It's perfect for me... Black A black 2027 Yukon on order

You definitely can’t shift that faster with a stick. My wife’s Acura only does 60 in 6.2 seconds. For an early 2000s car it’s a fast 4cylinder.

No stick in the RS3. It's 3.6 seconds 0-60, there's no time to shift manually. Too much interruption for the transfer of that kind of power. Our last S4 had the 7-speed dual clutch setup with the supercharged 6. That was a fast car and the DSG fired off lightning fast shifts, up and down. It's wasn't a manual but it was a different kind of fun. Point and hang on. DSG's have a manual mode and they shift as fast as you can click the paddle even when you want to skip multiple gears on a downshift.

If it has a stick I can have fun with it. When my wife first got her Acura years ago I used to tease her about it. I was only interested in muscle cars. They’re gone now. So once a month I drive the Acura. Every once in a while I’ll take it to Redline. But just normal driving on some twisty back roads usually does the trick.

I went through again with a test light and everything checked out. I suppose it could be the MAF itself but I've tried 3 different sensors, 2 of which were in running vehicles previously (the one in this truck, and the one in the donor truck), as well as a new one I picked up from NAPA. I would just be surprised if all 3 were bad. EDIT/UPDATE: I swapped in the MAP sensor that was originally with the 2010 PCM, that made the code for map sensor voltage high Go away, and the map sensor seems to read normal with key on engine off (14psi or so), but it still doesn't run and does the same thing as before.

In addition to a cell or wifi connection, the infotainment needs to be enabled to download software updates. That's a toggle within the system settings. But...if the truck was prevented from receiving updates in a past life, missing a bunch of updates may mean it won't go back and download all of those because they're not available or the system is too far out of date. If a formal recall depends on a software update, the recall for that truck remains in an open status until it's applied. The dealer would need to apply the software update in that instance. Most updates downloaded and applied via the infotainment aren't recalls/safety recalls, they're enhancements and usability fixes which aren't critical.

Recently I've been getting a message, "New Brake Pads Detected. Reset Brake Pad Life?", But I haven't had the pads replaced and the truck only has 28,000 miles. The Brake Pad Life shows Front 64% and Rear 79%. I select NO to resetting the brake pad life and the message goes away but comes back at the nest restart. I stopped by the dealer and was told that it sounds like a software glitch that would require reprogramming. Even though I have the extended warranty, they tell me that reprogramming is not covered unless a module was actually bad and needed to be replaced. Simply reprogramming is not covered. So, they want $200.00 just to diagnose the problem. If it turns out no bad module, another charge on top of that to do the reprogramming. If the cause was an actual bad module, everything would be covered under the warranty. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Should this issue be covered under the warranty? Thanks

NHT is diesel only, correct. The GVWRs for NHT on 3/4 ton bring them to the same numbers as many of the 2WD 1 tons. A crew 4x4 standard 3/4 with NHT is 11,750lbs, a 1 ton same cab/box/4x4 is 12,100lbs. Hubs and hub bearings are the same for 11.5" and 12" axles. Housing, diff carrier and ring/pinion are larger for the 12". All gas use the 11.5" axle, 3/4, 1 ton and 1 ton DRW.

Yes, I connected it to my home wifi.

For most of you, this is probably outside your realm of interest, but, maybe you can appreciate it. The hood and wheels aren't something I'm interested in, but someone made a very rowdy Audi S4... amazing sound. These were/are very fun cars for the money. Not going to lie, I'm getting an itch to own a newer Audi RS3. The 5-cylinder will be changing, or going away, at the end of this year.

Is your truck connecting to your home wifi, or cell phone hot spot, or a onstar data package? It needs some way to connect to the internet to download the updates

I am looking at replacing my back up camera on my 2017 from Camera Source. Have any Canadians here ordered from them, and if so how were the duties charged. I am ok with taxes etc but sometimes the duties charged can be more than the parts.

Just visited them today. Went better than expected with a little hiccup. While they were changing the oil the service writer walks to the waiting area with a carfax report. The poor guy I bought the truck from either got taken for a ride or the dealer recognized he knew nothing about vehicles. The truck had more flushes and fluid changes than even Grumpy would do. Drive shaft CV joints, steering racks tie rods and 4 Wheel alignments. His drive to work is all highway. After that he buys another one. So out of all the things Honda said I needed they suggested just the timing belt. I asked if I could look at the bushings and brakes myself and they said no problem. The little problem the oil change guy didn’t notice the double stacked oil filter o ring. She leaked a little backing out to change lifts. I took a picture and they documented. They gave me a ride home and picked me up later. I did say your oil change guy needs to be made to understand proper filter exchange. I watch as all ways it didn’t run out of oil. I was satisfied. I will use them again.

There's a Falcon for sale near me, red. A bit of a basket case, but highly original and not much rust. Would be a fun project! The one in the segment posted above sounds amazzzzing!! Tasteful upgrades, too. If anyone reading hasn't watched it, turn your sound up!

They do. HPL EC30 and EC40. Takes time just like any cleaning ester and it is an ester.

So if I catch that correctly, really there are limited options to use that have the ability to reverse a mess created from too long of an OCI by using Wally World oils. Valvoline R&P being one and as of yet to be proven in real world use with the Mobil Clean. Doesn't HPL have a solution they offer as well as an additive to other oils or a certain oil type that is used as a whole to do a similar job to R&P ?

The color pallet is such trash for GM trucks, actually disgraceful if you ask me!

Uh yes, that's the name of the package. It doesn't quite bring it up to 1 ton specs unfortunately and imagine they have to do that for a numbers reason rather than a physical one. Am I correct though that the Max Trailer Package and therefore the 12" rear is only available on the Duramax and not on any of the L8T 3/4 ton trucks ( and that the same 11.5 rear axle center section is used on the 3/4, 1 ton SRW and even 1 ton dually gas version ) ? I'd also be curious to know if the wheel bearings are the same on a SRW configuration between an 11.5 vs the 12" diff as I assume parts would show that up but may not explain what the difference is if indeed there was a physical difference.

Why is gas up? Same reason the deficit is now $40 Trillion.

Mobil up another dime this am , $3.89, others will probably go up later. Any ideas on the reason for the increase other than greed? I've been working 14 hour days and haven't caught the news in a few days.

AMSOIL SS is about prevention and it is very good at it's job. I've never seen it claim to be a cleaner however like Valvoline R&P. Almost any oil that has some Ester or Alkylated Naphthalene in sufficient quantity will do a good job at keeping the rings functional. I see the market splint among these types in two groups; those that use the same tech in every weight grade and those that reserve the tech for the EPA (EPA) friendly grades. Mobil 1 for example keeps the Advanced Clean chemistry out of the SAE 40 and up weights. Other like HPL (top shelf group and No-VII), Red Line HP, TORCO, MPT30K use the tech in all grades. Just not something the Wally World oils are into.
