What do you drive?

 

 

nothing at the moment, I sold my POS GM truck.

 

you drive nothing . not even a car . So you sold your truck to replace it with nothing . That means you dont have a job, and you are some kid that is being annoying or some older washed out guy that has no money and is always complaining about other peoples stuff that its not good enough and always thinks what is best and what he would do but you dont have even a truck. Its always poor losers that think they know everything lol or have all the answer lol .

 

 

:lol:

 

I meant I don't have a truck. We do have 2 cars.

Why even hang around? I too sold my POS Ford but you don't see me over there Trolling around. You sure you don't just miss driving a real truck... why else would you still be here???

 

 

Because I am not brand loyal to any brand. I know a LOT about GM trucks, specifically the GMT400/800/900 platforms. I would not rule out another GM truck, just not a GMT900. GM has a LOT to prove to me with the next gen. I may buy an F150, but I am debating waiting until the new gen comes out to see what improvements they made.

 

 

You got 2 years before that to happens. Every brand puts out a lemon or two. I myself had two F150's and both had transmission issue (02,05). I've been driving GM cars for a long time and it was about time to switch brands over on my truck. IMO Ford has the best looking truck out there... mostly referring to the 04-08 and pre 96. but if it can't hold up there is no point in wasting my mony on it. I put a transmission in my 2005 F150 last year and it only had 66K miles on it. That truck also had spark plug issues, fuel injector issues, and a laundry list of other crap that broke... in the firts 5K miles I had to have the entire sunroof assembly and headliner replaced. That was the end of my relationship with Ford.

 

Now, My sister and my wife's brother both have GMT900's as does 2 coworkers and none of them have had issues with theirs. Maybe you just had a bad truck. Either I would still think you would need something to drive..

I would sell a not so vital organ for a new GM truck :)

 

 

 

Well I don't really think the first kidney is vital. The second one on however..... :lol:

I am not condemning GMT900's based solely on my experience with mine. That would be stupid. I condemned them based on my experience along with my assessment of their build quality (or lack thereof) in general. Even outside of the many issues I had, the quality simply was not there. And most, if not all, of the issues I experienced are fairly common. GM dropped the ball big time on this gen truck, and it is somewhat understandable (but not forgiveable) due to the state of their corporation during development.

again with the why even hang around. I can tell you first hand that I learned a lot on the Ford forums. There were always someone posting the same issues I was experiencing... That to me doesn't sound good about any vehicle. I don't see no where new the same amout of post for problems with these trucks here or on the other forum I am on.

 

So if you are not going to forgive them why not just move one. Who knows, maybe you are just 15 or something. lol eithway good luck with your journey :seeya:

Sorry, I am not going anywhere. Why do you and the others get all butthurt and make juvenile accusations just because my opinion doesn't match yours anyway?

 

You guys all need to grow up!

 

Why does everyone keep feeding the troll :dunno: If you don't listen/respond, they just go away :dunno:

 

 

 

The irony here is that the butthurt people here attacking me are disturbing the site (which is by definition "trolling") more so than I ever have.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
