Interesting. Dodge door handles, Toyota roofline, a strange windshield that looks like the top is cut off, Dodge Durango wheels and a sliding payment window from check into cash on the back glass. In the end, it may turn out to be a beautiful truck, but the more they reveal the happier I am that I pulled the trigger a few months ago. Did I mention that it is truck month at GM right now? Tons of incentives and zero percent...Besides, the current models will be considered "classics" in about a year...

Incentives are actually lower than they've been in ages according to an article I read the other day. I also think sliding windows are pointless, just another source of wind noise and I hate wind noise.

I like the tailgate fin a lot. I also like the rest of what I'm seeing so far.

 

The fin is a good idea but if itis anything like the dodges tailgate i'll be dissapointed. I like the plastic cap on the 900's as i know i'm just grabbing plastic. My dads dodge has the built in tailgate like fin and you have your hand on paint everytime you lift the tailgate up. Don't like the fact that i'm grabbin paint to put the tail gate up.

You can have your sliding windows, I'll stick to my one piece with defrost, which unlike a sliding window has a purpose. :lol:

 

 

i like my defrost too, sliders are useless to me

to be honest, it really dosent look too much different from the 900's.. the lines are all different but it still has the basic looks of the 900.. front end dosent look too much different which it a good thing.

 

i dont like the rake i see, and i dont like the rims.

I am not a fan of the whole "fin", as here up north many of us run canopies and they don't work well with that...

 

I do think the truck looks good, at least from what you can see and I am interested to see how the new motors perform

I think that the coolest back window in a truck slides all the way down. I think it's on a Toyota. Ugh. I just barfed in my mouth a little.

 

My buddy's old SportTrac had one. You wouldn't believe the things that window was used for.

Meanwhile, I have fun watching the ice fall off of mine....

Not Toyota, it's on the Nissan Titan:

This was something I was hoping GM would do on the K2X's, but it looks like they may have made the opening smaller!

Toyota has the one-piece lowering window on the crew cab Tundras and 4Runners too. And they retain defrost. I still have no interest as it's just another regulator to fail and another source for wind noise as the truck ages. If I'm above like 40-45 MPH the windows are up and the ACs on, I can't stand the wind noise from a window at speed.

Yeah because you can see the body through the camo. And the trucks weren't why GM needed a bailout.

So far with the exterior, GM swung and missed...well they may have fouled it off but not a solid hit. They better hit it out of the park with the interior or they will be belly up again and begging for more money.

 

 

GM swung and missed according to who?

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There would be one way of determining the quality of the factory oil although probably more than a typical oil lab test, and that would be to draw out some oil from a new truck and send a sample to a lab that could do a more elaborate test of the oil. The issue with too little oil in the diff may not be the lack of lubrication of the diff bearings and gears themselves ( although a lack of oil volume for cooling ) but the wheel bearings because at some point the oil would be too low to properly get onto the spinning axle or fed along the axle tube. That was the claim by the local dealer from a couple of trucks in recent years that had the wheel bearings fail and they figured from lack of sufficient oil due to a severe underfilled diff and some of the bearing material made its way to the diff and it got damaged as well so the axle housings were just replaced on warranty. But your right that if the diff is over filled by whatever margin that it causes more churning of the oil than is desirable and that is no good either and can cause a pinion seal to leak. Also old oil I believe can tend to loose some of its properties like antifoaming and another good reason to change the diff oil every so often.

      I would be surprised if the diff's were not filled (with the cheapest gear lube) at the axle factory before being shipped to GM.  If you ever watched them building trucks they install the axles and all suspension parts with the frame upside down and then turn it over before its time to install the engine.     Too much gear lube in a axle can be worse than not enough especially with a lower quality GL where is get whipped up with entrained air (foam)  weakening its ability to lubricate.

      This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.
