Just placed my order for a '14 Sierra SLT/AT pretty well fully loaded. Near $50k truck. I should have my head examined. I think I'm gonna be sick!

Sweet! I realize it's a Pontiac...but she's my baby. What can I say! It's not everyone's cup of tea. Blue wheels can be rather polarizing.

Congrats. Did dealer speculate on delivery time frame?

 

I ask because I also ordered a 6.2 4x4 with tow pkg today. Dealer said it shouldn't be an issue on build time since I didn't opt for sunroof.

My dealer also said they were having issues with sunroofs. They have been waiting 2 months on a Denali w/ a sunroof with no end apparently in sight. The unfortunate future owner of said Denali just happened to be there in fact. Poor guy also totaled his trade in, so he's desperate! She was a bit concerned over the 6.2 as it has been recently constrained, though she didn't know of any active constraints on anything but sunroofs. Her guess, and it was just that, 6-10 weeks. We'll see!

Is this the Fbody/2014 owners association? Lol! 1991 Model here...owned for 19 years now! Haven't ran in 6yrs so I need to get off my ass and finish up current project with it. Can't wait for my truck to come in. Gonna make a nice combo going to the racetrack!

If it's the car in the sig, seems to have quite the 'giddyup! Those front tires are begging for relief there. Nice! I realize it's sad, but am I the only one who considers the color coordination of the track car, trailer, tow rig, and tie downs? I think I have a condition.

Thanks! She hasn't quite lifted the tires but has come really close. 1.62 60', 11.62 at 118.5mph aint too shabby these days still. Stock T5 and stock 7.5" rear! And congrats on the new ride coming!

Sweet. Our fun rides would run neck and neck. I have never had an 11.5x, but I've been close! 1.53 60', but she's a pig and gives it up on the top end. I think ~116mph has been my top speed. It's an auto 4L60E, so 1st and 2nd are monsters and 3rd just hangs fooooooooreeeeever!

Nice! Yeah, your killing me out the hole. Auto LS1's with a good converter are always a beast at 60 foot. BTW, I have an aluminum driveshaft from a 30th Ani TA. I scored one when a customer brought his down to my friends shop to do quite a few mods. :thumbs:

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      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.

      AFM Disabler Question

      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.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.
