They had to release a "2022 limited" version because of shortages and delays, so the true 2022 "refreshed" trucks won't be available until Spring or so. It's an abnormal year for sure

Absolutely and lucky I got the the  2022 LTD Trail Boss Custom.  That allowed me to get the L3B and 8 speed in a Trail Boss I had tried to order a few weeks earlier that would have had the 4.3 and 6 speed. I am really happy the order changed to the L3B and 8 speed. I also got a $2000 credit for the 2.7 in the LTD Custom. 

 

I wanted a lifted truck for the snow and mud up here outback and was interested to see how efficient a high Tq turbo 4 would be and I couldn't be happier.

Well. Gals and Gents this topic was started for people who want to like or appreciate a new innovation. It will be a lot more fun to keep the negatives for another forum topic.   Yes it's a new engi

My record MPG is 41mpg for 50 mile average.  BUT, that's coming down a mountain pass.  At altitude on the highway, it's easy to get 26+mpg.  Close to sea level, this turbo doesn't seem worth it to me.... but I'm rarely at sea level.   

 

But in my daily life, which includes "city" driving, I'm closer to averaging 21mpg.  The stop and go, slow traffic really brings down the mpg quickly.  I know it's really really expensive, but a hybrid for speeds less than 10mph would give great mpg for this truck.

You guys that drove these 4 cylinders.

 

How often did it go into AFM and drop down to 2 cylinders?

How would we even know that?

On board realtime scanning or I think I can see it cruising and about a 250 RPM drop that seems like an upshift when I am already in 8th.  It's nearly imperceptible otherwise except MPG rise.

Linear Logic Scan Gauge II OBD tool can be programed to watch the AFM switching.

When it switches the converter unlocks to soften the engagement.

Grump, So I am feeling /seeing the RPM delta when the converter re-locks once on 2 cylinders?

The 2.7 doesn’t shut off any cylinders. This is only a feature of the 8’s

Just before it picks up the off line cylinders the converter unlocks then once all are firing again it relocks. It's a controlled slip. Cameron would be a better source of the fine detail. He tunes and reads with HP Tuner.

Hey All!

 

As of 12/31/21, I'm a proud owner of a Shadow Gray Metallic 2022 Silverado LTD Custom Crew Cab 2.7L 4x4! Roughly 875miles on it now. I live in the DC metropolitan area so my driving is just about a 50/50 split. I'm hand calculating around 20-21mpg, but my truck is saying 17.5-18.1. I'm assuming that the truck will get a little more accurate with more miles added? Any input on this discrepancy could be greatly appreciated.

Congrats and that color is amazingly deep, same as my custom trail boss. 

 

My DIC calc is within +/-0.3 mpg most of the time.  The manual says the computers are fully "learned up" ( my term LOL ) until 4000 miles but even hand calculations with variation at pump, ambient temp, shut off valve etc will vary. Over time the values will normalize enough for knowing what it is achieving. 

 

I have 2300 miles on mine and love it. No complaints at all. Amazed you are seeing that good of mpg in traffic around DC. It will get better than that over time. 

 

Drive for the TQ capability not fuel wasting RPM thumps and it will improve. 

 

Welcome and enjoy.

Gorgeous color. Looks almost deep blue from that angle. Love the tint. My sons god father owns his own tint business and that is always one of the first upgrades I get. 
MPGs will always vary between drivers and trucks. There are guys on forum here that can get close to 22 with their 6.2Ls. I’ve never come close to that. I’m right at 19.5-20 mpgs. 
Your truck will loosen up a bit and you can squeak out better mileage as long as you aren’t getting into that “turbo” too much. And from what I hear/read from other guys. It’s a fun little engine and loves to be spoiled up. It’s the only engine I haven’t driven yet. Can’t find one on the lots. The new one should be even better with rumored now 430 lbs of TQ. 
 

Congrats and enjoy your new truck.

I have four GM products on the lot. Two of them are like @customboss, on the money. Two others are 8-8.5% high of the hand calculation. Always have been. :dunno:

      cam upgrade in CA

      By AidenVorpagel · Posted

      hello I recently bought a 2012 gmc 1500 with a 5.3 and have a AFM disabler on it I'm interested in doing a cam but I'm worried if I remove the AFM system I will fail smog does anyone have info if they are able to detect that or a work around to it (not talking about hot smogging) please let me know thank you

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      Update. I started chasing down my symptoms. Started first with pulling valve covers and looked at everything. Everything looked good and couldn't hear or feel anything different. Then a compression test. 240 psi or really close on each cylinder. I was worried I was a tooth off of timing. Not bad for an engine with 173,000. Granted I did put new heads on. I sprayed water around the injector area to see if I could hear a change. Nothing. I hooked up my new hp tuner which I should have done in the first place but I don't really know what I'm looking at just yet but am learning. I noticed the fuel trims were way off so that told me I have to have either a bad injector or exhaust leak. New injectors, so I did the shop vac on blower and in the tail pipe. Sprayed soapy water and found the exhaust flange on the drivers side was leaking. I didn't think it would be that considereding I pulled the heads and left the manifolds attached. I did have the transmission replaced not long ago. They must have not seated them properly but I guess I didn't notice. I put in new gaskets on both sides. Which by the way isn't a bad job but I had a hard time getting them to seal right. Took two attempts. Reset the fuel trims and the ticking is gone, engine runs smooth and acceleration has improved. Got to feel the real difference with that stage 1 cam. It's not that big of a difference but it does add a little more. It feels like how the truck should have been from the factory.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.
