Got bored so I traded my '21 AT4 3.0 for this '22 LTZ 3.0 today. Ok, so I didn't get bored. I got more than I paid for the base AT4. This LTZ has everything but HUD, sunroof, and mirror camera (which I'm fine without those options).

I also swapped the S&B intake and the PPE turbo resonator delete from my AT4 onto this tonight. The S&B went on a lot easier on this truck for some reason. The hardest part about the swap on the AT4 was removing the OEM intake tube. This one almost fell out. It seems like there is more room around the rear of the engine in the refresh.

The picture of the OEM turbo resonator is how much oil is in the intake after 48 miles.

have you thought about adding a catch can to the setup? The more i read the more it appeals to me. I already have 56,000 on my 3.0, so i'm curious about how much oil i'm dealing with. I  also want the S&B and resenator delete like you, but since i'm in california and have to get smogged every 2 years, it's not worth sneaking in unless it gets CARB approved (at least for the intake, the delete is hidden and no one would really know).

 

also liking your name... my last is Jones and i was born in 84

First paint correction and seal on the AT4 now that winter is over. This blue looks even better after a clay/polish/seal.

I've looked, just not sure where the catch can would go in on the 3.0 since it doesn't have the traditional PCV system. The first 2020 3.0 I had, had 47k on it when I turned it back in and I never had any oil issues. Granted I never looked in the intake either. The second 2021 3.0 I had, had 7,600 miles on it when I traded it last week for this one; no oil issues with it either. 

 

I don't see on S&B's website where it isn't CARB legal. You could always call them. Their Tech Support was great when I called to verify that this would fit the '22 refresh.

Recently changed up my stance. Bottom pic is the before. It was lowered 1-1.5” on 22s using Belltech adjustable lowering struts in the front and drop shackles in the rear. Top pic is current with a 6” RC lift w/ Vertex shocks and 35” tires.

Love the lowered stance and wheels.

After being de-badged for 2 years, but loving the baby-max, I decided to show to the world what I'm rockin'

I added the front and rear splash guards. Luckily I found them on eBay as GM is backordered on both styles. Now I just need to find rear wheelhouse liners.

That is the OEM short flap that came on the truck. They are not as wide. The passenger side is the splash guards I installed.

All windows tinted today. Too bad I have to go back so they can re-do the windshield and front passenger door. Over the years, I have tried five different tinters in my area and cant find one I would say is just amazing

Come to Yankton, SD. My buddy owns business for 30 years. He is flawless. He is so damn picky!  He won a tournament in Vegas in the 90s.  I drove back from Vegas when I lived there to have him tint my Trailblazer. It was tinted from dealership and I could have tinted it better. Looks like they drug it across the ground before applying and used damn toe nail clippers to round off the edges. People think tinting is easy. It’s not it’s an ART. The way they can shrink the film to fit a curved window is amazing. Good tinters are hard to find.
There is a reason we become great friends and now he is my son’s God Father.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.

      Sugar Bears 2015 GMC Terrain SLE-2 2.4 AWD

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
