I got a letter from GM offering me money to drop off a rental and take my truck to emissions test it for CARB/EPA purposes.

I'm 90% sure I'm going to do it... anyone done it before? If so, do they provide a vehicle of the same class, or should I expect a Cruze?

I called and spoke with them today - they said they replace with an equivalent or better model, in my case likely a Silverado. They'll return it with a full tank of fuel. And if they find anything wrong, they'll ask permission to schedule an appointment at a dealership to have it fixed.

Im sure they beat the piss out of it in the meantime, but they will fix what they break

GM needs a customers truck to do these test's ?? They will condemn your truck and say sorry you don't get it back. I would tell them thanks but no thanks. Sounds fishy to me

For the testing, they just repeat the same emissions testing they did to get the certification. There's no "beating the piss out of it" during the testing - it's a very controlled test.

What happens with the truck to and from the testing facility is a different question. However, it's a diesel Colorado... What are they going to do, run 20 second passes at the drag strip? (yawn)

Not fishy at all. They (along with every manufacturer) are required by the EPA to retest random vehicles that have been in service as opposed to fleet vehicles which could be cherry picked.

I did that last August, worked great. They kept my truck 1 week longer and paid me double. I gave them my truck with 1/4 tank and it came back full. They gave me a new Silverado full and I gave it vback with half a tank. My truck had 75 miles put on it. win win imho

I received the same letter. All the testing is done inside on a dyno. The only reason that I said no is because they can keep the truck for a month and I have a ZR2 that is built and I go offroad. They will give you a new lowner of equal value but I don't want to take the cahnce off road with there truck.
