    Actually, that was kinda passive agressive. I'm not very fond of my sister at the moment...

    We'll need to see a couple pics of her before I commit to a physical relationship.

    There's been 3 times where the pedal is literally on the floor, my RPMs do nothing (remain constant) and my speed continues to decrease. I dunno if it's a problem or if it's normal, or what the fuck. I've not downshifted into first (auto) because it's a low first gear and this usually occurs around 30-35 MPH. But, it doesn't kick down on it's own and manually shifting through 2, 3, and D does nothing to change it.

    It's really weird. And that's why I said those days are bad days.. it's one of those things where I don't know if I should drop into first, pull onto the shoulder and start off again in first and hold the RPMs high, or if I should call the dealer and say something isn't right.

    Sierra Nevada, towing, and then let's not forget sometimes it is better to hit the gas rather than the brakes to get out of a shitty situation that others are makgin shittier by the nanosecond....
    Honestly, I wouldn't put that on anyone. Not even Beavis 2.Derp.

    Truth. If I bought all over again I'd likely get the V6. My original intentions of use pre-purchase have changed to a point where the V6 would make things easier.

    Alas..

    Yes yes yes.. but I'm not even seeing over 3000 RPM in these situations.

    It only happens when going to Tahoe, right before I hit the crest and start losing altitude. Literally I feel like a loaded down Peterbilt and if the grade was long enough I'd eventually just lose momentum altogether.

    6cyl... Even if you don't always need the power, it's sure nice to know it's there. The 4cyl. is sometimes very, ...annoying...

    In my 93 Xtra cab 4x4 5-speed 22RE with cap and gear over Donner Summit, I'd have to shift into third at probably the exact same spot, climbing out of Soda Springs, as PeePee mentions.

    Nothing personal. I need to also. :anonymous:

    Plus side...I have no time to drink properly now, so all that alcohol isn't going straight to my handles d' amour.

    Makers Mark will probably need to cut production.

    $28210,plus my trade for the 2015 V6,that's the best deal and I think it's a good one. For $2000 less I can get the '16 I4,for $2433 less I can get the '15 I4 5 spd,four hour drive. I'm getting on of the 4 bangers. Stay tuned.
