The more lazy we get, the more freedom we loose. Has anyone actually read about what onstar collects on you. I declined to allow them to collect/store information on me, so they cut off my onstar features. By the looks of it, you'll now have a camera pointed at your face accompanied by audio recording in 2022.

Any reason as for why a new interior update?
The current GM truck has the worst interior of the biz. I love my AT4 but the interior is pretty boring compared to the ram.

If GMC had the same wheel wells as the Silverado we'd have a best truck contender

Common for GM to do a mid-cycle model facelift including exterior, interior or both. Square bodies got some changes in 81, GMT400's got a front facia update in 94, interior in 95. GMT800's got both in 03. K2's got a front facelift in '16...

It's a truck, or am I mistaken?  ?

I know there a lot of folks here who love their interior and There is nothing wrong with that . We are all entitled to our opinions. 

However when you look at the Ford and especially the RAM , in my humble opinion the GM brothers. fall short. 

More so on the HC and Denali trims that are getting close to 70k . It just does not give you that Plush feel for 70k . 

Also 95% of the online editors/magazines folks who review for a living also speak to this short coming.  

Its not bad by any means , it just kind of boring . Gm knows this and are about to do something about it in a big way if the gauge cluster is any indication.

Does that work? lol

 

Laws are different here in Canada or rather, at least the government hasn't been caught breaking those laws.

    • Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

    • Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
