I have the GMPP exhaust. Sounds great in the day-to-day driving, but is a bit loud under heavy load. Pulling something that big might get annoying.

I went from a 2014 z71 gmc with 5.3 to a 2019 6.2 4x4 max two Chevy. Their is no comparison in power.  This one is a beast. With my 6k lb trailer I can pass people with ease.  The 5.3 with the 3.42 6

Love mine, tows easy, rides pretty well unloaded considering.  Doesn't seem like the difference between stock 3.23 gears and the NHT 3.42s is that great, but my fuel mileage is nowhere near what a lot

With a trailer that long, I’d be more concerned with that than the weight. Just my opinion, but that’s too much length for a half ton stability.

I have the intake and exhaust on mine. Just drove 1800 miles with it from Virginia Beach, VA to San Antonio, TX. The exhaust didn't bother me one bit. I took I-40 all the way across Tennessee.

With my 6k lb trailer I can pass people with ease.  The 5.3 with the 3.42 6 speed would just groan.  Towing in hills is where the 10 speed shines. You rarely hear the engine rev.  I do wish fuel economy was a little better while towing.  I'm starting to get around 10 but was doing 8 for the longest time.  I added airlift bags to the back and it handles very smooth.

Pretty much my same experience.  I'll never own another 5.3 as long as I tow.

Bringing back an old post...apologies.

 

I see there were people on here that have this package, so looking for some assistance from anyone w/ a 2020 w/the NHT package (I think a 2021 would be the same...).  Can you please tell me the PN of the rear spring and rear shock?  It should be listed right on the spring and shock with a label I believe...

 

Thanks in advance

I implore you to go to that site and actually find what I'm looking for.  That site doesn't even list any leaf springs. 

 

I looked for over an hour last night, and could not find an answer for what I wanted - thus why I asked here.  The GM parts sites list a lot of "option codes" that do not correlate to the RPO codes.

I did look and found the shocks.  They do not list the leaf springs, for those I go to GMPartsDirect and or GMPartsGiant.  Easier to find with a VIN but not always.

 

I'll give it a look but need to know if you are looking for RWD, 4x4, Double Cab, Crew Cab, Short Bed, Regular, Long, etc.

None of the shocks or springs are listed for the NHT package, or as they call it, the Enhanced Towing Package.  I found two trucks online that had the NHT package, used their VIN numbers, and it stiill showed "everything" - multiple options for springs, and multiple options for shocks.  

 

...thus asking someone to look at their truck for me.

I found 3 different rear shocks for a 2020 GMC Sierra with the NHT package on ACDelco's website.

 

I did the same thing you're doing a couple of years ago with my NHT.  Does your truck have a spring pack consisting of a total of 3 springs?  NHTs have 4.  

 

221849HD is the Dayton part number.  My eyeballs have done all they could on this today, will have to rest them and try again later.

 

Shocks:

 

4x4 - 84458380

RWD - 84657762

4x4 - 84805970

The one shock shows w/o enhanced towing (which is NHT, I believe), and the other two don't specifically say (thus why I'm weary of buying_.  With the springs, thanks for the info on those - gives me something to run with.  Appreciate it

On my screen they all say it on the ACDelco website using a desktop PC.  Confirmed those three also at GMPartsGiant as well.  

 

Well, this gives you a starting point until someone with one chimes in.  You might have to search them out and send a private message.

I'm seeing it on the Delco site only.  Thanks.  Definitely gives me a starting point!

Check your inbox.  I can even do you one better.  If you live in California and want to come pick up the rear leafs and shocks, they're sitting in a box in my garage.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By newdude · Posted

      I see some red flags.   - No mention in the Carfax if the oil pump belt was changed.  LM2s had a 150,000mi service interval, and its got 164,245mi on it.   - If something happens to the transmission valve body, the special coverage is expired by mileage.  That will likely be an out of pocket expense, with zero or near zero GM participation if something happened even though its in by time.   - 2020 LM2s seem to need timing chains after 80,000mi at some point.  They fixed this end of 2020/starting 2021 model year engines.     - Long oil change intervals.  7,000-8,000mi on average, probably close to 0% or perhaps to or beyond 0% on the OLM.  Lots of them not at the dealer which makes me wonder how much of the oil ran through that truck was the proper Dexos D rated 0w20 oil and not just gas engine 0w20, which is not the same at all.     - Long fuel filter changes, again likely taking the fuel filter life to 0% or more.  First one went 28,603, second was done 43,094 miles later at 71,697, from there another 46,452mi to 118,149mi, and then the most recent one 37,026mi later at 155,175mi.  So counting its original fuel filter, its had only 4 fuel filters on it.  No bueno IMO.     Good news?    - It has had only two warranty trips to the dealer.  The first free service (end of December 2020 on the Carfax), and the transmission reprogram recall (end of August 2025 on the Carfax).     - Truck did a LOT of moving, so that might explain the lack of emissions related repairs like bad NOX sensors, bad exhaust temp sensors, bad glow plugs, etc.     The "emissions system checked" could just be how something was flagged for Carfax.  GM dealers have to do SAVI reports for warranty repair orders so they scan the truck.  So its possible that is there for that?

      Thank you, @Z45!   NOTE - No all repair shop/Dealers reports to Carfax   That is my main concern.  The CARFAX looks way too clean for a 6 year old anything with 164,245 miles.  Even something known for reliability (like many Toyotas) typically has a lot more replaced, like a Nav screen, interior trim, shock/strut, or brake pads.  And surely the last set of tires (installed at ~58k miles) would be bald unless those were all highway miles.   I'm tempted to pay a local dealer to look up the VIN, but am not sure if that will be worthwhile.  Last time I did this, it was 100% useless, and I felt scammed - they noted the bumper was replaced years ago and that's it.  A 5-year old could spot the accident damage, even though nothing was on the CARFAX.   After giving the dealer a call, the truck may have a hard shift, but they have to verify with their mechanic if that's even a concern.  And I've test driven about a dozen of these now, many near Chicago, and half the trucks shift hard/odd at all throttle positions.  The ones with aftermarket lifts/larger tires shift terrible, and 3 stock trucks shifted so violently I thought the transmission valve body was going out.   At this point I'm conflicted, as I need a vehicle, and am coming up short locally.  Northern trucks in this price range tend to have either multiple owners, a lot of mods (lifts/oversized tires without re-gearing), and are generally in rougher shape.   If this truck showed up in your neighborhood for $27k and you had to purchase it sight-unseen, with the possibility of needing a 10L80 rebuild, torque converter, or rear end - would you do it?  I'm convinced most of the 10L80 trucks I test drove are broken, they can't all shift so bad, with massive flares/slipping/lurching and mis-matched downshifts like a teen driver learning stick.

      From the spy shots, the front end does look like it's borrowing some styling cues from the Canyon. I'm more interested in the powertrain news than the screens though. If the 3.0 diesel survives into the next generation, that alone will keep a lot of current owners interested.

      I had it tested at the hardware store, and it showed no chip. He went out to started the truck today and it wouldnt fire. He waited an hour then tried again, and it started 3 times. In a row. My 2000 cavalier did not have a chip key, but still had a security system.  🤷‍♀️
