My truck just had a recent s/w update. Before that my iPhone connected via BT every time. After the update, it connected sporadically. Seemed to NOT connect if the truck had been off a period of time. I think I cured the issue by having the phone forget the truck in the phone BT connection screen. Since I have re-paired the BT connection, my phone connects. You said that you "deleted the phone several times". I assume you mean in the infotainment screens. Maybe try it from the phone side to see if that helps. Just a thought.

Putting on a basic set of new tires could help seal the sale. You can always add the cost on to your asking price.

FYI - it's not your signature. It's in your profile. Go to your profile and edit it. If you don't want to do it, fine. Don't be criticizing others because they say you drive a vehicle that you say you sold. It's on you. And if you don't much give a ****, then why are you always responding and complaining about others?

Speaking of memory issues.... Can we please get back to the topic of 2027 GMC Sierra?

Do you have a BP or Amoco station nearby? The reason I ask is because the Earnify app by BP gets you a discount on fuel. Just a $.05 off per gallon, but if you link it to your Amazon account, you get $.10 off per gallon. This weekend, until July 5, 2026, you can get $.50 off per gallon on a one time fuel purchase. I just got 30 gallons of gas for my mowers and UTV. That's $15 in savings.

Maybe you wouldn't be crying if you quit talking about yourself, quit bringing up politics, and stay on topic for the thread.

Did you even read this article? Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows" Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies. Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station. This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced. Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever. And it doesn't get there overnight. And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site: https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621 A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from. Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq. Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up. So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.

I was just asking to get the story straight. Jsdirt says one version. You say another. Jsdirt said "Trump admitted today that we've grabbed 150 MILLION barrels of oil from the Iranian tankers locked in the Strait by our Navy. We turned off their transponders, took them out to sea in the dark of night since they have zero radar capabilities anymore, offloaded every drop onto another vessel, and put them back by morning so no one was the wiser. That oil has been en-route THROUGHOUT the entire conflict."

Well, now which is it? Iranian oil tankers or tankers from UAE, Saudi, etc? Still not showing me where Trump said it. Until you can show me where Trump said it in a press conference, it's all fake news from the right.

Then tell me when did he say it? I'm just trying to validate your point of view. Seems that you two and Glenn Beck are the only ones that heard it. ChatGPT: Yes, Donald Trump did make statements along those lines, but not exactly that the U.S. seized tankers, pumped the oil out, and then returned them. In remarks on June 10, 2026, Trump claimed the U.S. had secretly helped move large amounts of oil through the Strait of Hormuz despite Iranian interference. He said the U.S. had been "taking out millions of barrels of oil" and described oil tankers moving at night with their lights off. He later posted that he had directed a "secret mission" to support oil tankers and commercial ships through the strait, claiming more than 100 million barrels of oil had reached world markets and over 200 ships had passed safely. However, there is no evidence that Trump said the U.S. boarded oil tankers, pumped the oil out of them, and then put the tankers back. The claims were about helping ships transit the Strait of Hormuz, not confiscating or unloading their cargo. It's also worth noting that Trump's statements were questioned by his own Energy Secretary, Chris Wright, who testified that he was not aware of the U.S. removing millions of barrels of oil, though he did say the U.S. military had helped some oil shipments move through the strait. So the short answer is: Yes, Trump said the U.S. secretly helped move millions of barrels of oil through the Strait of Hormuz. No, he did not say the U.S. took oil out of tankers, emptied them, and then returned the ships. Some of the details and scale of Trump's claims have been disputed or remain unverified.

Could you narrow down to what timestamp in this video where Trump says they took the ships out, pumped the oil out of them, and then put them back? In the first few minutes he stated that ships were taken out during darkness. I thought the media had already reported that the US was escorting ships out. Nothing mentioned about draining them and putting them back. Then he went in to seafood. Please tell me where in the video he says this. I'm just trying to validate your comments. Your Glenn Beck video stated that the US did drain the oil from the ships and put them back. Does he have inside information? Just trying to validate.
