Hi all. Looking at new Silverado's. I can't seem to find anywhere online, or in the brochure, where it tells specifically what the differences are between a 1LT truck and a 2LT. One Youtube video seemed to suggest that the 2LT means Z71, but that does not seem to be the case either. I am pretty savvy at internet searches and I can't seem to find a thing that definitively answers the question. A few people have suggested that the 2LT has buckets, console, heated seats, etc., however I have found several 1LT's with those same options. One of the 1LT trucks I found online has Buckets, Console, Heated Seats, adjustable pedals and a few other things! This is just crazy.  I asked my Chevy salesperson, even emailed him the link of the loaded 1LT and he replied that the 2LT has the heated seats and console. Clearly he didn't read my email....  Anyway,  I sent him the link a 2nd time with the loaded 1LT and this time rather than looking in to it further, he simply just never answered me back... at all. Guess that was the easy way out. Surely "someone" knows the real answer here.  I would like console, buckets, and heated seats, but maybe there are other features that I would like on 2LT so it would be awesome to know what they are. Or if you can option a 1LT just like a 2LT then why would they have both?  If anyone can help I would appreciate it. Thank in advance!

1LT is a regular 4x4 (if its 4x4), chrome front and rear bumpers.  Window sticker will say Silverado 1500 LT.

 

2LT is Z71, and its listed out on the window sticker as "LT Z71".  Z71 on the 1500 Silverado is a "trim level" if you will.  Gets painted front and rear bumpers, Z71 suspension, Z71 door sills, skid plates, and Z71 graphic cluster.

Different grills too.

The Z71 suspension includes Rancho shocks. Not mentioned above is that the package also includes hill decent control.

 

The painted front and rear bumpers don't apply to 2014 & 2015 models (the ones with the "older" front end)

You need LT2 to get the Z71 option, but LT2 doesn't mean you'll always get a Z71. My 2014 Silverado was an LT2 and not a Z71... The difference between LT1 and LT2 is what comes as a standard option. LT1 comes with every option you can get on an LS and an LT2 comes with those options, plus power seats, and dual climate control as standard equipment.

As long as you get the options you want, does it really matter what they call it?

I agree.  There are so many overlaps int the various trim levels and special packages.  When truck shopping, I double my chances by looking at Sierras and Silverados.

And to get the 6.2 you unfortunately have to get at least LTZ (or SLT in Sierra)

Trailering package with g80 locking differential to add as well. Also can only get the brake controller with the trailering package.

      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

      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.
