Hey all, 

 

I am going to be replacing a 2015 LTZ 2WD that I absolutely loved. My son totaled it when I let him borrow it. Only thing I didn't live was the lack of 4WD, so I'll fix that.

 

I've looked at all options out there, and I really lean to the Silverado LTZ, but I'm torn on that 22 refresh. Is it really worth waiting for?

I really like my 2021 LTZ. The new interior wasn't worth wait for me. I'm happy with the older one. The premium package is great and I love the 6.2.

Definitely worth waiting for. Even if you don't like the updated interior, the older style (2022 LTD) will likely be selling at a discount once the refresh rolls out.

Biggest difference will be the interior.  The Exterior was changed very slightly ( i think only front clip) 

Engine/Trans all the same.   So you have to think is the interior important to me to pay more.  Everyone will have their own preference.

My Sales Guy that I know very well told me that he would pass on the refresh 22 as it uses the same Nav system that the current Tahoe has and it's really slow and has issues, he told me let them work that out and go for a 23.

If you are planning to order (and the inventory on lots is pretty thin, so you might have to) then it's gonna be a 2022.5 -- refreshed '22.

 

One of the plants starts producing in Feb, the second one starts in Mar -- and they are adding 1500 chev capability to Oshawa, but I don't think I've heard a date for sop of the 1500. 

 

If you want a new one and don't want the refreshed truck you'll likely need to hurry.

Even if it slower it is going to be outdated in few year use android auto with Google map much better. If I was in your shoes I would wait. My biggest bet peeve with my 19 is the interior. The designers done a great job on the exterior but completely ignored the interior. Yes it is functional and easy to use but man it looks so ugly. They rectified that on the 2022.

Thanks all. I decided to wait and made a deposit today to reserve a spot on my dealers allocation list. Hopefully won't have to wait more than a few months. 

 

Anyone have thoughts on engine? I had previously disregarded the diesel option, but the new tow rating of 13k+ combined with a mpg significantly higher than the 6.2 has me leaning diesel.

I love my 5.3. And if you get the 10speed you should be solid. I towed my 30ft ish travel trailer and never thought I was low on power or wanting more

I enjoyed my 5.3 as well but in town mileage is usually 15-16 mpg. Never expected better, but 23-25 out of the Duramax is very appealing. Always hard comparing mileage, fill up cost, etc, and the only knowledge of diesels is from when glow plugs were a thing, lol.

I have the 6.2L and love it very much, but boy does it drink gas. Step dad has a 5.3L with 10 speed and I have been so impressed with it. That combo is amazing. He averages around 22 mpgs or higher. I had two K2 5.3Ls with a 6 and 8 speed. This new combo is light years better than older ones. Even the though the power ratings haven’t changed, the truck just felt way more powerful.

I have the diesel, it is a great engine so far. 

 

We were looking at getting a tahoe for my wife, but I would only buy one if it had the 3.0l diesel (for the fuel economy). The dealerships need to get rid of these ridiculous mark ups on the tahoe. They are selling used ones in my area for 90k.

Glow plugs are still a thing...

But they are now very very fast.

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
