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...- Steebu

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.- Steebu

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...- Steebu

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...- Steebu

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

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...- Steebu

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...- Steebu

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...- Steebu

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- Steebu

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.- Steebu

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...- Steebu

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...- Steebu

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.- Steebu
