Some of you guys are ridiculous. The dude got a new pickup, and that’s awesome. Some folks can’t even afford a $5k used Nissan Altima. If he bought a truck to haul limbs from his yard twice a year, so

We get it, Skippy.  We know where you stand on the 4cyl.

Congrats OP - let haters hate. Your rationale behind picking the 2.7T sound logical to me... Not all of us regularly have to displace fallen trees from seemingly major thoroughfares. Keep us poste

Ummmm, you’re going to make that motor struggle a bit with those Nitto’s. Do post pics of your upgrades though.

That was my thought. Jesus. It probably struggles with the stock wheels and tires!

Don’t think it’s that bad [emoji848] must’ve gotten a great deal on it. You’d be surprised how much HP someone can squeeze out of a 4 cylinder.... what’s the HP/Torque rating again ?

But WHY?

 

I watched that truck channel on YouTube make a video with it with a trailer loaded to near max the capability and that thing was a dog.

 

Now we want increased rolling resistance? Dear god.

 

This was GM's ploy to give the Silverado moniker a "green" appearance.

 

I guess the mall parking lot speed limit is only 15 mph. It oughta do that.

That’s not that bad, they’re great little motors, better suited for a smaller body but just be careful not to dog it down with to much weight.

Wouldn't the costs of those mods be about the same as upgrade to 5.3? Just don't understand, leave it stock or buy the 5.3. Your wasting your time. 


I’m sure he got a great deal on it. Besides, it’s his new truck, he’s proud of it, learn as he goes [emoji6]

oh wow, i didnt realize it was rated that well. Guess it is a strong little motor. More power than earlier 5.3's. I assumed 200 hp and 250ft.

I’d be careful doing to much to it, the 4bangers don’t do well with to much added weight and make sure to compare weight between the tire selections, just 10pounds per tire difference will affect your stopping and acceleration

Nope, he’s absolutely correct!

It’s almost got the same amount HP as the 5.3 Yukon XL I just got rid of. Do keep us posted and congratulations. Take good care of it and it’ll last you a very long time!

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It seems fine because it pulls everything out of a hot engine. I’m not going to worry about a thimble full with 5K oil changes with synthetic oil. Every other oil change is at Honda they pull the plug. I watch them through the process. It turns out going to Honda what amounts to their normal oil change intervals.

      DTC P2C48 auxiliary cooling pump

      I tried tapping it.  This might sound like a dumb question, you should feel vibration or some type of noise when it turns on? Can someone please verify? Thank you all!

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I feel better now for my own view point and actions or lack there of towards the dealership service theme reading your post and others. GM corporate is who offers the two free oil changes on the HD trucks and I bought my truck in Feb of 2025 and those oil change offers run out within 2 years I believe and I highly doubt I will be using either one of them. I had asked if I could officially give those free services to another customer ( a friend ) and they said no, its all a GM corporate thing based on the vehicle in question. What that service advisor did however was go into a little story about how such and such customer was denied engine warranty because he had done his own oil changes because then they are not documented ... you see where that goes and so an employee playing the game of scaring the customer into having the service work done there most certainly triggered my thought process. At a later date I did talk to the person who handles warranty claims at the dealership and she said to be sure to document the oil changes and keep receipts for the oil and filter ( coped the receipts from cases of Mobil oil and case of filters I bought from them ) and the vehicles VIN, the date of service, mileage etc and staple that together as a record I would give them if that was ever needed and I keep my own log book for services for each vehicle as well. Oh and about 8 months after I bought the truck the dealer starts calling me to offer a maintenance service since they haven't seen my vehicle show up on their system ... for the mere fee of 300.00 Canadian to change the oil and rotate the tires and a few other minor checks and I declined the offer, I get the call again a couple of months later for the same thing and she could tell I was not interested and she asked if they should take my name off the call list and I said yes, do that !.    By the way did you happen to keep your factory oil filter to open it up and see the surprises inside as I expect some will show up as per the odd little sliver of metal shaving and particles that the filter does trap along with bits of grey silicone sealer that come off of the inside edge of mating surfaces. I have cut open every filter so far on my truck although few miles but have changed the oil often and the second filter was vastly better with very little of anything, that first filter was the unsettling one as I expected it would be.

      I get why they do this…but man…not ideal. I only extract on inboard boat engines because the drains are buried and even then I hate it because it’s easy to leave a quart behind with that method.   They should market it as an “oil refresh” not oil change!

      I only get oil changed where I can watch. Valvoline pulls through the dipstick into a see thru glass. When done they show me the dipstick. About the only way they can mess up is using the wrong oil. But that secret wouldn’t stay secret long. Honda uses TQ wrenches on everything. You can watch through a plate glass window. Discount tires does that with tires. Trust but verify.
