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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
