Heres my new RST Dmax. Was ordered by a salesman that backed out, i think he did a good job. First off i love the Dmax, perfect mix of my last two trucks, 05 Dmax and 14 1500. Although abviously doesnt have the power of my 05, it still is really awesome pulling grades compared to my 14. But with the better ride of the 1500. The fuel mileage is great as well. 6e8393674f3eab81fb70daedd956a982.jpg

I'd love that truck with the Trail Boss lift added to it.... Or does it have it already ?? I'm hoping the Trail Boss gets the Duramax....

It doesnt, but throwing a 2" lift on it is easy. It has the trailboss wheels and tires allready

Great looking truck.  If I did not do so much stop and go driving (not by choice), I might have been tempted by the diesel.  I came from an LML Duramax so I love diesels, but when my driving requirements changed, I had to go to the gasser.  No regrets on the 6.2L though, the acceleration is awesome and as a side bonus I am averaging 18-19, very reasonable IMO.

That is awesome mileaage especially for city driving. I opted for the 5.3 because i wanted to improve gas mileage from my 2008 Silverado with the 5.3. Im getting about 19 and change but i only have less than 800 miles on it. I test drove a 6.2 in the Denali and At4. Holy. Crap. That thing was a beast for a big truck. I was afraid of losing gas mileage though and was already at the top of my budget.

I will tell you that when I passed 3000 miles, the average seemed to increase.  I don't know why, and honestly I get on the throttle more now than before.  I calculate the tanks by hand, but gotta admit the truck computer average is always very close.  My 2015 HD would vary much more, this 2020 is about spot on for me.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By Chevy Man for Life · Posted

      185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
