Following up on the dealer reveal article from earlier this month, we were passed some details that dealers heard at their annual meeting a few weeks ago. 

 

I want to preface this by saying this is still unconfirmed, spotty intel.  BUT... Here is the breakdown of what we are hearing:

  • The 6.7L Rumor now seems unlikely: The gas engine lineup was confirmed to be a 5.7L and a 6.6L V8. No power figures yet, but it looks like Chevy is bringing back the iconic 350-cubic-inch displacement.

  • 1,000-Mile Range Duramax: A surprise detail- GM is targeting a staggering 1,000-mile driving range on a single tank for the light-duty 3.0L Duramax. What would that take to pull off?

I just published a full breakdown on the front page with a deeper dive into the fuel capacity math here:

What does everyone think?

I think you are right with the 36-gallon tank. I see it as an option and not the standard. Just bragging rights for advertising to put out there.

I had an 100 gal fuel tank in the bed with my diesel trucks. I could go forever except when I was pulling my tractor. Going long distances is great except when you have to pee. So you have to stop anyway. I usually toped off with fuel while I was there. Stretch my legs.

Loved my Square body’s with dual tanks. Then switched to Suburbans with 40 gallon tank. Almost cried when I bought my 08 and they didn’t offer the bigger tanks. We all don’t use our trucks for school kids and grocery shopping

I have a 2021, 3.0 diesel and I love it.

I have 212,000 miles on it and it drives like it is brand new.

I would very much be interested in the 36 gallon tank.

If i could, I would do a 35 gal tank on my 2025.

With 1000 mile range, I can pick where i get fuel and where i stop to stretch.

All looks fantastic on paper, as they usually do! If they offered that engine to the aftermarket alongside the new truck, that would be fantastic, too. 

 

The bigger question is, can GM build this thing and make it RELIABLE? Based on their past 19 model year track record, I have serious doubts.

 

Side note - I have a '93 Ram W250 with a Cummins that has a 1,600+ mile range. The stock 30 gallon tank, plus I've got a small toolbox that is mostly fuel - 91 gallons to be exact. :)

 

1,600 is as far as I dare go. Theoretically I should be able to go 1,900 before it stops running.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
