Trail boss Custom?

Hello all. Been following the forums for a while, finally decided to make an account. I currently have a 2017 Chevy Silverado double cab. Looking to upgrade to a crew cab which is more family oriented.  The Trail boss LT has my attention but might be a little pricey (still waiting on Canadian price release). I’m not really picky on gadgets, actually the less the better, so the trail boss custom seems appealing as well, and should be more budget friendly.

My question is, has anyone seen one? I know the 2019s aren’t out in Canada yet, but should be soon from what I’m reading. But I have yet to see Trail boss customs on American lots. Have they even produced any yet?

Let me know if and when you get your hands on one. Just picked up an '18 WT 20" option double cab because I couldn't beat the price. It will do for now but ideally a crew cab would have been better.

Mine is a WT with the blackout package. 20” black wheels, blacked out grille etc. I like it just wish I had gotten a crew cab, but like you the deal was too good to say no.

I would have liked to see the old fashioned 4x4 floor shifter on the new WT models

I have the floor shifter. My only regret is that I have the 4.3. But honestly I can complain considering I had a 2015 accord sport before that. We needed something with 4x4 and a box. Any distance travel that doesn't require towing or hauling, we can do in our crv as a family. It will do what i need it to do for now. Getting terra grapplers installed this week because I don't trust the skins that came on it stock.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

      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.

      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.
