So some people are too lazy to press either one of the front door buttons to unlock all the doors....?

It so happens I am so lazy I would not consider a car with manual windows either. I am also so lazy I would not consider a car with manual locking front hubs either.

55 for an RST? I see two problems...paying a bit too much and being offered way too little.    Sell it outright. Don’t get bent by the same dealer twice. Only chance at somewhat of a recovery.

At least your honest with yourself. Is it hard to get off the couch or do you have someone get your food and beer for you??

I don't even drink beer and nobody makes food the way I like it.

 

It seems I use the back seat a lot more than others, I'd say about 4 out of 5 last trips I made, I used the rear seat as a trunk so I use it a lot more than others. The button is a much nicer feature for me compared to others, obviously. If some want to confuse convenience with laziness, so be it.

I see. I agree with the rear doors having buttons. My 2019 high country has them and I love it. But I can see how it’s really not that important to most people. Use the key fob and hit unlock on it  once (if settings are changed) or twice and all doors unlock. Pretty simple!

I don't unlock my car from a distance in bad areas when I'm holding bags of groceries. Same reason why I live in a gated community.

Better find a new place to live then!  Thank goodness I live in the good old plain states where hospitality is a priority. 
I remember when I moved to Las Vegas. Unreal how different life was there. No one waved at you when you drove by them. Everyone stared at you like an alien instead of saying friendly hello. So glad I’m back here where common courtesy is expected. I feel better with my kids in school and walking home as well. Never in Vegas would I have.

That's the Vegas we know and love! Perhaps you should have opted for Henderson instead. I lived there a while ago, way, way, way nicer than Vegas! Could not stand the dry air so I moved back to Orange County.

$55k for a 20 6.2 RST doesn't seem ridiculous depending on how it's optioned up.  My 21 6.2 RST stickered for $63....and I love it compared to my 16 All Terrain, even with less options!  I bought mine last month from the Boucher auto group in the Milwaukee, WI area and they had like $3500 dealer cash on all of the 21's and they day I bought mine they pulled that dealer cash from all of their 6.2's.

So you paid almost $60k for an RST? ???  I paid $60k for my High Country which has everything but a kitchen sink in it!  I still think $55k for an RST is outrageous. They should be $45k to $48k decked out. They don’t even have same features as an LTZ. 
In all honesty these trucks are getting way over priced. But as long as YOU like it and you can afford it. I’m not going to tell you how to spend your money ?. ?

Wow, I have to agree here, the 2019 RST we have has a base price of $44,500 with $8,660 worth of options, total $53,160, and it was bought for $42,000. Not bad for a first year model. For $60k, I'd have gone for the LTZ.

I didn’t pay that for it but that is what the sticker was, it was just under $54 OTD. 6.2, $3k wheels, “performance package,” hard cover, side steps, convenience(Bose with sub)/safety package, bed liner, leather... that all adds up fast to $16k in options.   I don’t feel like I overpaid a dime, it’s all the stuff I wanted with one exception, memory seats. Yeah, some of the new options are cool, but I got real with myself and what I liked and wanted, last truck was SLT and came from 2 fully loaded Denalis before that.  They had a pretty loaded up 6.2 LTZ that was within $800 of the sticker price of mine. I didn’t want chrome.  $60k sounds about where you could get a 6.2 high country around Milwaukee/Chicago in January when I was looking saw a couple 5.3 and duramax in the $54 range Those are cool looking trucks, especially the cherry red tintcoat.  Looked at a 6.2 TB that color?

Here we all like pics. 
just broke 1k miles and got my new tips welded on today?. Excuse the dirty truck it’s been like 1° all week and it started snowing again.

here are the duals pic is too big to upload here.

That's interesting.. you don't have "Silverado" on the bottom left. Mine has "Cheyenne" on the bottom left along with "RST" on the right.

      Sugar Bears 2015 GMC Terrain SLE-2 2.4 AWD

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔

      cam upgrade in CA

      By AidenVorpagel · Posted

      hello I recently bought a 2012 gmc 1500 with a 5.3 and have a AFM disabler on it I'm interested in doing a cam but I'm worried if I remove the AFM system I will fail smog does anyone have info if they are able to detect that or a work around to it (not talking about hot smogging) please let me know thank you

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      Update. I started chasing down my symptoms. Started first with pulling valve covers and looked at everything. Everything looked good and couldn't hear or feel anything different. Then a compression test. 240 psi or really close on each cylinder. I was worried I was a tooth off of timing. Not bad for an engine with 173,000. Granted I did put new heads on. I sprayed water around the injector area to see if I could hear a change. Nothing. I hooked up my new hp tuner which I should have done in the first place but I don't really know what I'm looking at just yet but am learning. I noticed the fuel trims were way off so that told me I have to have either a bad injector or exhaust leak. New injectors, so I did the shop vac on blower and in the tail pipe. Sprayed soapy water and found the exhaust flange on the drivers side was leaking. I didn't think it would be that considereding I pulled the heads and left the manifolds attached. I did have the transmission replaced not long ago. They must have not seated them properly but I guess I didn't notice. I put in new gaskets on both sides. Which by the way isn't a bad job but I had a hard time getting them to seal right. Took two attempts. Reset the fuel trims and the ticking is gone, engine runs smooth and acceleration has improved. Got to feel the real difference with that stage 1 cam. It's not that big of a difference but it does add a little more. It feels like how the truck should have been from the factory.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.
