Hopefully whoever's styling the new front end wears their glasses this time.

It’s interesting to me all the complaining with the interior. I’ve got the 8” screen and while the analog buttons seem a bit out of place, the interior is light years better than my last 3 trucks. I

For the love of god, i hope the interior is updated  .  But i'm excited to see what the new 22 trucks look like  You guys think the engines will finally get a power bump ?  This is going on

having just sold my 2019 due to its “lemon-like” issues, I wonder if the 2022 should be considered a “first MY” like experience just like my 2019 felt and if a 2021 will be more reliable long term.

 

not sure I drive it enough to really appreciate the addition of “super cruise”.

 

what do ya’ll think?

I'd love to have Super Cruise. My truck isn't my daily driver, I typically drive it on the weekends, and usually long distance trips to the coast or the mountains. I can definitely appreciate the upgrade, don't know that I'll be ready to spend the money though. I went from a 14 to a 16, but that was helped along by my 14 having the driveline vibration issues. My 19 has been solid, and if it stays that way, I intent to keep it a while.

This is going on 8 years with the same engine output.

The 2020 took away rear door buttons that unlock the door.. my 2019 has it on all four doors, the 2020 has only on front doors.

 

Maybe for 2022, they'll just take the damn door buttons away!

Theoretically, it shouldn’t be looked at as a “first MY” truck because it’s just a styling refresh, and maybe an updated interior. Again theoretical, the main bugs should be worked out by the 2022 MY. Theoretically I will likely be disappointed in my optimism.

 

I like theories.

Safe to assume most, if not all, of the electronics will be new...welcome back the bugs. My truck’s bugs never left anyway. At worst it’s a lateral move for me.

That's classic GM decontenting for you. They aren't the only ones to do it, just the best (or worst). They'll tell you "you can still get lock/unlock buttons on the rear door, you just have to move up to an LTZ/SLT or higher trim."

They aren’t the first, but they are by far the worst.

No, they took out the buttons for the rear doors completely, that's why I am glad I have a 2019. I am always using that button to get my bags of groceries in the back seat. My friend's 2020 High Country doesn't even have it, only in the front doors. My lowly RST has it on all four doors. Even if the 2022 had an upgraded dash, I probably wouldn't go for it. Gotta have that button on the rear doors! All day long, I'm making errands and putting stuff there.

Hard to say but it looks like the 2022 mule in question has the buttons on the back doors.

If a button is something that turns you away I can only imagine the other stuff in your life that is so below you lol.

 

I have a key fob with a button that unlocks all 4 doors at once, I'm not sure what is so hard about touching a button once to do the same thing.

What if they're using a 2019 and using it as a fake mule to throw off the paparazzi? A while ago, I saw Opel doing that with the Insignia when I was in Poland (about an hour away from Berlin, Germany). The car had stuff all over it and I gave it a hard look. Even got close enough so I could peek in the "bra" of the car and it was exactly the same as the one I was renting at the same time. The headlights, the grille, then the guy said it was a fake mule to throw off the photographers. He figured I wasn't a car nut so he was a little open about it. Actually, I was, but just didn't know ****** about German Opel cars.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Stabilitrack was a stability control, traction control system, that functioned independently from the transfer case.   Z-71 has nothing to do with the transfer case or differential.   If it does have an AWD system, my memory recalls this being specific to the Denali trim, converting won't be as simple as swapping out mechanical parts like differentials and transfer cases. It will require reprogramming at a minimum. Long story short, not likely worth it.   Pulling a fuse, may disable the AWD system, it might also prevent any other transfer case functions.   However, the AWD case was generally based on the same transfer case you refer to in the 2006 Suburban. If it still has a 4-High and 4-Low where the transfer case locks and splits power 50-50 front to rear, what are you gaining by changing anything? A true-rear wheel drive only, what good will that serve? Not enough to go through the trouble of changing out all the parts.    Generally, all the factory systems will handle a 33" tire and re-gearing. Probably a 35" tire too, if you aren't driving like a caveman. If 35" tires are in the plan...   If you do plan on driving like a caveman or are fully committed to 35" tires, an entire re-think of the build is probably in order. Starting with square one, an IFS front end isn't going to be the best starting point for 35's and caveman driving.

      Oil Consumption

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      1/2 qt over full ain`t gonna hurt $h!t. Most times, a whole qt won`t either. Most have windage trays now. As long as the crank isn`t slapping itself in the oil, it`s not the end of the world.   We used to overfill 1 qt at the track, at race time. Better to have it over full than having the pan sucked dry at 6500 rpm`s.
