Couldn't make it out to SEMA this year? Not a member of the industry? Always wanted to know what Chevy's SEMA booth is like to walk around? Come with us on a 15 minute walk through of what Chevy is showing off at this years SEMA Show.

I'm kinda digging the Silverado High Desert. Like the functionality of the bed. I guess it's how they're bringing back the Avalanche without technically bringing it back. I also own a '11 Avalanche and wish my new Silverado had the storage boxes built in. I've always liked the aesthetics of the wind sails.

Sorry, we can't save or convert the video to youtube. It's stuck on facebook. That said, you should be able to view it without being logged into Facebook. We'll keep your issue in mind when we do this in the future.

Thanks for the walk around!! Great feed on what Chevrolet has in the works.

 

I'm not on face book either...just click on the "Chevrolet at Sema 2016" and it will take you to face book page and in-large the screen and will let you view it without big box in front of the screen. You may have to "Click the not now" button to drop box but in-large the screen and all should be good.

Man, those '67's were beauties! Love the SS pace car. White and blue ain't my most favorite combo, but that car sure makes it look great!

 

I'd feel out of place at a show like this. Stuff I can't afford, models I've never heard of, stand-alone electronics for classics (no thank you!). Would take a major automotive upheaval to get me out of the 60's as far as cars & trucks go. I guess I'm bitter that this whole industry was created by working class, blue-collar guys that just liked to go fast and tinker, and has now morphed into a rich man's hobby. I can't believe the cost of modern performance. My buddy is into his '10 Camaro SS over $15k!! I could've bought a whole fleet of cars that would've lasted the rest of my days for JUST that! Never mind the price of the car alone ...

 

Was surprised to see a bowtie on a vehicle there that looked like a carbon copy of the Isuzu Vehicross. Guess that's just my perspective - all modern cars look the same to me. I can't tell the difference between hardly anything built this century. That crossover deal was interesting - not sure what was going on under the hood there. Must be electric or hybrid.

 

Great footage though - now I understand what the deal is with SEMA. Always heard about it, but never really knew what it was all about.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By teamjnz · Posted

      Sounds like converting will be a bigger endeavor than I was thinking. This truck doesn't have 2Hi like the Suburban did. The Tahoe has 4Hi and 4Lo and a button to turn of traction control.   From what I understand the Stabilitrak uses open diff in the front and rear. When wheel speed is not the same the stabilitrak uses the ABS system to slowdown the spinning wheel(s) to transfer power to the slower non-spinning wheel(s). I thought the transfer case was open too. Being able to transfer power either more to front or rear depending on wheel spin. Maybe I miss understood some information with you saying and power transfer is 50-50. Thanks

      OCI, not when but why?

      My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.
