From what I've seen these 6L80E transmissions are quite proven. My dad's truck has 174k on his with no sign of letting up! That and this truck is also not gonna be rolling big tires and steep gears which I'm sure didn't help lol

Actually I'll probably get weathertech mats and an under seat organizer. Level kit is possible but not for certain. Intake and a nice exhaust will be in the future and quite possibly a BB tune. That's pretty much stock, right!? [emoji23]

 

EDIT: clearly I don't have an auxiliary trans cooler cause Temps were around 195 in 50 degree weather. That is the first investment I am making, and probably in the next week!

That has been beat to death. Thkse trucks contain a thermostat. It wants to keep the fluid at that temp

Really? My dad's 09 with the same tranny keeps the temp about 90-100 above ambient. Must be something new with the K2 trucks

Yes. They have a built in thermostat. If the fluid isnt warm enough it bypasses the cooler

I was under the impression that the HC came standard with the 6.2. Congrats on the new rig.

I wish haha but the new DI 5.3 pulls pretty good. Transmission is still in the learning phase because it's sluggish unless you really get on it from a dead stop

Well my "road" finally dried up, but I still haven't washed my truck so I get to look at the dirtcicles that are hanging from everywhere. I kicked my side steps a couple of time and about 10lbs worth of mud/sand blocks dropped from each of them. Really need to get my pressure washer going again and really get that undercarriage blasted clean again.

      Differential covers

      By RJL1 · Posted

      I just brought home a 2020 GMC 1500 Denali.  She has 53K miles on her and I want to change out the fluids over the next few weeks.  I see the diff covers don't have drain plugs.  Any suggestions where I can pick up front and rear diff covers with drain plugs?   Thanks,   Bob

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      Well, the dealership got the compressor and installed it. Air at the vents seems nice and cold as it should be. The service manager said the repair has a two year warranty and unlimited mileage. Hopefully I don't have to use it. The dealership i went to was one where I bought my 2014 half ton silverado. In 10 years and 168k miles on the truck anything I needed done and two small recalls they were always very good to me. Not a huge dealer either. I think they treat people well because they want you to come back. I have dealt with a different dealer that was too big to care about an individual. Just my two cents.

      Multigate Connector Difficult to Connect Fully

      By Another JR · Posted

      Hi All, I operate my 2021 3500 SLT most of the time with the tailgate off and in a crate because I have a slide-in camper. However, at least once a year, I take the camper off and put the tailgate back on. Recently I installed the tailgate, but had a hard time getting the connector bail to swing to the fully latched position. The connector seems to fully seat, and everything works, but the bail doesn’t swing to fully latched position.  It swings almost there but stops and I am afraid to push it any harder.    Does anyone have any advice on cleaning or lubrication or anything else I should be doing?  i know how to properly operate the connector. During the time the tailgate and connector are off, i have a double plastic bag over the truck connector secured with rubber bands to keep it clean, but it still had some dust in it this time when I blew it out with compressed air. I didn’t want to spray it with anything other than air without doing some research. Thanks.

      There are a lot of spammer's that do that, quote something and add some commentary to make it seem legit, but modify the quoted text a bunch making sure when posted it's long enough to be "click to expand", and either immediately insert a spam link, or come back after some time and edit it to add the spam link.

      Hello @jaszr2 Do you have a link for the item? I put a replacement bumper on my truck and consequently had to relocate the shutters. I studied on them a while, and figured if you left a couple key blades, you could get most of the airflow with probably no throwing codes.
