A DPF for a 2.8L Chevy Colorado is like <$1,000 and one for a 6.6 Duramax is $2400 on the expensive side. Other DPF's for other common trucks are less money. Labor is just welding it up like a cat.

Is anyone else like.... bye, Felicia?

I am obviously not a fan of the Malibu. Not back in 1997, not in 2004, 08, 13, or 2016. It's always been the car which never truly measured up to similarly...

And the 3.6 has more hp and torque while being better on fuel, IMO it sounds better, and is more fun to drive.

Wait, what about diesels? LOL. That's nonsense. Modern diesels are some of the most...

The Malibu is proper garbage. Buh-bye, Malibu. And personally, I'm over sedans. The crossover is a worthy replacement to most utilitarian sedans IMO.

And this week I drove an Equinox (LT) for the...

I'd lean towards the Ford. I'm unimpressed with Stellantis quality now that they're in charge. The Ram is actually a nice truck at face value, but I also hate the 3.6, and again, some quality issues....

Modern automatics are...amazing, actually. They work well in Semi trucks and they work well in light duty trucks. They are able to adequately cool themselves, and with lockup in most gears, lower...

I wonder if GM ever considers spinning off Escalade into its own brand. Cadillac the nameplate is just so dead sounding. I’d drive an Escalade, it’s not really my style, but I wouldn’t be caught in...

I'd rather the company change course than continue down a path that turns out to not improve the company or the product. That's what a competent leader does. There's no reason to stick to a goal like...

Ha! yes, typing V6 is a habit. It was definitely an inline 6. I had its shorter 5-cylinder sibling in a Colorado a long time ago.

Interesting details, thanks for sharing. I knew that GM owned Saab at that point, it was just so weird to have a GMT rebadged as a Saab. Arguably, it was one of the nicer GMT360's, but it was solidly...

Another GM Ultium Platform rebadge.

This ranks up there in weirdness like the time GM borrowed Honda's 3.5L V6, or when a GM truck was sold as a Saab, or when Toyota borrowed the Cavalier.

Maybe the Z06 is a bad example. Use full-size pickups, Tahoes, Suburbans, instead. I have no idea the volume that may be exported.

Fact is, things are a little craftier than just BYD hoping to dump cheap cars here.

GM already sells vehicles in the US which were built in China. And I hate them for it, it's absolute betrayal.

I think 1234yf ignition can be as high as 1650F. I could be wrong.

Um, you may want to look at all the Teslas over 200k on the original battery.

And did you really care about saving the environment before you got mad at EV's? Probably not.
