Don't need more power when you lose up to 400lbs....both the 6.2 and 5.3 feel faster than K2. 


It’s 350 weight loss only on the high end models that get the plastic/carbon fiber beds. You cannot touch the new motors for years to come, specially designed that way. The K2 aside of the 8speed is completely programmable which safely adds 35HP and 25+Torque. Don’t get me wrong, I love innovation, just not seeing that much of an improvement aside of its relocating what the K2 already has, considering it’s new build from the ground up.

once you have the push start you will never go back.  So much easier not fooling with the key fob to lock/unlock or start your truck.. just leave in your pocket.  Also don't have a key fob beating around the steering column with every bump you hit.. 

I totally agree with this. My wife has a 2018 Traverse and this is one feature I so wish my truck had.

What were you using to shoot the pics? They are uber clear and detailed...

 

Love that color/chrome combo on that truck. Backseat is a HUGE improvement in comfort and safety (headrests). GM continues to fail hard on interiors like it’s still the 80s...shame since it looks great outside...

The GM interiors are not at Ram level of eye candy but after having been living in one since 2015 it's easilly my favorite interior to live with on a day to day basis. What it lacks in glued on wingdings it more than makes up for in functionality and overall comfort. I had a 2014 Ram 2500 Longhorn with the cattle interior and depsite the fact that no other pickup could touch that level of luxury inside the GM has flat out been much better for me to live with. It was the first time (and last) that I bought a truck heavily based on the interior. The burlwood and Katzan leather interior did not make for a better driving or reliability epxerience in any way shape or form.

Nothing special.  Nikon D3200 I've had for about 5-6 years.  Stock 18-55mm lens, and then a Nikon 35mm lens.

We're all used to seeing cell phone pictures now.  ?

Yup, Lots of candy to distract poor buyer away from the REAL MEAT OF TRUCK!  Check out the impressive bolts sticking out on wheel wells of those brand new 2019's rams as they hold the splash guards up in fender wells?  Ya...RAM at it's finest!

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
