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.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
