Well I got my 2012 silverado LTZ/Z71, with a 6.2 on Feb. 28. I am very pleased so far. Just noticed that the rear axle is a 14 bolt instead of the 12 bolt that was in my 2011. Also the rear axle is actually painted or coated with black. My 2011 has no paint and was rust colored from the day I bought it. I have noticed that the under carriage is also done much better than my 2011. When I get it cleaned up I will take so photos.

Um I have a 2012 and I'll take pics of whatever you want. Is there something specific you wanted to see or just pics of his truck in general?

Hey Guys chill out :driving: I have a couple pitcures on my gallery of my 2011 and the 2012. I work 15 hrs a day and it has been raining here, but I can assure you that when I get a chance I will definitly post some photos. I took the truck this morning to have the front windows tinted to match the others. Guy took less than a half an hour and charged $60 for both. He has done all my trucks to date. I am averageing 10.5 mpg with less than 60 miles on the truck. I live in the suburbs of Pittsburgh so the roads are hilly and lots of stop signs and red lights. I will hope to get a chance tomorrow to get it on a less obstructive road. Going today to the dealer to pick up my bedliner and the overhead homelink console that they owe me. :cold:

Your mileage will improve. Also if you've got 87 octane in the tank, thats hurting your mileage some. I'd recommend at least 89 :thumbs:

Oh I am sure there is 87 in the tank as the dealer filled it. I am pleased with my purchase as I will say that it was you guys who sorta got me to trade in the 5.7 for the 6.2. How do you post a large picture like stevens 11 on this forum. I am not the best computer person. I am going to install my bed liner and tailgate pad today.

    • I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.
    • I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments
    • Looks like the entire state is burning. 😬
    • Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
