It's not just age, it's all the fat people that can't do it. When your belly is too big to even see your pecker, you have issues with that sorta stuff..........?

Am I the only one that doesn't want a 12" screen?  Typically too much cabin light driving at night for one main reason

I find it interesting to read all the discussion and complaints about the interior finish.  This is my first truck and I've had four German SUV's since 2008.  The fit and finish and technology in my 2

I get it’s personal preference and I get that it’s easier to get in. But those side steps are so ugly on the HDs. That would officially make it so I wouldn’t upgrade to a 2022.

Have to agree 20 years ago I could jump in the bed now I have to watch my footing , my grip. Age sucks. Not the best look but at this point In my life will take functionality over looks.

Preference is preference. I can’t knock anyone’s preference. I just don’t get why pushing and pulling a button is so sac religious? And if it’s a clean out of the way look like the bee SUVs I welcome it. One thing I was wondering is if the lower trims will still get the stick ? While higher trims get the buttons ?

I just bought my wife a new 2020 Acadia and it has this gear selector to it. And yes, at first it’s different, but now WE love it. The whole center console area is free and open. I like my column shifter but if GM adds this to their trucks and give us a high performance truck, I won’t hesitate to snag one up. Come on GM gives us a street truck and off road truck. A 7.0l supercharged truck would be where it’s at!

A blown LS7. Wow wouldn’t that be something. Not a chance in hell though you and I both know. I’m curious though if a real TRX/Raptor competitor is in the works for GM. They are really missing the train here.

That GM Authority article has no real confirmation on the column shifter going away than saying they haven’t seen it in some (very obscure) spy shots. 
 

My guess is that it goes away on the HC and Denali, but would be available in some packages in lower trim LTZ/SLT and lower.

How responsive is it?  Does it take time for the electronics to engage??  Or is there a pause?

It responded right away. You also have to make sure your foot is pressing on the brake firmly to make sure the tranny engages. I made mistake and didn’t put foot down hard enough once and it made clunking noise.   That’s the main thing. Make sure you have foot down fully on brake.

I don’t understand why not. They have the resources and small block heritage behind them to seriously Start a performance street truck division and put a huge hinder into Ford and Rams off roaders.  A blown LS7 could easily push 800+ hp and be very reliable. 
A buddy of mine just bought 09 Z06 and absolutely loves the 7.0L. 
I’d sign on the line the minute it hit showroom floors and I guarantee many others on here would join me.

The problem with a blown LS7 is that it can quickly become a blown LS7. Actually, they can blow straight out of the box haha. Too many demons hiding in those engines that GM has never admitted to. But with a good set of aftermarket heads, they're great motors. 

 

I'd love to see a high-performance truck from GM, too. They have all the components to make it happen. I'd get in line for a truck like that. I think it's strange they seem to ignore the segment. It's not like the typical Raptor or TRX buyer is cross shopping anything in the GM lineup. Those sales are lost from the get-go.

Here is mine.. Zero time to drive it. Just sits The 7.0 is glorious. And the lightweight made it a phenomenal machine.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I had skimmed through that article when you posted the link and honestly I felt rather defeated in a sense and realized that all these years in changing oil that in fact putting in what I was told was a good quality oil was probably not filtered as well as it should be although the filter put on the engine would be what ( as long as it never went into bypass mode ) would be the final filtering of the new oil that the engine components would first see, but then the filtering media itself is not up to par to what is ideal because a full flow filter would be too restrictive to filter fine enough for the engines best outcome in the long run. Only one of our tractors over the years which was a Versatile with a 855 Cummins had a separate bypass filter, some engine manufacturers did spec a partial bypass system within the main oil filter but I don't believe any other trucks or equipment I was servicing used such a filter. No doubt a product like the Amsoil bypass system is of benefit as long as nothing goes sideways with the extra plumbing and filter such as a rupture/leak that could cause the oil to pump out of the engine ( yes that Versatile had a remote canister with hoses routed to it as well ). With the idiot egr system on a diesel and as a result forcing a lot more soot into the oil, that certainly isn't helping the diesel engines cause or as you pointed out the GDI engine issue with creating more soot and aside from having a fancy secondary filtering system, changing the oil more often helping lower the total soot load.     So oil manufacturing and the end product is not something one can control and I wonder if there are specs on what various oil packaging companies produce in particle count or size. As to the filtering, if the OEM is not designing a filter size and spec that is really what it could be, they too are short changing the end user and so what is the answer. Of course as you say the oil side can only do so much if the air side isn't keeping up its end of the picture and air filters are only so efficient and if in a dusty environment such as farm or construction or driving gravel roads there is a lot of dirt to filter out and some of that ends up into the air stream.    Of course the irony in places like where I am where they dump the salt on the highways but also will mix in some calcium or outright pure calcium for problem road area's, or using calcium as dust control on gravel roads, the vehicle that gets used in that environment may rust out before a properly engineered engine and maintenance finally wears out so one has to face that reality in the rust belt.

      Oil Change

      By Erfar · Posted

      have you stuck with dealer oil changes since then? I made the same switch after getting tired of crawling around under the truck, but I’ve found some dealers are way better than others about getting you in quickly. Curious if yours has been good about scheduling or if you’ve had to look elsewhere for quicker turnaround.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.   I am set on a 3.0 Duramax as my previous truck with a Ford Ecoboost had just as many, if not more, "common" issues.  Cam phasers, timing chain issues, 10-speed valve body and CDF drum, emissions issues, etc.  So I figured, why not get 2x the fuel mileage (these things got 27+mpg on every mixed city/highway test drive I put them through) and better towing capability with resale value to boot?   My minimum, shortest trip will be 50 miles 1-way and I regularly go out of state with a travel trailer.  I'm planning on using this for a marketing/event promotion business also, which would require regular towing of trailers for bands, DJs, sound and lighting gear, along with my personal camera gear for filming events.   Looked at other trucks in the $30k+ price range but the issues seem to be everywhere, plus too many with gaudy mods.  I'm literally sticking with RWD trucks because they tend to be actually used as trucks, vs. the 4x4 models I've seen with unsafe lifts, huge tires, and general mods that would affect reliability (I'm wondering if some of them were tuned, hence the aggressive throttle response and hard shifting).   So my goal is to find a stock, 3.0 with 1 or 2 owners, in good physical condition, and decently well maintained.  Can't seem to find that up here, everything in the $27-30k range has had multiple owners, smoke smell, issues, or body damage.  Or the ridiculously modified trucks with 80k miles for under $27k but lots of problems...

      That’s pretty tough Grumpy. I reread the previous few posts. They all reference oil changes. Much like your last thread. In my humble opinion it keeps things interesting.
