Hope this link works.... could they have dicked up the Urea tank any more? I swear
GM Engineer: "Lets make the low hanging tank hang lower and make it look like a rubbermaid container!"
I see no problem with the DEF tank. . . . but then I love Rubbermaid containers. . . .
FFS why can't they put it under the bed on the passenger side like the gas tank, I mean am I insane thinking that
Why hasn't an aftermarket company come up with a relocation kit yet lol. Not everyone wants to delete their 70k truck and lose their warranty. It's going to be my new work truck and I bet I would have ripped it or damaged it this summer at least a dozen times on jobsites. Guess I'll be walking more.
I'm sure my "DEF relocation kit" idea is a lot easier said than done though. I could only imagine extending DEF lines and it freezes up easier. Esp when its -20 out like right now. :rofl:

Believe it or not the fuel tank is the same height, it just sits on the inside of the frame so it doesn't look as low. The fact that it's right behind the wheel is the main cause for concern imo not the height. Plus it's hideous
Seen a couple get smashed and not ripped off but loose. when guys beat company trucks down lease roads with big ruts WFO. Bad roads aren't common anymore but when we do get one during a move from all the trucks being in and out, you usually find a weak spot in someone's truck.
I just talked to my local stealership guy in Reno Nv, and he told me that the truck I ordered back in November has been built and has passed quality control including a vin#, but now the feds want it and the 3000+
other trucks waiting to be shipped to be smogged!!! He told me it could be a huge problem, that it could take the engine and catalytic converter approximately 1,800 miles to break-in and cat converter cycles to be able to pass smog, WTF over???
Hope this isn't another Volkswagen fiasco, because these trucks are already hitting the streets and they wouldn't be if they weren't legitimate, right?

There's got to be a reason no one has a 17 yet. I work for the guy who's family owns Lowes and he doesn't have his yet, something is up, he had his 15 in January of 14. I'm glad I listened to my dealer buddy and grabbed a 16. I really didn't believe him 100% when he said no one would take delivery untill after the new year...
But aren't the 2017's already on a few dealer lots?? Someone somewhere has to have one by now.
There have been quite a few delivered already. A few on the DF have them, PPEI, DT, WCF all have them. Not to mention they are starting to show up at dealers all around the country, we have a couple around here that have them.
Seems like a few have been released but by no means any major numbers yet. These trucks should have hit the lots in August or September latest, GM is lagging behind...
Its true there is some uncertainty with a new engine pertaining to emissions output during the initial break in, but the EPA can't legally hold ALL new trucks unless there was a problem.
You've seen 2017 trucks around Tallahassee and Quincy?
All I have seen is new Powerstrokes
