Hey guys,

 

Should have this truck this week, and after much deliberation, I can say... I'm excited and hesitant.

 

Both dealers were kind enough to let me do extended demos on the trucks (overnight), with the other one being the 2014 Tundra Platinum.

 

Tundra felt dated.... maybe I'm biased, coming out of one.

 

Old Truck: 2008 SR5 DC Tundra

Before That: 2003 EC Sierra SLE

 

Black in color, doesn't have the sliding rear window... which was a bummer...

 

First Stop Mods:

- Rough Country Leveling Kit 2"
- Flowmaster Force II Exhaust
- 285/55/20 Toyo Open Country's

- Line-X

 

 

Here's hoping the first year, isn't plagued with problems..... or there's too many "made in mexico" jokes.

You will love it, though those tires are going to throw the speedo off a bit. Are you having the shop use the hypertech speedo re-calibrator?

 

Stock tires

 

275/55-20 = 31.91

 

new tires

285/55-20 = 32.34

Problems I've seen so far are minor. Personally have not encountered a single issue and love this truck.

 

Congratz and enjoy your truck.

I wasn't going to bother, to be perfectly honest.

 

 

And thanks guys! With some luck, it will arrive tomorrow.

You'll love it. I also came from a Tundra 5.7. I agree with you, for the slight tire change you're doing you'll be fine as is. Mine are 2.5 inches taller than stock, so I did the Hypertech.

I have the same truck with some similar mods. Mine is leveled on the front and 1" increase on the back with Nittos LT295/55R20 E123/120Q 32.91 h x 12.52 W. I went with the Readylift kit ad I would recommend it to others. I have done several other mods as well but as for your list I think you are going to be very happy! I have always had 6.2L in the past but I couldn't be happier with the 5.3L. Lots of power turing these bigger tires and it is quiet as a mouse. Enjoy!

Beautiful truck, congrats! Think I'm going to go with the same truck as you except with the 6.2 and iridium color to replace my 5.3 Silverado. Love the monotone paint and the GMC has grown on me to look more rugged than my Chevy.

I'm thinking we're going to see more and more Toyota Buyers coming back to the big three....... I worked for Toyota when the 07 Tundra Launched. They thought that once they capture a buyer they will not leave. Well, As Ford and GM improved their sedans, people traded their mid 00's Camrys (the years when both the Malibu and the Taurus were no match) for Malibus and Fusions and we're going to see it now with the trucks. Seems like they just punted on the 14 "redesign" and gave up. It's a nice enough truck, but they needed to do SOMETHING enginewise to keep up with the market... but it just seems like they are content selling to Toyota buyers and hoping to retain a few conquests from the 07 tundra....

 

When people will leave established brands to try something else, they are more likely to leave again in the future.

Nice choice! and as far as the "made in Mexico" jokes from the Toyota fanboys spin the fact of where the money goes at them... Tundra buyers love to rag on built in mexico GM trucks or Ford Engines but keep quiet about the money going back to Japan on their trucks... the GM money from mexican trucks goes here... OBVIOUSLY all dumb arguments and mean nothing as both companies contribute to the economy in positive ways but you can play along.....

      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."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      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.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
