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 CamGTP · Posted

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
