I remember the looks I got when I bough the redesign 94 Ram. Mixed reviews for sure. My answer, I can't see it in the drivers seat.

Yeah, but every time you park the thing and turn around and look back as you walk away, your stomach gets a little queasy........

I wouldn't hesitate to buy the new HD.  Looks are subjective.  Most of us look back at vehicles that appeared weird when new and now we look at them as a fond memory.  Chevy seems to "experiment" with  their front grill work while GMC keeps a similar theme.   I can't see my front grill when driving and most of the family I care about take no interest in my truck.  In a crowded parking lot, my dog will go to any truck as if it was mine.  My wife will look for any four door brown truck..... ;-)

 

If I can't make something look aesthetically appealing (at least to me , if no one else), then I don't care how well it handles, how much power it has, how comfortable it is, etc.....

 

I won't buy it.

 

And trust me. There ain't no amount of Zaino that would polish the ugly off that thing........

OP HERE......WOW, lots of action here. I have been very busy with family in town over the last week, and working all this week....just wanted to update everybody....It was my ultimate realization that I did not want to spend 60k on a new truck, and potential have some doubt as to wether or not I made the right decision, and lose all the money right when I drove off the lot. So I decided the New Sierra was out, even though I still love that AT4. its a BA truck......so after weeks of test driving multiple used vehicles....I narrowed it down to the Chevy/Sierra or the F150....Ram was out from the start. So what did I do????

 

I bought both,=D =D...... Ill drive them for 6months or so then decided which one I like more then sell one. =D  Pics to come after my weekend of work!

Can't say I have ever heard of this approach before but assuming you can get roughly what you put into the one you sell, I suppose this is about as good as it gets for comparison sakes.

My wife was not super thrilled with the idea, but Ill recoup the $ once I'm done, and who knows, maybe ill decided sooner. It deff gives me a lot of peace of mind, and I just trade out daily, its a great way to compare......Dont have the K2 picked up yet though, still at the dealership, gotta get it next week. Got our old vehicles to unload right now, and recoup some cash. Family of 3, with 5 vehicles in the driveway right now lol

I did that I went through a clean used truck faze. I bought a 98 used 2 door Tahoe and a clean used Ford lariat. Drove them both for a while. Then I saw my 92. Sold the first two and kept the 92, that was eight years ago.

I have a 17 Sierra I bought in December, and just picked it up from service.  No idea what happened to my wiring harness but it took them 3 days to find it and it was covered under warranty.  They gave me a 19 Silverado RST as a loaner.  I was so happy to have my truck back it’s not even funny.  I didn’t like the new Silverado, and I thought it felt cheaper on the inside.  Seats aren’t as comfortable either.  I liked the transmission better and keyless ignition is nice, but I don’t regret not getting a 19 one bit.

Good luck to you if you can make that work. I think it's  a crap shoot whether or not you can get ALL, or even MOST of your $$ back. I've never been lucky enough to pull that off.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, the key seems to be with the half tons that if it has the Z71, then it definitely has the two speed. What got me was that the two speed AND the lower geared towing package option could not be chosen together the last few years unless it was mated up to the 6.2. Want the 3.0 duramax and 3.73 tow gears ... nope, can't get the two speed transfer case ( neighbor son realized that after he had bought his used 3.0 half ton .. where the frick is the low range ? ! ).    I am still unsure which truck series, the half ton or the HD truck that the original poster is referring to for sure other than yes his question is in the HD section of this forum but that doesn't guarantee the question got asked in the right section.
