I tell you what I never considered it, but if you can tune it to add another 25 hp, put it in a trail boss, and I would have to think long and hard. Now I don't want to give this loaner up at 23 mpg and get my trail boss back at 17 mpg. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

With the windows down at low speeds you don't hear the motor much just the whistle from turbo which sounds good to me Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

22 overall which included lots of hills and some stop at go to the home improvement store. On flat ground with cruise on 67 mph ithe real time gauge was avg between 26 and 30 mpg Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

I actually found myself speeding several times today because the engine is so smooth and quiet over 50 you don't realize how fast you are going. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

I could not sense any deactivation at all. Just did 150 miles today. Smooth as silk. At highway speeds you don't even hear the motor Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Also remember the 2.7 is I think about 400 lbs lighter than my z71 with the 5.3 so you get more payload capacity and less weight to pull when you're towing a camper Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

It was probably to help the window caulk dry Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Right now that is the least of my worries. I did ask if there was a transmission shift update for the 1-2 clunk on LIGHT acceleration I was feeling. Probably why it was test driven hard and put away wet. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

If the tech drives fast enough the water can't get in right? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

I don't see how it could as the glass door overlaps the top edge of the tailgate. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Look up bulletin #16-NA-361 harsh 1-2 shift upon first startup shift under light throttle. GM says it normal on the 8 speed. It has something to do with the initial clutch fill time of the C4 clutch. No fix for it. Gm says it's normal. I have driven more than one 2019 8 speed and they all do it. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Part of me wants to do this in two stages. Fix leak, wait a few weeks to make sure leak is fixed, then replace stuff. I also will be putting a leer camper cap on my truck so that will be a pain if the fix doesn't work and I have to take cap off truck in a few weeks Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

What about your headliner and seats? Did you notice water stains or mildew on the floor carpet? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

I brought a co-worker out for lunch and punched it a few times. Depending on the speed/ gear you are in it could feel very responsive or like you were waiting forever for something to happen. Chances are if you bought a 4 cylinder you will not be the type to ever do WOT anyway. I did notice once you wind it up near peak rpm then take your foot off the gas, that turbo really keeps going. Had to slam on the brakes not to run into traffic at the end of the expressway on ramp. The engine sounds very similar to the 4cyl in the gmc terrain I used to have. A couple times I could hear the whistle of the turbo, sounds cool to me. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

It sounds like they already sealed mine but waiting to hear back on the inside as I told them I'm not taking back a 1 day old truck that has been leaking for 6 months without the headliner, seats and carpet being replaced. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

The bigger question here, is that bead of caulk going to last 10... 15 years? What happens when it starts leaking again in 2023? All because GM put a band-aid on something to save some money? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

You might be able to take a razor blade and gently run it along the top edge of the glass to scrape the excess caulk off. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Those are the gm 6 inch black rectangular oem running boards. So much better then the 4 inch tubular gm boards on my last truck. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Do everyone a favor and go to NHTSA and report it as a safety issue. Once they get a bunch of complaints that is how recalls get started. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

It's in the shop right now for the rear window leaking. I mentioned the steering to check for bulletins. See what they say. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

I have a 2.7 Turbo 4 LT double cab 4x4 with the 3.42 rear end as a loaner for a few days. I have to say if you don't tow anything heavy, and MPGs are your goal, this might be the motor for you. Does it sound terrible? Yes. Does that really matter? Probably not. It has plenty of power mid range but really takes some time to wind up the turbo for a 60 mph highway pass. The payload on this truck is almost 500 lbs more than my trail boss with the 5.3 v8. In 3 days of mixed driving with some highway, some back country roads, and some stop and go traffic in the city, I am averaging 23.5 mpg. Also take into account it has only been in the 20s or 30s every morning so I bet in the middle of the summer I would get an honest 24.5 to 25 mpg. Maybe more if you babied it, and once this truck is broken in (only 200 miles on it) I did not go over 65 at all on freeway (rush hour traffic), and I am trusting the DIC that it is within 5 % so won't bother with hand calc. For comparison my last two tanks on my 5.3 were in the low 17 range. Same type of driving. If I was using my truck strictly for work or as a fleet vehicle the 2.7 is the way to go (assuming no long term problems show up). Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

This great thanks. I want to have it in hand when the service advisor calls so I can see if they followed the correct procedure. Usually I can get the tsbs off NHTSA, but since this isn't a safety issue I guess it won't show up there. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

So does anyone else feel like when they turn the wheel most of the way at slower speeds that the steering wheel return to center is weak/slow and needs help from the driver? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

When I search online the tsb says it's updated 3/22/2019. Does anyone have a copy of the update 18-NA-383? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
