This was my loaner for the day while the dealership had my truck. This was my first time driving the new body style GMC. It was a SLT with 1300 miles and the new multi pro tailgate. It seemed to ride a little smoother than mine but mine has the Z71 off road package and the truck I drove today did not. I really like the keyless entry and push button start but the tailgate was my favorite thing about the new truck. If I had to replace my truck today I'm pretty sure that it would be a new GMC.

Looks great! I definitely prefer the new GMC over the Chevy!

I still think the 18 GMCs are so much better looking.

Good point.  To take it one step further, many will argue that all new American pickups look alike.  If my wife was colour blind, she would have some difficulty finding our truck in a  parking lot!  ;-)   I, on the other hand, take a keen interest in the "big 3" pickups and can recognize the more subtle differences between years and/or brands.

My wife once mistook a GMT-900 Silverado that had a bull bar on the front for her dad's 2011 EcoBoost, which has a cap and no bull bar.

I'd never mistake the 3 either but it is funny how GM seemed to borrow some design elements from the F150s that are in the process of being redesigned.

I have to admit, even though I think I know my cars and trucks, I can't tell one truck from another from behind at more than about 200 ft while driving.  My eyes are quite what they used to be, but the differences are so slight when viewed from behind.

I might have posted this before on here but my brother pointed out that all new pickups have the notch or lift in the rear window that was originally done by the Nissan Frontier.

When I see a new Ram from a distance out of the corner of my eye, I think it's a Ridgeline for some reason. And the new Fords apparently have the same taillights as the new Rams.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.
