Friday morning I head up to the dealership. I have a few coffees in the waiting room and they come back, finally, with the fact that the ABS light is on because the front left (driver's) ABS sensor is out and needs to be changed out. But the whole assembly is one unit and needs to be changed out, along with the bearing thing..etc etc.

I'm serious right now...wth is up with this stuff??

First, let me say....this is primarily me, venting. I've said most of this stuff before but now I need to get it all out.

With 205,xxx miles on the truck it's about time I just take care of the problem once and ...

This week I'm reviewing the 2010 GMC Terrain. Now that I've been in it for a couple of days, here are my first thoughts.

2010 GMC Terrain Review

First of all, what category is this thing?

I reviewed the Silverado Hybrid 4WD last week, and I must say that I am very impressed with the quality and the technology that went into production. However, there is one question that everyone wants to know ... "Will I save enough in fuel costs to pay for the extra Hybrid cost?"

Take a look at my facts and decide for yourself. Comparison is 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew Cab 4WD 6.0L Hybrid vs. same 6.0L Non-Hybrid.

6.0L Non-Hybrid:
Average 16.5 ...
