Trucks are not made for racing. They are made for work :)

I want the power and the efficiency. The 5.3 in my '11 is dine as long as you don't hook up a trailer that's very heavy. Then its a gutless turd. I can accept that, but I think I'll go 6.2 next time. Don't won't/need a diesel.

Hauled a few loads of pavers, some appliances, mulch, potting soil, etc. I wouldn't consider that to be work, but it's as close as my current truck will get.

 

This one was meant for work

This one isn't

Elevation has to be killing it. That truck is a dog off the line compared to other videos I r seen. And it looks like the same one they did the Eisenhower pass test with so it is 3.08s.

I thought as far as traction control you could completely turn it off, but stability control, if turned off turns its self back on after 30mph.

 

 

That's what the manual says for the new trucks.

That's crazy that you can't turn it off and leave it off.

Liability, GM is worried about lawsuits.

It's probably more than that. Even on the 900-series trucks the system is never fully off. Stability control is a federally mandated nanny so they're probably not allowed to have it go fully off on standard models. I remembered watching a YouTube video on the Raptor when it first came out and the narrator talked about the off road mode which disabled ABS, stability control and traction fully and how careful you need to be in that mode and how only experienced people should use it. So I guess that means you need to be an expert driver to drive older vehicles without all the nannies. :lol:

I have disabled stabilitrac (gmt900) and am curious as to how it isn't fully disabled. I haven't had it inhibit my driving in any way, and I've given it plenty of reasons to try.

I think the manual says even in "off" mode there is still a limited amount of traction control. Turning it off will let you slide around in the snow and whatnot but its never truly off if memory serves.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      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.
