  1. When do you draw the line and move on to a newer truck? I still love the SS but she is really starting to show her age (12 y/o).

      I was to the point where my maintenance costs were approaching that of a payment on a newer truck. Plus the downtime involved. I figured it was smarter financially for me at the time. I still miss my SS but realistically was never going to be able to get a full resto done to make it last here in WI.

  2. truxedo truxport bed cover says won't fit over spray on over-the-rail bed liners... why? does anyone here recommend a good tonneau cover?

      spoke with truxedo and they said the front seal is why they don't recommend it with spray on over the rail bed liners. but with the truxport, the seal can be applied to the liner itself rather than the bed, so it should be ok... the seal doesn't stick to the spray on liner.

      I've had the Acadia for maybe a week now and it's been one thing after the next. Dropped it off at the stealership on my way to the airport today. Hope to go home with something different when I get back. I've read problems with oil consumption on the 5.3?
