In the 8.1... What are you guys getting for cold start (summer temps) oil pressure and then up to temp pressures?

I see 75-80 psi start (70 degrees or so) and 65-75 running pressure at most RPMs

What should I expect for an idle (at temp) pressure?

Also, where is the pressure read from on this engine? (where is the sender unit)

TIA

  I hear you, its just not something one would even think of that the new oil in the container isn't filtered to a spec one would expect it to be. As to a passenger vehicle theme and the maintenance requirement to meet to ensure a warranty is honored, these days with claims of life time transmission fluid on some models and the limited amount of oil changes that would bring one to the end of the factory warranty, that sells vehicles for those that like to hear "easy care maintenance free", but the manufacturer certainly knows different as to what that more than likely means for the longevity of some of the components if given that minimum spec maintenance. Then again I imagine there are a fair number of people that really don't care as long the vehicle gets them a certain number of years down the road because they are the type that want the next new thing, new and improved ... more bells and crap etc on the new one on the show room floor. Manufacturers have learned the phycological game to entice the customer out of their money !

  Why soooooo many screens? Shall we just replace the windshield with a large plasma?!?!? Besides that I like the looks. And they added back the additional door cubbies, No SS???

  It's official. Chevy pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Silverado 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/2027-chevrolet-silverado-official-first-look-specs/ The quick hits: LT is dead. The new core trim is just called "Silverado." Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally gets the 10-speed. ZR2 moves to standard 35s with front and rear lockers. Over 60 inches of dash display on ZR2 and High Country, passenger screen included. Seven trims, three lifted from the factory: ZR2, Trail Boss, and a new Custom Trail Boss. So let's get into it: 5.7 and 6.6 instead of holding out for a 6.7. Right call? Killing the LT name after all these years: bold, or a mistake? Does the new look land for you, or is it too safe? No power numbers at reveal. Smart tease, or frustrating? What are you ordering on day one? Drop your first impressions below.
