cab lights. 13) 62,371 Leak in front wheel hub. 14) 62,409 Stranded / Towed; due improper hub repair. 15) 65,380 Radio out + Power steering motor out. 16) 76,214 Tail gate handle / broken power window motor. 17) 83,411 Vehicle dies / Towed / Alt. + Batteries. 18) 86,219 Radio out again! Replaced for 2nd time. 19) 90,480 Replace 1 steering arm again + replace hub! 20) 90,480 Radio wont take CD's! You probably can guess; New radio. 21) 90,480 Dashboard lights! 7 lights out. Soldered LED's. Cant replace just a bulb... You have to change the entire circuit board they are attached to. $890 to replace 7 light bulbs. I wrote an ugly letter to GM at that point, & told they are never supposed to go out; YET!!! I have talked to a lot of other people who have not had any problems with dashboard lights.
I could add more to this. I now have 110,000 miles on the vehicle, & the radio is starting to act up again. If it gets relaced it will be the 5th radio including the one that came with the vehicle. GM wants about $550 I think to replace it. I think this time I am going to look at another brand radio!
By the way. This vehicle has not been misused. I havent pulled much weight behind it, & it has not been used even 750 miles for towing on the road, & the farm! Maybe I just got a lemon; but who knows! I have tractors, & thats what they were made for!

Today's Featured Article - Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
