He does some of the best car review on YouTube.  I thought for sure he would rip the 2019 GM trucks, especially since he has already reviewed the 2019 RAM limited.  Anyway.. he rated the Denali slightly higher - basically the RAM has a much nicer interior and tech...which anyone who has learned about the 2019 RAM knows is 100% true.  However, the RAM reliability was a pretty big concern..  

 

Based on a ton of researched for both trucks, and for a time was super close to ordering a 2019 RAM, I do agree.  My finial determination was indeed the same.. RAM is like a Rolls Royce inside.. but is having a lot more first year bugs than we normally see.  I ordered the 2019 Silverado... she don't have as many buttons as the RAM  but if it works right I will be happier than a pig in mud.

Nice Find Evel :thumbs:

2019 RAM is Victim of Many issues so far which is no surprise to me.

You made the right choice going GM.

Doug DeMuro can be entertaining, but saying he does the "best car reviews" on YouTube is a huuugggeee stretch. What he does barely even qualifies as a review. He rarely rips apart any car, especially a brand new one, unless it is just out of this world noncompetitive (like the Mercedes Metris). He is focused on his brand of entertainment.

That guy's voice and intonations drive me nuts. The review wasn't bad, just can't stand the deliverer.

Have to agree with your first point. I only made it a minute through.

Yes, he does look and sound like the IT support guy...  but he knows cars pretty well compared to many others.  What makes me the most mad is seeing some dealers that have no idea of their own product...  they are incorrect on half of what they say...

I have yet to come across any dealer here in the KC area that has known more about the vehicles than I do when purchasing.

For the most part salesman are high turnover and that is probably why.

I agree. I do my homework well before I ever get near the dealer. I have yet to meet a salesman who knows anything at all in depth about their product. It's embarrassing to talk to them. The dealer videos on Youtube crack me up especially when they tout bigger horsepower numbers.

I had a salesman argue with me about the power folding mirrors.

He kept telling me that you can option them on any trim level  LOL

Some things never change.  Looked at a '19 Denali 1500 inside the showroom, loved the truck but the salesperson put a mild damper on my excitement, not horrible, just unknowledgeable and slightly argumentative when challenged.  

 

The good news is the wife is full buy-in, and I scored a major victory in departing before the "manager" could "meet" me!

      Where is the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor on a 2021 Chevy Suburban?

      By newdude · Posted

      Yea that's pretty normal to be off a few degrees.  Usually 2-4 degrees from say a weather app or thermometer.

      Where is the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor on a 2021 Chevy Suburban?

      By studly · Posted

      I just replaced the ambient air temperature sensor.  Easy as pie. I simply had to remove about 10-12 clips on the plastic cover over the radiator and remove two T-10 torx screws on the hood release lever to liberate the cover (Amazingly, none of the clips broke.  All came out and went back in with zero problems). Once the cover was removed, the temp sensor is easily accessible. The sensor cable snakes through a few guides and can be pulled out for even easier access to the sensor. I was able to work the sensor out of the mounting hole.  There is a red sliding catch on the plug that must be pulled back to disconnect the cable.  The plug was quite tight.  I had to use a screwdriver to pry it out. I plugged in the new sensor ($6.45 from RockAuto), snapped it into the mounting hole and re-snaked the cable. I put the radiator cover back on and reattached the lever arm to the hood release.  All done!     I started up my Suburban.  The temperature read 82 °F. Other thermometers at my house read 80 °F.  Close enough.  It might be reading high as my vehicle was sitting in the sun.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      That one looks decent for the price   BUT..I want something that also supports OBDI/1.5. A lot of the prosumer-grade scanners don't have legacy support in order to keep costs low. I believe the Autel does if you go higher end with them.   For fun, I reached out to a local Snap-On rep because I was interested in the 2600. $1895 MSRP, says he can do $1595. That's still a lot, but then again, that's not a horrible discount for just asking out of the blue. Could probably do better if I was a regular buying off his truck, but I'm not.   Not sure if I mentioned but I didn't realize with USED scanners from Snap On that you need to make sure a) the serial number isn't flagged as stolen. On the newer ones, SnapOn can remotely disable the device if it's flagged in their system. And, customer service can tell you if it is, if you're thinking about buying used. B) Make sure it's paid off. If the seller still owes money to the truck or if they financed through Snap On, the device can be remotely disabled until the balance is paid. It's less clear if SnapOn will tell you if a balance is still owed; I didn't make it that far with the used model I was considering. I did read that SnapOn has no way of tracking any "truck financing" deals between the SnapOn rep and buyer, only if they financed through corporate. So there's that extra caution needed.   Still waffling on whether I go with a ~$500ish Autel/TopDon or spend bigger money. The value seems to be in the prosumer brands. I'm not giving them enough credit TBH, actual production repair shops use them daily BUT I'm still allergic to certain kinds of underdog products trying to unseat American companies with solid reputations. SnapOn's scanner isn't wholly made in the US, but it is assembled here and they have US support and probably the most proven/ robust legacy support.   Something to think about. Value, or principles? There's a $1k difference.

      Winter Returned

      By Atlas · Posted

      I'm thankful to live where we don't have extreme weather. We might all be blown to smithereens when Mt. Rainier goes, but 80 is warm enough in the summer and I can generally count the number of hard freezes in the winter on one hand. The cars here don't rust and they don't get sun-baked, either.   We have finished off many of our average 52 days of "clear/sunny" weather, though. Sunsets are coming earlier, the nights are a little cooler. It's right around the first week of September when we get our first warning that summer is coming to a close with overcast skies and the start of "hoodie weather" temperatures during the cooler parts of the day. By October, it's usually time to ditch the shorts. By November, it's mostly raining.
