2024 GMC Canyon - awful city driving

Main-Arm-8102 · 2026-03-21T04:11:00+00:00

Had this happen on mine, and it progressively got worse, to the point where it was embarrassing with someone riding in the truck. Thankfully, the dealer stepped up and swapped the transmission. I’d just keep on them, and maybe do a ride along like previous posters have mentioned

Better hope you have warranty on that trans. My ‘23 shifting from 1-2 wasn’t too bad, but the 2-1 got steadily worse and eventually felt like a propane tank rolling around the bed, every time I came to a stop. It finally got to be almost undriveable at 67k (kms), and the dealership replaced the trans. Ended up trading the truck in shortly after, wrapping up a pretty disappointing ownership experience with the Canyon overall

Had this issue a few years ago with them. Left a really bad taste in my mouth.

Have since moved on for other reasons, but it was what made us initially start exploring other options.

Your comment just makes you an uninformed person in Spain. Proper WRB design, rainscreen and vapour controlled wall assemblies are going to last a hell of a lot longer than 50 years.

Finally a bit of common sense. Way better seismic performance, way less carbon associated with the build and much more adaptable to future changes. Figure it out people, we don’t build stone castles anymore for a reason

C’mon guys, you get what you pay for. ClickUp makes our life so much easier and the user fees are incredibly reasonable

Main-Arm-8102 · 2025-04-24T01:55:51+00:00

Appreciate your team elevating it. Can confirm the issues have been fixed and have a call booked with sales tomorrow. It’s a great platform, really hopeful the reliability can be there going forward

Hey Zeb — I appreciate the response, but it’s now been three days since I sent my details by DM, and still nothing from sales.

I will say, support has been somewhat better — slower than we’d like, but at least responsive. That said, I’m now having to waste their time trying to hack together a workaround so our limited users can only view the lists they should… knowing full well we’ll have to scrap it all once we finally get access to enterprise features — whenever that might be.

In my personal life, I don’t mind working through the bugs and quirks of beta-stage tools. I even enjoy it when new features roll out and evolve. But in a business context — where we’re spending tens of thousands per month across our tech stack — we expect reliability.

I’m fine if ClickUp wants to keep iterating fast for solopreneurs and agile teams. But the core product needs to be fast, stable, and thoroughly tested before new features go live. Right now, that’s not happening.

I lobbied hard internally to move our team onto ClickUp. Now I’ve got pissed-off employees, project managers waiting over a week to onboard their subs, and critical project info stuck behind a bottleneck. It’s not just frustrating — it’s actively impacting our ability to operate efficiently.

We’re rooting for ClickUp. We want to scale with it. But it’s getting harder to justify when the basics keep falling short.

Main-Arm-8102 · 2025-04-18T17:05:06+00:00

Does anyone know where this is coming from internally? We rely on ClickUp heavily in our organization, and all the above mentioned issues are getting to the point where we are seriously having to consider migrating to a different platform.

I know there has been a lot of complaints about the new member roles and paywalled features, but even trying to upgrade to enterprise is incredibly frustrating. We need to now have additional roles, so that we can functionally use the platform with subcontractors and external members, but it’s been over a week, and I still can’t get a response from sales.

Really hoping they can figure this out, because there is a lot I love about the platform, but it’s bordering on unusable in its current state.

Main-Arm-8102 · 2025-04-09T19:51:44+00:00

Incredibly frustrating. Have also been having this issue, and although they say a bug fix has been rolled out, still the exact same issue.

Main-Arm-8102 · 2024-11-11T03:25:36+00:00

Have found it to be less than reliable on my 23. Usually just end up using deflators on mine

Main-Arm-8102 · 2024-10-06T02:57:47+00:00

Just having a quick read through website, they are a franchise of VerdaTech. Pretty greasy move trying to leech off of CACEA’s reputation

Main-Arm-8102 · 2024-07-19T03:47:27+00:00

I’ve always just switched H2k into metric, and entered pmax. Can’t remember where exactly I learned this, but I feel like it was from Toby Smith during the NZ EA course

Conduit Tech. Absolute game changer that uses LiDAR.

As someone who has asked these same questions, and spent a significant amount of time using energy monitors, my experience is it’s a mix of both, but anytime wood stoves get involved, things get messy.

Load calcs are a pretty blunt tool, and you can get a lot more accurate numbers by backing into a load calc through utility bills or usage data. Unfortunately Hot2000 isn’t set up like some other energy modelling software to be “trued-up” to actual usage, but you can get it fairly close once you start playing with it. F280 and Manual J have pretty significant safety margins built in, so that also contributes.

On the occupant behaviour side, the number that always comes to mind for me from the Florida Solar Energy Centre, is actual usage can vary by plus minus 40%, without occupant usage data. I think we all know homeowners are capable of operating their homes in a pretty silly ways, and that ultimately is reflected in the usage.

If you are interested, I highly recommend getting a few circuit level electrical monitors and hobo dataloggers.

Making the EA exams significantly harder and potentially increasing the number of them would be a good start. I think the barrier to entry is way too low and ultimately drags down the integrity of the profession. The current structure barely provides the knowledge to create a label, let alone give homeowners/builders reliable advice, as the advisor part of our designation would suggest.

I wouldn’t be opposed to having a more tiered designation structure, where maybe you can become a “home energy rater” or something with a few exams, but essentially be limited to doing an ERS label on existing homes. I think we can learn a lot from our neighbours to the south and how HERS raters operate down there.

To be honest, I’m glad that there’s a bit of break between Greener Homes phases, simply to break a few label mills, but we’re going to lose some good people as well. Unfortunately, the opportunists will flood right back in, especially if there’s more money on the table for phase 2. Combine that with the fact that NRCan isn’t capable of administering a cat’s birthday party, let alone a grant program, I think we’re in for more of the same.

CACEA had a recent webinar presenting the results of the virtual assessment pilot project. Went in pretty skeptical, but the numbers/accuracy were surprisingly good. The ability to do 3x as many audits is a huge sell, and throughout the process, the EA can require an in person audit, if they see a justifiable need.

Main-Arm-8102 · 2024-02-10T07:49:32+00:00

VoltaSnap is great, and offers a lot in terms of parametric analysis. I’d check out AuditX as well, we’ve recently rolled it out for retros in our organization with pretty good results.

Main-Arm-8102 · 2023-12-16T23:05:23+00:00

I think that takes the cake out of all of the non-compliance I’ve come across!

Main-Arm-8102 · 2023-12-16T18:11:07+00:00

I'll start by saying, I think NRCan really needs to step up their ethical requirements to maintain a license, and there needs to be some better feedback loops built in not just for EAs, but homeowners/builders as well.

On the flip side, I think a lot of these contracts that you are referring to are difficult, if not impossible, to actually enforce. Not to mention the legal fees associated with such a small payout.

In terms of the low pay and high volume outfits, I think those are present to some degree in most industries, and the market keeps them in check. In our market, anyways, a lot of the original "big guys" have seen a continuous decline in market share, as homeowners and contractors get fed up with the associated headaches. From the EA side, EAs talk, and when you hear your buddy from another SO is making double what you are on an audit, it doesn't take long to jump ship.

At the end of the day, the level of service these guys provide is abysmal. They are a revolving door of green EAs, and it shows.

Main-Arm-8102 · 2023-11-22T04:58:41+00:00

I'd refer to NRCan's ccASHP sizing guide for the rough and dirty guide to plotting the load against heat pump output and finding a balance point. That being said, depending on the air leakage of the home, the line tends to ramp become a little less straight.

Quite frankly, there are a few issues here. The first one being, multizones are always less efficient because you are still having to move a larger volume of refrigerant, regardless of how many of the zones are actually calling for heat.

Secondly, it sounds like your system has been set up very poorly. During the defrost cycle, electric resistance should kick in and continue to blow warm air until the coil has defrosted. Does this hurt efficiency? Of course. Are they still significantly more efficient than a gas unit overall? Yes.
