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

That's not what I've read.

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 Chuck FB · Posted

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

      Looks nice. I still have my 2000, 1500. Bought a 2025, 1500 for retirement. Feels solid. These trucks have a bad rap on the internet. My brother has a `24 1500, 5.3 with 52,000 miles. No problems at all. Mine hasn`t either but mine`s only at 12,700 miles. Have seen some of these things with 100,000 miles with no problems.
