A 2500hd CC SRW LT Gas weights in at 7161 I kbow your 3500hd is slightly heavier let's just say it weighs the same the gvw on a 3500hd gas is 11,100 lbs minus 7161 gives you a 3939 payload capacity that's based in the weight on a Chevy 2500hd CC SRW LT Gas yoyrs should be around 37-3800

Show me your sticker I highly doubt that I could be wrong but I highly doubt that I got a 2021 GMC sierra 3500hd regular cab 8ft bed srw 4x4 sle 6.6l gas with camper springs20210726_204534.thumb.jpg.4ae4b9e04b835609fd7ddbb23b8fca06.jpg and I'm pushing 4430 payload I highly doubt the crew cab is only 376lbs heavier the diesel in your configuration weighs 8200lbs+

Why would I lie?

My axle ratings are the same as your regular cab but my gross weight rating is 11,500 lbs vs your 11,100.  I don’t know what drives that. Could be any of several things.

Also on fuel tank size.  GM relocating the DEF tank under the truck screwed up the tank sizes.  2011-2019 they were all 36 gallon on gas and diesel.

 

2020+up, all gas are 36 gallon.  Diesel crew cab all beds are 36 gallon.  Diesel double cab are 36 gallon long box and 29 gallon standard box.  Diesel regular cab are 28 gallons.

 

GM should have left the DEF tank where it was like on 2011-2019.  

I have ‘21 crew cab AT4 with standard box and I’m pretty sure I have a 29 gallon tank. Wish I had a 36 though.

It's might be worth sneaking up on empty to check.

 

The GM published specs are as newdude posted.

 

2500 crews are all 36 gallon  -- long/standard, gas/diesel

I posted before as well that I feel like my 21 is only about 28-29 gallons as well

      Vehicle Payments

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
