    That's still a huge drop in mileage. I disabled the AFM in my 2016 Suburban and hardly noticed a change in MPG at all.

    Thanks for posting this info. I have a 2021 RST with the 6.2 that was made during the "bad" timeframe. I have about 2400 miles on it with no problems yet, even been pulling a 5,000# trailer frequently. I'm aware it can happen and have a good dealership to work with if/when it does. I just hope it doesn't happen when I'm halfway across the country pulling my little fishing boat!

    Before I bought my current truck, I test drove a 2020 GMC with the 6.2. The previous owner had the flappers, muffler and resonators removed and some kind of aftermarket muffler installed. The minute I drove out of the dealer's lot, I knew I wouldn't buy the truck. Fairly loud in the cab and lots of drone at highway speeds and the noise it made when DFM kicked in was hideous. Even the salesman was like "yeah, we're gonna have a hard time selling this one."

    I read about that today. That thing is sweet!

    I had the factory power steps on my 2016 Suburban. Constantly dealt with them either not wanting to come down, or go back up. One would be up, one down. Just all kinds of issues. It's not fun when you go to get out of the vehicle, expecting to have a step there and it's not. Never again. I finally got them both down the just pulled the fuse so they'd stay down all the time.

    FYI..Factory power steps are garbage.

    Should have just gotten the good Prodigy controller and moved on.

    I'm loving my 6.2.

    If you're looking for one that won't hurt the tailgate if left in when the gate's lowered, you'll need one made of NERF. Those don't have much of a tow rating, though.

    A product called Fluid Film is very popular with the Jeep crowd for prevent corrosion.

    So you're saying it's GM's fault that you wrecked your truck?
  12. AirForceAngler
    We have 2 Rav4s with ACC and it works great in those. Reading about the GM version makes me kinda glad I don't have it in my Silverado.

    "All of a sudden my seat vibrated , a bell went off, and a message came across the screen saying that the adaptive cruise temporarily unavailable. Immediately , put the foot on the brake and missed ramming into the back of the Semi. " That's not what it sounds like to me. Sounds like panic braking.
  14. AirForceAngler
    Just because you have adaptive cruise doesn't mean you don't have to pay attention to your surroundings and safely operate your vehicle.

    If GM drops a ZR1 or ZL1 motor or some other supercharged hero in a truck, I'd rather it be in a regular cab short bed 2wd! I've got a Jeep for playing in the dirt, I want a stoplight screamer! Make SS mean something again!

    I just experienced a no-start with my 2021 6.2 RST. Got in, foot on the brake, pushed the button and it just cranked and cranked, no start. Tried about 3 times then quit. I removed the battery negative terminal for about 10 seconds, reconnected and it fired up just fine. Only have about 1100 miles on my truck and this doesn't make me too happy. Let's see what happens I guess.

    That is how Wireless Android Auto connects to your phone. Android Auto uses too much bandwidth for bluetooth so it must connect to your phone using wireless. You could try plugging the phone into the USB and disabling Wireless Android Auto in the phone app. Then you could use your truck's wireless for data. Honestly, though, data plans through wireless providers are a lot cheaper than the OnStar data, so I don't know why you'd want to stay with that for Nav and such.

    It's not a rumor. I have a 2021 RST with the 6.2 and it's getting the same mileage, if not better, than my 2016 Suburban and my 2008 Silverado (both with 5.3s). And does just fine on 87.
  19. AirForceAngler
    Sounds and looks great!
  20. AirForceAngler
    No it doesn't. It's recommended, not required. But with the output of the new 2.7 and the 6.2, there's no need for the 5.3.
  21. AirForceAngler
    I'd say, why even offer the 5.3? Especially if the 6.2 gets the same or better mileage?
  22. AirForceAngler
    It's nothing I'd trade my 2021 on but they have some neat features. Any while the ZR2 looks cool, watching the videos of the factory one on the bumps, I don't think it'll compete with the Ford Raptor or Ram TRX for absorbing big whoops at speed. It doesn't appear to have the suspension travel of those two trucks.

    How about you read the entire thread?

    I have read some stories about how some high-tech thieves have a device that, if close enough, can pick up the signal from your fob then mimic that signal to steal some cars. There are probably ways to disable the ignition and/or fuel or cut off total power to everything but then you'd lose your clock settings and other things. Even with all of that, some thieves will even pull up in a repo-style truck, lift it and go. Bottom line, if they want it bad enough, they'll get it.

    I've only put about 600 miles on my 2021 RST Z71 but am impressed so far! Great power and getting around 21 mpg on the highway.
