Got up yesterday AM, used the remote starter loaded up, go in dash was dying and was greeted with"check charging system"
Well $120 later and a new 160amp Alternator is installed.. had hard time convincing wife not to go ballistic since we just bought it 4 days ago. I don't blame the dealer, but a hard pill to swallow right away, I'd be more upset if I had to pay someone to fix it. but Thank goodness GM made it so easy to fix some things on these engines, seriously it's probably 30min R&R for an Alt. More for me since I had to find my tools(have a slight organization issue right now)
EDIT: on the Plus side, I had my two new keys cut at Home Depot, $0.00 the kid was awesome couldn't believe how cheap amazon/ebay sells chip keys for.

I bought my truck from a dealer in Winston-Salem. Nice town and the folks at Flow GMC were top notch (parts, service and mechanic), they run GMPartsDirect. Good preachin' at Berean Baptist Church too.

168,000 Miles, not sure if it was an original ALT or not. Seems about right though IIRC my 95 Tahoe did the same to me at 170.

Yes they are good, took my "old" 04 Deville to them for diagnosis they were fair, offered a free shuttle ride(which was worth at least the diagnostic fee) I just noticed when on the GMpartsdirect site that they run that as well.
ya at 160k it's one of those points of use where you can expect some things to need some attention, (if they haven't already been done), like wheel hubs, radiator, etc just the way it is applies to practically any make/model

Yes luckily seems this truck was fairly well babied, garage kept etc... only one crack in the dash, and even the leather on the driver seat is still intact.. This was just a sad moment, too soon after purchase... now to track down the leak that's wetting my passenger floorboard (Sunroof and still has GM windshield) Not too worried yet.
added some reverse strobe lights, because ima dork

No, just the white ones. Any flashing lights people just move out of your way.

Good luck with that one!
Walmart people lol. Not likely.
eventually I might install a left/right headlight flasher, my friend had one on his pickup, you pull up on the flash to pass and it activates the flasher, worked pretty good, still not sure how "legal" that would be though

Flash to pass is enough to initiate road rage around here, or else it just has no effect at all. I figure if they have their rear view mirrors adjusted my HIR high beams def get their attention.
