    Is that hand calculated mileage or according to the truck computer?

    My neighbor picked up his 2024 denali ultimate 3500 srw about 6 weeks ago. It is beautiful. As an FYI, one of the 2 batteries leaked and somehow put a hole into the charge air pipe. All was repaired by the dealer. Additionally last week he asked me to look at his factory dealer installed bed/tailgate speakers (didnt realize that was a thing) he said they were not working. He found a blown fuse and some questionable wiring, he has another dealer appointment this week to fix them.

    If you do have to make time, my girlfriend and I frequently tag-team drive if we have a schedule to keep. Her farm-girl driving skills towing a trailer equals my own. She sleeps, i drive, switch as needed.

    Pump? Level indicator? Fuse?

    I also agree with "get the most capacity you can" Pay attention to single or dual rear wheel load capacity with the gas motor, if i am reading this chart from GM correctly, the 4x4 crew cab long bed single rear wheel has a higher capacity than the same config with the dual rear wheel specified. 18,250 single rear wheel, 17,900 dual rear wheel.

    Cracked exhaust manifold and/or loose or broken exhaust studs sound similar and the noise is inconsistent as the exhaust heats and cools.

    If you could configure the LT With the ventillated seats I could see folks passing up the higher trims. A cooled taint is a requirement for me, none of the other options above LT are.

    You will likely get better action to your post on the light-duty forum. This is the HD forum and none of the HD trucks have the 5.3 motor. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/forum/236-2019-2023-silverado-sierra/

    Check the orange wire in the steering column. https://www.plowsite.com/threads/broken-orange-wire-near-ignition-goes-up-gear-selector-lever.87409/

    Parking like that may void your warranty.

    Check the tire inflation pressure.

    There is a small diameter orange wire that runs out of the turn signal/cruise control stalk and down the column they break near where the column tilts, repair the wire and the tow/haul will work again. It is a pain to work with the tiny wire, and it may be enclosed in a small black wire loom.

    No warranty on a 2021?

    Do not trust the computer to give you an precise accounting of your mileage. Hand calculation is the only way to precisely know your mileage. The computer can vary wildly. The diesel high country on my last trip of 3957 miles the computer showed 15 mpg, trip average, but the actual mileage was 13

    Had the same issue on my 2001 8.1 The current version of the power steering pump has a new lowspeed bypass valve design that gives you more boost at slow or no speed. Make sure you get the latest factory gm pump. Backing my boat up the driveway was a real chore, now its much better.

    Did you use OEM spark plugs? Is the 02 sensor the original one? If you used OEM parts and the 02 sensor is new, re-check the previous work the make sure that is not the problem. My 8.1 was doing something similar and new OEM plugs and a new 02 sensor fixed it.

    Again, i do not believe that is true. The 6.0 did not get significantly better mileage than the 8.1, nor did it have more torque.
  19. vucelick
    I dont believe this was the case. The big block got the same mileage with a 4l80e, 4 speed behind it, which is what the 8.1 suburbans came equiped with. My 01 2500HD has the 8.1/allison combo and now has 180k-ish miles on it and gets 10-12. I believe the motor was rated 345 horsepower. The new 6.6 small block is 410 horse, i cant see it having any problem with the 10/1000 allison
  20. vucelick
    I believe the differences are much smaller than you believe, the bolt pattern on the back of the engines is the same, the bellhousing internal dimensions are the same. The allison converter probably holds more fluid than the 6L90 and perhaps the lockup clutches weigh more, but the weight difference would be trivial.
  21. vucelick
    I am not sure what you mean by "2-3 times the size of a 6L90 converter" are you referring to the torque converter fluid capacity, or its dimensions?. The older allison 1000 and the new 10L1000 have the same "size" converter, both diameter and fluid capacity. I can easily see them offering it with the gas motor.
  22. vucelick
    The allison 1000 was used behind the 8.1l big block gas motor and the diesel. The new 6.6 is similar in power to the older big block, i believe the 10/1000 is more than appropriate for the 6.6's power.
  23. vucelick
    The 10 speed in the 1/2 ton is a completely different and light duty transmission compared to the heavy duty 10 speed in the diesel 3/4 and 1 ton trucks.
  24. vucelick
    If they ever offer the same 10 speed as in the diesels with the 6.6 gas, properly calibrated to the engines power curve, I think it will be a very good alternative to diesel.

    Dad had the same issue, dealer replaced the pads twice, the squeal always came back at low speeds. Finally got frustrated, and even though still under warranty installed the wagner posi quiet (might have been centric thermo quiet pads) Problem solved, I know it sucks, but the noise was driving dad crazy.
