There may be other reasons, but as far as I know, max trailering package trucks don’t get shutters. Mine doesn’t have them.

That explains that.  I have the Max Trailering package.

My 3.0 doesn't have that fin either. Looked at another 3.0 on dealers lot and it doesn't have it either. I wouldn't get too concerned about it as I think they come from factory that way.

Speaking of these, do they open in warmer temps? Mine have been closed so far.

Thought they all had shutters to shape the truck like an aerodynamic brick at high speeds. Have to look carefully through the front grille to see them edgewise; they are open when vehicle is stopped.

All of them do, but the trail bosses/AT4 dont.

in 2019 model year I couldnt get them optioned in the Trailboss. Maybe the salesman didnt know how to use the GM site well? 

He told me that the NHT (max trailering) does have them available (why would they even have them available?)

 

My Bad, thank you for bringing this to my attn. ill do a little more research,

No account yet, but 2020 Silverado with 3.0l Duramax here. Same issue; I noticed the other day that the top shutter on the passenger side was missing. Checked for damage thinking maybe it got knocked loose by an errant bug, but there was no damage to the plastic. I assumed it must have been deleted, and planned to check with the dealership about it. Glad to see that it was probably intentional, though I'm curious why. I am thinking it has to do with the location of the air intake plenum and how much air this thing inhales.

I have a 2024 with a Duramax 3.0L. It does have the active grill and is also missing on the passenger side. I’m beginning to believe it’s missing to keep the engine cool if they stick shut from a malfunction.

Blade missing in front of the horns is so horn sound is not reduced when shutters are closed. 

Most likely so DOT requirements are met for horn sound projection.

Just brought my `25 1500 with 5.3 home today. NHT package. No shutters here.

 

 

Correct.  I think NHT and then all VYU plow prep do not have shutters.  All others do.

Per GM

Sierra/Silverado Models equipped with upper and lower shutters, the top passenger-side louver/vane of the upper shutter is intentionally missing from the shutter assembly for airflow reasons. Do not replace the shutter for the missing louver/vane.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
