Not sure how to message them directly but I have a question for them that we talked about previously:

 

How come there is no forum for the 2022 Refresh model?  
 

Or for the 2023?

 

I believe it would be helpful to at least edit the current forum name and edit it to (2019-2023) or something similar.

 

 Thank you

If you want to start a thread it will be seen. If you state it’s a 2023 then I’m sure the year will be added eventually. I see plenty of refresh threads.

I understand that.

 

I can’t understand why not do it the proper way and have it organized.

 

way too many mix ups in the “2019-2021”   Come on I get 2022 the refresh blah blh blah but we are in 2023 now.

 

makes these forums seem neglected 

 

besides all the ADS everywhere

I would think the best way to go about adding a new sub forum would be to PM Zane who is the admin here, his account shows he was last active here right before christmas so maybe he would eventually see it and work on it, though im sure it has been mentioned to him before.

 

I agree though, i think the refresh deserve it's own sub forum at this point. The colorado/canyon section could use an update as well.

He is busy and when he created this forum he had a different life i'm sure, as this place has been around for awhile. Not sure mods can help on this, maybe one can chime in here if they see this. Like i said i think the best way would be to pm zane and please don't spam his mail box either, send a message and wait for a reply. Like i said he has not been on here for a few weeks now so it might take a bit to see it, give him some time and i'm sure he will answer back.

Mods don't have ability to modify forum. I've forwarded messages to Admins on this subject in the past and continue to do so

Many of us have tried to get this fixed for a couple of years. At this point, it appears that Zane is only interested in revenue streams--the incessant ads here, and telling everyone to view the youtube channel. Nothing else ever gets done. Txab is about the only active moderator--there used to be many.

I agree with you Bret as this site has been slowly going down for awhile. I think they have put this site out behind the tool shed.

Seems would be easy to just change it from 2019 - 2021 to 2019 - Present

Correct, but apparently this is too hard to do Tom or they are too busy to bother.

 

Doing so will positively impact users' experience and navigation through the forums, specially new subscribers.

Maybe if you look it says 2019-2023.

Yup and they added the new EV forum and updated the Colorado section, Thank you Mr. Zane or Mod that was given control of that power.👍

    • I knew when I bought my truck that it had off road hill decent or craw control or whatever they call it and rolled my eyes at that but it gets throw on with other options my truck has, I just never had a heads up if the highway speed regular cruise setting had anything to do with the brakes and that took me by surprise. If you've ever been to the top of Pikes Peak and watched those ahead of you on the way down with their brake lights on constantly, one can guess they are probably not gearing down or not enough anyway if their vehicle will allow and a good reason their is a brake check spot part way down where they use an infra red heat gun to check how hot ones brakes are front and rear.    Your right that once one gets out of the front range by Denver and I've not been on that stretch of 285 between Denver and Fairplay myself but I know its high and Fairplay at 10000 feet, Buena Vista at 8000, it drops a bit from there but then your going back up and over the 11000 pass and Durango is at 6500 . So yes your definitely right that 6500 and a lot higher is the theme of going anywhere out in that direction from Denver but hey, the down hill sections give fantastic fuel mileage !.    I don't even look at the fuel pumps for what premium costs here, since I live on a farm and up to this point get fuel delivered I am rarely in front of a fuel pump and when I am, I am often using card lock bulk fuel stations so it tells me what the price is AFTER I buy the fuel. Looking up on gas buddy and converting to US gallons but in Canadian dollars, regular on average of the prices listed was around 5.95 and premium is around 7.00 . That was one reason I did not go for the 6.2 half ton aside from its lack of carrying/towing if one was going by the rule of using premium fuel and until recently one could only buy regular farm gas if playing the few cents off game for farm dyed fuel for a "farm licensed pickup". But yes I hear you on the fuel price difference and like the diesel theme with it often being more expensive then gas it doesn't have quite the charm to it either as it once did although right now here for some reason the price of diesel has come down more so its now inline with the price of regular gas. 
    • I agree with this assessment. As you know I’m testing longevity with vehicles for the first time. I have a few vehicles I passed to kids and grandkids. We’re all past 100K miles some approaching 170K. I’m the only one doing 5k oil changes. The rest whatever the minder says. I’m the only one doing frequent transmission service. My odyssey the trip vehicle at 200K will be finished as a trip vehicle. I recently changed to high mileage oil, Valvoline. I can’t get past the fact that all manufacturers want to claim long service life. I just don’t make sense that they would go with low weight oil for mileage. While sacrificing longevity.
    • There's absolutely a mountain of profit in catering to the "I do my own research" crowd, people who are certain they know better. And I don't mean there isn't data to support that 0w40 produces less wear product than 0w20 in an engine like the 3.0 Duramax, that only feeds them the assurance they need. Again, my whole thing with oil selection is, sure, 0w40 or 0w30 produces less wear product. Are we talking the difference between the engine lasting only 100k versus 200k? Or are we talking more like, if the engine will already go 350k on a good 0w20 regimen recommended by the OE, is using 0w40 going to get us to 355k, assuming we can even get the rest of the truck to last that long, meanwhile sacrificing the first 5y, 100k in powertrain warranty. The answer isn't easy, there are tradeoffs.   I willfully use 0w20 Dexos D for this reason, knowing that a 0w40 will produce slightly less wear. I don't believe the delta in wear product is meaningful over the lifetime of the engine, and I place much more importance on driving style and overall feeding and care of the engine as a whole. It's the mentality that someone can abstain from alcohol their whole life which is an amazing boost to health by itself, theoretically. But if they're sedentary, that lifestyle choice will most likely kill them young despite their other, concerted efforts. Maybe someone doesn't drink AND they are the perfect picture of health and activity AND they use 0w40 AND they treat their engine perfectly. If living until 130 years is the goal, sure, do that. But it's going to be a really old truck falling apart around a good engine for that last 30 years, without a doubt.   I watched Demonworks' other video on the 100k+ 3.0 Duramax that had dealer 0w20 changes on what appears to be OLM-prescribed intervals (8-10k).   The QR codes are still present and readable on the main bearings. That's how little wear it has.   That's not proof that anyone else should stick to 0w20, but it's confirmation, for me, that 0w20 is perfectly acceptable to use in these engines.
    • 1Based on independent testing of OE 0W-20 in the Peugeot TU3M Wear Test as required by the dexos1 Gen 2 specification.
    • oh ya that's good to know - I would rather use a gear than the brakes down a long hill.  I would not let cruise control take over on snow or towing a trailer for sure on hills anyway.     The other thing about the CO trip was that was all done above 6K feet for the most part, so that has to use more gas as the motor is down a good amount of power up there.   If I drove my 2016 Camaro with a very similar V8 to this 6.6 it would probably get about 23-24 on the fast run up to NE.  But the premium fuel premium is steep here in CO, so it would still only save about $40 in overall costs for the round-trip.  And you sure can't carry much gear in a convertible camaro!
