    Which VIN has a branded title? The original one posted does not match the pic of the VIN from the door jam.

    Here is the window sticker from the VIN in the pic. windowsticker.pdf

    The VIN you posted and the one in the pic are not the same. Look at the last 3 digits.

    Something is not right with that VIN. If you try and run it on the NHTSA recall site it says it's an invalid VIN.

    You can try this. If you tell them you want the build sheet and it's a car/truck/suv you just bought they may just send it to you. To request vehicle documentation please email [email protected], call 1-734-261-5086, or complete the Archive Request Form. Here is the web site this came from. If you scroll down you will see it. https://www.gm.com/heritage/archive?page=1

    The 10 speed doesn't have a dipstick.

    In order for you to use a Cat oil filter on the 6.6l you needed a conversion kit (I had one on my 2017 L5P) and I doubt anyone makes one for the 3.0l. I also think the filter would hang down to far since the factory filter is a short one and if they do it would need to be a remote filter.

    idling a modern diesel is a bad idea (builds soot really fast). If you drive the 3.0l around town it will regen more often but the 3.0l is less sensitive to non-highway/light load than the 6.6l is. A normal regen takes about 10 min on the highway. If you drive at highway speeds or loaded it will likely regen based on mileage or time and not soot level. One of 3 things will trigger a normal regen on a GM. Time, miles since last regen or soot level. Just an FYI but the GM diesels will stop a normal regen when the engine is idled in park and restart when in drive and moving again.

    If have any kind of warranty and you do your own oil changes make sure you keep receipts for the oil and filter. If you need warranty work and don't have them some dealers will void your warranty.

    I have the Falken tires on my 2008 Avalanche and they are quiet and do great in the snow and on ice. They seem to be fine on dry and wet roads also. The Avalanche is our spare/2nd vehicle and used more in the winter than in the summer. Our other vehicle is a 23 Tahoe that has all season tires and is good when warm but not good in winter with more than a couple of inches of snow. I agree with others that you want narrow tires in snow.

    I think it must be a 23 since the 1500 ZR2/ATX didn't come out until 2022 model year.

    Same type of issue with our Tahoe. App works but fails to pull current data from vehicle. Remote commands do work. If you do a search you will find it's pretty common for the GM apps to have issues.

    Where do you live? I have bought Mobil 1 Dexos D oil at the Auto Zones where I live and at times the local Walmart has had it.

    Our Tahoe is part of that recall. I read it to mean you won't get a warning light until it's too late if you have a fluid leak. It's just a software update so no reason not to get it done. I'm sure the recall is to prevent lawsuits and satisfy some gov official. My first car had point ignition and the brake light was for the parking brake.... lol

    FYI.. the 10 speed in the 1500 is not the same or related an any way to the 10 speed in the 2500/3500 trucks. The 10 speed in the 1500 and some cars was jointly developed by GM and Ford. The 10 speed in the 2500/3500 (gas and diesel as of 2024) was jointly developed by Allison and GM for the 2500 and bigger trucks (only with the diesel at first).

    I agree. 2018 with 5.3l plenty on Rock Auto including ACDelco.
  20. Jay P
    How many miles were on the truck when you got it? Lots of short trip test drives could cause the DPF to need a regen with low miles.
  21. Jay P
    I agree with Cam. Are you looking at a diesel? The 3.0l diesel is far more forgiving than the 6.6l diesel is for driving empty for issues with the emissions systems. The one big advantage of the 2500/3500 trucks is they are designed to operate at or near max load all the time and 1500s are not. If you were towing above 8000 or 9000 lbs then a 2500 would be a better choice, the brakes are much better on the 2500/3500 for stopping a load if the trailer brakes fail.

    If you want/need the max towing package buy something that already has it. While you can add the parts, you can't legally tow more than the vehicle was able to when it left the factory. The only time this is likely to come into play is if you were over the max designed capacity of the vehicle but under what it would be with max towing package and had an accident.

    Have you tried updating the google apps? I had this in our 23 Tahoe until I updated to the newest Google maps update.

    The bottom end of the truck 6.2l is the same as corvette 6.2 and some of them recommend 0W-40 so 5W-30 should be fine. I would if it were mine (actually did in my 19 Denali 6.2l). I would in a 5.3l also. The 0W-20 is used for meeting CAFE/emissions standards.

    Does it charge wireless in another vehicle or at home? How discharged was the battery when you tried? Most new phones use optimized charging so they may not charge past 80% to increase battery life. While I don't have a Samsung phone, our 23 Tahoe will charge both my iPhone and the wife's iPhone just fine as long as they are discharged below 75%.
