The first vehicle I owned was a 1980 Oldsmobile Cutluss Supreme with T-Tops. It was sweet, even had a V8 in it (gas guzzler to the bone). I then bought a 1982 GMC S-15. That was a great truck, in...

That was probably the toughest ROTM vote I've done yet. All are great looking trucks. Good luck to all.

I paid $2.83/gal for gasoline back in January and I still have 3/4 of tank left. I am still paying $1.49/GGE for CNG.

Here is a picture of the "X" on the freezer door.

Yum with gravy.

Veal?

Most of them are bi-fuel (run on both gasoline and CNG, but not at the same time). There are a few dedicated (CNG only) ones running around, but those are rare. I am not sure that there are any '01...

It's nice to see another NGV owner here on GMTC! I bought my '03 Silverado last year as well. In Utah, CNG is $1.49/GGE. Plus I got a $2500 state tax credit along with it.

If we are going to...

Steve,

Please tell us about your NASCAR experience at TMS! It was good to see the Bif win (as long as Five-Time didn't win). I wish Jr would have done better, but can't complain about a top 10.

Congrats Steve. Now you can show them to really drive... TEXAS style!

Lapine Rider,

Here is the EPA's website on alternative fuel conversions. All the information you need is there. Happy reading.

Most of the wear and tear on the engine comes from the fact that the CNG is not lubricated like gasoline is. CNG is a gas not a liquid and a dry gas at that. However, most newer enignes have...

Lapine Rider,

I believe "useful life" is less than 10 years old and less than 100,000 miles. Your '95 K3500 is well outside it's useful life.

goldie,

I am a moderator of another website specific for natural gas vehicles. I don't know if the administrators of GMTC will allow me to post a link to another forum website, so PM me and I...

goldie,

Often times I don't know what knowledge to share - so, it is best that you ask. I have been driving a natural gas vehicle for the past 4 years. I have gained quite a bit of knowledge. I...

I think that would be a great idea Steve. It would be nice to have a single place to go to on this website for all your alternative fuel needs. By alternative fuel I don't mean hybrid electric. ...

Ok, so the fam and I just made a trip to the "Happiest Place On Earth" - Disneyland in the Traverse. It was very nice. I do have one question:

The battery indicator fluctuated between ~12 volts...

I just picked up the rails and cross-bars for the roof and installed them last night. Now we can use our Cargo Carrier for the trip to Disneyland next month.

Yup, when my wife and I first started looking at the Traverse, one of the things we did is she sat in the front passenger seat and I sat in the third row back seat. Then without adjusting any seats,...

You really have to do the math (miles you drive and MPG you get) to see if it is cost-effective to get an aftermarket propane or CNG conversion (by the way, they are not the same). That is why...

For those of you who have a 2011 Traverse and are having a hard time (like me) getting it to fit (length-wise) into the garage. Here what I found. I have an upright freezer against the back of the...

Ok, I need some ideas.

My new Traverse "barely" fits in the garage. I have about 8 inches of clearance on the front and about 6 inches of clearance on the back. So, what should I do to easily...

Steve,

I know this is not the place, but since you brought up CNG. I have been driving a Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) for over 4 years now. I started with a 2001 Chevy Cavalier and now I have a...

Here are the pictures of the 2011 Traverse.

It is silver. It is the LT1 model. We are not fans of all the accessories - just power locks, windows, and mirrors that's all we need. It does have heated cloth seats (how strange is that?). I...

Well, my wife and I just bought a 2011 Chevy Traverse yesterday. It will be her vehicle to haul the kids around. The decision was between the Traverse and the Honda Pilot. But the Pilot did not...
