    Coming back from mt st Helen’s … prob should submit a feature request to go more than two digits, lol. OK, full disclosure: 23 Yukon Denali Duramax, going down the mountain.

    RFI: Super Cruise Ownership Pro & Cons

    First off, do not confuse SC with something like Tesla’s FSD (full self driving). SC will not get you out of your driveway, to the grocery store, and back home. It is intended to only function on wide-open highways. That said, SC is great if you plan on taking long road trips on highways...

    odd (regen?) smell first 15 minutes of driving

    Hey all, have a 2023 D-Max Denali. Everything's been running great, although in the last 200 miles or so I've noticed an odd smell for the first 10-15 minutes of a drive. currently sitting at 1100 miles Most trips are short, 10-15 minutes to work and back - nothing really over 45mph. some...

    Winter wheel / tire setup

    Good info. I forgot to mention, I have the stock 22” GM wheels and am planning on getting 20” wheels, so Vladimir in your other post it isn’t just putting new tires on an existing wheel, sorry for the missing info. So any reliable tire place should be able to install the TPMS sensors? A quick...

    Winter wheel / tire setup

    Necro’ing this thread after a year … but looking to get some 20” wheels with Blizzaks for the winter - need snowflake-rated tires to get up to Mount Hood. The real question is: for those who wheel swap winter/summer setups, do you need to do anything special or just literally swap and go?

    Strike??? Thoughts, insights, predictions.

    Um … that 1 billion in lost revenue lowers the stock price which in turn lowers the executives’ pay … how dare you suggest the hard working Mary Barra lower her salary from $29 million a year to $22 million. That’s a 25% pay cut you heartless monster.

    UAW votes for OPTION to strike

    I ended up pulling the trigger on a 23 D-Max Denali for this very reason this past Wednesday. So many factors went into that: no 24 refresh, end of 23 production cycle (so prob what is “in transit” on the website is it for 23s), may not see any 24s until the new year and at elevated prices...

    No Refresh for 2024

    Anyone else following the news on the potential strike? Just read the UAW made public their demands before going into negotiations, the biggest of which were the 46% increase in pay over 3 years and a reduction of the work week from 40 to 32 hours a week. I’m not going to take sides on the...

    Monthly payments

    It's negotiation ... they ask for 40%, corporate counters with 15%, it ends up being 25%.

    Monthly payments

    Everyone's situation is a little different so I won't pass any judgment. For sure debt free is the way to be. There are so many different ways to slice this. But at the end of the day, does anyone really want the pain of having a $1,200 monthly payment? That's a *lot* of money. We're...

    No Refresh for 2024

    Probably any road that heads up a mountain. I don't think he's talking about a 45 degree climb for 30 minutes straight. Even on the way to Mount Hood here in Oregon or heading west to the coast through some smaller mountains there's a gradual incline for long periods, easily 20 minutes plus...

    New Escalade IQ EV

    I never got my forum achievement for the last Escalade EV thread I started that got locked. Or maybe starting a thread that gets locked is not a forum achievement? :D In my head I'm thinking, "who on earth can afford a $175k EV" ... then I remember my dealer told me they had an Escalade-V...

    Resurrecting this thread (or necro'ing it as the kids these days say) ... I just found this and not sure if it's still true since it lists 2022s ... https://www.gmsupplierdiscount.com/content/pdf/sup/GM-Share-Your-Discount-Flyer.pdf

    No Refresh for 2024

    Yeah, this unfortunately confirms a thread on Facebook last week where some guys who worked at the Arlington plant mentioned this wasn’t going to happen. I didn’t want to post the rumor, but I guess this more or less confirms it.

    2023 Yukon 3.0 Duramax Denali XL Order Timeline

    As @StephenPT noted, you cannot break apart the package, so no Reserve Package or Advanced Tech Package for Denali without RSE (I also tried and asked). It wasn't that way in 2021/2022 - this is new for 2023. For those of us who have been on this journey for a while now, remember how we would...

    Would you wait for the 2024?

    I think @Banks22 has a good point - if you're being told "6 months minimum" that is pushing you into the 24's and it could be because your dealer doesn't have an allocation and/or there are a bunch of people in front of you. Your salesman might not be clueless, but he may also not be telling...

    When does the '24 refresh debut..?

    I looked at my post from last year, the 2023 online configurator was up August 10th, so I imagine it'll be something similar this year. Haven't talked to my sales guy, yet, but most likely will try to put in an order around the end of Sept as well. Fingers crossed the AT4 gets a D-Max option.

    Which Yukon year to buy

    I think it’s a bit of a mixed bag. There are 2021’s and 2022’s that have/had lifter issues, but it should still be covered under warranty regardless. 2021’s: analog dash, in general no missing features. 2022’s: digital dash, lots may have missing features (front/rear park assist, lumbar...

    Built and ordered a 2023 Yukon

    Lots of potential inhibiting factors - I'd say the biggest one isn't constraints but if your dealer even has an allocation. I think there's a bit of a balancing between "bare bones to get it ordered" vs. "GM wants to make money on expensive Denali Ultimates, so all their chips are going to...

    Software’s place in a mechanical world

    Don't disagree ... but do you trust your life to a firmware coder at AirBus or Boeing? Because that's what we do when we board a flight. Never coded firmware, but cut my programming teeth on pushing and popping registers learning x86 assembly ... and eventually ended up at a Beltway Bandit out...

    Software’s place in a mechanical world

    I follow a pilot on YT and he has a story that I think is relevant. He was talking about the time he was in training, over Texas, during a horrible turbulence; the plane was shaking so hard he said he couldn’t even see the controls. He looked over at his instructor who said, “You know why I’m...

    Software’s place in a mechanical world

    Well, the context of him calling Ford a “Legacy“ company (from earlier parts of the interview) is in comparison to that of Tesla, Nio, Rivian, and all these EV startups that are starting from the ground-up as a software company and putting a car on top of the software. They have full control of...

    Software’s place in a mechanical world

    Just saw this interview with Jim Farley (Ford CEO), and he makes some very telling comments about modern cars, and in particular, EVs. Paging Ms Mary, are you listening? He admits what we’ve all suspected for a long time: they’re not software companies, but they better become one and not treat...

    Escalade EV announced

    Hey, no skin off my nose - just being the messenger. Been trying to get my hands on a dmax Yukon and will wait for the refresh. If we buy an ev (wife) it’s gonna be a leaf/bolt type. I wonder if these e-yuk/how/eskys will sell? Maybe as really expensive, high-end kid haulers only? Some guy...
