Not sure if anyone else has seen this yet...

 

Next-Gen 2027 Chevy Silverado Revealed Thanks to Patent Images

 

 

Design seems evolutionary.  Pulls from the 2024-current HD and the new 2025-current Tahoe/Suburban.  Cab greenhouse looks identical to the current T1 trucks, but all the sheet metal is new.  

 

Almost like just another facelift to the current truck.  Hopefully the powertrain has more excitement to offer.

Nothing too exciting there. I prefer the current model. I hope the Sierra looks better.

I like everything about it except for one thing, the side mirrors. I really wish they would go back to putting them up higher on the doors right in front of the windows like they used to be. It's a small issues I know, but it's one that I can't seem to get past.

I like this as far as the actual truck looks like this. My only negative is the giant L shaped trim below the headlight. It looks like a massive filler. The current truck is too busy with major elements way out of scale. This is a huge step forward in my mind. I hope they don't break the Sierra, but this makes me hopeful that they get that one right too.

My question would be, considering both former attempts at deactivation most people hated and had issues, what makes them think third time is the charm? I kinda expect the same results with it as the previous two attempts.

Like all generations of GM fullsize, I'll find something to like about it. 19-26 trucks are pretty good looking IMO, hard to beat.

The rocker arm style AFM in the 3.6 LGZ V6 2017-current have been rather reliable (Colorado/Canyon/Acadia/Blazer/XT5/XT6). 

 

Big thing with this system from the looks of it, is it eliminates having active lifters and absolutely destroying camshafts requiring major engine repairs.  Hopefully it has some sort of failsafe in where if there is an issue with valves not closing/opening for deactivation that it lets the pushrods/lifters continue operation without being compromised (bent rod, chewed cam, etc.).

Personally I wish they would go back old school. Every vehicle I have owned that has had AFM/DFM and I disabled it, didnt change my MPG that was anything noticeable. The previous 1500 I had, a 2022 Silverado ZR2, had the AS/S and DFM disabled along with 0W40 oil and no noticeable change in MPG. IMHO, most of this stuff seems more gimmicky and cost more in the long run to both the OEM and consumer

 

Luckily, this time around, I just purchased a 2500 with the 6.6L gas so nothing but engine there.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
