My question is, will the reprogramming cause a lose of performance or gas mileage like in the VW emission scandal?

I use that during college football season to try to listen to certain teams like the Buckeyes or Michigan finding which of the various sports channels have the game. Otherwise for music it's pretty easy just to pick my preset Soul Town station and Blend.

The only truck they had without the huge console was a leftover 2022 model, a demonstrator with 5,700 miles. They were willing to take $12k off the MSRP, but I really don’t like demonstrators. So I drove 2 blocks down to the Chevy dealer. They had a very nice 2023, with only 5 miles, and the bottom line was only $3,792 more than the Ram demonstrator. Very similar trucks. For being a year older, and having 5k miles already on the clock, I wanted more difference, but that wasn’t happening. So, I bought the Chevy!
They had a dealer add of 4 items, 3 x $999 and 1 x $399, a total of $3.4k. I didn’t even bother to read the sticker, I told them “cancel those items completely, honor your online price, and we can do business”. It only took about 5 minutes to close the deal. Well, actually, it took a couple of hours to get everything completed, but the negotiations only took 5 minutes. All in all, a very pleasant experience.
These pictures are lifted from the dealers web site, and they don't do justice to the color. Radiant Red Tintcoat, a $495 option.
Nice color on that truck. But man, the front ends have just become so danged huge. Something I really don't care for. Makes it too hard to see the front of the car (or anything ahead of you).
Best "car" I ever drove for front visibility? The big Freightliner Ryder truck. fairly short hood, but sloped down nicely and had very defined edges and a dead flat front. and of course you sat up very high (so the dashtop was down low too), I could get that thing within a few inches of the car ahead if I wanted, with no worries. Well, other than the scared look on the people in the car!
now backing up, let's not discuss that.

body-on-frame station wagonpickup! Nice color too, I like red vehicles. Congrats!But I can’t help but notice that it has the huge console?

The salesman was bragging about the integrated Google account (you get Google maps and Google assistant without a linked smartphone), but it turns out you have to pay $24.99 a month for OnStar to get the integrated Google. I will definitely pass on that.
so since I was there, I ran the Acura. It turns 3 next month, 18,000 miles. Carmax offered $36,000 (we only paid $39,900ish for it). Told the wife we should just sell that, and keep 2 trucks! she was, let's just say, not a fan of that idea.
so I fired up Carvana and ran the Maverick. Floored to get offered only $400 less for that. Sticker was only about $30,500 or so. Now I am really curious what Carmax will offer.
too bad I am not getting the new one now, so I could try to get the dealer to match. Quite curious what they would offer but I would be shocked if it was close to that. This is probably enough to make it worth selling now to lock the money in not worry about paying sales tax on the new one. Especially since the value would have to stay high for 3 months more at least. As long as it arrives before July when i need it to take on our beach vacation!

Well with no info about oil/change interval, are you sure you didn’t buy an electric truck.?
Still looks good though. Good luck with it.

Good grief! $54k and not even 4wd. I probably should kept my F150 with the way these prices are. XLT 4x4 with turbo, had everything I could want, and only $48k sticker.

About the maintenance schedule, GM used to do it in a spreadsheet style
for light service and severe service in the owner manual. Now they do it in paragraph
form. Starts on page 417 of your owner manual.
"Maintenance Schedule
Tire Rotation and Required Services
Every 12 000 km (7,500 mi)
Tires are rotated to achieve a more uniform
wear for all tires. The first rotation is the
most important.
Anytime unusual wear is noticed, rotate the
tires as soon as possible, check for proper
tire t..."
Congratulations on your new truck. And
that color is beautiful in real light.

says scanning it gives maintenance schedules.... That

Is there much difference between the 5.3 and 6.2 liter V8s?
Sounds like a solid deal too. Funny, I feel like Pavlov’s dog with this market. I saw the sticker price and thought “hey, thats a good price” 😟

Let's see...
Hmmm... can't recall if I had heated seats. Well, without them, I come up with $57,280. So almost a 19% increase in 5 model years. Nearly 4%/year.

IIRC, the '08 VUE also had OnStar, and we used the service a few times for step-by-step directions to be sent to the car (this was before smart phones, Google Maps, and in-car navigation).
Now, I'm not sure I see the point of it.

Seems like on Leasehackr, some shun the 5.3 but I have no idea why

I picked up the Polestar earlier this week. First off, they said it would be ready on Monday, but I got no call. So left a message at the end of the day. Nothing on Tuesday with additional follow up by me. Finally, Wednesday morning I called the Volvo service (which is the same location) just so I could talk to someone, and they guy says the Polestar service advisor has been out sick and I should have received a notification to that effect.
Now…I have sympathy for someone getting sick, but if one advisor goes out sick and the service department can’t pick up the slack, it makes me at least a bit apprehensive about dropping $85k on a Polestar 3.
And the bill was over $800…new tire, wheel repair and an alignment. Tire was marked up over what the online stores say (though to be fair, all of those were back ordered), install of the tire was $60 (huh?) and there was a “shop charge” of like $45. I asked the service manager about that and he seemed to stumble on the explanation, but I gathered it’s a percentage surcharge they tack on to the bill to “cover shop materials.”
Expensive pothole encounter.

That's a bummer of a bill, however.

Most of the 5.3’s issues are related to the cylinder deactivation from what I’ve read.
2023 Mercedes EQE 350 4Matic / 2022 Ram 1500 Bighorn, Built to Serve
From a GM centric site.
A few days ago, we published a report highlighting the valve lifter issues some General Motors customers were experiencing in certain vehicles equipped with either its 5.3L V8 L84 gasoline engine or 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine. In light of this article, we’ve decided to provide some insight into how GM typically handles valve lifter issues on vehicles still covered under warranty.
If a customer brings their vehicle to a GM dealership and reports a valve lifter problem, the dealership will first determine whether or not the customer has experienced a previous valve lifter issue with this particular vehicle. If they have not and the vehicle has less than 8,000 miles on the odometer, the dealer will replace the lifters on both cylinder banks. If the vehicle has more than 8,000 miles, only one bank of lifters will be replaced.
If the customer has experienced prior valve lifter failures, dealers can choose one of three options: replace one bank of lifters and offer the customer a 60-month, 100,000-mile Powertrain Component Coverage Letter, replace the entire engine, or reach out to the District Manager of Aftersales for further guidance. The solutions are similar for a customer that has experienced valve lifter issues in the past and had one bank of lifters replaced. In this case, the dealer can replace one bank of lifters and offer a 60-month, 100,000-mile Powertrain Component Coverage Letter or reach out to the District Manager of Aftersales.
The aforementioned valve lifter problem affects 2019-and-later model-year Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 pickups, as well as 2021 model-year full-size GM SUVs, including the Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Suburban, Chevy Tahoe, and GMC Yukon. More information on the issue is available in our dedicated report.
