Am I making out a GMC on the grille under the cover? How about the hubcaps--those look like the current spec GMC center caps (with black tape on them) but I can not remember what the Chevy's look like--maybe they are the same.

My "guess" would be that it is a Chevywith the towing mirrors... based solely on the reat tail lights..and the other is a GMS baked on what we can see of the grille..

Must be an HD, you can see the frame hanging out under the body. You would think that could figure that stuff out by now, like how to build a body that covers up the frame rails. :confused:

If this keeps up my next HD truck may be a Toyota or Dodge.....this may sound silly but gm doesn't seem to get it (or doesn't care).....I have spent quite a bit of money with them in the last 3yrs (my wife has a suburban 4x4 LT and I have a 2500LD 4x4 SLE) but unless things turn out differently than they appear this very well may be my last go around with gm. One last thing if they in fact do have torsion bars as it appears in the pics....it will demonstrate yet again gm's lack of trying....anyone ever heard of coil over? I guess we have but gm hasn't!

Most guys complain that GM sit too low to begin with... a body that covers the frame rails would be even lower unless it you channel the body....

Toyota has yet to have a proven 3/4 ton truck so that is a leap of faith...

 

Everybody bashes the t-bar front end but they have held up pretty good for me and many others out there...

Well maybe the frame needs to be channeled, at least to cover the frame rails. You don't see the frame rails so prominately displayed on Furds or Dotches. Only the body will sit lower, the frame height won't change, either will the ground clrearance.

You could just buy steps and then you will not see the frame...

 

And channeling is when the frame rales stickinto the body pan...typically done on custome cars...

 

The trucks have enough side mody metal so I thing that adding even more just to hide the frame rails would not be a good thing...

 

They are HDs... i.e. work trucks... who cares if you can see the frame rails....

What's wrong with the torsion bar IFS? Rides like a dream, handles great on the tight highway corners. I am not the hard core off-roader and 99% of the population is not either. Build for the masses. If GM went to a solid front axle, how do all you experts know, they would sell more trucks? The snow plow population is not that much either. I would say I have heard more compliments on GM's comfortable ride than the arguement of a SFA. Just my $.02.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      Gas Prices

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
