If Tesla does a pickup it needs a big V8. I know I know it's not the future of automotive propulsion but who cares. We as people are writing the future so it can become what we want it to be.
Reason I absolutely hate Ford it that they are trying to cram small forced air engines down our throats and telling us it's for the best.
Sure I can handle those engines as a option but I don't want one
Don't want electric either.
Maybe a 300 mile range e lol electric scooter but not a car or truck.
Don't want this self driving crap either. What is happing to society? Skills are disappearing at a alarming rate and the "sheeple" don't care. We as a collective body of humans are in a sad state of affairs...I was probably born in the wrong era.

How's that Bollinger B1 coming along?

 

For my personal needs (mostly in town driving and no towing), I'd love an electric truck. I grew up on farm land, so a truck was a given, but now I just drive one because that's what I've always driven and I'll probably never drive a car. I supercharge all of my trucks, so an electric truck with the crazy torque they can make would be really fun. But the price and my dislike of Musk are the biggest holdbacks.

They might have tried but why?  Honda, Toyota, Nissan are the leaders in cars.  Hence why Ford is dropping most of their car line and just going with trucks and SUV's.  To them that is where the money is.  Well, until the next major gas spike.

Gas is hovering around $5/US gallon for 87 octane here in Southern Ontario - trucks/large SUV’s are selling like hot cakes.

 

Domestic cars are not selling worth a hoot, because they are inferior to the Asian/German cars. - even with high gas prices people are still buying trucks.  And if they need a second vehicle, Honda is closing in on 21 consecutive years as the #1 seller in Canada.  

 

The truck sales won’t be slumping anytime soon...

To hell with musk and his over hyped over priced crap.  He lied about the range of his class  8 truck,    No supporting him no matter  what.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
