  1. No it changed on the '22 refresh.
  2. Refresh also has more standard safety features along with projector headlights.
  3. 2022 had 2 models. The LTD which was the same as the '19-'21 and the '22 refresh. Refresh had a new interior, other standard features and different front end.
  4. I can say is he doesn't stay in an office all day. He's out making rounds in the shop and if there were any failures with DFM deactivated, he'd know. Like I said, anything can happen with any. Most failures were between '19-'21 and even pre T1's. I surmise there's a greater chance of lifter failure with DFM than without. AFM/DFM is junk and GM knows it. Decimal percent when you do the math and it comes out to be in the millions of trucks that have engine failure due to AFM/DFM. Junk technology driven by government demands. Trump on one issue when it came to this topic and he saw the writing on the wall and new that it would do harm more than good and decided to roll back the” ever changing” emissions standards that most auto and even rail manufacturers could not keep up with. If Biden had any common sense, he would have left it alone and there would be plenty of new vehicles in the parking lots of dealerships. I'm getting better mileage on my refresh without DFM than my '19 with it. Yes, believe it or not.
  5. 2022 LTD or refresh? The 2019-2022 LTD has had issues. Haven't heard any issues on the refresh.
  6. Anything can happen sure. I've read tons of posts on many groups and forums and haven't heard of a lifter failure with DFM deactivated. My good friend is the the service Mgr. and he hasn't seen any DFM delete engines come in with a failure yet. Just saying...
  7. Correct, but I think the lifter problem comes from DFM activations. I've kept up with other lifter threads and haven't heard of any failures from one that has DFM deactivated; yet that is.
  8. DFM is the contributing factor to lifter failures. Check if the 5.3 has DFM. I ordered My 2022 in Dec. of 2021, got it in March of 2022 and it didn't have DFM. Doesn't sound like a helicopter with performance exhaust.
  9. Tried Edge again and it worked thanks. It must not like Chrome.
  10. I did that and a few other ways. Says error failed to load PDF document. Tried on 2 different browsers Chrome and Microsoft edge.
  11. Can't get the link to work. Tried different ways.
  12. Man when you start doing high lifts like that and start messing with the suspension geometry and pinion angles all kinda ****** starts happening with screwy noises and vibration. It may be hard to pinpoint it.
  13. I'd somewhat disagree with that. Black has run its course. Many are taking black wheels off and going chrome. I see it often. I don't think black is classy. Looks too "rattle can" and commercial looking. To each his own though. Just my opinion. It's all according to what one likes .
  14. I wouldn't go white... I went with chrome 22's and a 2" rear drop.
  15. I like chrome wheels. My 22" chrome Trail Boss replica wheels with Firestone Destination A/T2's.
  16. My '22 refresh LTZ Z71 has normal, sport and off road mode.
  17. I find the Firestone Destination A/T2 very smooth, quiet and balanced out perfect. They ride better that my highway tires. Great reviews. Firestone is using different silica's in their compound. https://www.firestonetire.com/tire/destination-at2/275-65R18/?ef_id=Cj0KCQjwteOaBhDuARIsADBqReguOO-uuJMmmEzSxpvgOQpDCsRQzAkqqIKH9Pxb6oXFwdROh_IWbNAaAqIqEALw_wcB:G:s&s_kwcid=AL!5372!3!618412553989!p!!g!!firestone destination a t2&lw_cmp=sem_fst-us_g_pi_product_destination&keyword=firestone destination a t2&campaign=10060093391&adgroup=139962281705&gclid=Cj0KCQjwteOaBhDuARIsADBqReguOO-uuJMmmEzSxpvgOQpDCsRQzAkqqIKH9Pxb6oXFwdROh_IWbNAaAqIqEALw_wcB#section-performance
  18. Mine updated. What version do you have?
  19. Specs, performance. Didn't want a 200 hz tweeter. Those frequencies are coming from the door speakers. DB (sensitivity) is much lower. The higher db the louder. $100 more and won't sound better. I don't know if these will mount up in the dash holes correctly. These Unity 8.0 are mid/tweeter drivers really designed for home/car cabinets and boxes.
  20. The hole you see is the unaltered factory hole with the tweeter in it. There's no room for another tweeter there as this tweeter fills in the dash mesh. With the CDT tweeters there's no need for another tweeter because of such a wide and high range frequency response. The sound reflects off the windshield and high db sensitivity makes them plenty lout enough.
  21. That's weird. The 7 speaker UQA Bose is standard on the LTZ and there isn't a 3rd dash speaker. I ordered mine in Dec. and the build date was March. Wonder if they stopped putting them in? When was yours built? Like Sclemmer said, mine hits pretty hard as well. IDK.
  22. Yes sorry meant 6.5" not 6.75. I used metal back strap to mount my tweeters. https://www.ebay.com/itm/161129065395
  23. Man I have plenty bass. I'd say it's the center console because when my doors are open I still get good bass in the cab. If you have the UQA Bose then it's 7 speaker otherwise it's 6 speakers. 2 dash, 2 front and 2 rear doors. The 7th is the subwoofer. What sub model truck do you have?
  24. My refresh Z71 LTZ has the 7 speaker Bose (sub being 7th speaker). It's code UQA Bose 7 speaker premium sound which is standard on the LTZ. This 7 speaker system is available with the RST and LT Trail Boss ONLY with convivence package II. I have good bass from the center sub.
  25. See my post on what I did to my Bose system. The tweeters I used don't need or use crossovers and have an exceptional frequency response.
