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.

I definitely saved over $7 grand and the choice of having to spend extra to cover up chrome. Unless special ordered, it's very slim to have the right package you want here in Hawaii. At the end of the day, v8 haters can hate all they want. Everyone has there own perspective and opinions but unless they be have money tied to it, I dont think it's right to down someones decision.

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

Over the lifespan of the truck, you wanna bet you save 7 grand on fuel?

I'm thinking no. To get that little hamster wheel to crank out takes a lot of gas.

I'll take on that bet as I'm already experiencing 20mpg, better than my gfs 2016 lexus nx200t which is also a 4 cylinder turbo and gets 18mpg at best and its barely broken in. Such a dispise against the 2.7, u shouldnt even have opened this thread.

Locked up, like all of them.

 

I think "some" must forget that nearly every single car manufacturer has gone to turbo power is just about every application as way for power and fuel economy. Like half the car/SUV's on the market have factory turbo engines and how often you hear of lawsuits or things of that nature because that is what they came with? Modern turbo's are incredibly robust and they have to be.

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.

Nope.  L84 is DFM (dynamic fuel management) and stop/start.  L84 can shut down any number of cylinders in 17 different combinations and has a decent amount of parts changes from L83. 

 

L82 is AFM (active fuel management aka V4 mode) no stop/start.  L82 is the 2019 T1 version of the L83.

All in all, I think OP did good with his choice, he bought what he wanted and didn’t go with another cheaper priced brand so it’s obvious he wanted something along the line of a full size truck but didn’t need that extra 45 HP.

Waiting for pics!

My 2.7 pulls my trailer better than the loaner 5.3 I had.

Mic drop!!! 

 

There you have it folks. I had the same opinion hating on the turbo but after checking the numbers they are very respectable. Torque will also be made down low, bet it pulls within its capacity better than the 5.3.

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 be it. Some of you paid 60 grand for a 6.2 just to circle the local Sonic or McDonald's parking lot four times a night. Who’s the real idiot here?  Whether it’s a 2.7 or a 6.2, be proud and drive the wheels off of it. Welcome to the club.

I’m absolutely loving my 2.7! I ordered the AFE intake with the dry filter. Curious to see what the aftermarket comes out with for this engine. So
Far very happy with it. This is my first Chevy, And first full size truck. I have had everything from a 750rwhp Coyote on E85 to a 400awhp WRX and this is my favorite vehicle so far.

Lmk how that goes and what your expressions are, I was thinking about the same intake since intakes actually do make a noticeable difference on turbo applications. As new as this motor is, aFe is the only option for now as far as intake and exhaust goes. Also, does anyone know what the secondary resonator looking right after the muffler on these trucks ?

I definitely will, I already have paid for it, won’t ship till December or January unfortunately. Where are you seeing exhaust for the 2.7 I can’t find it on AFE website. I would really be interested in a catless downpipe and also a bigger FMIC

 

If someone cracks the ECU for tuning we could run e85 and make some real power. Exhaust, intake and FMIC on e85 would easily make more power than a 6.2

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that?

      Future GMC Jimmy

      By revrnd · Posted

      What are your thoughts? The Chevy Blazer relaunch was an epic case of 'lunchbag letdown'. Jeep Wranglers and Ford Broncos stick out like a sore thumb.    The AI photos do not look like a 'retro version', but shrunken Tahoes. Get away from the 'futuristic look'. I've seen two concepts. One had rectangular headlight like a Rivian and the other way too big headlights (similar to a previous non-Wrangler SUV) should include dual round headlights like the early version.   If not this would look OK   At least it has GM styling (albeit the K2XX) A lot of the images floating around look like Bronco IIs or the current Bronco. Looking at the Broncos in my area (central Ontario, it seems to be a mix of 2 doors and 4 doors, 'mall rated' to ones that could go offroad.    I'm sure a AT4 and AT4X RPOs could be outfitted similar to a Rubicon if the braintrust understood the whole offroad scene. Crossing my fingers that if it does see the light that the front air dam/bumper doesn't extend below the center line of the tire...

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well
