The truck has been in the shop 4 times for the exact same issue. A trans sensor keeps going bad? I know i'm not getting charged for it when I go, so they are just replacing the same part. Personally I think it is a short going to one of the sensors, but they just tell me they replaced it. Next time it has to go in I'll have them look at other things. but just to add, hell yea I want a newer truck LOL. I just don't like the unreliability of this one. I have the option of waiting which is why I was asking about the 2022's. This truck has been paid off for a long time. My wife and I only do one car payment at a time, so I was hoping to get one soonish, since she will need another one in a couple of years

thanks everyone. I really wanted a 2022 just for the interior. I am a little excited that the towing numbers increased on the 3.0. Not sure if its just cooling, software I don't know. I will try to hold off as long as I can. What helps is I do work from home, I'm just not able to get chores, landscaping, etc.. done. I think we're gonna just save 1k a month like we are making a payment and just use that as a downpayment. Hopefully I can wait that long, but if not, 2021 tundra here I come

kind of need a truck. My trans is starting to go in limp mode a lot more often. I think there is a short leading to one of the trans sensors and I'm tired of being stranded (about 4 times)

So I'm wanting to get a truck in the next 2-3 months. I was really wanting to wait until the 2022's come out, but everything I'm hearing, its not gonna be until LATE Q1, so April or so, and I can't wait that long. I've narrowed it down to 6.2, 3.0 or Tundra (2021 and under). My concern with the 6.2 GM is the lifters, and the 3.0 the long start. I know they will replace the lifters (the one thats bad) if its after 9k miles (I think thats right). I think I read where it was a bad batch, but has anyone isolated which batch or what plant they came from? Thanks for any help or advice!!

looks great thank you for that!!!!

I really want to look at the standard bed just because well... its longer . I do want to get at most a 4 inch lift and wanted to see if anyone had any pics of their standard bed lifted. Thanks for any help!

thanks! I'm not gonna be racing it, but wasn't sure if a gas truck would need beefing up or tuning. 35's are gonna be the biggest tire size I go to. This would be my first gas truck in about 10 years so I'm kind of new to them

Hey everyone, I'm possibly looking at a 6.2 and was wondering about the trans. and how much HP it can safely handle. I've had 3 duramax's and I knew that when you're getting close to the 450-500 HP range, things will start getting dicey. If I do get the 6.2, I'll probably be adding a whipple to it, or possibly tuning a 3.0. Thanks for any help!

Hey everyone, got a weird issue. I was replacing my NSBU switch in my LLY and got everything bolted up and damn if the plug doesn't connect in the switch. I then tried plugging the plug in to the OLD one and it wouldn't fit either. Its like it won't go all of the way on. I can slide it on to a certain point then it gets to a certain point, then nothing. At that point, I can just slide it off. Any thing I'm missing??? I looked at the plug too, and nothing seems worn or broken off. Thanks for any help!

awesome congrats!!! I am ready to start seeing some leveled/lifted standard bed trucks

thanks looks good!At most I'd go with a 4 inch lift but its hard finding lifted, standard bed pics

looks good! do you have any side view pics?

well crap

I’ve built a 6.2 GMC AT4 Smokey quartz, max tow, upgraded brakes and a standard bed that I think looks awesome. Add a 3-4 inch lift and a little bit bigger tires and that would be badass

Oh yea I’m not touching the 3.0 lol. If I’m going diesel I’m going 6.6, but m stuck between 6.6 and the 6.2 gasser

Seeing this just makes me uncertain about what to get, diesel vs gas. I’ve only had diesel trucks (all tuned and deleted), but I dont tow anything that heavy anymore. With a tuned diesel I can get about 25 mpg highway if not a little more but damn they’re expensive. For the money I’m saving on NOT getting a diesel, I could get a supercharger on the 6.2 and be pretty damn fast. I just wish someone would make a larger aftermarket tank

Awesome congrats!!! Is that the 6.2?? Looks amazing

I wonder how the 3.0 does in comparison to the 6.2?? I think the tow numbers are a little bit lower with the 3.0 but it is a diesel

I think a standard bed, tool box and a 4 inch lift, and 35's (don't know if those would fit, just guessing) would make these amazing looking trucks

I had a 52 gallon titan tank on my other diesel truck and LOVED it. And you're right, I have looked pretty good for aftermarket gas tanks and haven't found any

awesome thanks for this. I'm looking to get another truck (I've got a 2005 LLY Diesel with 225k miles) and was wondering how it would tow. I'm not towing anything real heavy now. I had a 2018 GMC 1500 and sold it after about 7k miles because of the trans. Seemed like it was always hunting and just had huge clunks. Dealer said it was fine, so I got rid of it

ahhhhhh ok gotcha. That made my decision harder LOL

I guess I need to see it up close. From the pics of building one, it seems like its a little more "sandy" or not as brown as yours, but they both look good

^^^^^^^^^^ that color is growing on me. Looks great

Keep the pics coming! I'm got an LLY with 225k miles and don't have much reason to get another diesel, so i'm looking at an AT4 with standard box. Its been hard to find pics of one with a standard box and a small lift
