[QUOTE="Canuck714, post: 1511596, member: 6707"] While I didn't care for the sound, it wasn't a deal breaker for me. I had put a deposit down to hold one at the dealer I had originally ordered my 13 from. They had one of the biggest allocations when that system was needed to get one, so they were one of the first dealers to have the Gen 2 come in. The GM is my friend, so he had one as his Demo, and that's the one I test drove. He had already put 5-600 miles on it when I drove it, and it left an oil stain in my driveway when he came to pick me up..LMAO 500 miles and It had the ****** leaking plastic oil pan. Not a great first impression. On the test drive the 10 speed was hunting all over the place for the proper gear. I know they have since worked the transmission programming out, but this was what it was like on a lot of the early ones. I also felt that the rear shock layout that was supposed to help wheel hop, made the rear end feel skittish in corners. I hit an expansion joint on an on ramp that nearly spun the ass end completely around. The rear was less planted for sure. The 44psi the dealer had in the tires certainly didnt help. Also, I wasn't crazy on the new body style, but was really impressed with the look and feel of the interior VS the Gen 1. After the test drive, I decided that I would pull back my order and see if the first 6 months of production would show this new truck to be superior to my Gen 1 or expose all the flaws. I feel that I made the right choice, and went on the hunt for my next Gen 1.. [/QUOTE]
