I think they differently compensate for GM not properly marking the sides of the truck.

Can never have too many lights, with all the morons that possess driver's licenses these days.

 

The law in MA would beg to differ, though. I had one inspector reject my Harley for having a Kuryakyn Panacea LED system. It incorporated the rear turn signals into red brake and running lights, then when the turn signals or hazards were activated, they'd change color to amber. When the brake was activated, the brake light and both turn signals would blink 5 times before staying on steady. I wasn't to crazy about that blinking, but the rest of the system was so great I just had to have it. Well, this dipsh** inspector failed me, claiming "The only vehicles that can have blinking lights are emergency vehicles". When I called b/s on that since these cannot be activated full-time, he threw out, " Well, these lenses are not stamped DOT - so they're not DOT approved." I had these lights on the bike for 3 years already - never had an issue, until I went to these jackasses. I ended up melting my tire out of that place, totally pissed. Went to another place and got a sticker in less than 3 minutes.

 

Basically if you live outside the Northeastern USA, your probably all set. This place just makes the law up as they go. Common sense would tell you, more, brighter, and blinking lights will lessen your chances of getting flattened by some yuppie in his 7-series beemer (while on a motorcycle) ... but common sense does not apply in Massachusetts. :banghead:

I took my 13 on a bit of a trip yesterday long highway drive. Before the cold air I was avarageing 11.7 MPG combined I now avarage 13.9mpg and when I got to Wainwright Alberta I hand calculated my MPG out and I got 16.9 MPG at 110km/h witch I don't think is to bad considering I got 32s a small lift and battled a side wind and rain all the way. And now I find the truck is staying in 6th gear more often its not up and down up and down 5times a minute. If I wasn't selling the truck I'd get it dyno tuned but the text person can do that but wow what a difference I was kinda not wanting to sell it now its actually getting decnt MPG but its still for sale. But dam. I highly recommend a cold air intake if you got a very high flow exhaust like I got 2 3/4 inch dual straight pipes.

ZachM1 youtube conkyconky and you can listen to my exhaust system it sounds like a cammed Big Block.

Sounds good. After my current repairs and mods I'll be looking into intake and exhaust. Just not sure what route I'll go yet. As free flowing as possible with minimal noise.

 

Does it really matter where I sent this from?

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.

      Slate Electric Truck

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
