^+1. It's probably a great feature for some but I don't want to get into a situation where I'm counter steering a slide or something else and all of a sudden I'm fighting a computer as well at the same time.

Exactly, and I never use auto 4x4 because that's dangerous too.. A guy at work bought a new f150 the 4wd kicked in on a patch of ice and when the tire grabbed it threw him off the road.

Stablitrack.....

 

My problem is the worlds relentless "need" for it... here' s an idea... learn how to drive.. Most people suck at driving anyway but if you make them learn on something that has it what happens when they don't..

 

And the fun part. Stabilitrack is awful on ice... why? It kills power to everything instantly and then it uses the brakes to try and straighten you out... Brakes don't work generally as they usually get you into the slide to begin with. Fine on a dry highway with available traction but on ice the wheel just locks and doesn't help. I proved that over and over in my old 09 and made it automatic that I would hold that button for 8 seconds ever time I started and drove it. But at least you could do that...

 

These stupid new trucks now automatically kick it on above 30 mph and you can't shut it back off.... No thanks..

 

Wheel spin and speed are needed now and again... 4wd or not and that is an absolutely useless feature to have.

 

I said on another forum that if it takes killing the abs on the truck to counter it for winter time driving... so be it.

 

Good example was getting out of my yard with a trailer. I needed wheel spin and 4 wheel drive to get the trailer out... never would have did it with a 2014. Wow... thanks gm.

Why does this state own plow trucks if they don't use them? 45 minute drive to visit friends took 90.

I've wondered that here too. Tons of brine down but they don't blade off the slush, which may freeze. I'd rather drive on snowpack than corrosive slush. :lol:

      on-wheel cellphone control: 2026 1500 WT (2.7L 4WD std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
