These trucks are nice.  Strip down the lights and grille and it looks just like my Tahoe.  Build it back up, it's not twice the worth of my Tahoe.   There is no way there it's a 56K difference once you put the lights and grille back on.  Ok, maybe throw on some designer leather, designer speakers, ...

Good topic. Watching the inauguration got me thinking about all of those black suburban's the secret service has of of course the Caddy Beast. Do you think Old Joe will make them switch to electric?

 

Would be kind of embarrassing and dangerous if a Secret Service guy forgot to charge up the fleet!

Electric is practical for Secret Service type of driving, but I don’t see those vehicles going electric.  Although those beasts burn a lot of fuel, driving ten miles here and ten miles there is not going to save anything or put out any measurable monoxide.  Even if they were to change, it wouldn’t be smart not to have a back-up fuel canister.

Actually Joe just announced it. All govt vehicle's are going to move towards electric. I guess that is because they don't exist yet unless he is going to have a TESLA BEAST. Which is kind of an oxymoron!  Looks like they like to buy GM so maybe you will see Joe driving a Bolt!

$124K means different things to different people.  I look at a new Escalade and I put it in my lottery win wish list!  My brother would probably simply write  the dealer a cheque.   If I had this kind of a budget for a SUV/pickup I think I would rather dress-up (personalize) a SLT or LTZ level truck!

      So you're saying toss the baby out with the bathwater? @txab posted article was her take on how AI can be used to manipulate pricing as it already does and has been rebuked by the judiciasry in housing. How AI can be and is used to maximize refinery or even Amazon operations all of which are true but because she is who she is; that makes what she says about what is true, false? Is that something akin to Pre-justice aka prejudice?    Look, I'm first in line to approach all information with caution just because we live in a world where people like to lie about someone or something with such a straight face and in such volume that it makes digging to the truth wearisome. Meaning I understand the skepticisms but if I were to toss out everything a person is for a view they hold then my pool of people to draw wisdom from would be non-existent and I'd be forced to reinvent the wheel daily. Not practical.    "Be innocent as a dove but as cautious as a serpent."    Test each word. Every good lie is part truth or no one would believe it. Find the truth in it and reject what isn't.    On this one, AI is being used to do what has been done by hand for hundreds of years already but at such speed, the point of a computer, that it is more easily monetized. This one wasn't that hard a lift.    I wrote a few formulas in a Lotus 123 program decades ago, a series of linked Macros actually, that allowed a daily inventory to be turned into a running P&L and production plan. Something that took three departments a week to assemble now took the time it takes to input the 'daily changes' in inventory. Later that was ungraded to the more powerful Excel program an and integrated with bar code scanning, inventory to supply was done once per shift. It had a huge impact on production scheduling, Seamless interruption flexibility, inventory error reduction, raw materials cost effective utilization and scrap reduction. Huge improvement in the bottom line. I spent months on that and AI could have done it in minutes. So yes, it not only can be used, they would be foolish to not try. The legality, ethics and morality are not the domain of AI. Humans need to keep a reign on it.

      How to Tune 6L80 Silverado transmission

      By ballencd · Posted

      New to this forum.  Also looking to tune a 6L80 and trying to work out all the issues in my transmission swap.  I have a 6.2 diesel (1983) and have removed the TH-400 and about to put in a 6L80 with a TCM-2600 interface and don't have a clue what I doing after that.  Did you (Leatherneck/RAV3) get your slip resolved? I too hate to spend that kind of money on a tuner that hopefully I will not need too many times although from what steelerdude15 added about the HP Tuner being great for diagnostics would be a plus.  I am also from WNC but below you in Columbus.  Any helo would be greatly appreciated.

      Sounds like a smart reasonable person with common sense. Bill O’Riley never said he was just a journalist, by the way.
