14..since it wasn't a "half and half" year truck like the 1999, 2007, etc.

 

Ok, but please vote (so later people don't have to scroll down and read all the posts. ha)

Anyone who calls it the NNNNNNBS will be terminated by hanging!!!!!!!!! So dumb! the K2 without the X's seem a good bet but I can handle GMT 1000

X2. I hate the NBS naming cause no one uses it the same way. Too many generations of trucks now so it needs to go. But do we know this chassis is actually GMT1000? Because the 88-98 was GMT400 then 99-07 was 800. Not always sequential.

GMT 1000 makes no sense since this is the K2 platform

GMT 1000 sounds best to me

 

If that's not what it's called then it'd be silly to call it that.

 

 

I hereby declare the new trucks be called the GMT1000000.

 

:D

K2XX is it's official GM designation, Why the Fu%k would anyone call it anything else

I was under the impression that the X's in K2XX were placeholders and we were still waiting to hear an official number designation..?

I was thinking the same thing.

 

Kinda like Airbus's A3xx and Boeing's 7x7 range of aircraft. Although those were original designation before its entry into service. Kinda late now for GM.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
