2026 model year changes?

ACTUALLY I'm over-complicating this: just give the driver the option to turn it off AND IT STAYS OFF through all future start cycles. Can be returned to operation anytime.

What a concept.

Then they can satisfy the majority and the vocal N95 minority -- best of both worlds!

Or like BMW removing the differential fill hole and bolt on all 2015 and up i3's when the 2014 had one. They even cast a spot into the differential where it should be. Apparently if you want it done you can A) drain and force fill the drain hole or B) take it to bmw and they can refill the differential after it's removed from the vehicle.

Or C drill out the hole under vacuum , tap under a vacuum then do a flush

Living dangerously

I believe CAFE MPG regulations may be going away too? Would be nice to at least get small trucks and cars back out of this ... The original round of CAFE stuff kinda backfired and lead everyone into a big SUV or pickup



I think it's been made pretty clear that there won't be a move back to that ideology in this country.

Things CAN change depending on what happens in Washington every 4 years. History tells us that. Unless something changes and we have a one party system.

Transmission dipsticks are extinct in all light duty trucks, 2020 was the last year for GM K2XX SUV's & the 6L80.

Put a starter on a 2019 T1XX Silverado 4.3L/6L80 today....No trans dipstick, Pretty safe to say no T1 GM truck has a dipstick & tube.

If promises are kept, it's looking like the later

Anything that is currently being undone can be reinstated later. Probably not smart to just scrap everything and move on so soon. Make hay while the sun is shining. But don’t assume it’ll never rain again.

I’m not normally a stinker but I’m hoping the 2026 cars go up in price. We have a 2025 on order with a targeted production week of 7/28. With our car being produced in Arlington, TX, its USA Canada content is 37%, and Mexico content also 37%. One would think tariffs will affect the 2026’s. For no other reason want validation that our timing was good.

It’s still a cat’s breakfast. We may get some clarification on August 1 but it looks like you may have slinked under the line.
