The second gen (2017+) Raptor. The GM car version debuted in the ZL1 that same year and this truck’s version came out in some of the high end full size GM SUVs in 2018. Ford led the development but each automaker builds their own version in their own factories.

I believe the co-devolved 6speed GM was given the go ahead to unleash it in Malibu/Saturn in high volumes and FERD had to trickle it in...Then they did opposite for 10speeds.  Which is why ZL1 was used.

Is the 10 speed offered in a 5.3 2wd configuration?

My understanding is that it's only available in 4x4 trucks right now.

Yup from what I've seen 4WD = 10 speed 2WD = 8 speed. I would like the 10 speed but, don't want the 4WD.

These are what you call GM games.  WTF is wrong with these morons.  So the guy with the 2WD doesn't need the 10 speed?  Its crazy . But we have known about GM hierarchy rules for a while now.

I have a 6.2 with 10 speed, it’s one of the best shifting eng/Tran combination.  Especial nice while towing my 10k fifth wheel 

Careful.....the weight police will be by to tell you that your combo is overweight/unstable/unsafe/unacceptable.  ?

From what I've heard about the 8 speed, I'd spring for 4WD and the 10 speed if I were you. Just my $0.02.

Coming from a 2015 with a 6.2 mated to a 8 speed trans I say get the 10 speed trans.  Night and day the way it shifts.  I did not have the hard shifting that others had with the 8 speed and I know they improved it but the 10 speed is very smooth all the time.....like warm butter.

Get the 2020 different 5.3. Easy to see air cleaner is on the drivers side it’s the new 5.3.

It's the same 5.3L. Both the 5.3 with DFM in 2019 and 2020 are L84 engines. If the engine were new or even updated, they would have a different engine code.

This maybe true. However if you are looking at trucks on the lot right now to purchase. Not so much.

10-speed is superior. The 8 was kind of a stopgap between the venerable 6 and the under-development 10. They kind of half-assed it a bit and are now having issues. Seems to be the usual GM corporate antics.

I have a 2019 TB with 5.3 V8 Ecotec3 AFM, Six (6)spd Transmission, no issues - drives, shifts very well.  On the interstate cruising at 65-70mph, I easily yield 22 MPG.  

 

The Goodyear DuraTrac tires are very quiet on the highway, yet very capable off road.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I agree with this assessment. As you know I’m testing longevity with vehicles for the first time. I have a few vehicles I passed to kids and grandkids. We’re all past 100K miles some approaching 170K. I’m the only one doing 5k oil changes. The rest whatever the minder says. I’m the only one doing frequent transmission service. My odyssey the trip vehicle at 200K will be finished as a trip vehicle. I recently changed to high mileage oil, Valvoline. I can’t get past the fact that all manufacturers want to claim long service life. I just don’t make sense that they would go with low weight oil for mileage. While sacrificing longevity.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      There's absolutely a mountain of profit in catering to the "I do my own research" crowd, people who are certain they know better. And I don't mean there isn't data to support that 0w40 produces less wear product than 0w20 in an engine like the 3.0 Duramax, that only feeds them the assurance they need. Again, my whole thing with oil selection is, sure, 0w40 or 0w30 produces less wear product. Are we talking the difference between the engine lasting only 100k versus 200k? Or are we talking more like, if the engine will already go 350k on a good 0w20 regimen recommended by the OE, is using 0w40 going to get us to 355k, assuming we can even get the rest of the truck to last that long, meanwhile sacrificing the first 5y, 100k in powertrain warranty. The answer isn't easy, there are tradeoffs.   I willfully use 0w20 Dexos D for this reason, knowing that a 0w40 will produce slightly less wear. I don't believe the delta in wear product is meaningful over the lifetime of the engine, and I place much more importance on driving style and overall feeding and care of the engine as a whole. It's the mentality that someone can abstain from alcohol their whole life which is an amazing boost to health by itself, theoretically. But if they're sedentary, that lifestyle choice will most likely kill them young despite their other, concerted efforts. Maybe someone doesn't drink AND they are the perfect picture of health and activity AND they use 0w40 AND they treat their engine perfectly. If living until 130 years is the goal, sure, do that. But it's going to be a really old truck falling apart around a good engine for that last 30 years, without a doubt.   I watched Demonworks' other video on the 100k+ 3.0 Duramax that had dealer 0w20 changes on what appears to be OLM-prescribed intervals (8-10k).   The QR codes are still present and readable on the main bearings. That's how little wear it has.   That's not proof that anyone else should stick to 0w20, but it's confirmation, for me, that 0w20 is perfectly acceptable to use in these engines.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By c4racer2 · Posted

      oh ya that's good to know - I would rather use a gear than the brakes down a long hill.  I would not let cruise control take over on snow or towing a trailer for sure on hills anyway.     The other thing about the CO trip was that was all done above 6K feet for the most part, so that has to use more gas as the motor is down a good amount of power up there.   If I drove my 2016 Camaro with a very similar V8 to this 6.6 it would probably get about 23-24 on the fast run up to NE.  But the premium fuel premium is steep here in CO, so it would still only save about $40 in overall costs for the round-trip.  And you sure can't carry much gear in a convertible camaro!
