My 2022 GMC Sierra AT4 is ready for the season. Just hauled my UTV & cultipacker to my lease to put in 4 food plots yesterday. But....it could be on borrowed time. I got the 6.2 when I bought it new so I wasn't short on power for towing and hauling. Recall letter came in May that they need to test the engine, if it passes I get a 10 year, 150K warranty, if not I get a new engine. Right now I'm hoping it doesn't let loose while I'm using it. Really a shame, since I keep my vehicles and this AT4 has been great for the 18k miles I've put on it. So I'll wait to see the outcome and go from there.
Is your mall crawler ready to go?

Did a crash course in AGM battery technology & pricing and installed a new main in the Rubi yesterday...the auxillary battery is hell to get to so will have it checked later this week when it's serviced at the dealership.

Picked up this crawler a couple days ago, about half way home with her.
Need to figure out what winter tires to put on it.

Battery went out of my wife’s 2019 Wrangler. On a -25 windchill day. Darn near $300 for the main alone and the auxiliary requires uninstalling and reinstalling the fuse panel. What a stupid design. I’ll trade it in before I tackle the auxiliary or pay someone to do it.

I've always been afraid of the cam phasers. Traded in my '16 3.5EB with 135kish miles with nothing but fluid changes, brakes, tires because I was fearful of costly repairs may exceed the increased depreciation of a new truck. Had a couple company trucks with 3.5 EB get to 75k with nothing but oil changes/tires before being replaced. Know of a couple folks with 2012-2014 3.5s with 200k and no cam phaser replacement.. Maybe just lucky. Current '22 3.5 only has 37k on it.

I’ve always wanted a vett… it was tempting and cheaper than the truck. Haha might look funny towing my snow machine trailer with it too.

All those colors…yet no pink??View attachment 383891
It’s been a long road but I now have an offroad rig and a upscale rig. The new one is good for the @SwaggyD type of hunts where we don’t leave graded roads!The old girl has a new to her but just broken in engine, tranny, transfer case, emissions, year old suspension all the way around and year old lower control arms. Wife’s uncle got t boned in the winter in his babied 100k 07 to get all the non suspension parts. It had never towed a trailer, gone off road, missed an oil change, or ridden hard and put away wet.
I think the color saturation on your screen might be off. It’s definitely pink, blue, green, black and grey

Rolled 180k, changed the oil, replaced the tailgate strut and dropped 14 Benjamins at Discount Tire.

I’ve always wondered about the mud tires on campers/trailers. Is there functional reason or is it for looks?
First gnarly 4-lo climb of the hunt and I start hearing a clanking sound just as we reached the top. I stopped and reached underneath to eventually discover the drivers side front radius arm’s rear nut was gone. Turns out Tommy torque wrench (pictured above..or maybe it was me, I don’t know) didn’t hit 90Nm on that one. FORTUNATELY the spare tire also uses a trio of m14 nuts - took one of those and it got us through the rest of the week no problem. That’s good engineering, if you ask me…
Jimny went wherever we asked it, and on some real goat trails that a longer vehicle would have had trouble with.
660cc with a turbo needs some revs though, takes some getting used to. 8500rpm redline!

Idk to be honest. That is what it comes with so thats what I continue to put on it. I imagine they do some good that camper goes into pretty bad places. Its never been stuck...knock on wood
