This is my 2009 Chevrolet Silverado LT with a 5.3. Got it in March 09 and loving it. Recently installed a 3inch suspension lift (not pictured, I'll post some later). I tow my 2005 Angler 204fx.

2009 Silverado LTZ WDE with my Yamaha Rhino - only pic I have of it hooked up to the truck (its now painted white diamond, has HIDs and a nice sound system).

 

I plan on buying a boat for the summer time, will post pics of that later on!

Nothing crazy. Just a aluminum center console and a 12' enclosed with various toys. Also hauls the most important thing...@SS!! Well, not really, its slow :o/ I am also adding some new parts to rid the rear end sag when towing. I can't stand it!!! To be honest, I kinda miss it when it was stock.

I have a 24 ft. enclosed trailer that I haul my 72 Monte Carlo in, also I have an open trailer that I haul my Rhino or go carts in.

Here is a good one.. Used the budget on the truck. Trailer might come this year.

 

Love the truck 5.3 6speed 14mpg at 65-78mph

I tow my 21' Challenger. Boat is 2500lbs "wet" and trailer is 1500 or so. Truck pulls it quite nicely.

 

The boat also runs really well too....

I'm currently towing a 27ft travel trailer, but hoping to get into a fifth wheel soon (hence the truck in my sig).

Truck pictured was my '02 YukonXL. I'll have to make a point to take a new picture this spring.

    • Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/        
    • UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update  
    • GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.  
    • Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.
    • I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
