diesel 3.0

Recommended Posts

Posted

2020 AT4 3.0, Traded in my 2019 Tahoe premier for it last September.  I absolutely love it! The mileage is better, the 10 speed is smooth and it’s got more jam than the Tahoe(5.3) 

 

So far I’ve had it levelled, backflip tonneau installed, rear under seat storage box and swapped out the antenna for the Ronin stubby. I’ve plasti dipped the badges and will be doing the fog light bevels and mirror caps with white vinyl on my next days off. 
 

I don’t mind the rim design so I’ve been going back and forth on new rims or just powder coating the stock ones. The Duratracs are okay but I will definitely be going with something else when it’s time to replace them. 
 

We get lots of salt up here because of the winters so Rust check will be happening before another winter comes.

 

Waiting for S&B intakes to come back in stock and doing research on 2” lifts and better shocks.

 

And I’m really wanting a set of Bodyguard bumpers (front and rear) but with the exchange rate it’s not happening now.

I have a 21 Silverado Z71 LTZ with the 3.0L.  I have had the 5.3 L in my past two Chevy's but wanted to be back in a diesel.  I traded mine in and got this one and love it!   It has 12K miles on it now and has a 3" Cognito Coil over lift, 35x11.5 Toyo Open Country ATIII's, Go Rhino running boards, Diamondback HD Tonneau cover, Auto Stop Eliminator, Rough Country Speedometer calibrator, and debadged (Except the "Duramax"- I had to leave that!)

2022 RST, Z71. 

Drove a 2019 5.3 for almost 2 years, had an engine replacement under warranty. Knew one other person with a rebuild under warranty. Didn't want to go back to that. Absolutely love my 3.0. Much better mileage than the 5.3. Better power too. Havoc nerf bars, 20% tint.  3" superlift A Arm lift is on the way.

I bought my 2023 LTZ in August of 2023. I've had 2 other diesels before this 3.0. I had a 2006 Silverado 2500 6.6 LBZ and a 2011 GMC Denali 2500 6.6 LML. I had a 5th wheel toyhauler I was towing but have traded that in for a lighter bumper pull travel trailer and do not need the 2500HD anymore. The Denali LML wasn't a very good truck but the LBZ was a beast. I'm older and wiser now and am more about comfort over 1/4 mile times. 

The MPG of this 3.0 is pretty nice also.

    • Hey everyone,   For anyone looking at roof-mounted lighting for the Hummer EV, we wanted to share our M&R Automotive 50" PRO Roof Light Bar for the 2022+ GMC Hummer EV.   The curved 50" bar sits close to the windshield rather than sticking way up above the roofline. The mounting position is designed to keep the setup relatively streamlined while minimizing wind noise and maintaining full use of the factory windshield wipers.   A few details:   50" curved PRO light bar Fits 2022–2026 GMC Hummer EV Spot + driving beam pattern TIR optics White main beam Amber DRL backglow Approximately 15,410 measured lumens through the lens Mounts to factory accessory locations No cutting or drilling required Wiring runs down the A-pillar toward the AUX connections Designed to minimize wind noise Lifetime warranty Off-road use only     The 50" is an interesting middle ground for anyone who wants the visibility and mounting position of a roof bar without stepping all the way up to the larger 60" setup. For the Hummer EV owners here, would you go with the 50" for the lower-profile look or step up to the full 60"?  
    • My son got a hatchback withe the aero package for like 17k new. Great little car with amazing MPH
    • Yeah, I've given up years ago with that! I was able to load a few when I first joined the site sometime around '07. Then after maybe 20 pics, it said I exceeded the limit. Now every pic I try to post says I've "exceeded 1mb".   ONE MB??? That's Windows 95 ******, lol!! 
    • I get the same results with pictures. Then I figure it out. Then I forget. Screw it.
    • I guess I'm the only one on this forum who can't get effing pics to load here! Do you have to resize them to post, or am I just blocked from uploads?   I have the same luck with automotive electronics ... but this is the ONLY site on the net that I have this problem!   I'd post pics of what I'm working on ... but I CAN'T! 🤬       Just fabbed up the kickdown cable (had to extend the cable mount WAAAY out from the throttle shaft to get a full pull), and parts arrived for the fuel lines on the 940 carb conversion project. Should be able to drive this thing by the end of the day. If not for work, I'd have had this thing done SIX weeks ago.   Got the jetting sorted out last week. Had a real bad tip-in bog that I couldn't seem to correct. Friggin float height was over 11mm too HIGH! eBay purchase, so no wonder everything is screwed up right out of the box! I ended up with a larger dual-squirt accelerator pump jet anyway instead of the single. Also moved the 70 primary idle jet (4 sizes too big out of the box) to the secondary idle circuit, and installed a 57 in the primary. Runs great on the fuel bottle!    Still using the computer for ignition. Going to drive it first and see if I want to go through the project of installing an intermediate shaft with a distributor drive gear, so I can install a block-mounted distributor and run points, 100% computer free. I should do that anyway just from a simplicity / reliability / tunability standpoint. The electronics left me stranded last year a couple times! I can't tweak the timing to my liking right now because of the computer. Tried twisting the cam-driven distributor already ... and the damned thing just reverts back to where it was! That's infuriating. But if it runs well enough I might save that for next season.   Just driving it in and out of the shop to work on other projects, it feels 1,000% more responsive with the carburetor. Also fires MUCH faster when cranking. Can't wait to drive it and see if I got more than 114 ponies, lolol.   Hopefully these don't go 404 like the last post ... https://postimg.cc/gallery/MjhrmZS   Seems like that site went back to dial-up internet! Maybe they'll fix that some day ...
