Replying to: john1701a (Sep 27, 2005 7:16 pm) GM merely used the term to try and entice interest. Apparently it didn't work too well as they sold very little. The mileage gains are nil. Essentially you're just paying for a generator.

The battery is bigger than usual and the starter is bigger than usual. It's an improvement to original parts, nothing new. JOHN Replies to this message: stevedebi (Sep 28, 2005 11:06 am)

" Well, there is the equipment added to enable the regenerative braking to charge the batteries, plus the electric A/C (gary, correct me if I'm wrong on this one), and of course the components to run those electric 110V outlets. Those don't exist on a stock GMC...

No offense No offense taken. I also don't worship any vehicles. They are just a means to get me and my stuff from one place to another. Actually buying the Sierra Hybrid was an after thought. It had the engine and towing package I wanted. The dealer offered the hybrid option for a grand and I figured what the hey. I like the truck. It is very Quiet & smoothest running vehicle we own including the Lexus. I don't get offended easily. I realize there are a lot of zealots hang out on this forum with very narrow vision.

"I realize there are a lot of zealots hang out on this forum with very narrow vision." I get annoyed when people talk about themselves on this forum

Enough of the personal stuff. Resist the urge to talk about each other and stick to the topics please. Replies to this message: kwc205 (Nov 02, 2005 5:22 am) gagrice (Nov 03, 2005 9:16 am)

Replying to: pf_flyer (Sep 29, 2005 4:20 am) I would love to buy a GMC anything but the hybrid would be better. Saving gas is always a good thing. Unfoprtunately, all the reserach I have done suggests that the new hybrid does not have any better mpg than my 2001 Sierra. The complexity of the system doesn't seem to warrent a change nor the 17 mpg city. That is not a savings to me. Replies to this message: gagrice (Nov 03, 2005 9:16 am)
