I just bought my RST a month ago and haven't had any Transmission issues but doing my "Pre-Buy" research, I found that the issue was somehow related to the type fluid used from the factory---Fluid changed no more issue??? 

That's GM's official take on it.  Complete fluid flush helps the shifting issues of the 8spd.  Your transmission already has the correct fluid installed from the factory.  If you do experience shifting issues, I wouldn't suspect the fluid.  Although that would be the cheapest thing to change.

I haven't had any issues with my 8spd yet.  What I didn't like was the transmission programming / mapping when it was newer.  Weird downshifts and such.  After a few thousand miles, that went away. 

 

That's a great deal on the 2020 RST.  I don't think you will find it much cheaper right now.

Deal worked out as I had originally stated... Now I have a 2020 RST Z71 Crew Cab in the garage! Do miss the ole K2 a little bit but, the huge cab will be really nice for my family and I to travel around in and I over all I feel like the T1 is a better truck than the K2..


Thanks for the input guys!

Wow i need to maybe think about trading up to something if these are the used prices they are giving right now. If your getting 21k offered for a lt double cab then my all terrain double cab loaded with the 6.2 should be in the 25-30k range especially considering i only have 40k on it vs. your over 100k and still has a year of warranty left on it.

Do it! I was able to Score a 21’ SLT Sierra Diesel today. With dealer and Costco Discounts it was 10k off List plus gave me $33500 for my 17’ CC LT w/41k.

Not a very go guys! Not a very good pic, no accessories on it yet in this either..  I added Havoc HS2 Nerfs, Truxedo Pro15x & Weathertech Mud Guards.

That's actually a good deal considering the pick-up shortage. My 2019 RST 5.3 4x4 is worth the same as the price I bought it at... $43k.

Fun to drive, suspension on the RST Z71 is a little too sporty and tricky, causing the rear end to slide. That is my only complaint. Otherwise, a solid truck.

With the roll out of the Electric Hummer today, I can' help but feel this very well may be the last generation of GM trucks with internal combustion engines. The truck I buy from this generation will likely be my last car or truck that I buy if that is the case.

I 100% disagree... I don't think the internal combustion engine will ever go away and I'll never buy an electric car if I can help it..

The idiot governor of CA wants to outlaw the ICE by 2035.  Meanwhile their electric utility is responsible (faulty equipment) for millions of acres burned each year and every summer Californians are subject to rolling blackouts because PG&E can't produce enough electricity.  WTF is he smoking?

Agreed, I don’t understand the EV push, especially when America hasn’t built a power plant since 2016 before that it dates back to 1996. Your not going to be able to have a 35%+ EV auto market and expect it to not strain our power grid. Considering right now I think we’ee right around 3% EV.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
