AT4X DSSV Shocks on 2020 AT4?
calgator73 replied to SteveCZ's topic in 2019-2023 Silverado & Sierra Mods
Wonder why gm only lists it as an upgrade for 2022 and newer trucks. Control arms are the same...can't really find a difference in part numbers. -
2.7L Plastic Oil Drain Plug
calgator73 replied to Greg Freeman's topic in 2019-2023 Silverado & Sierra
They are everywhere. Search 12713651 -
Consider not only the tongue weight of the trailer but the cargo going in the bed and the way to the passengers. Also consider where the water is going in the trailer sometimes if it's built correctly they put it right over the axle and other times they put forward of the axle so traveling full may really hurt you. You will probably be maxed out as far as your GVWR is concerned. With a weight distributing hitch you should be able to stay below all of your limits. On the surface that sounds like an easy tow. Just be aware that has tongue weight goes up these trucks porpoise like crazy

An alternative, if it is close by to you and your need isn't too frequent, is just to rent a heavy duty truck from Enterprise Truck whenever you need it. You can specify gas diesel short bed long bed even make and model if you give them enough time. No need to worry about ad valorem taxes, maintenance or warranty. The biggest limitation is it has to be a bumper pull.

Slop/Shaking column shifter when in Drive
calgator73 replied to Moose0814's topic in 2019-2023 Silverado & Sierra
I have the same slop...it's been basically the same on my 07, 14 and 20. Vibrating the shifter though could be caused by tires or practically anything in the driveline. Heck even a busted tranny mount could allow for enough movement for the linkage to do strange things. -
20 Silverado Higher speed requirements
calgator73 replied to wslr85's topic in 2019-2023 Silverado & Sierra
If you know the max speed of the shaft you can use this formula I found on another site: MPH = (Driveshaft rpm * tire diameter in Inches ) / ( Gear Ratio * 336) Using the gm accessory steel shaft as an example on my truck: (4391*33.2)/(3.23*336)=134.32mph -
Rear suspension add a leaf
calgator73 replied to Dawson Bourke's topic in 2019-2023 Silverado & Sierra
Deaver makes a kit for these trucks that replaces the overload spring with a progressive pack. Are you running loaded? Is your bump stop hitting the axle? That's a hell of a bump on a highway to bottom your suspension. -
2020 at4 6.2 truck shutting off when in reverse
calgator73 replied to AT4Juan's topic in 2019-2023 Silverado & Sierra
Guess I learned something new. Wouldn't have thought they would remove the TB to clean vs using upper intake cleaner. I've never cleaned my TB...just use top tier fuel and the right oil. Glad you got it sorted. -
2020 at4 6.2 truck shutting off when in reverse
calgator73 replied to AT4Juan's topic in 2019-2023 Silverado & Sierra
That is weird. hard to believe a cold air intake tube...wait....relearn what? There have been people who upgraded to the GM cold air intake and failed to get the calibration for the MAF complete and had all kinds of drivability issues. -
Just purchased a 6100 sq ft house and first time fill is $2.19/gal. Effective rate after fees is $2.22. All other fills are at 2.99 this year. Just found tank farm which is advertising $1.70 this year for my area.

Other than being more resistant to impacts is there a benefit to the new driveshaft upgrade?

Hard Folding Tonneau Cover Opinions
calgator73 replied to Moose0814's topic in 2019-2023 Silverado & Sierra
I am on my third roll-x..well now it's called BAK Revolver X4S Tonneau Cover... IMO they provide a good balance of security, water tight and visibility out back window if you don't have the camera mirror. I get a little water intrusion at back by the tailgate but I haven't been worried about it. -
2020 at4 6.2 truck shutting off when in reverse
calgator73 replied to AT4Juan's topic in 2019-2023 Silverado & Sierra
I tend to agree with Tim with it being electrical. Set your ebrake and have someone exercise the vehicle a little while you observe under the hood. Could be simple chafing on a harness that moves ever so slightly when you shift into different positions. Might also consider just letting it idle in park ebrake set and crawl under the truck moving harnesses by hand. Any kind of harness issue could cause a communications issue that results in a stall. Still under warranty? -
Whining noise when accelerating
calgator73 replied to Joey Livingston's topic in 2019-2023 Silverado & Sierra
That sounds very similar but more intense than what I experienced as I could only hear the noise outside the truck. I take it with belts and pullies being replaced the dealer has isolated this to the engine bay and not the transmission bellhousing area? -

calgator73 replied to Joey Livingston's topic in 2019-2023 Silverado & Sierra
Couldn't play your video. Can you replicate by brake torquing the motor a little? -
2020 at4 6.2 truck shutting off when in reverse
calgator73 replied to AT4Juan's topic in 2019-2023 Silverado & Sierra
That sounds weird and almost like your stop/start system is not right. So when you idle in reverse engine turns off. What happens when you shift to drive or park? Does it restarts or is it a stall and you have to restart the engine manually in park? -
2019-2022 guys, Dirty Engine Bay and Engine?
calgator73 replied to Diamond817's topic in 2019-2023 Silverado & Sierra
I don't know... since I got my driver's license when I was 16 I've washed my engine bay down every single time I've washed a vehicle. It just so happens that some weeks are worse than others. -
I think if I was going to go for the 22s I would probably spring for SuperCruise. There may be a different calibration for the adaptive suspension based on a factory order with 22s versus 20s. I know for a fact on the previous generation there was a different calibration and different shock part numbers with auto ride.

265/60/20 to 275/60/20 why gm did this ?
calgator73 replied to Big_Kahuna's topic in 2019-2023 Silverado & Sierra
Unless they have really changed things up you get a factory choice between an LT275/65/18C MT and a 275/60/20 AT. That's why you have those two choices? I guess the answers come down to style preference and capability desired. Those mud terrains are really good but loud and the all-terrains provide a really good balance and are very quiet. Also the 18s are a 32-in tire and the 20 is a 33-in tire. -
I loved the factory trail runners quiet ride, exceptional wear and great fuel economy. They didn't have the street presence of a dedicated off-road tire so I switched up to the grabber ATX . They wear well.... But they suck for daily driving.

You might need to do a screen capture of that picture to convert it to a JPG file
