How accurate is this video:

 

To my eyes, some of the footage seems inaccurate. One shot has a motor w/ a clutch instead of a flywheel. Another has upswept headers rather than cast iron manifolds.

 

And really Mary Barracuda pleased that it's an ICE... I'm not sure why she's on the 'teaser' shot.

 

Finally isn't the new motor scheduled to come out in MY2027?

It's an AI video.

 

The engine being shown is the LSA engine, same one in the CTS-V and ZL1 Camaro from the 2009ish and beyond years.

AI slop.  

 

2026 HD is unchanged just about across the board except for a couple color and option tweaks.  We already have 2026s on the ground, the plants have been making them since about August/September.

Thanks guys. Something didnt seem right to me about it.

 

Also, about the engines that were being assembled, are they still in production & are they built in the same facility as the truck motors? To my uneducated eye, the process seemed more low production/handbuilt vs high volume. Then again I was never in the St Catherines plant during an actual shift.

Tonawanda plant.  You can see the shirt on the one guy.  Tonawanda does the LT2 for Corvette still and they do 5.3, 6.2 and 6.6 truck production.  Not sure if they are still doing the LT4 supercharged, I think that got moved as only Cadillac is using that engine now, but Tonawanda used to do it for C7 Corvette and 6th gen Camaro ZL1. 

 

They are also getting $888 million for 6th gen small block which starts production 2027.

 

The footage in that video looks to be LT2 Corvette production.  

 

GM to invest $888 million in Tonawanda Propulsion plant

Googling to see if any update on St Kitts

I wonder if a lot of that will be out the window w/ the Brightdrop van being discontinued?

I got my 2026 6.6l gas almost a month ago now. Build date was August. So far I love it but man they should pay more attention for QC lol.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
