Finished detailing the truck and did the transmission thermostat delete by flipping the pill.

Hello all! New member here from Texas. Started out on trucks back in the 80s, and had a 89 Silverado with the 5.0 that went 250K+ with minimal issues. I’ve been away from Chevys for a few years, but just brought home a 2021 LT Trail Boss with the 5.3 . Im looking forward to participating, learning around here.

Well in the a deal that was too good to pass up i am the proud owner of a new 2021 Sierra 1500 elevation/ offroad edition Duramax! Randomly put my old 2020 trailboss with 25k miles online for what i paid for it a year ago and had a dealer message me offering that price. They had ONE blacked out sierra and it was the ONLY duramax on the lot. Out the door was break even. I walked out the door with a new truck for no added cost to me. Was silly not to buy it. Im considering a 6" lift and 35s. My trailboss has 2+2" lift for 35s so i miss my lift.

Looks awesome. 19 Silverado owner but love that front end...

If I remember right the top line is the one I took off when I used the transmission to pump out it's own fluid into a bucket during a fluid exchange. Also remove the transmission line thermostat if you haven't. You'll see an easy 30-40 degree temp drop without even adding the cooler.

Zone off-road front level with UCA Method MR305 NV 18X9 -12 offset Nitto ridge grapplers 35x12.50x 18 Yes they rub but with a little love to the fender well they don't anymore.

FYI, Be careful of new members on here asking to purchase or selling items, i never bought or sold but apparently its an issue.

Thanks, it's far from perfect my starting point was less than ideal. So with you and co-pilot out you're 4810lbs. I should still weigh again with fuel. But that's much closer than I thought. I'd imagine I have more on my front end though. Side note have you every thought about fabricating a lower air diffuser that streamlines airflow from the lower front bumper valance back past behind the oil pan? I too watch fuel economy like my life depends on it, sold my TDI VW so I've considered building some of these for my low 2wd trucks to test.

Going to pick up a Purolator or Wix replacement with the 22 psi bypass today. The parts store near my job should have one or the other. What a confusing mess. I appreciate everyone helping shed some light on the different twists and turns of the apparently “new” PF63 (GM 12707246).

Ya, just found out about the high pressure pump. Learning a new engine should be fun.

I'm the guy that said they dropped the "E", the part numbers changed a few months ago on most oil filters dropping the "E" designation. The internals of the filter are the same. There was/is no TSB on it, we get answerbacks from GM telling us about number changes and letting us dealers know that a part number is changing, most of the time it does not involve a TSB.

I understand that it is hard to accept a 0w-20 will protect your investment. But realize GM has developed the 3.0 diesel from the ground up and the oil was part of that R&D. Run it with confidence. Also 0w-20 has been out for a long time in gas engines with hundreds of thousands of miles with no issues. Oil has come a long way and a true synthetic like AMSOIL will provide superior protection.

You pads are almost worn that fast? I always used to say if Delco did anything right it was brake pads. Still onhe stock pads on the front of my 2006 LBZ Duramax with 275000kms and Ive towed my 36ft enclosed 5thwheel Cargo hauler more than couple times with out the trailer brakes working. That is crazy if your brakes are really wearing out already. With that low mileage I would assume they would replace them as defective.

I did this rough country set up and wired it to a wireless module and used one of my home link buttons to turn them on so I didnt have to run wires to the cab. Works great. I would of liked to have brighter lights but with my ltz grill that was the only option I had. They do fill in at night but do not expect them to light the world up in front of you.

I signed papers for delivery of 2021 AT4 6.2L gas in ebony twilight metallic. Also purchased these accessories to be put on: Light up LED black GMC badge, Borla Exhaust system, Powered Tonneau Cover, Locking storage for under rear seat, console organizer, ceramic tint for all windows and brow, and bed mat to cover over spray in bed liner. Hopefully be delivered in 2-3 weeks and I can post pics. Traded in a 2019 Ram Limited 3500 DRW 6.7 Cummins.

Pic from 2019 before the Rhino-lined lower and steps. Towed this 21 ft Tahoe from DC to Huntsville. Didn't even know it was back there.

I only tow this to the the pontoon boat store and storage place in the fall and back to the lake in the spring

I tow this frequently in the summer. Kids started getting into water sports and my old “speed boat wasn’t working out well. So I found this. Don’t really need a ski boat, but I’ve always thought the old style low profile boats were cool, this ones all fiberglass, no wood, and a 350 Chevy.

How about this height difference? I think this is a 2/4 drop. Maybe 3/5?

Installed the GM Rear-Seat Entertainment System with DVD Players in my 2017 Silverado 1500 Rally 1. Kids love them!!!

Dealer said there was a checksum error with the steering module. Re-flashed and everything magically started working. Hopefully getting reimbursed for the towing from GM will be half as easy. Careful with those updates!

New set of wheels finally came in!!!! Now gotta wait for tires, lug nuts and hub centric rings. wheels: Cosmis XT006R 20x9.5+10 tires: NT555R2 305/50/20

2018 Alumacraft Trophy 185 w/ Honda 150. Very versatile setup. Handles big water great and does just as well on small inland lakes.

Scarab 30 Tournament behind my '21 6.2 with Max Tow Package. Boat and trailer come in at 9600 lbs without fuel or gear. Fully loaded with 280 gallons of fuel it scales at 11,200 lbs, just under max tow rating for the truck. I do not tow any long distances fully fueled, just fill up right before reaching the launch.

That time of year again.

It was driving me nuts too, and I actually had to read the manual to find out. Different than my previous 3 Chevy trucks....
