Most recent (maybe all) model gm vehicles have saved in the OBD2 system a reading for miles since dtc (check engine) cleared. So either it was a new malfunction that just happened randomly, the dealer has poor trade in inspection people, or they cleared the code. But either way, it was nice of them to fix it gratis.

I don’t personally buy the low speed rated trailer tires, but I think you would be amazed at the amount of people price shopping that do. Most people are wholly ignorant of speed ratings period. But yes, the speed ratings issue is easily fixed.

Sure. Now go add a lift kit and oversize offroad tires and let me know what you get.

Not really. I’ve had both. About the same unless it is extremely hot and towing especially uphill. Then the boosted motor adds extra fuel to cool off and it really sucks it down.

Lol. We’ve ha d some old trucks that get 12 mpg loaded or unloaded.

I disagree. The majority of trailer tires are not rated over 55 mph. And the stopping time for a trailer and 1500 pickup is such that driving faster than about 65 loaded is not a great idea. Especially without proper weight distribution in the trailer, which car haulers are awful for.

Trichinosis hasnt been a problem for domestic pork in decades. Even the usda no longer recommends well done pork cooking because it is low risk. Still not eating it raw.

No it doesn’t. Most Chevy truck based vehicle share drivetrains. Same with Ford. So why would a suburban, Tahoe Yukon, and Silverado differ as much as 3% since they are largely the same drivetrain unless it is measuring something else.

This is truth.

Factory warranty on $300,000+ tractors isn’t worth quibbling over. One season and it’s toast

We have about 5 new Holland tractors of that vintage. One just like it. Good luck finding parts for some of them. Clutches, steering boxes, etc are getting scarce. Other parts are cheap and easy.

The coil springs also make the truck look like a female dog pissing if you put any weight on the rear unless it has gotten much better since the last one I drove. But it does ride nice unloaded!

Be very careful with GSA cars. I worked for the USDA in research and we were responsible for our own maintenance. Until I took it over it was abysmal with our group. Like Dodge caravans with 25,000+ miles between oil changes bad. I checked the oil and it was very low (like barely on the stick) and thick as…

$17 a day in today’s dollars is $128 a day using 1965 as a date benchmark for inflation. Moving the date to 1975 for her retirement makes it $75/day which seems like a more likely comparison. Basically she made ~$10/hr in today’s wages at retirement. About the same as an uneducated worker can expect today.
