I delivered rural in my 12 Sierra 4X4. Very comfortable ride. Had it only about 1 month. Runs like a chanp!

Had to go to the local airport. Went through town to get there & the highway to get home. It was a good stretch of miles. It's probably mental but I swear the truck is riding (drive line) so much better with the new transfer case. Not nearly as much clunking & clanging from below.

 

On and thanks SnakeEyes, I need to clean my K&N as well. Been at least one truck ago...lol

I gave up on K&N filters wear out after a while. P.i.t.a. getting air flow codes when pulling. Causes truck to go into reduced power mode.

That usually only happens when they are over oiled from what I understand. And you can use CRC MAF sensor cleaner. I use it a few weeks after a filter cleaning just in case. Had a K&N on every vehicle I have owned and never had a problem.

I've never had one on my pickup, but have seen plenty in action, it seems the eventually the filter material gets "matted". My pickup spends enough time on dirt that I'd never consider one. I'm very happy with the oil free synthetic filter.

Well when it's get changed out with another filter fault goes away. Put that filter in another truck that truck gets fault. It the filter. They only last so long.

I stopped running those because I got tired of the cleaning/oiling procedure. The one I had in the truck was fine. Later in it's life I put one of those prefilter socks over it. Eventually sold it on eBay with about 40k on it, and replaced it with an Amsoil air filter. They're being phased out, so I bought a stockpile of 4 - that should last me until some catastrophic failure, I figure.

 

I noticed that K&N's let a bit of grit past them - I always see it in the intake of ATV's, motorcycles, and also in my truck. That extra horsepower from a freer flowing filter has a trade-off ...

Yep. Did a K&N once before I knew better. No more. I'll stick with OE style filters.

Right before you turn over take a pic of the odometer and tweet at GM. Maybe you'll get a free truck out of it. A 60k truck to replace a million miler is cheap viral advertisement.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
