The 2020 Sierra HD is much better looking,  IMHO :thumbs:

Agreed! But at least this media event gets us a lot of the specifications for the GMC! :cool:

You guys want a reason why the DEF tank should have stayed where it was?

 

Gas fuel tank capacity (all cabs/wheelbase):  36 gallons.

 

Diesel fuel tank capacity:

RCLB:  28 gallons.

DCSB:  29.4 gallons.

DCLB:  36 gallons.

CCSB/CCLB:  36 gallons.

 

Double Standard box and RCLB lose fuel tank capacity on diesel. 

 

Also...3.73 gears on gas ONLY.  I'd like to know (other than fuel economy) why the 4.10 was dropped, unless they plan to add the 10L90 next year.  I get that there is more power, and I do see that the tow ratings are the same/more than a 4.10 with the 6.0, but still...

 

Duramax/A10 Allison gets 3.42 gears now too. 

 

And FINALLY...larger tires on the 18" and 20" wheels.  LT275/70/18 (same as Ford) on the 18", and LT275/65/20 on the 20".

Another video with LOTS of detail about the 6.6L gas,  6.6L diesel, and some general information:

The white truck in this video looks like a Storm Trooper LOL

The wheels look like those of the Tundra or Tacoma.

Hood scoop on the gasser is cosmetic only. 

 

Finally some pics without cab clearance lights.

higher towing rates great now just make it so anyone who buys it can tow that much with out having to go to tractor trailer school to do so and the expensive inspections on gvws over 10K lbs .

does anyone know what the gvw will be on the trucks ?

Max gcwr is listed as 43,500 for3500  reg cab, diesel, drw

 

All srw's are under 30,000 gcwr.

All 2500's are under 28,000

All gassers are under 24,000

Gassers have higher payload ratings than diesel. 

 

From the link:

 The 2020 Silverado HD also includes a VIN-specific Trailering Information Label, something no competitors has, that clearly lists the truck’s specific trailering metrics including curb weight, gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), gross combined weight rating (GCWR), max payload, max tongue weight, gross axle weight rating (GAWR) and fifth wheel and gooseneck ratings.

The one thing i like it looks like the truck sits level now instead of being jacked up in the rear.

New video from Mr. Truck. Talks about a few interesting things like

 

- 6.6L torque is improved 20% across the entire RPM range, not just peak

- Torque peak has lowered to around 4000 RPM

- E85 is NOT available on the new 6.6L

- The 5th wheel/gooseneck prep package is mounted 3" behind the rear axle instead of directly over or in front of the rear axle

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I imagine the cold winters up here with repeated short runs in town every day for those that live and work in town and given what I have come to learn on this forum with DI engines having fuel dilution issues, and if they don't change the oil until it says to but keep driving it for a while, I bet all that is just lovely on those finicky lifters.

      AWD conversion to Z71

      By teamjnz · Posted

      I just did some reading and Stabilitrak is more than a what I had originally thought. It is more of a vehicle control system to help the driver in precarious situations. I thought it was only the AWD system. Now I know. So I changed the title for this thread to AWD conversion to Z71

      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

      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.
