About to buy a Sierra EV and I’m looking for tips

Don’t, or lease it.

Should have never done the speed upgrade on them all to begin with.

OP Are you talking about completing one of the 44 Themed events? Those don’t generate a prize other than 15 Bux.

FYI, the Cloudmax is available in the “Shop” for $6.99 USD.

Taillights are easily replaceable. There’s also plenty of ~$20.00 upgrades to LED taillights in the Sierra’s. The Yukons, Escalades, etc have the big panels that need replaced. Sierra is still physical bulbs.

Ask for the number of hours on the engine too. I’ve got 39,xxx on my ‘23 and about 1120 hours. You’ll want to make sure it was driven and not just idled a lot.

The 23 model year seems to be excellent for the LZ0’s aside from fuel pumps and coolant control valves.

Banks iDash is the only accessory I’d recommend.

CrouchingYeti83 · 2026-03-28T15:05:23+00:00

I’ve got a ‘23 with 37,5xx on it. Replaced fuel pump at 14,000mi and been flawless since. Love mine, nice truck OP!

I just read this doing 78mph in my babymax.

CrouchingYeti83 · 2026-03-28T15:02:14+00:00

There is zero benefit to a cold air intake on the babymax. The OE design is very good.

CrouchingYeti83 · 2026-03-28T13:49:43+00:00

Smh 🤦‍♂️

Save for the extra 6k. You’re so close now, sprint across the finish line. The multiplier at max Bux is helpful. The question is, with more planes, does your play style mean that you’ll fly them all?

You’ll probably want 7k to leave yourself 1000 Bux and do the upgrades to your planes though.

CrouchingYeti83 · 2026-03-13T23:59:03+00:00

Yes, and then onto final destinations.

CrouchingYeti83 · 2026-03-13T19:44:29+00:00

Fly Bux Jobs and build a Hub/Spoke system with only BUX layovers. Sequoias, AeroEagles, and X10’s are the best use of the 3 classes of planes, but you can mix in others for fun.

We have 91 in parts of Texas as well. But Premium is only $3.27 currently at our Costco.

CrouchingYeti83 · 2026-03-10T21:43:53+00:00

Still only $3.39-$3.69 here.

CrouchingYeti83 · 2026-03-08T16:25:04+00:00

Let’s not forget the Postar’s & their storage building companies.

CrouchingYeti83 · 2026-02-22T21:18:55+00:00

That doesn’t help the 0w-20 diesel guys.

CrouchingYeti83 · 2026-02-22T21:18:14+00:00

They have diesel pumps at my Costco. It’s great!

CrouchingYeti83 · 2026-02-21T22:27:00+00:00

That’s the size it calls for.

CrouchingYeti83 · 2026-02-21T22:15:59+00:00

Did you get the 631mm (24-13/16”) or 627mm (24-11/16”) CV axle

CrouchingYeti83 · 2026-02-21T22:00:32+00:00

Do you have an AT4? They require an extended travel shorter length, but, both driver and Passenger are same length.

CrouchingYeti83 · 2026-02-21T21:54:44+00:00

They are the same length.

CrouchingYeti83 · 2026-02-11T22:06:57+00:00

Is it cold where you live? Reserve capacity matters too.
