You are on the money and have been for quite some time. You are a guy that commonly uses common sense. While my post wasn't intended to be religious the parable, in context, isn't from the viewpoint of the person on the path but rather explaining the choice between a standard set by God and one men choose for themselves. So, I'd say yes a person knows if he is attempting to walk a prescribed path or one he makes up as he goes along. As I intended it to be taken, however, the narrow path in oil matters requires knowledge and application of the facts as opposed to the wider path of 'what's on sale and lets run it a few years' thinking or....or....or. Science v Whatever you think. But knowing you @Atlas, I expect you already knew all of this.

Yeah, I think I agree with that.

Cool. But now it needs to be lowered.

My first truck was a Sierra GT and I’ve always wanted another one. I seriously doubt GM will ever make it (or another regular cab Silverado SS) but here’s an AI rendering.

Has anyone had speakers and amps installed without screwing up the CanBus ?

$5.15 / 87 at Kroger this morning to kick off the week. Gotta start jacking it up for the incoming holiday weekend!!

But do we really know who makes it to what set of gates, and where? Like oil and everything else, I think the only answer is to walk toward your own gate, and can't expect anyone else to follow.

Your problem can occur gas or diesel. They both are wrapped by the same exact truck electronically.

One week old 2026 High Country 3.0 Duramax with 220 miles. Issue started with a failure to "auto start" Sunday morning. Started from within the cab via the push button and all appeared well. Then later in the afternoon and again the "auto start" failure and the push button start in the cab but this time I had two big completely black screens staring back at me. The vehicle is awaiting a GM roadside assistance tow to the dealer for diagnostics. I bought the diesel due to zero faith in the gas engines, but it would appear that does not make one immune to failures. My life long love of GM is failing and I have began to think other brands might be a better option.

My guess is valve body in the transmission went bad. Mine did the same thing, but I was stuck in a mid gear and could go 65 mph at 3800 rpm. My transmission temp got up to 205. Dealer fixed the bad valve body and serviced the transmission in 3 hours--all under warranty. Good luck

As you know I have done shorter OCI'S for years and my motors have been trouble free.

That should answer the maximum depth difference between the stock and the PPE so its not hugely lower. As to the PML pan, they don't make any claims that it fits the L8T with the same transmission and in fact leave their information confusing, however on the surface it says "for Duramax" and so its hard to say. I know a while back and not sure which brand it was that specifically stated that the extra capacity pan that particular company made did NOT fit the gas version.

There are several versions of the 5100's. Some for stock height, some for leveled, some for lifted. Side note. I finally had a chance to tow with my 30' gooseneck with about 10,000 lbs of material on it this past week. Hands down the 5100's made the trailer towing much more stable and comfortable. I even had 10 cmu blocks in the bed. What a difference over the stock shocks.

According to PML, the stock pan is 4.3" deep - (PML info): Dimensions: at deepest area, PML pan is 7 inches, stock pan is 4.3 inches PPE is 5.4" so roughly 1.1" deeper than stock

I had not realized that PPE has come out with a version of a cast aluminum oil pan specific to being able to fit onto the 10L1000 with the L8T engine sometime this spring. I was doubting that anyone would come out with something beyond what Dorman had in more of a direct factory pan swap. I see from one comment that is on the PPE site that they found the pan to be tighter to install then the factory unit and having to flex the exhaust down to fit it. I didn't lookup any specs if they have any as per how much lower it hangs but as it holds more oil and has fins outside the pan it would no doubt hang a certain amount lower. I looked back at the site and they do have some depth measurements to get a rough comparison to the factory pan total height or hang down if you will at the front and rear of the pan so that will give a good idea how much further down this pan would end up being for ground clearance issues. 2024-2026 GM 6.6L Gas 10L1000 Heavy-Duty Cast Transmission Pan – Pacific Performance Engineering
