Not good, was thinking about going to one, but very wary now. 
Even with the issues, id get the diesel again. Its still running fine, i kinda think when it was running like crap and i had to limp it to the dealer, 2 hours, twice, may have played a part in what is happening now, which looks like it is a EGT sensor

The way it seems GM is ramping up talk of electric I think I will stay with the 6.2. May be the last strong gas engine we have a chance to have new!

Heard on the news just a few days ago that the left coast is going to make sales of fossil fuel motorcars/truck/bikes illegal by 2035 for private citizens. You will be able to keep what you have but.....

 

Is that even possible? Do they have any idea how much of the economy is tied to the fossil fuel transportation segment in the US. IN California itself? The backlash from that segment and big oil? California is home to a major percentage of the countries refining capacity. Does GM believe they can exist on one states sales in the USA? 

 

Just think' n out loud. Back to your regularly scheduled program. ?

It'll be interesting to see the electric Hummer rollout that is due to begin this month.

Out of curiosity, did they extend engine warranty to the 5 years/100,000 miles with current mileage on your truck or leave it at the mileage when you bought the truck?

Left it where it was. They offered some extended warranty for goodwill. I opted for some accessorie credit.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

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

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
