  1. All radios for '21 have wired carplay. '21 is the first year to have wireless carplay, but it still depends on which radio/which trim you have. NEW! Wireless Phone Projection, for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto WT, Custom, Custom TB -- not available LT, RST, LT Trailboss - Included and only available with (PCM) Convenience Package II. LTZ.HC - standard
  2. Even the dealers don't know.
  3. If you're shortening anyway, might as well put the 5'9" box on it...
  4. Guy I use usually has few little cadillac suvs that they use for loaners.
  5. I still just write it down in a little book.... ...using the same method since the '70's oil crisis....
  6. It'll make the oil last longer for the things that still need it.
  7. Why wouldn't they want to cover their cost? Besides, by saying that meant they sold sell it without investing extra time.
  8. Any trim is available without the multi-pro.
  9. I've found it to be any every year thing.
  10. Prior to the T1's, they only used AFM. The 2019 K2 style double cab used the L83, which was an AFM 5.3L L83 Engine, 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 with Active Fuel Management, Direct Injection and Variable Valve Timing, includes aluminum block construction (355 hp [265 kW] @ 5600 rpm, 383 lb-ft of torque [518 Nm] @ 4100 rpm; more than 300 lb-ft of torque from 2000 to 5600 rpm) If you know which engine you have you know if it is AFM or DFM. If it's a T1 truck, the AFM 5.3 is the L82 . L82 Engine, 5.3L EcoTec3 V8, (355 hp [265 kW] @ 5600 rpm, 383 lb-ft of torque [518 Nm] @ 4100 rpm) the DFM 5.3 is the L84. L84 Engine, 5.3L EcoTec3 V8, (355 hp [265 kW] @ 5600 rpm, 383 lb-ft of torque [518 Nm] @ 4100 rpm); featuring all-new Dynamic Fuel Management that enables the engine to operate in 17 different patterns between 2 and 8 cylinders, depending on demand, to optimize power delivery and efficiency For the T1's, lower trims -- WT, Custom, Custom TB, and the base Sierra, use the L82. The higher trims use the L84. No trim uses both.

Both trims available with front buckets and centre console in either cloth or leather Elevation can be Front 40/20/40 bench seat with covered armrest storage and under-seat storage (lockable) in cloth or Front bucket seats with center console in cloth LT will be 40/20/40 bench seat with covered armrest storage and under-seat storage (lockable) in either cloth or with "Leather-appointed front outboard seating positions"
  12. Good catch! That's what I get for not checking mine? And I knew about the QR label for service parts. QR code replaces the RPO code label that used to be in the glovebox. (this was changed/they added prior to adding the new trailering info label) Should have put 2 and 2 together when the picture I scooped from the 'net didn't have the QR. code.... QR sticker will be something like this.
  13. Similar results with this one. (but only about 1/10th of the miles so far) Every fill-up has given 24.xx mpg. Hand calcs show a little better than the truck computer.
  14. Gross Vehicle - truck and loads alone Gross Combined - truck + trailer, and all loads RGA - rear gross axle Curb - truck without passengers or payload This is from an HD, but shows the second label, from the bottom of post. Trailering information label: Tire labels look like:
  15. Tire sticker is usually on on the side of the post facing up/front. The vin specific towing label is usually on the same post, but on the side facing outwards, at the very bottom.
  16. Last fall, GM changed the pricing for the 3.0. One of the places that covered the story: https://gmauthority.com/blog/2020/09/chevy-silverado-diesel-gets-sees-price-drop-exclusive/
  17. I'd be getting it looked at, and I'd avoid using it until after.
  18. I don't know what they are using now, but some generations of the transfer case plate were a VERY high strength steel.
  19. Yes. LM2 Engine, Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel I6, (277 hp [206.6 kW] @ 3750 rpm, 460 lb-ft of torque [623.7 N-m] @ 1500 rpm) 1 - Includes (KW5) 220-amp alternator and (K05) engine block heater. 2 - Standard on TK10743 models.

And from one of the GM bulletins about the 3.0L Also inform the customer to avoid engine block heater use in temperatures above 0°F/–18°C. While the owner’s manual states an engine block heater should be used in temperatures less than 0°F/–18°C, it isn’t vital until much lower temperatures of less than –13°F/–25°C.

  21. Def is available everywhere these days. (truck/highway stops, most any auto parts store or department) ( 10 years ago when it first came into use it was different story) If I was you I would fill the def tank NOW and record odometer when you do. Many (most?) dealers do not fill the def tank. The new ('20+) def level indicator is a combo range estimator and level indicator. It seems that it has mislead many. Depending on usage, it's possible it will get 1000 - 1200 miles per gallon of def (1/2 of that if it's working hard). If you don't fill it so you KNOW that it's full, then in several 1000 miles when you decide to add some you will not be able to ACCURATELY calculate the def mpg it's giving for your usage. It does have a shelf life, so don't buy a bunch on sale to store. Bulk pump at a truck stop is the easiest way to add it. Cheapest price, easiest to get into tank, and no leftovers to mess with. Until the 'platinum' version came along we would have told you all brands were the same - as others posted, platinum seems to be to cause issues (adt least with some GM's. Peak of course blames GM, but they are acknowledging that with the platinum version there is an issue. The truck will start giving warnings when it thinks there is about 1000 miles to empty. One thing to remember is that even when it reaches EMPTY it will give another 500 miles before imposes the 65 mph speed limit. I'm not recommending waiting til then but if it happens, chances are you need fuel by then anyway.
