I was Going to Buy a Chevy Work truck- until this guy talked to me

What happens here

This video is not an instructional DIY project. Instead, it features a discussion with an anonymous employee from a General Motors truck plant who exposes alleged quality control and manufacturing deficiencies. The employee details issues he has personally witnessed during the production process, such as water entering truck cabs, bent frame components, and the failure to reapply anti-corrosion coatings after parts are modified for fit. The video highlights these concerns as potential long-term problems for new GM trucks and discusses the pressure on temporary employees to overlook such issues.

Goal: Understand the reported problems in GM truck manufacturing

What they say

Hide

And you said a few other things that really blew my mind out of the water. Bent frames and water inside the cab that they just cover up. Is that right? Well, yeah. Um but if it's something that isn't going to be an issue down the road, but the customer is not going to notice it when they buy the truck, it's usually a set. Now, you also said something that I I mean, I guess that was very confusing to me. What What is this about water inside the cabs that they just cover up? Yes. Yes. Um we've got this issue up for years now and it's it's getting us nowhere. Um the roofs in these plants for how much money they produce, they're really not all that waterproof. And when it does rain hard enough for a good couple days, it starts pouring in. Well, that's getting inside these trucks and all over everything, really. But when they do have a cab, I've seen it I think 11, 12 times in a day, cab will come down the line with probably a quarter inch of water in it. And then not further down, they just throw the carpet, seats, electronics, everything right on top of that. They don't dry the truck out? No. They don't dry the truck out. Right in the water. So, the carpet just soaks up the water and send it on down the line. Yes, correct. Holy crap. no problem doing that. As long as it goes out and the customer is not going to notice it on the sales lot, that's fine. saying is this whole video started because you messaged me and said, "I build GMCs and there's a reason why I drive Ford." Is that right? Yes, correct. But you work for GMC that you haven't seen inside the Chevy or anything like that, right? I've seen, yeah, inside both GMC and Chevy. They're on the same line. They're on the same line? Yes, they are. I mean, they're built on the same line at different times of the week or what? Oh no, they can go Chevy, Chevy, Chevy, GMC, Chevy, Chevy, GMC, GMC on the line. So, this problem is both Chevy and GMC? Well, they're trying to throw these trucks out the door as fast as they can go just to make their money. Yes. So, I was in the process of looking at buying a brand new truck when I got a very eye-opening message that stopped me dead in my tracks from one of the guys that actually builds GMC GMC trucks. And what you're about to hear, he's got to remain anonymous because not only would he get fired for what he's about to disclose, but he would get sued on top of it. First thing, let's go. Good. How about you? How are you doing? Pretty good, thanks. Good. So, I'm not going…
