To the OP:   Grumpy Bear does NOT hate ALL 2019/2020 GM trucks.   He just hates yours.

LOL. He just has a different perspective. IMHO - If GM had more GrumpyBears we likely would have a better truck. I’ve been happy with my 2020 3L Duramax. That certainly will trigger a response.

I don't disagree one bit! I'm just tired of seeing 4 straight pages of personal opinion arguing over how the 2015 regular cab v6 is a better truck.  This is a great place for him to convince GM to up their game and/or convince prospective 2019/2020 GM truck buyers that they should be buying the 2015 v6 model instead.  The bickering has run it's course and is taking away from the original thread's purpose.

True. When a thread says would you "re buy" a '19'/'20 he replies NO! It looks like an Edsel. Really? C'mon guy....

The idea of a thread made for another member is suspect, imo, but Op did bring up a point that has long been a frustration of mine.  I own (outright) a '15 V6.  I kick tires regularly at my GM dealership and my salesman phones me on a regular basis.  I am not suffering financially but I need to spend responsibly.  My problem is, I have never encountered a truck that I would gamble on making me as happy as my current truck!

Would you rebuy 2019/2020 GM truck?

 

Would you rebuy gas station sushi?  

 

This is allot of anger over,

"I wouldn't buy it the first time"

 

Evidently the question was actually meant as a plea for sympathetic support of a bad first buy.

Heaven forbid any other opinion.

 

My error.

Please continue your "didn't we make a wise choice' club back slapping session.

I like my 2016 LTZ, but I like my 2019 LTZ way better.  It's more than just the 6.2L and 10 speed.  The 2019 has way more technology when it comes to towing.  And I find it's much easier to get in and out of.  I'm 6' 2" and when I get in my 2016 it feels much tighter.  The 2019 is more spacious and I've never hit my knee when getting in, like I do getting in the 2016.  I also think it looks much better, but that would never be a reason for me to upgrade.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.

      on-wheel cellphone control: 2026 1500 WT (2.7L 4WD std cab)

      This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.

      2026 TurboMax L3B 2.7L: AFM/DFM present/disablable? [2026 Silverado 1500WT: 4WD RC RB 2.7L]3GCNKAEK9TG345558

      Yes.  The 2.7 Turbomax has Active Fuel Management.  It is NOT the same as the V8s.  Totally different system.     Here is an article from GM when the 2.7 came out explaining the cylinder deactivation and the valve lift system.  Starts at the section called "SCS Valvetrain":   New Turbocharged 2.7L 4-Cylinder Engine Powers Full-Size Trucks – TechLink         This is an internet myth going around.  It was alleged that some 5.3s had this mystical 8th digit of the VIN as an "E" which somehow meant it had a new one year only 5.3 that didn't have DFM.  The writer of said article and the person that made the claim conveniently can't count because they posted the VIN.  The 8th digit was a "D" which meant its still the 5.3 with DFM.  The 9th digit of the VIN was an "E" and the 9th digit isn't the engine code.  At all.
