Good memory!

 

I ended up with a 4WD because that was all I could find with the Regular Cab in Glacier Blue.....not getting quite as good a MPG, but still 23-24....I'll take it!

 

Weird you can't get any Fram or Mobil One extended life filters, it isn't like this engine is new....I guess it's the pandemic...seems to be the case with everything weird anymore.

 

I will definitely check out your oil reports!

 

I love that turbo whistle 😁

Nice truck!  Isn’t Grumpy Bear anti-4 banger in trucks? Lol

 

side note: after having numerous CEL issues with the AFE and K&N intakes I’m trying one last thing. Airraid makes a tube that replaces everything from the stock filter house to the turbo. I’m hoping to get some of the sound I love from the CAI without the CEL (MAF stays in the OEM box).

You can count me in the anti-4 banger club too....lol....until I drove one 😃

 

Nothing like any 4cyl I ever drove before, granted I haven't bought one since the late 80's.....lol  

 

Amazingly like all the V8's I have always bought in Chevy Trucks through the years.

I had 0 intention on buying the 2.7. At all. I drove a 5.3 and was set. But at the time I could get a great deal on a 2.7 so I drove it. It felt pretty much exactly like the 5.3 in terms of power. But it handles better (lighter front end). Do I wish I had that V8 sound and could do exhaust on it?  Of course but for the daily “dad ride” that I use it as, it’s perfect.

Grumpy likes the best bang for the $$......so in time! LOL  

 

 

If you remove the oiled air filter media regardless of brand that will help. AIRRAID and AFE both have dry synthetic medias that are cleanable. I have seen good results in testing with those.  

 

Let us know.

Yeah it pretty much has no exhaust sound....I guess it could be worse, it could sound like a 1985 Toyota Corolla....lol

I was really impressed how quiet my last new truck was. One of the reasons I used to do exhaust was to mask the wind noise and rattles. That opened the door for a V-6 or 4. I quit being an V-8 only after we got our Acura type r. And later our 6 cylinder Hyundai’s. I've had 3 of those. I’m not a V-8 snob anymore.

Just bought my 2019 GMC Sierra SLE. Lease was coming due, and I only had 17200 miles on the truck. Could not find a lease close to what I had (238 a month). Plus, the buy-out was 8000.00 cheaper than a comparable 2019 GMC.

So, I bought it outright.

It should last me a long time.

Mines a lease, I plan on buying it outright. With the price hikes and lack of some options (retrofit later) it makes sense. I had so many rebates on this thing and GM employee discount.

I have 3500 miles on my 2022 trailboss custom 2.7ho. 2000 of those miles are towing and it does a great job. It tows as well as the 5.3’s and better than the ford 5.0’s we use at work. I get 12-14 mpg’s towing the boat pictured depending on wind direction.

I tell you what, when I clean the windshield or wash the roof I think lowering it some wouldn't be a bad thing....lol

 

If they keep making these trucks taller they need to sell an accessory step ladder😂

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

      I'm looking at carpal tunnel surgery on my left hand and lumbar fusion.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.
