I would love to tell you that it's a GMC problem, but last year Ford kept me waiting for 50 WEEKS for a wiring harness for my Navigator.

Can't make this ***** up.

Nothing new about this, Ford discontinued the cruise control wiring harness on my Panther body when it was only 7 model years old. You would think a fleet heavy car would have parts support? Nope. Had to hit the junk yard to source a part.

I mean at what point does the insurance company just total the truck since they aren't able to properly repair it?

Insurance company will deflect and say it's still under warranty, or in case of out of warranty, that it was not a qualifying event like a hit and run. Otherwise newer vehicles insurance would go through the roof if they have to pay out to people who are out of their vehicle for extended period of time.

0.0 people will ask for a more reliable truck.

An even less reliable truck, with more power and a 1" bigger screen on the dash, is more important,
