    New Sierra HD with 6.6 gasser ordered, wondering about cSt

    L8T 401 HP and 464 FT/lbs of torque. May I introduce the L8P, which I would love to drop in the Caprice. Just a less detuned L8T. Would drop right in OPs and my truck easily. 523HP 543 FT/lbs of torque. $8,948.00. I don't think that is too shabby. L8P So as you can see the L8T is detuned...

    New Sierra HD with 6.6 gasser ordered, wondering about cSt

    The LT engines don't suffer carbon deposit build up problems like other vehicles. They have been around since 2014. A failure of an injector from time to time yes. The 6.6 was introduced in 2020 there are guys out there with over 300,000 miles on them already.

    New Sierra HD with 6.6 gasser ordered, wondering about cSt

    Nope, not at all just a stupid comparison and has nothing to do with actual truck things. No one said the truck or Nissan were bad. Might as well compare that truck to my Trans Am or Caprice.

    New Sierra HD with 6.6 gasser ordered, wondering about cSt

    The 6.6 gasser with 10 speed was tested by motor trend and went 0-60 in 6.4 seconds with 3.73 gears. Now hook 16,000 lbs up to both and see what happens. Wait the Nissan isn't rated for that. The Nissan says tuned, headers. I bet also exhaust and gears. At the end of the day it is still a half...

    New Sierra HD with 6.6 gasser ordered, wondering about cSt

    I have a 2024 6.6 gasser I tow 3 different trailers with it. It is just a big LT based engine (L8T) without AFM/DOD or whatever they are calling it now. I just run plain ole Dexos 1 Mobil 1 5W-30. Why wouldn't you under warranty? I see no reason why you would run anything else that isn't Dexos...

    Frustrating Dealer Experience

    This isn't necessarily directed at you, just the board in general. I spent 60,000 dollars on my truck. I do an oil change every 5000 miles or sooner. It never ceases to amaze me how people will run oil to 7500, 10,000 or more miles most likely the difference of 1 oil change a year, maybe 100...

    Affordable vehicles unavailable but dealership lots are full!

    I wanted a basic W/T when I picked up my 2024. I wanted 4 doors, rubber floors vinyl seats and an 8 foot bed (that doesn't have to be made :) ) Couldn't find one. I got the least optioned one I could find. I think your comment, well both of them, is spot on.

    How much a family of four needs in annual income to afford a single family home

    Where? Alligator Mississippi where the median house is something like 54,000 dollars a year? The Median income per capita is 19,000 dollars per year? The poverty rate is over 64 percent. It MIGHT be good if you are retired, but if you are of working age good luck. Problem is if you want a job...

    How much a family of four needs in annual income to afford a single family home

    That is simply not the case in Washington state. Especially Western Washington where the jobs are. It is crazy here. I paid 295,000 for my place in 2010. If I sold it now, it would list for 700,000 to 750,000. The house across the street from me sold for 950,000 about 2 years ago, the house...
