  1. You have the TB from before the factory lift was introduced? GM has (had) a kit available to install the factory lift on those trucks. They will of course have part numbers for the cv assembly used in the kit. (there is also a 2wd version of the kit) Kit as shown on chev accessories pages:
  2. If your regularly putting that many miles on it seems it might be good candidate for oil sampling to determine the 'oil condition' vs miles vs OLM Sometimes an 'early' oil change is a matter of convenience, and to avoid wanting/needing to do a change during a long trip or during a busy season.
  3. Depends on setting selected, and depends on how close the truck is to the object. (there are a bunch of camera view choices) I sometimes put it in reverse and back to drive to activate the front camera -- instead of getting within 12 inches 1. Front/Rear Standard View Displays an image of the area in front or behind the vehicle. To select, touch Front/Rear Standard View on the infotainment display when a camera view is active. When the hitch guidance is selected, Rear Standard View will remain visible across gear changes, otherwise the view will toggle between Front and Rear Standard View based on gear position. If equipped, the front view camera also displays when the Park Assist system detects an object within 30 cm (12 in). To access this view when in a forward gear above 12 km/h (8 mph), select CAMERA on the infotainment display and select Rear Standard View. The view will close after 8 seconds and can be closed early by selecting X, Home or Back.
  4. Be aware that when running with them in the pulled in position, the new style GM tow mirrors, along with the revised 'A' pillar, together create a much bigger blind spot (especially on passenger side) than the previous generation mirrors. I have been a user and fan of tow mirrors for many years. Ran '10, '11, '16, '18 and '21 with tow mirrors. Ran a '15 with regular mirrors. Lack of tow mirrors was one reason I switched to the '16. Current '23 has standard mirrors, in part because I'm driving more often in mare situations where the blind spot is a nuisance. I 'feel' (long time since I drove the '15 or similar) that the rear visibility is better with the newer type of standard mirrors. Haven't towed one of the enclosed trailers with this truck yet. I don't tow a travel trailer. I don't tow much anymore. I'm thinking I'll try the clip-on style if I decide the standard mirrors aren't doing the job.
  5. Lots of tailgate options on Silverado Sierra doesn't have as many options: (QT6 not available on 1500 sierra)
  6. I once drove off with it down in a '21 denali -- no warning. Another vehicle flagged me down. Haven't done that with the '23. I have a Retrax cover (the rolling poly one) The trucks tailgate as a portion of the midgate cover that is higher than the rest. I can see this higher spot when I am driving, so I can confirm it is up.
  7. Had an '21 LM2 and now running a '23 LZO. Haven't heard any thumping sounds in either of them.
  8. Whether or not certain engine makes sense, depends on performance objectives. Applies to all 4 engine offerings. Same logic applies to mid-size/LD/HD platform choice.
  9. 3.0 has a 100,000 mile powertrain warranty. Bumper to bumper is the same as the gas trucks
  10. I'm curious about this. Do the trucks power brakes work ok with the engine not running? Is there a reason the invisbrake isn't powered by the rv - instead of discharging the pickups battery?
  11. Since the truck is getting more expensive anyway, and we're helping to spec out your retirement / travel truck, and you need nice seat features for co-pilot --- I hear the massaging seats are nice. Your back would probably REALLY LIKE the massaging seats. (you'll have to switch to a high trim Sierra)
  12. Some of us seniors never shut the radio off....
  13. They are solid bars, with a hexes formed on on the ends in a 'upsetter'. (it's a forging process) (for a few years I worked for a vender than made torsion bars...) Anyway, hexes and length will be the same so they fit the trucks, diameter gets changed to change spring rate. If you're ever changing them, there are RH and LH versions. Yes, it matters.
  14. For every vehicle, appliance. tool, electronics, etc etc that you buy and that someone tries to sell you an extended warranty --- take the insurance (warranty) cost and put it into a 'self insured' bank account. If there is a failure -- AND --- the failure would have been covered by the package you didn't buy --- take money from the account to pay for it. If the package wouldn't have paid for it, then don't use the account. There is a chance that early in this 'self insured' program that the account may have a negative balance. When you retire and have a significant balance in the account, you'll be able to celebrate that it's you that has the money and not the people/companies selling the packages. Those that sell these packages don't do it because the program loses money. Even after printing literature, paying sales commissions, perhaps a few failures they have to cover, etc etc OTOH, it's your money, and if you sleep better spending some of it, then go for it.
  15. My pic is from an LZO. Previous was an LM2 that got a little over 26 mpg across 36,000 miles. Running 55 - 60 it would get the 25 mile page over to low-mid 30's any day on level ground, no wind, not drafting.
  16. So some areas of the USA have 4.5 quarts per gallon? So much for standards.
  17. That would piss me off! Did you have the information turned off in the information page selection list? I've been using the information page selection list to 'turn off' trip 2, thinking it prevents accidental resets in service or by other drivers. Since at least 2015, I've had no 'trip 2' resets. It still records even when not enabled for display, so if I want to see the data I turn it back on, read the data, then turn it back off. Anybody know if there are service procedures / updates that cause reset to the DIC data?
  18. Crap in fins of condenser (and/or) or rad reducing airlfow.... Anything installed in front of it?
  19. Operators manual says - stablitrac re-engages at 35 mph. - traction control stays off until button pressed to re-engage or until re-started When wheel speed is needed for deep snow/mud/sand/etc there is no worry about traction control re-engaging. My problem was sometimes forgetting to turn off traction control.... Press and release to disengage traction control. 'Traction control off' light should come on. T shut both off, press and hold, til lights for both 'TC off' and 'Stabilitrac off' have come on. .
  20. 22 limited and 22 refresh or just the refresh trucks? OP has a 22 limited.
  21. Theft alert setting: Theft Alert Theft alert can be set if a trailer is connected and the alert is enabled. When the trailer is disconnected and the vehicle is off, an alarm will sound. Touch Theft Alert to turn on/off Theft Alerts for the selected profile. These alerts are based on the Trailer Profile, so the settings for each Trailer Profile must be turned on or off. This setting will be off by default for each Trailer Profile, including the Guest Trailer Profile. A smartphone will receive a notification that the trailer related to the selected Trailer Profile is disconnected from the vehicle, if the setting is on for the active Trailer Profile, the vehicle has an OnStar or connected service plan and the smartphone number has been added to the account for this notification. If the setting is turned off for a given Trailer Profile, the smartphone will not receive this security notification even if the Trailer Profile is active.
  22. OM says When a trailer is connected and the vehicle is off, the Trailering App System will periodically pulse the lighting circuits of the trailer to verify it is still connected. The trailer lights may periodically flash as a result of this trailer connection detection. These flashes may be more visible in dark ambient light environments. The flashing or flickering lights are a normal condition and the Trailering App System has built-in protections to prevent the battery from draining. When Theft Alert is enabled, the frequency and pattern of this flashing will change. This function has been on GM pickups for quite a few years. I'm not positive when it started. K2 generation perhap?
  23. Regen can initiate form miles, soot, fuel burned or hours. Each one has a maximum, and it seems that the computer calculates a % of maximum for each one. Most of use daily driving will usually regen because of soot level. 23 with LZO has the same problem with those items changing to 'dashes' a few seconds after start. I'm using 1.24.7 (beta) build. The dpfdis item seems to be an average def distance rather than 'miles since last regen' that was available on my 21 (pre-refresh) LM2. There seems to be a bunch of items that were working on the pre-refresh LM2 trucks that are not working post refresh. Are you using the 'DMAX LM2' vehicle selection that is the 2nd from bottom on list on 1.24.7?
