Been a Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep driver for the past 17 years.  Had a 2004 RAM 2500 quad cab diesel 4x4 that I just sold a couple years ago.  Got into a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee with Hemi.  Was a nice vehicle for the past 4 years, but at 102,000, was time to trade her in (besides, I want my truck back!).  Wasn't happy with the reviews of the 2018 RAM, so I've decided to give GM a chance again.  Just got her three days ago.

Thanks.  I'm not ashamed to say I like Dodge trucks, that 2500 diesel was the best truck I've ever had (so far).  In the 12+ years I had it (even after lifting it 6" and adding 35" tires), the only thing I ever had to do to it was replace one brake caliper, replace 1 u-joint (I did replace the others when I put on the lift though just to be sure), replaced brake pads, and the little gear housing on one of the power seat motors cracked ($68 replacement off ebay).  That's it.  I really hated selling it, but had some financial struggles at the time and needed the money, or I'd still have it.

 

I'd love nothing more than to get a shiny new Ram 2500 Cummins diesel again, but good lord, I can't justify $65,000 for a truck (over $70,000 if you get some creature comfort goodies).  I can buy a decent little house here in PA for that!

 

I will say this about my new Silverado though, so far I'm loving it, and as far as looks go, I think it's the nicest looking truck I've ever bought in terms stock out of the dealer.  I don't look at it and immediately start running a list of a lot of mods and changes I want to make to it.  I want a tonneau cover and to clear bra the front end.  I'm on the fence about a 2" level kit.  And I am considering the little plug in device to remove the pedal delay, but now that I'm getting used to it, it doesn't bother me much.

 

One thing that I was concerned about was the offset steering (I'm a little OCD) and things like that typically bother me.  It is a non issue, not even really noticeable unless you sit there and look for it.  In fact, having the wheel slightly to the right is actually a little more comfortable since I drive with my right handle a lot.

 

While I do miss my big Ram diesel, I don't think this Chevy is going to disappoint. 

 

You’ll get over the offset steering wheel pretty quick cause all you’re going to think about now are all the things you’re going to do with your awesome new truck. I did the 2” front billet aluminum upper and lower and 1” in the rear.

The GMC looks like it drove through an ugly tree that had fallen over, and then reversed over it for good measure. I haven't seen something that ugly since the Aztec.

Oh man the aztek was hideous. I dont know what was going through their mind approving that p.o.s

Nice truck, looks like you barely cleared that curb. I always preferred lowering a bit for handling.

You are right it barely clears most of them. And it handles like a dream

It's funny how opinions differ.  Everyone I've talked to so far about the new '19 Chevy and GMC have raved about how great they look, how much improved they are over the ugly-ish '16 style Silverado, and all that.  I've yet to hear a negative comment...until the posts in this thread. lol

I’d stick with the old body styles unless they came out with this59485c1bf64f5af6efaa8603b0a68b7e.png

Luckily for people like me they are continuing to build the current Gen under the Silverado LD 2019 and the Sierra limited 2019 I believe tell sales run low.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
