I can't say much more but can confirm that both the new HD and SUV designs will be unveiled in the month of September. As a result, we will be adding new forums for each of the new models in the near future.

 

Stay tuned for details in the near future. I have dates but can't speak on them quite yet.

Can you at least say the new design is totally different unlike the new truck models?

Can't wait to see the SUV's and HD Trucks!

All the major online media outlets extensively covered the trucks and the newest Car & Driver (only mag I still get that would cover trucks) has a write up this month, which the Chevy won.

Hope GM has improvements for the K2 SUVs over the K2 trucks or they won't even get much press coverage. People like to see new and improved in vehicle debuts.

 

Hey look it's Mr Negitivity. Maybe you should go buy a Ram. You might enjoy rebuilding your transmission every 50,000 miles and fixing rust holes after 2 years on the road but I like driving my vehicle. Just sayin...

Hope they fix the no rear flat floor mess they started with the 900s. Up tell the 900s you could get 8 ft. of flat floor for hauling, camping (like in sleeping area) etc...Then they went to the second row tumble seats that took more room and the craters in the floor. This is why I bought a Sierra in 09.

 

I am sure they will go to stow-away third seat. Just hope they lose the tumble for the second row and go back to the flip of the bottom portion of second row seat. They went to the tumble to allow access to the third row. Which is used mostly by kids and they can climb anything to get there.

 

I was told the suvs would look like the trucks on the front. But this link says different fronts and the SUVs will be unveiled @ the good old Texas State Fair this Sept.

Well he sort of got you as it was in the left lane link in the post before his. Looking forward to finding out what they do with the floor from front seats back and how they flip the second row. I expect the 3rd row will be the into the floor trick?? Let us know and save me a 500 mile trip.

      Vehicle Payments

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
