Well I pulled the trigger on a 2024 silverado crew cab 4x4. Went with the 2.7. Been driving it for 2 days and it actually runs better then my 2015 GMC with the 5.3. Really happy so far with truck. 

You are gonna love that stout engine, quality of the truck increases exponentially by NOT having defective 6.2L V8.  

 

My dealer is repairing rebuilding 4 6.2's monthly out here in Southern CO.

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

Scheduled appointment next Wednesday and while the truck was idling the MIL extinguished.  Maybe this truck is demon possessed? @Grumpy Bear thoughts?  LOL   Maintenance Supervisor things the new pump is bad. 

 

I am consistently getting 26-28 MPG @ 65 mph on HWY 160 here in CO.  I love this stout 4 popper. Heck these things run in 2 cylinders most of the time cruising.  

 

Oil usage update.  I added 11 ounces of RLI BIOSYN 5w30 @ 2000 miles.   MPG noticeably increased changing the oil back to 5w30 vs 10w30. 

That’s the biggest problem I had with cylinder deactivation with my truck. It was rarely on. At the time I was able to switch back and forth with a programer. I saw very little benefit for the extra breakable components involved. In contrast my Odyssey at highway speeds is running most of the time in eco mode. It takes a good incline to switch off. Your fuel mileage is about equal to mine. The difference is I usually travel at 72 mph.

At the rate they are trying to make the replacement pumps its a possibility.

Rough on alignments up here. 15,242 miles , 8 months since new alignment and 4 new Firestone WinterForce LT 275/65R18 tires. 10 ply rating. Run em year round. 2022 LTD TRAILBOSS Custom 4WD. Rotating about every 7600 miles. Still have 14/32” remaining wearing evenly.

Still hard to believe there's not a fix/module/program to keep;  what is turning out to be based on reviews and real world statements a stout, ample engine, out of 2 cylinder mode.  It's got some quirks;  but IMHO, many of those could be solved with locking  out 2 cylinder mode, and revamping the PCV system.

 

Seems to me the folks that run these engines at "boost" are the ones seeing major oil consumption...........Engine break-in maybe???

 

I'm very intrigued about this engine................

How much? Since when? Thanks. 

 

I started to notice it back when I started driving this truck around 34k miles. Burns anywhere from 3/4 quart in 5000 miles to 1.5 quarts in 5000 miles. I keep a quart in my truck at all times and check it periodically to keep it topped off. I just finished a 1500 mile road trip from SC to IL and back, and I checked the oil this morning and it was barely registering on the dipstick. It was in the middle of the dipstick before I started the trip. Added 1/2 quart and brought it back up to middle of dipstick.

 

No leaks anywhere I can see, Its just consuming somewhere.

 

Fuel mileage is fine tho I averaged 20mpg driving 75-77mph on this trip. Just gotta keep an eye on that oil level.

Not yet. I got another 900 miles left on my current oil change.

fondupot do you have oil leaking out of the pipe from the turbo to the after cooler, i replaced the pcv fine oil separator on my truck 20 k ago and it stopped. just did an oil change on the weekend and i see it is leaking again.

Do you have a picture of the area you're talking about? I can't seem to understand what spot you are referring to.

 

But i have no oil leaking form the engine that I can tell. I park in the same spot on my driveway and there are no oil spots.

Show us a pic of the parts and area for sure. I use a qt in 7000 miles if I go that long but there’s no line wetting /moisture or oil film showing in intake, CCV stream, or at intercooler I can see on mine.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
