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

Yeah ok, but what's the fuel consumption like? Guaranteed it sucks more gas than the V8.

It’s not bad at all, love hear more of your personal experiences with it OP, be careful adding to much to soon, you may take HP or torque away from it doing engine add ons.

Naaaaah, those numbers are too low. Not my experience with the Vortec 5.3 or the Ecotec.

Towing is capped below 7,000?!

Hard pass. Modern half tons are up around 10,000 or above.

Best of luck to you, hope you don't try to haul too much with it. That turbo has to be screaming to get those numbers.

To be fair, the L84 really is just an L83 with that autostart nonsense. All that does is burn your starter out and put more load on the battery.

I can’t stand that damn auto stop start crap, my wife’s new X5 has it and it freaks me out too. And this is one of the reasons why I’m staying in my 18 for a few extra years to come, as long as it behaves lol. Sorry OP, good luck and do keep us posted

Autoshart, as I call it, is a curse from the EPA.

Make sure you feed your hamsters good sunflower seeds OP.

V8 owners dogs the new 2.7 turbo. Before my current 2019 Silverado crew cab RST with the hated 4 cylinder, I owned a 2010 Silverado double cab 5.3 6 speed with intake, exhaust and edge tuner. Performance wise compared to my current truck the 5.3 does have a bit more off the line power, otherwise feels very the same as far as accelerating. Before deciding with the 2.7 I drove the new v8 5.3, v6 4.3, then lastly the 4 cylinder. Keep in mind that I was very skeptical as 99% of owners here. The 5.3 felt right, v6 was just straight crap and the 2.7 surprised me. For my purpose of using the truck which is a grocery getter, family hauler, trash hauler and just to have a vehicle to load anything big and the fact that I will probably never pull anything, it just didnt justify the extra $$$ to go with the v8. My first test was when I hauled atleast 1200# of trash to the dump site, besides putting a bit more pressure on the brakes, this small motor handled it really well to were I almost couldnt tell that the bed was loaded. Fuel mileage wise it does exceed my girlfriend's 2016 lexus nx200t which is probably half the weight with my averaging 20mpg to her 18mpg. My old 2010 silverado was lucky to see 15mpg especially with all the stop and go traffic and short distance freeways we have here in Hawaii.  From my personal usage, to the great price I got and the cool whistle of the turbo and surprising power I'm glad I got this one.

More power to you, that’s a great point you’ve made. It takes all kinds to be satisfied, keep enjoying it.

For light usage like you stated, it's probably fine.

For me, I yank an occasional stump, I pull a 8,000 pound loaded trailer, and in Florida we have Hurricane season. Whole oaks may fall and block the road. You can either wait for someone to cut it up and move it, cut it yourself, or drag it out of the way.

In the last 4 years, I've done a lot of dragging.

If you buy a pickup for regular heavy work or even the prospect of it, this go-cart motor ain't gonna cut your mustard.

My 1993 Single cab short bed has more towing capacity.

I will never support farting in the wind to stop a tornado.

Yes, now this is were a 4 cylinder will probably have its downfall, if your going to haul heavy ass loads and tow something heavy. If I were doing any type of heavy labor, I'd absolutely go with a 6.2 or diesel, if not a 2500.

Not even, I wouldn't go to a 2500 unless I regularly had a load to pull.

A V8 1500 even without max trailer package can do 9,000. That's more what I'd expect buying a 1500. What was the out the door price? I can almost guarantee you didn't save any money picking that engine.

Your turbo is gonna be screaming wide open, you'll be sucking down fuel, I'm getting 23 mpg on a V8. No V4, it's disabled. What is a 4 cylinder turbo engine saving you? Turbo bearings go south, bam. Need a new turbo. The V8s have their own issues, but they are manageable and easily mitigated.

Y'all on the other hand are in no man's land.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
