    Chevy let me use one of there 4,6,8 Cadillacs waaaay back in the day. Stopped payment about 8 months after I bought it but never had a chance to drive it. Worse part was I had to go to a bigger city to get it serviced. After month 11, they bought it back & gave up.

    the auto start/stop in the 15+ F150's is easily removed a number of ways. had it in my '17 2.7L F150 and it wasn't bad. All about the gas mileage. I'd buy the extended w/ it if I had one w/ it.

    they say it does, but w/ the 2.7, i consistently had 21+mpg. i've been driving my 5.0L for ~3 years now and w/ the intake, exhaust, tune, i'm usually ~18+mpg.

    i know they screwed up the 5.0L in 18 when they changed/added the auto start/stop to it. it was burning oil and they were replacing blocks at first. then they were supposedly fixing it w/ some computer changes.

    My parents had a 1995 suburban 2500 with 454. They loved it. I have a 2014 Sequoia Platinum. I am a huge fan of sequoias. Sequoia Pulled the boat easily, tons of power, auto leveling air ride is very handy, and enough room for storage in the back even with four kids in car seats

    The guy from before left the "hot start" capacitor in. He used it to try and jump the compressor when the compressor was out.
    Simple fix, just pulled it.

    Well maybe it's an old man and he couldn't lift it up into the bed but I sure as heck would have put something between my tailgate and that grill

    It should have never become a thing honestly.. it's right up there with diesel purposely blowing black smoke... I feel like that defeats the purpose of getting a diesel when you are blowing it out
