This is exactly my thoughts. Although I’m sure every “networked” part will have some form of handshake. GM’s version of TPM.

Hypothetically I get bent over for 45k on trade for my 22 @32k miles. Paid 67 OTD Total depreciation would be $22k in 4 model years. Even less with the “tax savings” Can’t complain much with that.

Interesting

Truck wasn’t commanding the AC compressor was it? That will override SS.

Just recalled my own truck last weekend. Pulled in running, changed to 40w drove away running. Recall passed

Would still love a proper gas big block in the HD’s. Modern 8.1? Sign me up.

It’s piano black high gloss plastic. It’s not faded it’s full of fine scratches from being a high contact area. Buff it and it will come back.

You figure they would learn from the first time putting the wrong “engine” in it. Guess not.

Like anything, there will be “acceptable” limits to what is lost or consumed. Just like oil. Best advice I can give you, if you have concerns is pressure test the system or have it pressure tested. This obviously wouldn’t be a perfect solution as the engine would not be “expanded” at operating...

Seems like minimal operational loss to me. You are talking about a few ounces on a system capacity somewhere around 6 gallons.

This exactly.

Severe duty applications would require special consideration. If I towed a considerable trailer continuously for 3k miles, I would cross that bridge. Majority of ZR2’s let alone half tons are not constantly pulling trailers. Thats HD stuff. (Besides the GMT800 landscape whores. They of course...

This is obviously going to be a hugely debated topic. So I’ll just give my 2 cents. Doing 2-3k OCI’s on an engine with an 8QT sump is a little belligerent. If we are talking about the LS line with 6QT sumps I could see the logic for someone who’s ultra particular. Minus DI these engines are...

What you are describing is a tire traction issue in the wet. Tire mod needed. Any anti sway bar limits travel by design. Counterproductive to the point of these trucks. These trucks spin the tires pretty easily in the rain. They are not halo horsepower trucks but they do make considerable TQ...

Whatever you had to do to a TB, you will have to do to a ZR2. Minus the mudflap.
