  1. Where's the egr valve on these things? They tend to worry a lot of people with their knocking, on various vehicles.
  2. It's not stealing. They didn't I tend to deprive you of anything. It's also not malicious destruction of property. They didn't have malice or intent to damage anything. Had they been made aware of an after market product, maybe thing would've gone differently. It maybe be GM nav but it wasn't added by the dealer or GM. MVI should probably show some good will and help put out this fire, just to save bad publicity against this risk for any new customers. Maybe they're too busy handling similar complaints to get back to you right away? At least show some support for an original customer/owner.
  3. Or ground frost heaving the pad
  4. They get an allowance for all vehicles they make combined and are allowed offset unused credits to other vehicles.
  5. How long was the wait on the wheel?
  6. I concur. My only interest in it would be if it offered an under drive, which would only be used for towing, and a higher overdrive to save fuel. That's not gonna happen. The current 6 gears allow engine to wind up through each gear. The 7.3 has to make 30 more horsepower to get a hair better torque. But with a narrower power band between 10 gears, is it getting there efficiently? Maybe that had something to do with the overheating issue that got ignored in that video where it supposedly outperformed Chevy towing up the mountain? As mentioned, all that shifting induces heat and wear. Add all the extra moving parts and servos. I don't like buying transmissions as it is. There are other things I'd rather be improved before worrying about this transmission.
  7. The GM are virtually door jam to door jam, stopping just over the kick plate on each side. No peaky lips or risers to trip over or hold water. Easily removable to hose off.
  8. Aside from additional wear and tear on your phones charging port or the wire itself. And battery life reduction from using the phone while hooked to a charger, but we all do that anyway.
  9. Try finding an upholstery video on YouTube. You should be able to pull the seat cover off and access the cushion without removing the bench.
  10. If you're planning on omitting payments and are worried about on star tracking you down, the repo man would just pick you off with a license plate reader these days, anyway.
  11. Hmmm. What would be the point of owning a truck then? That's a known tactic for gaining traction when on a boat ramp, an icy grade, stuck in mud, snow or sand. Im guessing my custom isn't an issue with this warning? I did get hun up in the sand once. Rocking the truck with wheels turned sharp got me into traction control errors and a service light. Fortunately after I got onto the road it reset itself after a short drive. Was worried I was gonna have to hit the dealer to clear a code
  12. Ranchos are made in the south west. The RS9000s I had on my old lifted grand Cherokee road nice, but by the second winter up here, they looked like 20 year old rust buckets.
  13. I would just take a measurement of the front end empty and then with two adults inside. Both before and after. It probably won't budge empty, but may start to show a little more sag when loaded. If it does droop a bit, then turn the keys back up to your first measurements.
  14. Finally got around to ordering a couple pairs of black. One set for my brother. Clean transaction, arrived the day that was promised. Clean design. Now if it wasn't so cold out to stick them on.
  15. The ride will likely get better. Any harshness for me anyway, was much better than having to much cushion or sway when you don't want it. The 2500 rides in rails comparatively.
  16. Always wondered how registering for the draft could be legal if we weren't already considered a militia.
  17. If you have any bite left, everybody says to add heat as it uses a thread lock compound. Maybe see if an easy out wants to bite, if it does, heat up the screw and try turning.
  18. Curios why you don't go with the custom model? It'll add the bed liner which is nice, plow prep and tow prep.
  19. Check the options on the HD. My custom came with plow prep package which is heavy torsion bars, skid plate, alternator upgrade and the hidden pigtail for a strobe in the break light spoiler. Also came with tow package and bed liner. Most customs I've seen have those options, if not all of them. Still get the folding mirrors and back up/line up cameras. The 6.2 and 6.6 are essentially the same engine, so they have suffered similar bulletins with the valve train. The 6.2 uses higher compression pistons reducing displacement. The 6.6 has a beefed up iron block for durability under load. The 6.6 won't be able to be tuned like a Camero, but it's no slouch. The programming is set up to provide power under load. The shifting of the beefed up 6 speed is smooth and it holds gear up grades nicely, rather than down shifting and launching you when you crest the hill. Mileage can suck if you're messing around. But when taking it easy it's not so bad considering the truck is a good ton heavier than the 1500.
  20. Locker engaging/disengaging?
  21. As mentioned above, additional handles would proba ly interfere with the airbags. With low production numbers, there isn't much after market support for these rigs yet, even if they wanted to risk liability of compromising a pillar integrity with drilling, or interfering with an airbag. I still have my fingers crossed for somebody to crack codes for tuning and electronic mods. Probably not likely, due to the small market.
  22. If I do this mod, I'd probably either use a tiny brush and paint the bare metal edges or even paint on a thin layer of epoxy over those edges. Can't imaging having a bit of the silicone being pushed away during the install and being exposed if the foam gasket breaks down later.
  23. Unfortunately, there aren't that many of these on the road. Plus, we'll probably be I to the next model version before the supply complications are relieved, as well. Add to that, many like myself, haven't been putting a lot of miles on these, initially. Makes me apprehensive about keeping it long term as planned.
  24. Curious if anybody noticed any added turbulence causing the mirrors to shake? Had that issue on a previous experience with a different model.
