Sask F cancel the Yukon - order the new electric SUV

[Guest]

Have the half ton diesel. Unreal mileage.

Any trip to town and back is 30 mpg. Long trips with no wind is 40 mpg. Beats the window sticker by a healthy margin. Definitely a sleeper in GM’s lineup.

I have one on order
Guy here drove 350 highway at 100 kph and got 41 mpg filling at pump
Shows 6 litres / 100!km lots

Til the turbo goes out at 3000K like the neighbors or you have to pull the motor to change the timing belt at 130000K. I am not sold on these baby Duramaxs yet.

Actually an oil pump belt
Tranny needs to be slid back at 240000 km
I will not get there
Did you know you have to take cab off of the big duramax trucks to change head gasket
They all have problems believe me I checked
But no others get 40mpg

So what kind of hp and torque compared to a 5.3?

Urban gardeners will go for the new GMC electrics ( wonder what Ford will have).
Rural farmers will still need gas or diesel for a while yet.

Have a gmc Denali with 3.0 litre diesel. Love the truck. Averaging 8.2 litre/100 km.

Have one also. 44 mpg best trip so far. Usually 30-35 mpg any day all day. Don’t have to worry about a 240,000 km oil pump belt, will be down the road once warranty is off anyways. Ole man just bought one too. GM has it figured out. 277 hp and 460 ft-lbs.

Anyone ever figure out their cost of ownership per km before they factor fuel?
Difference between 20 & 30 mpg about 12000? L over 300,000km.
I usually don't pay more than 9- 10 cents/km to buy them slightly used. One set of plugs usually the only repair on a 5.3 to get 300k of use.
TV of $ pays for the extra fuel over time along with less depreciation?
Fwiw I've never paid more than $24k for a vehicle.
I will however throw those calcs out the window in 3 years when I start spending winters south LoL.
Good info on that belt thing.

My old Duramax had 475000K when the injectors finally gave out, injectors worth more than the truck. Don't get the part about dumping a truck after the warranty has run out. Can't have much faith in it if that is the case?

How many of you are taking the chance of running purple through it, or is that still a thing to worry about?

160,000 kms is long enough for my daily driver. Yes warranty on the engine is same as the big 6.6L duramax.
