I'll add my truck to the trade in pile too... 2020 RST Z71 with 3.0 diesel 25k on the odometer. Paid 45k for it last year in March. Took it to the dealer on Monday and got 54k for it. Traded it in on a 2021 RST Z71 with 3.0 diesel, but this truck had leather and sliding rear window (and in the color I originally wanted). Got dealer to give me GM Supplier discount and 3k GM incentive. I'm sure I could have ended up grinding them down a little more, but who cares... at the end of the day my payoff was 31k and I financed 29k. A new truck and a "gain" of 2k. Timing is key here as they had just taken delivery of the truck I bought. What a crazy world!

I've only ever used the Walmart brand with no issues.

I posted this in the general forum before I knew there was a special diesel club! I've been trying to research grill guards (and a bump bar if pushed to that). Most of the ones I found say they are not for the 3.0 diesel. I can't quite figure that out unless it has to do with the block heater connector by the driver's side tow hook. I'd like to hear from anyone that got one installed and which one it was. Thanks!

I think the manual (not diesel supplement) has the procedures, but from memory it's probably something like no speeds over 55mph, don't drive at a constant speed, no towing for first 500 miles. To be honest, I've been a bit of a skeptic on engine break in for modern cars; I've had cars up over 100k mileage that I drove like a beast from day 1 and cars that had so many problems in the first 1000 miles while driving it like a baby (I'm looking at you Ford!).
