Interesting, I haven't heard any rumors or information about the displacement changes on the 5.3 and 6.2; along with nothing new about the 8.3 diesel.

 

I wonder if the 6.6 currently in the HDs will be moving down to the light duty, which would be odd because all the tuning and engineering done on that engine was not done for the light duty consumer.

I dont have info on the details of the 6.6 in the 1500's other than the displacement and it will have AFM/DFM crap on it and likely a sizeable EGR so if its the same as the one used in the HD it will ruin all that makes the L8T good. 

The 5.3 and 6.2 are gone, not just changed. 

The 8.3 Duramax is entirely new and will have changes to the charge air cooler system along with other items.

Well, the diesel lives *unless* those cooling inlets in the exhaust tips are on a gas truck which means we get gas particulate filters on the V8s.  You can see the cooling cuff/venturis on the pass. p

Looks like the GMT-900's used the L76 engine until 2009 from what google told me.   So 2007.5-2009.

Both the Chevy and International versions of the joint venture trucks use the current Duramax. 

I believe it is detuned from the pickup application. Thats been common for the Dmax in applications other than pickups.

Yes but it is a different RPO code due to there being a smaller turbo, different fuel injectors and different state of tune. 

 

Prior generations carried the same RPO code as the pickups and de-tuned but LBZ was skipped.  They used the LB7 2003-2004, the LLY 2004.5-2006 and then went straight to LMM for 2007-2009.

'If it's not broke, why fix it?'

 

My pet peeve is the 'chrome' inlay in the floor trim for the front doors. I can see if a person isn't careful w/ their boots getting in & out they will be scraped up in no time.

 

Does GM's braintrust not know that some of us use them as trucks, not cars?

Do not lower the trucks, clearance is one of the top needs for people who buy trucks to use them for their intended purpose. 🤔

I wonder if the rear window leak will be finally fixed?

 

Is it around the outside where the glass meet the body (not the @ the sliding portion)? If yes, maybe tell the beancounters 'X' amount of urethane is required to effect a proper seal...

In reference to Ford offering 2 tone paint I just saw an F150 with charcoal as the primary upper & lower colour & red for the secondary. It's probably too late for the body design to be changed, but I find 'the swoop' on the 1500 fender & door doesn't lead itself to a 2 tone paint, unless it was the less popular version from back in the day where the lower portion of the truck was the secondary colour.

I prefer the rear HDMI ports over what appears to be a copy of a C4 ZR1 exhaust tips on a pickup.

 

No doubt the new engines will be great. Not excited that the interior appears to favor a giant open billboard screen for the instrument cluster versus the nicely inset and shrouded cluster the trucks have today.

 

The rear window appears to be fixed, it's a one-piece rear glass design with a portal for the center opening section like the Fords have. It's probably more cost effective to build that way, too.

 

Going from a 327 back to a 350 or 400 V8 should make a lot of the oldtimers happy 😉

Im not sure if any of the braintrust realised that some people would be disappointed when the base V8 was reduced to a 5.3, probably not born when 327s were common. Likely never heard of 'bigger is better' either.

 

Only thing I can think of is to differentiate it from the 6.0 L which were never offered in the half tons.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.

      on-wheel cellphone control: 2026 1500 WT (2.7L 4WD std cab)

      This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.

      2026 TurboMax L3B 2.7L: AFM/DFM present/disablable? [2026 Silverado 1500WT: 4WD RC RB 2.7L]3GCNKAEK9TG345558

      By newdude · Posted

      Yes.  The 2.7 Turbomax has Active Fuel Management.  It is NOT the same as the V8s.  Totally different system.     Here is an article from GM when the 2.7 came out explaining the cylinder deactivation and the valve lift system.  Starts at the section called "SCS Valvetrain":   New Turbocharged 2.7L 4-Cylinder Engine Powers Full-Size Trucks – TechLink         This is an internet myth going around.  It was alleged that some 5.3s had this mystical 8th digit of the VIN as an "E" which somehow meant it had a new one year only 5.3 that didn't have DFM.  The writer of said article and the person that made the claim conveniently can't count because they posted the VIN.  The 8th digit was a "D" which meant its still the 5.3 with DFM.  The 9th digit of the VIN was an "E" and the 9th digit isn't the engine code.  At all.
