  Care to wager that those diesels don’t get better than 20 mpg? Those trucks are well kept and pristine. One is north of 250K the other is close to 175K. Never had any major repairs. It’s amazing how condensation you can get. The difference is I can back up what I say. All you do is get upset and spicy. Karen, that’s funny. Happens to be my wife’s, granddaughter and sister in law’s name. So much for originality.
- Alternate wiring for Kicker sub with Bose system. (DO THIS)
  
  By Mooriartii · Posted 29 minutes ago
  
  I have a 2026 LT Trail Boss with Bose. I am very confused trying to install the GM/Kicker under seat subwoofer kit. The directions want you to tap the yellow/yellow black wire for the front speaker for high level inputs. I do not want to follow those as I want to grab the tap at the Bose amplifier since I don't want to mess up the factory wiring. I picked up a T-harness from Soundgoodstereo that plugs into the 8 pin connector at the amp, I believe x1. This thread started of recommending that. Now question related to this harness, it has four sub wires. I assume one set positive and one set negative. The Kicker amp is only looking for one negative and one positive. Do I just use one set on this harness or do I two positive into one positive and two negative into one positive? Now if I want to use the specified wires in the instructions, is there a T-harness for that? If I could get both then I could test and see which I like better without tapping. Finally is there a place I can get an updated Bose amp pin out diagram? This install should not be as hard as I am making it. Any advice is appreciated. Oh, I will be using the Kicker bass adjust knob.

  I'll take a newer truck over either of the aforementioned bricks any day, all day and nope a one ton diesel isn't getting high 20's (or even 30) average. Hear the same thing all the time on RV forums. "I refuse to own a diesel that uses DEF because they're so unreliable!" Uh, ok Karen, well, you enjoy your busted 20+ year old rigs, nevermind the backbone of this country rides on modern diesels. But sure, let's talk about your ancient Cummings some more. (and yeah, that was an intentional misspell).
- Forward Collision Alert unavailable after adding rear view mirror camera
  
  By Andrew Weaver · Posted 1 hour ago
  
  I recently added the digital rear view mirror camera to my 2022.5 Silverado 1500, and now I have a permanent orange light on my instrument cluster with forward collision alert unavailable message. In the past, I was always able to just pull and replace the fuse on the passenger side fuse box and it would work again, but now it's not working at all. I purchased the kit from Infotainment.com and the harness from Gen5DIY. Has anyone else had this issue or any suggestions?

  Sitting at my parents house are two older diesel trucks not only getting the same fuel mileage that the mini diesel gets. But both have pulled a 14K tractor on a 7K gooseneck trailer. A 2000 Ford one ton diesel and a 1998 3/4 ton 5.9 Cummins. All original. I’m certainly not complaining about the power of today’s trucks. But the additional quest for fuel mileage and the additional pollution devices have taken reliability down to half what it used to be.
