IIRC there was some assembly issue with a wiring harness that went under instead of over a bracket - and that's what tester's feet are hitting. 5 minute fix but still :fullretard: :wtf: and will absolutely hurt sales.
:wat: That's :fullretard:
It's better than using the wrong head gasket I guess... or having shitty transmission programming causing shudders. :disgust:

So is this representative of what Pennsylvania does to all vehicles or what's the deal with the mega-rust?

Probably due to the plant putting down 2” thick of salt for every 1” of snow. Or chemical spills who knows.

Not sure if you guys covered this topic yet... but GM is doing some :neat: things with hydrogen cells for the military.

https://driving.ca/chevrolet/auto-news/ ... e-military

"The vehicle will have over 640 kilometres of range and can be recharged in just three minutes. Last year GM and Honda announced they would be working together to build more efficient fuel-cell stacks as part of GM’s plan to offer 20 new battery electric and fuel-cell vehicles to retail customers by 2023."

"The ZH2 rides on “race-proven Multimatic dynamic suspension,” and the design of the truck also looks to preview the 2020 Silverado."

I'm pretty sure that's a parts truck, guise. Raid it for trim pieces, engine mounts, wiring, whatever. :lol: it doesn't have a driver's seat or door FFS.

But dat rust. I bet that's why it was put to pasture.

What'd you expect?

It's a JL :jeep: with a pickup bed.

Not really much to imagine.
:dat:

It's gonna sell like crazy. I like it, personally.

Slab sided no creativity bed. More slab sided completely flat metal to extend the cab. Same schnoz as the regular Jeep. Lost opportunity. That tailgate looks so homely. Bugging out tail lights. IDK guys, it looks boring.

Hideous, and I'll never understand anyone who is willing to pay a premium for something that loses that much utility. :disgust:
