What about a diesel hybrid? I'd probably grab one of those for sure!

 

I hope the 1500's get a diesel like the Ram has. I don't need a 2500 but would love a diesel truck.

A diesel would definitely be nice.  I think I'd have to trader my 2014 in on one if that happened.

2019 Chevy Silverado LT Trail Boss. Full reveal coming in January. 

 

 

What a relief. A special edition.

That makes me hope that the "normal" trucks haven't lost the elegance the previous models had.

Same for the tail gate....

But then, it could just be a good photoshop.

so long

Not sure how I feel about those headlights.  Looks kinds of like the Fords, with that odd piece that comes in underneath.

I kinda like it. I'm looking forward to the HD models. That little extension that feeds into the headlights looks dumb. That should be removed imo

Yeh, depends on how much difference is between a diesel and a 6.2 gasser.  I have the 6.2 gasser in my 2015 and it matched with the 8 spd tranny are a great combo.  Btw, I was in my dealership last week for a routine oil change and was making chit chat with a service rep while waiting.  He recently had been to a viewing of the 2019 Silverado and naturally was all pumped about it.  I asked if the horsepower and torque will be upped on the 6.2 gasser and he said that the GM people at the viewing stated yes both will be increased but refused to give any numbers.  Anyway, waiting for the 2019 to hit the dealer lots so to touch, feel, drive, etc.  my 2015 is a great truck, especially for towing.  But, I'm no spring chicken anymore and so my old bones are less tolerant of the current leaf spring rear suspension setup.  So, will be testing the 2019 very closely for any improvement.

Any possibility of the multiple T1XX threads be merged/edited? I think there are 3 that are more or less the same substance. A lot of speculation about a truck after seeing 1 video & some PR pics.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

      Looks nice. I still have my 2000, 1500. Bought a 2025, 1500 for retirement. Feels solid. These trucks have a bad rap on the internet. My brother has a `24 1500, 5.3 with 52,000 miles. No problems at all. Mine hasn`t either but mine`s only at 12,700 miles. Have seen some of these things with 100,000 miles with no problems.
