  1. HDs and one or two other vehicles are still on R134a. Most everything else is R1234yf.
  2. Just edited my response with a performance chart I found.
  3. Seen this gen truck with bad compressors. Also bad blend door linkages which requires replacing the entire HVAC box, but those ones are for getting two different temps driver vs. passenger side (cold on one, hot the other). EDIT: Performance chart with MAXIMUM outlet temperatures. So depending on ambient temp and relative humidity, you should see temps no higher than the column on the far right out of the vents. So @Aimatdeer if there are no leaks, the charge of refrigerant is correct, and everything is operational (compressor, temp doors, clutch fan), it might be on the high end of normal per this chart.
  4. ? What exactly is your question?
  5. That site even proves there st He proves his stupidity even further here - 2026 Chevy Silverado Owner Scans VIN and Finds A ‘Holy Grail’ Discovery; He Says, “GM Officially Deleted DFM Because They Knew The Lifter Issues Were Killing The Brand” The VIN in that article 1GCUKGED7TZ191335. The 8th digit is literally a "D". 1GCUKGED7TZ191335 1st - 1 2nd - G 3rd - C 4th - U 5th - K 5th - G 7th - E 8th - D D is for the L84 5.3 with DFM. The build sheet of his "smoking gun" VIN shows L84 5.3 with DFM. What a r'tard that person is. He even sites an AI SLOP video on YouTube as a source.
  6. That article is complete BS. Get the 5.3 over the 6.2. Or, wait for the new trucks.
  7. Sierra HD Pro: - If you want a power driver's seat on the Pro, you can't get it. You have to go to SLE. - Factory remote start? Can't get it on any of the Sierra Pro trim (1500 or HD). You have to go SLE. - 7 inch radio has limitations for replacement if you wanted to upgrade the screen, etc. - Steering wheel radio controls? Nope. Can you add them? Yes. NOT CHEAP. Requires a new instrument cluster, steering wheel and wiring harness mod kit. - Fog lights? Nope. And no factory path to install them. Sierra HD SLE: - IMO, the larger radio screen is a much better interface. - Fog lights? You can get them. Steering wheel controls? Has them. Remote start? Yep. Power driver seat? Available. Silverado WT: - Same as the Pro above however you CAN get factory remote start installed at the dealer for the WT Chevy. Silverado Custom: - Comes with 20" wheels only. Can you swap later? Sure. But. Truck is calibrated for the stock 20s (34" tire) and no path to properly recalibrate. - Power seat? Yes. - Steering wheel controls? Same as the Pro above. No but can be done and not cheap. Silverado LT: - Same as the SLE. You can get or it comes with many features you can't do on the lower trims. I'd say its all going to come down to what you NEED and what you WANT to have that you'd benefit from. For me, things like power seat is a must (I hate the WT/Pro seating position), so I'd have to go Custom, LT or SLE right out of the gate. Steering wheel controls? Should be standard in 2026 across the board IMO, so again, puts me to LT or SLE.
  8. Modifications are required. 2020-2023 the wheel well sheet metal does not have all of the fastener openings stamped for liners that the 2024-2026 dually wells have. The liners are the right shape and everything, and the wheel well sheet metal is the same shape, its just the older trucks don't have all of the mounting points. Here's a link to a Facebook post about doing this - https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Nqow8VNKE/
  9. Why wait? 2027 Yukon will be the same as a 2026 Yukon.
  10. No engine digit "E" for 2019-2026. Stop reading slop online All 2026 V8s have functioning DFM. Hardware and software. 5.3 and 6.2. The L84 5.3 has "D" as the 8th digit of the VIN, the L87 6.2 has "L" as the 8th digit of the VIN. If you want a factory DFM disabled 2019-2026, you'd have to find a used 2021 or 2022 chip shortage truck. The vehicle build data will have a specific RPO code indicating its a factory disabled truck. RPO code YK9 and only with the L84 5.3 engine. These still have the hardware installed but are NOT functioning due to the COVID chip shortages that were ongoing.
  11. Sure...but there is no "update" to be had. GM has not issued any support for this.
  12. No. Why would it "go away"? There is a button to disable it though still. On the driver's side of the dash now.
  13. "I see around town" That's a small dot in the total picture. They are popular in YOUR town. They aren't popular where it counts. Sales data.
  14. It is not supported on the trucks. Period.
  15. The one you posted is correct. Just the 4 bolts are one time use. The other two don't need to be replaced.
  16. No. If they were rammed in with an impact, they are stretched and need to be replaced. Hence one time use torque to yield fasteners.
  17. In case you don't read these until later today... PPE makes me "think" that you have a 3.0 Duramax. Which you'd want quantity 4 of the 85628208 seal and NOT the 85628205. IF you have a gas truck 10 speed, you need one of the 85628205.
  18. 4 vertical bolts. They are one time use torque to yield fasteners and should not be re-used. Yes, they should be torqued to the proper spec.
  19. Is this supposed to be in English? "close to 100 fake, new brake pads sign on the dash board" Pull the wheels off. Check the brake pad thickness. Check the sensors out. You could have good pads and the sensors aren't in to the worn out position, but have an electrical fault with the sensor or the plug wiring to the sensor.
  20. Gas or diesel??????????? You did not indicate. Your topic just says "2022 10L80".
  21. That is a huge misconception. Bigger does not always equal safer. Modifying does not make it safer either, with exceptions. Think of this. Your truck in stock form is capable of emergency maneuvers, proper stopping distances, its handling is designed around the factory wheel/tire packages, etc. 37s and a lift? Now you've affected your braking distances, handling and ride control. You've raised your center of gravity higher. Your front visibility is now obstructed more than stock, same for your rear. Does it look cooler? Yes. Does it now work as good as it did from factory on road? NO. As for my mention of exceptions? Say you had a sedan or crossover. They typically come with all season tires. If you swap out for a performance all season or a summer tire, you improve your car by lowering its stopping distance (better braking because of traction) and improve the handling (regular and emergency) of the vehicle. That is an actually improving modification. My old 2019 LD 1500, I ran UHP all season tires on 20in wheels in a factory offered size. It improved all aspects of how it drove over the Duratracs it came with from the factory in the stock 18" tire.
  22. Is it though? Like LTZ, not a high take rate. Current Sierra has AT4, Denali and Elevation as its main bread winners. Each trim accounting for 25-35% of sales for Sierra. SLT makes up about 10-15% at best. Like others have predicted here for GMC, it will be: - Pro (equal to WT Chevy) - Elevation (replaces SLE and SLT) - AT4 (and X) - Denali (and Ultimate).
  23. There are knowns and unknowns. Knowns: - LT, RST and LTZ names/trims are gone. The new "Silverado" trim level replaces all 3 of those. You should be able to configure the Silverado trim to match the equipment levels of those three trims. Unknowns: - Custom. No mention of what engines it will have access to. Dual exhaust being standard does seem to confirm a V8 option for the Custom trim though. My "guess" is that Custom will have access to the Turbomax and the 5.7. I could be wrong though. The current Custom trim went 2.7 Turbomax only the last 4-5 years, and only had a single side exit exhaust. - 40-20-40. I would imagine that is NOT going away. They only focused on showing the new interior on the top trims, Trail Boss, ZR2 and High Country, hence the images shown are just bucket seats up front. The info should start coming fairly quickly over the next weeks and months. Production is supposed to start up later this year, so when the order guide launches, you'll be able to see the configurations of engines, cabs, seating, etc.
  24. Boy do they have some margins in that to come down $5000!!!!! Does it change my thoughts? Not really. That's only one thing addressed. The transmission. Still needs an oil pump belt if that hasn't been done yet either, which per the Carfax, looks like no. I still don't like the long service intervals on the oil and the fuel filters. And then still, timing chain because 2020.
