Educate me please

[Chad's Trail Boss]

This is my first GM vehicle since I got rid of my 1997 Chevy Single Cab with Vortex V6 in 2001.

 

What doe T1, K2, and C1 terminology mean?

 

Me now owning a 2019 Custom Trail Boss I gather I own a T1 but I feel dumb because I just don't know what that means.

And also because I have the 5.3 Active Cylinder Deactivation is that considered an 87L or something like that? I read people referring to numbers like that but again don't know what it mean.

 

Sorry for my ignorance. I guess I was in the RAM scene to long.

Welcome aboard/ welcome back. T1 is the current GM truck platform, and what you have. K2 is the previous generation truck that was released in 2014 and was sold through this year.

 

The engine code for your 5.3 with Active Fuel Management (AFM) is L82. The same basic engine has a more advanced cylinder deactivation program (DFM) in the higher trim models, and a different code (L84). The 6.2 is L87.

GMT400 - 88-99 trucks
GMT800 - 99-07 trucks
GMT900 - 07-14 trucks
K2 - 14-18 trucks
T1 - 19+ trucks

Thank you very much.
I've done so many esthetic mods and changed my center arm rest piece out on my truck so far in the little over 3 weeks I've owned it. I never knew this terminology/codes.
Plan to do some mechanical upgrades and knew I would benefit by knowing these things.
Thanks again.

Looks great, I don’t think you need to do anything else!

The last thing I'm doing is putting on an ARE MX Topper to cover the DECKED bed storage. She will then be complete.
