The L3B in the Canyon has been out since 2018 or 2019 in the Silverados/Sierras, and in the Canyon since '23. It was updated in '22 with stronger block, internals, and improved fuel injection components. It seems relatively proven in the GM forums. I dont think parts will be an issue for an...

I have Verizon, the ole lady has ATT. We haven't consolidated phone plans. Each seem to have their strong areas. My work issued phone is ATT so if one isnt working I grab the other 😄

I get random people compliment the truck on occasion. It's fairly stock too, so that's amusing. Most like the color.

If only my wallet was shaped that nicely 😄

Starlink was recently running a deal where you get a home antenna and you would get a mini for free, you just had to keep service on the mini. Or something like that. They always have something going on. But you can do it on one account best I saw.

I considered getting fancy and powering it via a time delay relay. So that when I shut the truck off I have internet for, say, 15 minutes before it automatically powers it down. https://a.co/d/00wNBMHe

Another update. Drove to lunch with a coworker. Left Starlink tuned on and my phone connected while we ate. About 30 minutes into lunch, GladiatorLink (as I have named it in the settings) went down. Checked the data page - I suspect the voltage got low enough that the antenna turned off. So...

We typically have one bar of 4G at out house, if that. There are several places nearby that we go to where signal goes away alltogether. Which I find hilarious considering I'm an hour outside New Orleans. Heck, my cell phone barely works when I'm at work unless I connect to their WiFi, and...

Fair way to look at it, I think. If the OP is a gear head, loves to tinker, loves diesels, or has a specific need - I think they are great. Or if he just likes his Gladiator a lot and the features that are specific to Jeeps, that's fair too. But a lot of newer turbo motors offer the same /...

We are sitting at north of 300 MBPS on cable. They just ran fiber past the house and we are probably gonna switch just for the sake of getting a lower bill for a while. We don't even need the speeds we have 😂 That's OK, I had very limited logical reason for Starlink. And here we are.

Starlink Mini came in. A bit unnecessary but I want to spend some time traveling again and this will be nice to have. We'll also be utilizing it as emergency backup internet for the house. Where we live internet can go out frequently during storms and phone service is poor without it. Anyway...

I love that we all complain how difficult it is to nail down the tow rating on a Gladiator and a quick Google search led me to very clear and concise information on the GMC website. Jeep should take notes 🤣 Edit: Payload capacity. They titled this wrong though (max towing instead of payload)...

The turbo 4 is one of the features that turns me on to the GM twins, really. A boat load more power than our engines, and a relatively solid engine in general reputation wise. I drove a previous generation before. They were fine, but the styling on them I just can't get into. I feel ya on the...

Following up on the Starlink. No rattles or squeaks from the mounting solution, so I think that will be fine. It performed fine from the small inverter I had. I looked back and it claims to be a pure sine wave inverter. I'm sure that's debatable as it is not a particularly expensive product...

I downloaded the app to try today. I saw that they even had some 'trails' in Mississippi a couple hours away. So looks like it could be more broadly useful to me.

For sure. Like I said. Temporary. Getting by with testing for a few days and then we'll probably order and install that 12V to 30V converter. Starlink is sensitive to low voltage but stepping it up to its native voltage will alleviate that, and give me flexibility. Good point on inverter...

I saw that but was being cheap. I figured I was going to use it like this until I arranged the exact cord / power setup i want. I just saw this on Amazon. Then I could hard wire it to the truck and still use the cord thats currently plugged in. Then i could unplug from the 12V step up brick and...

Starlink arrived. It fits really nice above the sound bar. So nice in fact that i added some foam tape on the top, bottom and sides and slid it in there and secured it with a massive zip tie. If it doesn't rattle on my commute the next couple days we'll call it permanent. The power is...

I don't have an outside sink and the ole lady probably doesn't want me using the brand new kitchen sink like that often 😂 Though, I do now have a complete retired kitchen sink. So that's probably an upcoming project. Outside washup sink. Build a lil treated wood frame to perch it on.

I may have to get a trial for Trails Offroad and see how i like it. Looks quality, but not much use to me save for the one week a year I get out west. Edit: I am thinking of Fun Treks. Trails Offroad looks to be more expansive. Might be something to look at, then...
