Here's my SS Crew Cab with Quadrasteer.

 

 

Thank you, thankyouverymuch.

 

i doubt they will do a recall on a problem that doesnt arrise unless the car is modified... a lawsuit couldnt even have much ground in that situation...

 

How's the CC frame any differant that the Ext cab,
isn't just the rear cab mounts moved back?
The trucks are the same lenght.
arn't they,
cc bigger cab shorter bed
ec cab shorter cab, longer bed????

I don't understand how the 20's would affect it.
Maybe the less absorbtion a low profile tire has something to do with it?

 

Yeah but what if someone buys factory 20" wheels and puts them on and then trades the truck.

 

Oh sure it would .... Especially if you're installing GM factory wheels on a GM vehicle. In three years it will be extremely easy to overlook the fact that 20s are not acceptable on trucks made during three months in 2005. IANAL, but it is forseeable that GM vehicle owners will be installing such wheels on their vehicles. Even if you notify current owners, it is still forseeable that those vehicles will eventually be sold and that the new buyer will not be made aware of the problem. Even if you notify tire shops, it is still forseeable that people will not receive notice (e.g., if they bought wheels w/ tires private party). Given that it's forseeable, and they're not doing anything about it, you have negligence.

If this is really a problem, GM had better either fix the problem or recall the trucks and rivet giant warning placards to the bedside.

Here's a nice anecdotal.....let's say two friends have 2005 Chevy CCs...one w/ factory installed 20s, one without. Truck #1 has 17" wheels and has the problem. Truck #2 has factory 20" wheels that are listed on the sticker and was built a month or two later when the problem was fixed. The guy with the 20" wheels decides he wants more performance, and the guy with the 17" wants more bling....so they trade wheels in the driveway. Two years later truck #1s frame cracks, causing a loss of control which results in him driving off a cliff with his family and crashing through the roof a orphanarium below. In such a case, I'm guessing GM would quickly find itself on the losing end of a few lawsuits.

Now sure that's ridiculous, but there are probably 50 thousand trucks with this problem on the road. If this is really a problem, something bad is going to happen to someone.

 

I read on GM-Truck.com that the problem was the rear hangers. The 20's put more stress on the hanger bushing and there is no way to repair those without drilling out the rivits (sp?) to replace the hanger bushings. So from my understanding the bushings were upgraded. But how long does it take to wear out a bushing from mainly street driving? I doubt most of these truck will be around then any way.

 

Chevrolet should step and fix the problem I wouldnt want the truck anyway if just a little oversized wheels can cause the trucks frame to crack. Just another GM f-up but it doesnt surprise me since they cant even build tailgate cables last.

 

Were u able to look up the bulletin??
