  1. They wouldn’t give me any details other than they were working on a larger tank and agreed that the 24 gallon tank was too small.
  2. When you say that you spoke with Titan was in regards to a larger gas or diesel tank? When chatted with their support they said they were working on for the 3.0 duramax.
  3. My local dealer will put you in a good loaner "if you ask". More than likely something comparable from the used lot. If I don't ask it is some beater car that the service department has. A good sales person will want to make sure their customers are happy. I had an oil change and some other stuff looked at a couple weeks ago. It was taking longer than expected. My salesman came and found me. Gave me a loaded Acadia to drive. Yes it was used. I didn't need a truck right then to go to lunch and to get my other stuff done around town. If I had needed a truck he would have found one. This wouldn't be the case with every dealership.
  4. I didn't have that issue all last winter and this year (Maine). I usually run my defrost on a fairly high setting (temp and fan). I did get the occasion ice build up on the wipers and the where the wipers stop (on both ends of the range of motion). I always use rain x de-icer washer fluid so that helps to break up the ice with a spray. With any truck I have had to sometimes remove the ice if it impacted the wiping ability. Never had the wiper blades freeze to windshield. I do let the truck warm up before using them (in the garage or outside).
  5. My dealer placed my order on Nov 23, 2020. Still waiting. AT4 with 3.0 duramax. Other trucks that they ordered a few weeks before mine have been in transit for a week, so hopefully mine will ship soon. I wasn't expecting to get it before the end of Feb.
  6. I wouldn't accept an equinox as a loaner. Minimum equal value and should be truck. Service department might not have anything better for you but your salesmen should be able to take care of you. When I had to leave my truck overnight my salesman gave me a 2500 LTZ loaded truck. I haven't heard of anyone having that gas issue. Hope they figure it out soon.
  7. I don't know of anything other than the tire rating. The duratracs (according to goodyear website) that come on the TB/AT4 have a speed rating of 99.
  8. That is amazing. How much of your mix is city? Outside temps? Highway speed? Do you let it idle much (either to warm up in the cold or to cool the cabin in the summer)? I have to let my vehicles warm up (idle) for 2-5 min in cold/winter for the wife (easier to spend more on fuel then to listen to her complain). I have an AT4 with the 3.0 on order, hopefully it will ship soon. The mileage is one of the reasons for me ordering the 3.0.
  9. You speed is limited to the tires that shipped with the truck. My 6.2 is limited to 98 (TB with duratracs).
  10. He has a custom TB. The 5.3 in that trim gets a 6 speed.
  11. at those pressure settings that shouldn't be a problem. I will say that my duratracs have some road noise. I have always run a similar tire (duratracs, general grabber ATX, BFG KO2, Goodyear MTR) so I am used to some level of road noise. I will say that the duratracs seem to have gotten louder in the past few months (just under 11k miles on them) which I believe is normal for these tires. I have rotated them twice.
  12. Do you need the height of the bed camper for toolboxes/stuff that is taller than the bed? If not you might want to check out https://diamondbackcovers.com/.
  13. I have friend that bought a brand new 2500 last year and it was the same thing with the mileage but the mileage was even less (around 300 miles). The person that bought it had a trust fund set up for them. They couldn't directly withdraw the money but could use it for buying a vehicle. So they bought the most expensive 2500 (gas engine) on the lot and added a bunch of accessories. Didn't barely drive it. Then sold it back to the dealer after a month. 75k new and my friend got if for about 55k. He also traded a toyota highlander for more than he paid for 3 years prior.....
  14. I was just offered u150 this past Sunday (Jan 10). I parked the truck and turned it off as instructed. Had breakfast at the restaurant and was done when I came out. I have yet to see any difference but I haven't made any trips over 5 miles so I haven't had enough time to notice.
  15. 10 speed is awesome. Super smooth. Always seems to be in the right gear. I have driven previous GMs with the 6 speed, Tundra with 6 speed and Ram with 8 speed. No comparison.
  16. What did they do for the rear brake squeak?
  17. Get whatever color speaks to you. All my recent trucks have been black, dark gray or pewter. When I got my TB a year ago I had planned on red but got black. I ordered an AT4 a month ago. Cardinal red. Something different for me. Satin steel would have been my second choice. It will get dechromed and black badges. All of the colors look great on these truck and the only color I wouldn’t own is white. I also got red as I have yet to see a red at4 in my area. Every one gets satin steel or black
  18. I have a 20 TB with the 6.2 for a year now. Test drove an LTZ with the 3.0 just before thanksgiving as I just wanted to test drive the 3.0. Super impressed. Not as quick as my 6.2 but still had plenty of power and you can tell that all the torque is available at 1500 RPM. I thought the noise level was acceptable and comparable, if not quieter, to my truck (I do have duratracs). while not a long test drive I did average 24.8 MPG over 16.4 miles. mix of country road (45 mph), state road (55 mph) and some in town driving. I did go over the speed limit some and did a few hard accelerations. Truck had 192 miles on it so not broke in. No tonneau cover either. Was I impressed? I ordered a AT4 with the 3.0L 2 days later with the exact options that I want/need.
  19. 2019 Silverado Introduces Electronic Parking Brake | GM Authority (google.com) This is a chevy but I think the GMC would be in the same place. just a button to press. no handle or pedal.
  20. So if the offset is 24 is that + or -? I am assuming plus. If a wheel is then 20 or 25 how does that compare? I think lower the number the more it would stick out when compared to stock? stock wheel is 18x8.5. it looks like a lot of wheels come 18x9. Stock tires mount up fine with that size difference? how does the offset get impacted with the wider after market wheel? Sorry for the "dumb" questions. Never actually replaced OEM wheels before.
  21. 10 speed for sure. Doesn't sound like you don't do much offroad so the TB might be good for you?
  22. I have an AT4 on order and will be looking at possibly replacing the wheels. What is the stock offset? I would want to keep the same offset or only push the tires out a whisker (I don't really want them outside the wheel well). Does anyone know what the stock wheels weight? Curious how they would compare to the weight for aftermarket for unsprung weight. Still looking at wheel options but one of the contenders is this one: Fuel 1-Piece Wheels Tech - D670 Wheels & Tech - D670 Rims On Sale (fueloffroad.com) Specifically these stock wheels.
  23. Same here. First thing/use. Especially when backing out of the garage.
  24. I had the general grabber ATX on my previous truck (2016 ram rebel). drove good. handled good. Noise was fine on the highway. way better traction than the toyo tires that came on the truck. The place I bought them from had trouble getting them balanced (took a couple tries). They were heavier than the stock toyo tires. didn't notice any power loss but MPG took a slight hit.
