Honestly, I'd love one that removes a TON of the tech that's in these new ones. There are so many bad interface / interop designs by GM coupled with piss-poor programming that things misbehave or stra

I prefer the substance of a thing over the appearance of a thing. Simple, functional, reliable, responsive and visceral. I don't need Top Fuel power or F1 handling, Baja capability or Semi tractor tow

2024 GMC 3500 DRW Denali with RAM Longhorn Brown leather seats, and 6.7 powerstroke HO. And turning radius of F450. All the digital gauges from super duty, and led bed lighting with bed switch. 
 

That’ll pretty much do it for me. 

You're on the same page as I was.  Picking and choosing from the different manufactures to create the perfect truck.  I like your choices!

If you’re going that route. My father had a 95 Chevy one ton dually with the Texas Stagecoach package. I’d exchange the 6.5 diesel for the Ford 7.3 or 5.9 Cummins and Allison transmission with a 410 rear end. If I was looking for a pulling ring.

Now that would be a nice combo!

Tesla Cybertruck, just kidding 🤪 looks like something from a polygon video game from the 1990s.

 

I am really happy with my 2500 High Country. Only improvement would have been a 2500 Denali Ultimate.

I'm glad you're kidding about the Tesla.  Although....no I'm just kidding too.  LOL.... If money was no object to me I still would be in a cloth seat model truck.  Sure it would be nice to have the goodies, even if money didn't matter, but I love GM cloth and I love simplicity too.  But there's no doubt the Denali's are like WOW!!!  Holy crap WOW.... I don't blame you a bit!

I prefer the substance of a thing over the appearance of a thing. Simple, functional, reliable, responsive and visceral. I don't need Top Fuel power or F1 handling, Baja capability or Semi tractor towing. It isn't a seat at a concert. Not my office, living room, mud room or bedroom. I have those places for those needs. I don't need a dozen cup holders or a seat heater. And I don't need faux anything. Engage me in the experience of the drive. I don't want forward braking. I want braking that is reliable and powerful and a drive that doesn't put me to sleep. Keeps me focused on the task at hand. Driving. They quit making those vehicles right after installing AM radios.

 

If it looks like leather, it better be leather. If it looks like chrome...... :idiot:

I totally agree.  But wouldn't it be nice to have all of those cameras and the extra special option of accu jack and auto suck?  😂  I'm just kidding with you.  But I do agree with you.  My poor mans custom model is all I'll ever need.  I so love that truck.  Best damn vehicle I've ever owned!

That’s the problem with performance vehicles too. The last one I bought even though it was a bargain for what you got was the trailblazer ss. I just wanted the bigger engine. Didn’t need all the other performance equipment to cruise the highway. Luckily I had a trusted shop to install super chargers when I wanted them. Or banks for my diesels. You look at any vehicle and want the engine upgrade. It comes in a package for sometimes thousands more. I still have fond memories of the Chevy base model with the 427.

I’ve just read a review in car and driver about a super charger package direct from Ford with a warranty. Making 700hp with the 5.0. About the same time I read an article that a Ford dealership in Georgia that will install that package on a regular cab work truck. Out the door for 45K.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
