Not to steal your post, but I've ben waiting for my new truck patiently, and I thought I'd take a drive down to the dealer today (one hour away) and pulled around behind their shop and guess what was there!

Congrats we need pics. All you guys buying newer trucks makes me want to get a new one. But I'm happy with my 2007 V-Max for now.

Mods will be black bear tuned

corsa exhaust

toneau cover (hard) any recommendations?

and possibly a open K&N filter

 

Wanted a Linex but it has a GM liner in it already, so I'll probably just stick with it to save dough. I won't own the truck when it rots out :)

 

Did NOT want to part with my 05 pro sport but with the castech doo doo I didn't feel like dropping 4K into it with that and evap, abs sensors, steering was groaning etc etc..it needed some work. Like a years worth of payments. Plus it was an ext cab and with a kid I needed something a bit bigger

I like everything about that truck except the rims, they look like cheap plastic covers that one would pick up from Autozone or Checker. Congrats though on the purchase

check out the line-x tonneou cover looks great and many good reviews

personally i would go with an airaid jr kit over the k&n http://airaid.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=201-796

i have the k&n but only because airaid didnt have a kit for the 09+ when i got my k&n

i also have a blackbear tune i like it and it does make an improvement but im questioning if its worth the money... when i eventually get a supercharger it will be for sure but only paired with an intake and exhaust.... im not sure..

I added an Extang Solid Fold tonneau and am happy with it so far. It kept just about all the water out of the bed when I took it through a carwash Friday (water made it in from the bottom and sides of the tailgate area) and it removes easily if I need the whole bed for something tall.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, the key seems to be with the half tons that if it has the Z71, then it definitely has the two speed. What got me was that the two speed AND the lower geared towing package option could not be chosen together the last few years unless it was mated up to the 6.2. Want the 3.0 duramax and 3.73 tow gears ... nope, can't get the two speed transfer case ( neighbor son realized that after he had bought his used 3.0 half ton .. where the frick is the low range ? ! ).    I am still unsure which truck series, the half ton or the HD truck that the original poster is referring to for sure other than yes his question is in the HD section of this forum but that doesn't guarantee the question got asked in the right section.
