It was ok. Chevy won as I knew it would. Even with worst driver.

 

A. F450 vs 3500's.

B. Left on 0lbs of boost in drag race and still won. If u noticed at 1st sec or 2 side by side with Dodge then got in boost and said see ya.

C. Ass didn't turn traction control and stable lock off for burnout.

D.towing challenge was a joke. My half ton could of done any of those.

 

That's two wins for Chevy in tough truck challenge.

Agreed. For a truck challenge, it really wasn't a challenge for any of them. Kinda a letdown for the show. And the burn out one kinda pissed me off. I was yelling at my tv.. TURN OFF TRACTION CONTROL YOU DOUCHE. :thumbs:

It was a good episode but i felt that they could have made it a two part episode because they really didn't do anything to demanding or challenging for the trucks.

 

I can't wait for the next episode though! Blazer vs Bonco vs Jeep!! .Now that will be a good episode

HAHAHA I was doing the same thing. I liked how Tanner was calling it a 350 when it was a 450.

 

Everything they did was all about traction and not power except for the drag race. The Ford was aready spoiled up and dumb ass wasnt in the Chevy. It was cool to see but was a dumb comparison.

I liked the driving up the hill and the ford just kept burying it self. I would have liked to seen some heavy pulls of the same object and a good old tug-o-war. I think even with traction control off the Chevy would have lost to the ford in the burn out, one things fords do well is spin tires.

Could have been better. Ford probably paid them off to try and make themselves look good. I would lay money down that Rutledge didn't turn the TC and Stabiltrack off. :thumbs:

Tanner said he owned many f350 so he knew how to drive it. He turned traction control off and why he got stuck. Dodge and Chevy's were left on and didn't even spin a tire. In that pea gravel u spin your done.

Sorry if my opinion bothers anyone but that word pretty much describes all the ding dongs on that show, as far as I am concerned.

Was the dodge really a 6 cyl???? He referred to it as one multiple times... How was that a fair match up? Plus what the hell was the point of pulling down a telephone pole? Pulling the train even tho its on wheels is the real meaning of pulling... They should have all hooked up to the treain to see who could pull it farthest in X amt of time.

      Clean During the Day. Serious Light at Night. Sierra HD 40" PRO Kit

      By mandrautomotive · Posted

      Hey everyone, If you've been looking for a way to add serious lighting to your 2024–2026 GMC Sierra 2500HD or 3500HD without sacrificing the truck's clean factory look, I wanted to share one of our favorite setups. Our 40" PRO Light Bar Kit is designed specifically for the refreshed Sierra HD and mounts behind the grille for a built-in, OEM-style appearance. The kit is completely bolt-on, uses factory mounting points, and doesn't require any cutting or drilling. It's also designed not to interfere with the active grille shutters or radiator airflow. A few highlights:   Fits 2024–2026 GMC Sierra 2500HD & 3500HD Compatible with PRO, SLE, SLT, AT4, Denali, and Ultimate trims Curved 40" PRO LED light bar with advanced TIR optics Available in White + Amber DRL or Yellow + Amber DRL Complete bolt-on installation Lifetime warranty   We also put together a light output video so you can see how the PRO light bar performs in real-world nighttime conditions. It does a great job showing the beam pattern, width, and distance before you decide if it's the right setup for your truck.   Is anyone else running hidden grille lighting on their Sierra HD? We'd love to see your setup! If you have any questions about fitment, installation, or choosing between the white and yellow beam options, feel free to ask. We're always happy to help. __________________________ www.MandRonline.com https://www.instagram.com/mandrautomotive/ M&R LED Light kits - www.MandRonline.com | Burbank CA https://www.youtube.com/@MandRautomotive

      It is, It is the purpose. Just ask that everyone plays nice     On another note. The Terrain and the Equinox are fraternal twins. The one we have is spitting distance from 300K and yes, it has been problematic. Oil consumption is inexcusable. That said, nearly everything else fell into the "Routine Maintenance" bucket or expected failure due to age or accident. The 2015 Generation are very comfortable and they drive dreamy. The six speed is a rockstar save for the cheap failure prone manual automatic physical switch in the shifter. I called it quits after three.   The Ecotec 2.4 I-4 sans the GDI pump junk is nearly bulletproof. The hardest thing we experienced with this SUV was rear wheel alignment. The back axle is a starter kit. Toe bolts need to be installed as do extended range camber bolts. Then you have to find someone not new to the planet that has the skill and patients for the horrendous task of dialing it in. But once set, it is rock solid.    The new ones....yea, I'll pass. I have one CVT and it is enough. They could be a good transmission but someone would have to really care designing it.  Subaru seems to have it down fairly well.

      When most people look at GM's EV strategy, they think it was dumb. Obviously, duh?   In hindsight, there was significant financial risk in becoming obsolete if GM didn't go all-in, like a lot of automakers. Had the EV market taken off, GM would have been left defenseless.   Not all of their $10.9B was lost. Only a part of that was sunk costs like supplier penalties and retooling for EV's they canceled or never made.   A sizable chunk of that was R&D and intellectual property which is still in their back pocket for future EVs.   GM hedged the risk but overspent, but then they pivoted and focused on their bread and butter. Not only did GM still have the financial prowess to do that, they've done so successfully. It shows a lot of resilience and the market rewarded it.

      Torsion adjustment

      Here is my '26 with just the torsions adjusted up approximately 1.5", aligned & good to go.  Ride is somewhat stiffer but level & looks great IMO.   Tires are Nitto Trail Grappler MT's 35 x 12.5 x 20 on stock rims. Truck has about 14,500 miles
