So far, it seems the following changes are certain:

 

Redesigned front fascia/grill.

Redesigned interior/dash for higher trim level models.

H.P./torque increase for Duramax.

New ZR2/AT4X off-road models

 

These changes are rumored:

 

H.P./torque increase for L8T 6.6L gasoline engine.

10 speed Allison transmission available with L8T gasoline engine.

E-coat frame.

 

Any more?

Not sure but here is the list of my complaints on my 21.  I have an LT diesel but its fairly optioned out LT and some of these things there are no excuse.

 

Nothing in particular order.

 

-Mirrors create blind spots looking forward or left or right, need to be looked at in either size, shape or location

-Bed light should have a button like ford in the bed to turn it off and on

-Power mirrors should have an option to fold them in and out based off turning the key on and off

-Dash/infotainment center is an embarrassment for a 70k truck.   Same crap they have had in there since 2014, the whole thing needs to re done

-The app needs to be free at least remote start etc, like others out there,  stupid I have to pay $14 a month

-Would like to see an electric helper heater for a diesel like ford has,  this truck heats up fairly quick compared to other diesels but that sup heater would be a good thing

-Strap for hood to pull down once open

-cameras on the LT are junk,  bed camera that is on the rear view mirror is not great and you cant see at night with it

-Goes for a lot of GM trucks the whole console on bucket seats could be look at it its just a big spot for junk need to compartmentalize it, just clean it up

-Front end needs some help,  luckily the body color grill and bumper makes it look tolerable the chrome not so much

-For the love of god this goes for lots of brands HD trucks, please design a wheel that doesnt look ridiculous. 

- passenger window show be auto up

Price increases would be standard fare.  Although rumor has it, production may be back to quasi-normal, and "Truck Month" will actually mean something again. :thumbs:

 

Would love to see a sunroof option on the extended cab, and a panoramic sunroof on the crew cab. 🤩

Also for those of us who chose the upfitter switches, install the darned kit during the build.  Tossing a kit in a box when dealers don't even want to do the install is really sad.

An up-rated 5th wheel/goose neck pin rating would be very helpful.  I just looked at a new cattle trailer, and may need to go Dodge/Ford to be "legit" for the road.  In which case, it won't matter what else Chevy does.

What does upgraded FW/GN pin mean?  Capability of truck (GVW, GCW) or hitch weight capability?

Hitch weight capability.  It is well under the payload, which penalizes the truck compared to it's competition.

ETA:  live stock & horse trailers have the axles way back to improve the ride quality. Some equipment trailers are the same setup too.  Gooseneck weight is heavy compared to travel trailers.

From what I can see the conventional max tongue weight is 10% of the max towing capacity and 15% for the gooseneck max tongue weight that you see on your sticker. My truck is a '21 CCSB Duramax, 18,500 max towing = 1850 conventional max tongue and 2775 gooseneck max tongue weight. Gas has a bit lower towing capacity and so those numbers are lower. I don't know how the other brands figure their numbers, but would be curious if they are more than the 10%/15% numbers I'm seeing for our trucks.

Ford & Dodge do not list a max tongue/king pin weight on their capacity label.  So if your payload is 3,500lbs, there is nothing with Ford or Dodge on the door capacity label that says you have to tow less based on the "king pin capacity."  The towing guide states  tongue/king pin should be 10/15% and not to exceed GAWR or GVW/GCW. But does not mandate a specific weight limit on the king pin.

Critical with livestock/horse and some equipment trailers because of how far back the axles are.   I was talking with the local feather lite dealer about a 24' stock trailer.  He said when he's fully loaded he sees tongue weights in excess of the 2,460 rating of my truck.  4,000 lbs of trailer, and somewhere up to 11,000 lbs of beef on the hoof.  This would be under GVW, GAWR, GCW, but about 1,000 lbs over the king pin weight as stated on the label of my current truck.  There isn't enough room behind the axle of a stock trailer to get down to 15%.  So if I want to haul my own cattle, I'd have to change trucks due to the way GM creates the capacity label.

I would doubt that Chevy would handicap themselves like that. Out of curiosity I read the owners manual on a 2022 Ford F-250 and it states “The trailer tongue weight should never exceed 10% of the maximum towing capacity when towing a conventional trailer, and should never exceed 15% of the maximum towing capacity when towing a fifth-wheel or gooseneck trailer.”.  Looks like Chevy is just doing us a favor by putting it on the sticker.

Actually, Ford has the same limitation, they just bury it in the owner's manual.

 

From page 329 of the 2022 F350 Owner's Manual:

 

 "The trailer tongue weight should never exceed 10% of the maximum towing capacity when towing a conventional trailer, and should never exceed 15% of the maximum towing capacity when towing a fifth-wheel or gooseneck trailer."

 

However, since the 7.3 with 4.30 gears is rated at 20,200 pounds for gooseneck (crew cab 4x4), 15% gives you 3030 pounds, versus 2460 pounds for a gas 6.6 GM.

 

This only applies to the 7.3 with 4.30 gears.  With 3.73 gears or any 6.2, they are very close to GM and, in some cases, a bit lower. 

 

With conventional towing, even the 7.3 with 4.30 gears is maxed out at 15,000, so it would only gain 50 pounds in tongue weight.

 

I think this is all tied to the SAE rating.

It is no favor to us. It is a favor to their legal department.

DOT does not regulate king pin weight ratio.  It is GVW, GCW and GAWR. 

when you start hauling different trailers with different product you'll see how limiting this spec on the label is.

The trailer label is a reference for J2807 for that model.  That hitch is good to 15% of 36,000 lbs for GN, 15% of 32,000 lbs for 5th wheel, and 10% of 20,000 lbs for conventional.

 

If you want to 30% pin on a 10k trailer, you can as long you stay within the GAWRs, GVW, payload, and GCW.

 

The other values on the trailer label are reference for what that model is certified to for SAE J2807.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.

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

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

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

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.
