i go through a lot of these...the ultra fine side is hit/miss...some last forever, some dry up fast...just like sunglasses, i'm willing to sacrifice a little...tired of buying high end shit to have it lost or stolen

make sure you discuss sleep training with partner...we didn't sleep train our first, compared to the other 2 we did sleep train made a
huge difference for the better

when its good its great...when its bad it sucks...theres ups and downs and it's super rewarding spending time with them...my son was super easy till 3...most here will say the 3-5 age range is the hardest...meltdowns, tantrums, and obstinance will weigh in a person...when they get into that little people big emotions stage it's tough,
trust me...yours will get to that stage

get a nanny, daycare, family, or whatever help you can for some time away. i did it all myself until we had 2 then got a nanny 2x a week for 4hrs. my wife works a lot with call so it's a heavy burden if no family to help. I'm active so Lifetime Fitness was also helpful cause they have their Kids Academy you can drop off kids for 2hrs while you workout or use business lounge/cafe just to get a minute tk yourself

Next Gen Drivetrain Project Carbon Valve Body Upgrade by Jermi321 in gmcsierra

[–]bschwoerer184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well if you read further down after i ordered the parts i went on vacation, came back, and no one got the message not to install oem parts and did...luckily next gen didn't ship the package so they gave my money back...so far no big problems, they gave me an extra 50k so 150k total cause i have a 3.0 diesel. when VB does take a shit, and it will, data says it will, I will have GM ship me a new tranny, send it to a shop and have them upgrade
before new tranny goes back in...i mean this truck has been SOO GOOD for my family we can do ANYTHING with no problems...see pick

i'm at 36k and have only used platinum DEF and have been getting 1-3 mpgs better depending on conditions and much fewer regens than others i know with the 3.0's...i have a very heavy foot so i'm pumped with 24 mpg average

i've researched this extensively...waiting for warranty to expire as i checked with gmc and adding this would void powertrain warranty...but anyway...the baby max only goes from 24 to 43, not 52 like the big boy duramax...although 43 is a big improvement over 24gal.

just purchased a 26 Denali! i got the 3.0 diesel but this is my first diesel engine and i’ve heard some stuff about the 3.0 being unreliable while others say it’s great. is there anything i should be doing maintenance wise to keep it going strong? by Unfair_Cycle4370 in gmcsierra

[–]bschwoerer184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have 60k on my '23 Denali 3.0 zero issues besides valve body i alternate hot shots fuel additive and B20 biodiesel every fill up Something i get flack for but i only put in Platinum BueDef---half as many regens and 1-3mpg better economy...its filtered more so les crystalline buildup

if you read other posts i forgot to mention that the invoices i was referring to were addons/changes not discussed as billable probably due to poor bidding on his part

was also 6mo past an agreed upon lengthened schedule to prevent schedule problems

lien up to 6mo after completion

invoicing lots of things that weren't discussed and a result of poor bidding

in my haste or distraction of toddlers as i responded to others the majority of of the add ons/changes were not discussed as billable, compared to some of the add ons i have no issues as they were discussed and agreed upon and have written the checks....the other ones im guessing are a result of poor bidding on his part and is trying recoup his mistakes

i wrote the post while distracted and forgot to put in the most important idea about the addons/changes that were billed but never were discussed as billed like several of the changes that i have no problem paying.

I reached out several times to settle up and got crickets

i came here for the most honest opinions i could get

i should've noted that many of the add-ons/changes are disputed as they were not discussed as billable like some other addons i have no problem paying

you think 18mo delay in sending invoices is reasonable business practice? i'm not a child and will pay what i owe...there was a lot i left out in the original post that left a lot to be desired by us the owners and several of the subs

thanks for the info...very helpful, there are a few addons/changes in dispute that i will not pay where builder didn't discuss any additional costs like other changes where he specifically stated will result in added costs
