Im a fan of the GM Highclearance. Enough of a step for me to easily get in and out of the truck, yet unobtrusive enough not to ruin the lines of the truck.

I'm still around 3500 miles from my first fuel filter change. I haven't priced it out yet.

That video is 8 months old. To the best of my knowledge Ford has not added GPF to any NA vehicle. Not saying its not going to happen eventually, but 24 seems like a wash.

My cost for the oil change I did myself was about $65 for ACDelco DexosD 0w-20 and a PF-66 filter. I'll be doing all my own aervice work. I'm planning on 5k intervals for oil and tire rotation and 10k for fuel filter and air filter.

The bottom graph depicts the regen trigger, with a value of 1 meaning regen is off and a value of 3 meaning the regen is active. The regen runs from 786 to 1571 seconds, or just over 13 minutes. I've never had a need to try running a standing regen. As far as I know thats an option on fleet...

I hit a regen this afternoon and captured it on the Banks iDash. EGT1 Temps were in the 600 to 800 degree F range with a high of 827. This was city traffic with a couple runs where I could open the truck up to 45 -55 mph.

I went back a d looked at a snapshot I took of my iDash a while back when performing a city driving regen and I was hitting 722 degrees F on EGT1. I'll try data logging next time I get close to a regen. Intersting about how they clean the DPF in Europe. I did not know that.

I did have a P2297 CEL at about 3000 miles. The CEL cleared itself later that day and I haven't had any CEL's since. I'm now at 6500 miles. At the time the dealer told me there was no TSB for that code. Since that time GM has released a TSB for the 24 LZO that covers a dozen or so emissions...

I started off looking at Colorado/Canyon but moved on to the 1500 when I decided a full size truck was a better option for me. By that time the GMC look had won me over and the choice was between the AT4 and the Denali. The AT4 won that battle so the choice at that point was the 3.0L or the...

I've got about 6500 miles on a 24 AT4 3.0L. My daily drive is 6 miles each way to work, plus some additional miles running errands. On weekends I'll usually put another 50 - 100 miles on the truck doing longer runs. No towing. A regen typically takes me 10 - 12 miles at 35 - 45 mph. I'm hitting...

I was planning on picking up a 56" US General lower cabinet and hutch from HF next time theres a sale. I'd likey rent a 6x10 utility from Tractor Supply. The trailer can hold 2000 lbs, I'm guessing the cabinet, hutch, and any packaging would be about half of that.

I'm looking to buy a trailer hitch for an AT4. My short term need to for a utility trailer I'm intending on renting to move a tool cabinet. Other than that I don't have any other near term plans for towing but may purchase an overland camping trailer in 4 to 5 years when I retire. What should...

Well at least we are muscle headed and not footy brained.

I think that its a different style of journalism as well. I've been reading some Tom Cotter, the guy behind the Barn Find Hunter books. While Tim and Jill's focus is on the vehicles, Tom tends to focus more on the story behind the adventure and the people he meets along the way.

My take is that American Made is more perception than reality. My AT4 was built in Mexico (engine and trans built in US). The reality is that my neighbors Ridgeline is far more American made than my GMC, but my perception, and I'm guessing that of many other Americans is that I'm driving an...

They've been covering the CDK hack on the Automotive News Daily Drive podcast. One of the dealers they interviewed discussed the difficulty of losing the system and trying to complete the sale the OG way with paper.

When I bought my 24 AT4 3.0L I had an iPhone 12. A month or so ago I switched over to Android on a Samsung Galaxy 24+. Carplay disappointed me on two fronts. The first is that the map in Carplay is not full screen. The second reason is tied to cutting the cord with OnStar. The plan was to...

GMC is having problems of their own with siezed 6.2L and lifter failures on the 5.3L

There was a time that chrome was associated with luxury, but I think we are moving away from that. The Denali Ultimate is higher end than the Denali but uses the darker Vader chrome compared to the Denali's bright chrome.

A can of black Hyperdip to de-chrome my truck. A can of black high temp paint to de-chrome the exhaust tips.
