If that does not emphasize the uselessness of most of the bickering related to the creation of this thread, I don't know what does. ??‍♂️

IMHO - If GM had more GrumpyBears we likely would have a better truck. 

IDK. I kind of like not having a bench front seat in my truck anymore. And not having to throw my shoulder out in the McDonald's drive thru is nice, too. ?

BIGGEST waste of gas on the planet is a fast food drive through.

Before RONA I would park and walk in and save a quart of gas. Eat on the tailgate with pup. Now........................

Pack a lunch.

No worries Ryan. It's like playing with my sisters kids. They'll get bored soon enough and find a new toy. Squirrel!                                                                    emoji102.png

It bodes well for the respect we all have for GB's (and Pepper's) contributions to this forum.  A roast, maybe?  Anyway, thanks, GB!

On my trip East I handle road food three ways. First day I ate breakfast at home and packed a lunch. Day two loves truck stop wifey got lunch while I pumped gas, no wasted time. Day three chick fil-a app. Food was ready when I showed up. In reality according to my mileage indicator, sitting in a drive thru. My overall fuel mileage was impacted very little from drive thru. Of course getting lunch at 11 instead of 12 helps. In my last 6 years retirement I used 4 trip vehicles. 14 GMC, 15 Santa Fe, 17 Camry, 11 Genesis . The Genesis by far was the less tiring long distance. To think it sat in the garage all that time. Damn. And was paid for.

      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."

      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.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.
