How is the 8 speed transmission? Did you get the fluid replaced with the new Mobil they recommend? How are the seats? Did they break in nicely? Only two things I am concerned about with the 2019. About to pull the trigger on one.

 

Thanks! 

Transmission is fine and shifts smoothly.  Everyone once in a while if I start up and try to leave too fast, it kicks only once.  I didnt get the fluid changed though yet.  Seats wise they are excellent.  I have driven many trips with this truck some more than 3-4 hours and never felt the seats bothering me.  Very comfortable and the leather is really easy to clean.

I have found that on my TB, I have to let it sit a minute after cold start up to let all the computers stuff "sync" before driving off.  If I quickly start it and drive, that's when it gripes at me with a hard first shift.  These trucks are a lot like an airplane.  There's a checklist of buttons to push before take off!

Haha, very true.  I usually dont just take off immediately but there are occasions when I do.

I pretend the truck is like AirWolf, and make sure all systems are go before take off.  ???

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
