I think it's all part of the "dramatic weight reduction" they have been raving about.  Once that settles down see what happens...   Just my thoughts.  I'll choose range over mileage any day,

Any one out there know of a supplier making a larger capacity than stock replacement gas tank for 2019 Silverado/ Sierra 1500 4WD?  Preferably in the 32 gal + or -  range.  Thanks

Can the diesel tank be modified to work in a gas truck? 

Sadly, as I sit looking at a 36 gal diesel tank, it’s not a simple replacement. The width between the straps are way way off. Still going to pull the 24 gallon tank and see if/what would be involved to do it…. Doesn’t look promising.

In my pulling days I would put a tank in the bed. Some had pumps. Others I would tie in to my main tank return line. Then I would put an old fashion switch so I wouldn’t over fill the main tank. It’s been awhile since I did that trick. I personally wouldn’t do much pulling with a half ton. If I was pulling heavy enough to make a difference I would go with a small transfer tank in the bed, 50 gallon sized. With a pump and filling the main that way. If I was doing it a lot I’d plum to the return as I stated above. Whatever you add under the truck wouldn’t give you much for pulling. At least in the bed it’s easier to remove. Empty my bladder is good for about 200 miles. My wife usually 100. Lately I haven’t seen any vehicle unable to do 400 miles, truck or car.

This is why I got rid of my power wagon. Now when i tow my enclosed trailer with my 3.0 Duramax I am getting 14mpg instead of 7mpg. But I still want a bigger tank😅

I still don't understand why literally both of their competitors have options for larger tanks, but GM doesn't.

Marketing, GM  wanted a tow to weight ratio headline so they compromised the size of the tank ...to save a few pounds.

Couldn't they still achieve that if they offered a larger tank as a option? but not standard?

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      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

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