I replaced that front plastic piece with a metal one when I had my '99. It was nice knowing she was a bit more protected from road hazards. As for the truck today, just a drive in the rain.

 

Did a guy on the forum make it? I know he was at one time never did pick one up.

 

I am going to bedliner the one I bought hopefully sound deaden debris hitting it.

I want a dmax so bad. Except for the added expense of a diesel, and diesel fuel lol

I only run 91 and diesel is almost always cheaper. And you get a lot more bang for your buck anyhow.

Diesel is damn near $1 cheaper than 91 here

I believe last I saw diesel and mid grade (89) were the same price around here. I don't NEED a diesel, it's just a strong desire. Plus I tend to run through transmissions like crazy so I'm sure the Allison would hold up to me [emoji106]

Well yeah duh not that hard for this guy to break something. Don't know what it is. 6 speed in my new truck is starting to shift odd and clunk a little. 18k miles

We're over $3 a gallon for name brand diesel up here. Growing up, diesel & #2 home heating oil was always MUCH cheaper than gasoline by a long shot. They're really putting the screws to us ... whoever "they" are ...

 

We're higher than most of the country to begin with, thanks to state taxes. Thankfully not as bad as CT or CA, but we're getting there it seems. NJ is the cheapest as far as the northeast goes, only because they don't tax fuel. They don't have to, since they violently wallet-rape homeowners there. :sick: The board would collectively spit out expensive whiskey if I told them how much they pay. For most, it's 5 figures!! Alot pay well into 5 figures for a modest home with land. Government gone wild ....

 

I have to run 93 (Sunoco has 94) in mine or it'll detonate itself to pieces when towing. I'm actually surprised that hasn't happened yet .. (knocking LOUDLY on wood :uhoh: ).

Yeah it was either a guy here on Pacific Audio...it was that long ago, ha. Yep, coating it sounds like a good plan. I coated the rear wheel wells before putting the liners in.

Diesel here is well over 93, usually around $3.60 to $4.30, depending on how far south you go. To be honest you guys make me feel bad for running 87 in my truck :nonod:

Yesterday afternoon: Filled up for the first time since leaving the dealership last week. 20.9 gallons, 430 miles for an average economy of just over 20mpg on a brand new truck with not a whole lot of freeway driving. For the size and power this truck has, I'm impressed.

 

Then, I took it home and washed it, got all the fingerprints off the dash (people love to touch the inside of new cars..), cleaned the new-truck film off the inside of the windows, checked all the fluids again, and set the tire pressure to 35 on all 4 tires. They were inflated too high from the dealer...almost 40psi when cold.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
