Lord I can’t wait until style comes back full circle to minimalism.  I’ll admit this face is much better then the ugly one earlier.

 

I seriously detest everything these new trucks have become.   It’s like an Affliction T-Shirt wearing monster energy drinking Florida-Georgia line concert at Red Rocks while streaming a UFC fight on your megasized I-phone while standing on a Yeti1000.   I used to think Dodge trucks were most obnoxious in style, (the drivers still are), but I honestly think Chevy took the cake with their new styles.

 

Is it just me or is your typical Chevy fanboy the total opposite of who the execs are trying to marke with these styles?

Styling across the board is changing to the future.

Trucks, SUVs and cars now look like Supercars did back in the day.

Just something we must grow accustomed to :troll:

"Supercars"! They're making them look more like "yuppie mobiles"!

It probably makes sense to style vehicles in a way that is attractive to people who are young, well paid, and have some sense of style.

I’ve been to a Florida Georgia Line concert, but the rest of that stuff I’ve barely heard of.  I do own a Yeti tumbler though, so maybe I am a Yuppie.

 

I like the new High Country and will probably own one as soon as finances allow.

Don’t get me wrong, Florida Georgia line is fun and I’ve seen them in concert.  But when you combine like 10 awesome bro things together and then do donuts with it, I get worn the F out just being near it.   ;)

This trim looks nice. The LT, not so much. The LTZ should be interesting, as well as the Sierra.

 

When I bought my Ford, it was mainly for the room and features. These new trucks have the room and some features, but will they have them all, and at what price point? GM doesn't have any trim to compete with a Platinum (Ford) or a Limited (Ram). The High Country and Denali would be comparable to the King Ranch and Laramie Longhorn.

Looks are secondary to performance and to me it's performance that matters.  The current 15-19s to me are pretty.  The wheels and the side step on the bed of the 20 is growing on me but it will take awhile  before I upgrade my 17.

Yeah this looks better. 

 

Problem is the other front end that we have pics of isn't even the basic WT trim level, it's the LT. For Chevy 's biggest trim level, volume wise, too look like that?? Not good.

Thankfully it will be mostly fleets buying the basic LT front end.  The guy doing fleet ordering for a company couldn't care less what the truck actually looks like... Well for Chevrolets sake that's hopefully what happens lol

Don't forget the protein supplements!

 

But seriously, I'm about as far from that profile as it gets, and the look of this is growing on me,

      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.

      cam upgrade in CA

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
