GM has a habit of choosing an high profit vehicle versus a popular one. The Avalanche was very popular as was the impala, caprice rear drive. Through advertising trucks took the lead. A real profit maker. There’re banking regulations will do that for electric vehicles. The problem is election’s change things. Interesting times.

You know what, just had a thought.  GM should have put a midgate in it and called it AVALANCHE (blue E obviously).  This is a huge missed opportunity to bring back the Avalanche as an exciting EV opti

I'm just saying if you never trade it in then depreciation is not ownership cost at that point. Trading it in yes but if you keep it then no.   Undesirable vehicle is up to the owner. I woul

It not horrible looking, but I am not interested in one of these. We don't have the surplus here in Iowa for EV's yet, plus I am not waiting around for 3-4 hours to charge my truck when I need to get

Reveal at CES changed to being done remotely.

 

But it is Jan 5, 2022 at 9amPT/12pmET

 

Not sure what happens to link after they are done, but this is a link to the feed

(as I type it is displaying a countdown timer...)

Battery electric, as we know it today certainly isn't for everyone but there seems to be a market.

Ford was planning to build something like 100,000 the first year -- and decided to cut-off pre-orders at 200,000 units. Out of near say 900,000 million ford trucks those are no where near 'replacing' internal combustion unit's, but even 100,000 is more than the annual sales of many car platforms

 

Yes, pre-orders aren't sales. Yes, lots will be folks hoping to flip one.  But it's still a lot of units.

 

I'll be interesting to see how they perform in the market and how they are able to improve the range for those than can't work with the ranges we currently hear about.

My kid played baseball this fall with another kid whose dad works at Rivian.  I spoke to him about hydrogen.  He said they looked into it and it's not happening.  I'll settle for a diesel electric hybrid, like a train.  Being a military family that moves every 3 years, plug in electric is a no go.  Not enough range.  I don't think I'll be satisfied until electric trucks can get 700 miles without a trailer.  Towing would cut that down to 250-300 miles.  Then I'll be ready to buy one. 


Yea EV companies won't invite hydrogen at all, but I think the long standing automakers would if/when people realize it's actually better than EV if we can use it as we used gas and diesel ICE's. Who knows though, what is best for the customer and what is most profitable can be hard to reconcile in the auto industry these days. Always been a problem to reconcile what is best for the environment and what is profitable when it comes to most industries, too.

The whole aspect of charge times and being predisposed to a certain range are the real shortcomings I see with EV, so hybrids of any sort seem like the better option. Until they make batteries for EV you can just hotswap that is, but that would probably be especially expensive. I'm sure these EV trucks will be nice, I just don't find them compelling for my lifestyle or truck needs.

Took about 25 minutes of 'other stuff' but they finally got to the intro in the live feed.

Hmm, EV to EV charging. Guess if you are running low battery life, just "siphon" some juice from a Prius at the Safeway parking lot🤔😬

 

They were talking about EV's this morning on the local talk show, and one of the gentlemen had a great point.

What happens if you are stuck on one of mountain passes, sitting for hours "idling" with the heat going and your battery dies? Who is quilified, or how do you jump start the EV to get going again? 

I have no idea, mainly because of no disire to own one, so have done zero research on EV's.

Good idea, but where are you going to get gas for it?  (Current administration will be getting rid of oil/gas) 😡

Anybody else notice the quick little comment about a Trail Boss EV Silverado?  That'll be interesting.  I'm not a fan of the new Avalanched Silverado, but if you held a gun to my kids heads and told me to pick an EV or they die if pick the new Silverado.  No point in holding a gun to my head, lol.  I wouldn't pick an EV in that scenario.

Get to the top and coast downhill while dragging the brakes.  Brakes have regenerative charging.

Just carry a gas generator in the bed. 

Why not have a generator already in the truck from the factory, like Ford did?  I wish GM did that.

The more I look at the pictures on Motortrend, I don't like it! The front end is too busy. They should have made it look like the refresh Silverado. I do like the Avalanche style back end! Very nice touch. The inside is ok, but the cheap looking buttons/climate control knobs underneath the HUGE screen looks wacky!!  Otherwise interior flows very well!

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
