Good find! That diesel with the 3.73 will likely be my next choice even though I cant it on TB . I will opt for the RST instead

Haven't looked at the configurator yet. Is there an option for a non-leaky rear slider for the 2021s direct from the factory?

Yeah, I wish they would allow 3.73 on everything. Makes too much sense to offer it on the TB I guess. I’m leaning towards the diesel too, but holding out for the refresh.

2022 for the full refresh. 2021 has only very minor equipment changes, wireless CarPlay and AA is the biggest one. A few new colors as well. There was talk of a new console for 2021 but I’m not seeing it in the configurator.

 

Ironically the HD trucks get more notable changes for 2021, and they’ve been around less time. Like the look of these Z71 sport packages on LT and LTZ.

I thought the interior upgrades were supposed to hit in 2021.  But from the early car magazine reviews, I guess the General doesn't care about losing more market share.

I really wish GM would allow color painted bumpers on all models as an option instead of being forced into the RST 

I do like the new Z71 HD look , looks really good to me with painted bumpers

COVID-19 screwed it up. It has nothing to do with marketshare. Iirc, Silverado and Sierra combined outsold F-150 for 2020Q3. It's also why we now have to wait until MY2023 for the ZR2 Silverado.

It was. Pandemic screwed it up, so we have to wait another year.

Certain sources reported 2021, based on nothing but wishful thinking. Suppliers knew from the start it was intended to be 2022.
 

The basic design and development of the pickup refresh was done well before the pandemic (and the strike, which feels like ages ago). But obviously they had to direct resources into the T1 SUV first.

I really think ( want to believe ) we have some nice updates coming in 22 besides exterior/interior 

10 speed in all engines!!! Even the big bad 6.6 HD motor

I don't think the half ton trucks will get the L8T. The L8T makes less horsepower (401 @ 5200rpm vs 420 @ 5600rpm), and almost the same torque (464 @ 4000rpm vs 460 @ 4100), than the L87. The block is cast iron instead of aluminum, thus increasing weight. Compression ratio is lower (10.8:1 vs 11.5:1). The bore is exactly the same (103.25mm), while the stroke is minimally longer (98mm vs 92mm). I'm not an expert, but based on the numbers I think the larger displacement may have to do more with cooling capability since the L8T is expected to haul heavier loads. With the half ton trucks maxing out at 13,400 lbs, the L87 is perfect for what it's being used to do. And, given the L87 is based on the LT1, it's going to have the tooling paid for already, which makes it a more profitable engine for GM to produce and sell.

 

My source for both engine specs is GM Authority.

The HDs also got some nice new power steps. I wish they’d offer these on the 1500.

I actually meant 10 speed for the HD 6.6 not that I hope they would offer the 6.6 in the half tons . ( but i do agree with you ) 

 

The 6.2 is plenty good ( however the kid in me wishes GM would up the outputs on their 5.3 and 6.2 given we are now 8 years of same output)

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.

      Oil Consumption

      By diyer2 · Posted

      I have changed oil and filter for years by starting a cold engine to warm oil up, let it run 5-10 minutes depending on temperature. Drain until it starts dripping, refill with quantity from owners manual or get it close.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I changed the factory fill oil in the rear diff of my truck for the first time today and the miles is close to 9000 on the truck. There was a lot of fines on the magnet, a very thick layer but working it through my fingers it all felt like mush and as most know it appears like graphite, so no surprise chunks anyway. Certainly was time to do it from my thinking and could have been done sooner but the oil didn't look awful but sure wasn't new looking and never expected it to either. I did use some solvent to help me clean out the bottom area of the axle housing, just get any other stuff settled at the bottom washed and wiped out of the housing for the bit of effort it takes. I used Amsoil Severe Gear 75W90 in the easy packs to try out what they are like and I used up 4 packs and didn't spill much at all in the process but did take all four of the packs and go to the work bench and emptied them into a measuring container and there certainly was some in them that added up to something, then poured that into one of the easy packs and squirted in what I could get out of it. I would say the level is within 1/8th of an inch of being level with the threads at the fill plug so just the perfect amount. Once again, more than what GM says the fill volume is but computes with what others are adding to their rear diffs as well.
