Climate is changing for sure. No denying that. The question really is how much is humanity contributing to it? I’m no expert but probably a small amount. The government has, inarguably, used global warming/climate change/etc as a tool to create unnecessary taxes for 40+ years and people have...

Thank Obama. Just a small tidbit of stuff that has made our lives (even slightly) worse to combat a made up boogeyman. Don’t get me wrong, my opinion is climate change is real. However, I think people who live in the western world are contributing less than 1% of the problem. Climate change...

About a month after picking up my brand new 2023 the brakes started squeaking when they’re engaged. Any ideas?

Off topic but I split time in Houston 90% and Des Moines, Iowa 10% of the time. Apple Maps works way better in Houston but is absolute TRASH in Des Moines. Google maps is awesome in Des Moines and absolutely sucks in Houston. Always thought that was Weird.

One of the recent updates turned my automatic wipers on. 2023 37 package and they’ve never worked. I read here I needed to do Forscan and turn them on from there. They were “on” according to the infotainment system but never worked. Now they work and, honestly, they work better than I figured...

I’ve got a guy in Texas that installs an old school kill switch that works great. The truck still starts with remote start but the button doesn’t work when the kill switch is on. If you’re in Texas send me a message.

Calm 99.9% of the time

You could in the 90’s. Simpler times. Better times.

Thanks, Obama.

Yes. After a couple times parking it, leaving it alone for some time (think overnight or at least several hours) and starting it again I haven’t had any issues (knock on wood).

In August I was offered $95,000 for my free and clear 2023 Azure 37 package with 4500 miles (at the time) which is what I paid ($7,500 over) if I’d pay $30,000 over on a new Avalanche R that was being delivered. I declined for these reasons. A) I want Azure Gray or black R or I’m not buying...

Living in Houston it’s nearly guaranteed it’ll be stolen at some point. I’d rather it not, obviously.

I don’t have any issues backing it up by adjusting my body position the old school way. Perhaps you should learn how to drive/park a truck.
