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.

Comfort is a subjective call and needs to be balanced with the support the seat provides. My couch is more comfortable than my office chair, but the office chair provides better support than my couch. For me, the most comfortable seat for driving is one that strikes a ballance between the two...

First time diesel owner but my understanding is that the exhaust system needs to reach a temp of 1100 - 1200 °F during regen to complete the burn of process. Driving at 40 mph would make it easier to maintain that temp long enough to complete the regen, but to the best of my knowledge there is...

24 AT4 3.0L with 20" AT's. Daily drive is a 6 mile each way commute to work, plus some additional sort runs running errands. Weekends typically includes longer 40 - 50 mile drives. I'd consider all of this to be city driving and I'm averaging 23 - 24 mpg. I recently completed two 700 mile runs...

Do you ever see an increase in viewership out of being cited. Jalopnik readers checking out the source?

I have no issues with fit and finish on my 24 AT4 3.0L. Just over 6000 miles, and other than a single CEL, that cleared itself later that day, no issues with the engine.

I've been reading Tom Cotter's America's Greatest Road Trip!: Key West to Deadhorse: 9000 Miles Across Backroad USA. Tom's the host of the Barnfinder podcast and the book points out a couple of interesting finds during the trip including one guy that had 1000's of vintage tractors and another...

Primarily a daily driver, thats capable of dump runs, transporting my mountain bike, picking up a load of mulch, or a new tool cab from Harbor Freight. Long term plan is a post retirement Overland rig. I try not to pass judgment on how someone else uses their truck, but draw the line with the...

I'm guessing that many of these powertrains are part of global platforms. CAFE is part of the equation but so is meeting emission and milage requirements in other markets.

I ran back to back 700 mile runs in my AT4 a couple of weeks ago and had no issues with the seats. But I also prefer a firm office chair to a plush one.

The problem with "everyone wants" is that its subjective. I get far more use from the large screen on the infotainment than I do the sunroof I have on my truck.

I cleared the code with the Banks iDash. It's possible that the dealer might still be able to pull it up, but as I don't have a CEL I don't see an immediate need for the TSB. That may change if the update proves to increse time between regens.

It's Saturday and I'm at the dealership for the complimentary oil change. I brought up the TSB, but the Service Advisor told me since I'm not currently throwing any codes, they normally would not perform the TSB. He told me I could bring my truck back in during the week if I wanted it checked...
