GM Inside News

 

I can only hope the new Silverado/Sierra is in the same ballpark. Looks GREAT!

It's OK. Not great, but shows a lot of promise. However, the exterior looks like a 4Runner from the back. Also, where's the information on the mpg's that the DOD will provide?

 

Definetly need to see it in other colors and from different angles.

Hmmm. Well, looks somewhat promising. I don't like the front end / grill area, but the rest I think is OK. Kinda looks smallish to me... like more of a Trailblazer size. I also see some mini-van genes in there also. The interior looks good. The window/door lock area and the center stack have a german look to them. I hope the tactile feel will be german too.

Does anyone know when the 2500 Suburbans will be released (I have a GM certificate that will expire next summer)?

 

Also, will the engines on the 2500 have Displacement on Demand?

 

Finally, is this the end of the big block engines (I presume the 6.2L is based on the small block)?

 

Thanks!

Wow nice job GM. I guess I will not be buying this version one either. Look at the passenger rear windows. They will not go all the way down. My salesmanager had one and the windows went down like 6 inches. What a joke.

 

And no Diesel? Please say these are really early specs.

 

No hide in the floor rear seats. Honestly they have to start thinking outside the box. I do like the dash board but was hoping to see a center console shifter and not a column shifter.

Not for me... The steering wheel is even more offseet to the center, the rear seats still have to be pulled out...

 

Unlike others though, I think the grill has taken a big step closer to acceptable. More like the TB front end, and less like that nasty Av front end.

So my general take on this is that a change has been due - for better or worse. The design certainly has a more modern look. But it exhibits evidence of copy-cat from other designs already on the street.

 

Interior dash looks very good. Again, much more modern and up with current design. But I'll bet those seats won't be as comfy as the 2000-2006 seats! :jester:

 

Which brings up an question.......if we have OBS and NBS, what are we going to call 2007-on? :confused:

I thought about the same thing myself....

 

How 'bout... "OOBS" For Old-Old Body-Style ('88-'98) and "NNBS" for New-New Body Style ('07-up) and we'll just leave our '99-'06's as "NBS" :crazy::confused:

Pretty predictable. Looks like they took a trailblazer and the current bodystyle and melted them together. I think we all seen this coming. I was hoping for a "beefier", chiseled look, but maybe they are saving it for the Escalade. Interior looks good. They could of done better with some chrome, retro bezels though (kind of like the enemy, Expedition). If the trucks mimic this look, they will still have the soft curves of the group. When are they going to go for the bold, big hood, high stance look?

Well the styling is an improvement over the current Chevy models... not my taste as I never liked the front ends when Chevy and GMC split there styling. I like the interior it looks much more modern with clean lines.

 

I am wondering where they are going to go with the HD pick-line though...GMCs are in need of a face lift, as well as improvements on the front suspensions, they are defiantly being left in the dust by Dodge and Ford as far as front axle capacity(very important for us up north here with snow plows). I also think GM should offer the center console on Regular cab trucks as a factory option. The middle seat area is useless for many of us with regular cabs, and a storage area there would be a welcome addition. GM also has to stop putting "wagon wheels" on these trucks. I like the 2006 trailer towing mirrors, but then missed the ball when they did not put running lights out there like the fords and not making the main passenger side mirror convex. Oh and how about actually making the mirrors sit level instead of having that slight upward angle to them… These small mistakes that always make me wonder what they are thinking. :jester::confused:

      5.3 / 6.2 valve covers / oil burning

      By FiLo · Posted

      Any update if the new valve cover help with the oil consumption?  I have a 2014 GMC sierra and my truck is consuming a lot of oil so I’m wondering if replacing the driver side valve cover will stop some of the oil consumption. Thanks

      primary drive belt tensioner

      By Deadwood · Posted

      I bought belts and pulleys for my '20 L5P at Rock Auto a couple years ago. I have used them for many years, and almost always save significant money, especially when I buy maintenance stuff ahead of time.   They carry many OEM parts, which is all I use unless an aftermarket is shown to be same/superior, or if it is an insignificant part or unavailable OEM part anywhere else. RA is usually lower priced, often by a bunch, but parts are sometimes unavailable or out of stock, and I do shop around and sometimes find better prices at other sites.   Be aware that you pay shipping, and if you buy multiple items and they are coming from different warehouses, the shipping can kill the advantage. Planning ahead is best if possible.   If you have a transmission service in the near future, check out their OEM (AC Delco ULV) fluid, usually MUCH less than anywhere else.

      10L1000 anyone with High Mileage ? I hate Damocles....

      By Deadwood · Posted

      New member here, very long time occasional guest. Saw this thread, thought it would be a good time to contribute someting. It is only my experience and not a claim that everyone will have the same.   I bought my '20 3500 L5P new and have put 99.9% (literally) of it's current ~400k miles on it myself, with over 50% of that towing loads between 4k to 15k, and to me this truck has been nothing short of amazing. For the first 235k I had zero issues, and from there until 321k I replaced a NOx sensor, two failing glow plugs, and three of the notorious injector connectors. I believe this truck is in part, a testament to good luck, but also good care and following a decent maintenance schedule (I also keep meticulous records.) As a result, it looks as good as a well cared for 70k rig, up and down, inside and out.   At some point before that 321k mile mark I began to get a little spooked about the 10L1000, especially the valve body. Word of mouth about potential issues prompted me to jump on the net to sift through all the noise and determine what all the fuss was about. I routinely take long trips, coast-to-coast and points in between, so roadside breakdowns can be '...a thousand miles from nowhere' and a bit of a challenge, and though I had no issues, my guard was up and activated.   And then I stumbled across a chance to salvage some parts off a new 2025 that had been wrecked in transport. I grabbed a few wear items (alternator, pulleys, etc.) and on a whim asked what the ten speeder would cost me. It was cheap...really cheap. I knew some changes had been made in the '24+ version 10L and were supposedly not compatible, but I called service/parts at my local Chevy dealer and asked why and they didn't know. A call to a well known aftermarket transmission outfit revealed it was very likely it would be fine, but to them not 100% sure.   Because it was cheap (really cheap) and I was spooked, I took the chance. Had it installed by a local shop and it worked like a champ, shifted just like the original. At it's first service at 37k, I had the shop put in a Next Gen valve body kit, which after some initial hiccups and rough shifts, smoothed out though with somewhat firmer shifting.   All that said, I have a very serious concern about my newer transmission as just two weeks ago it suddenly began to exhibit a strong reluctance to engage forward or reverse. It was a bit past due anyway so I took it in for service. The reason it was sticking was due to 'glitter' in the fluid clogging the filter...not good folks, often indicates a converter giving out. We ended up going ahead with the new filter and fluid, first to see if it would move and shift, and then if so buy me a little time. It did, and I've driven it over a thousand miles and it is shifting smooth, no noises or slipping. Regardless, it looks like a third gearbox is in my future so I can resume taking long trips with some confidence. In the very short term, my curiosity will have me examining the fluid to check how much glitter has reappeared.   An earlier poster had alleged, in the context of 10L100 failures, that it is another example of how we seasoned citizens somehow descend into hysteria, lose control of our senses, and react irrationally after brief encounters with the idiocy of the internet infosphere. Let me say (and I have used and abused said internet since it's infancy) there is no segment of the populace that has a corner on over-reaction to digital garbage. Just as my offering of experience in this arena is purely anecdotal and should not be considered gospel or all-encompassing, I believe it is still worthwhile information to consider, along with other relevant anecdotal experiences about things like complex transmissions, especially when balanced with other sources.   So to answer the original question, yes I got high miles out of my first 10L, trouble free for 321,000. Now I really wonder how much longer it would have went. Did I 'overreact' to the internet ghouls by replacing a 'good' one with a 'bad' one? Maybe. Who knows, the thing might have taken a puke a 100 miles later. So I'll just fix it again, then move on and start thinking about all the other stuff that will eventually wear out. It still has the original brakes (they're at ~60%), original injectors/pump, turbo, water pump, etc....pretty much original everything. Knock on wood.

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      By swathdiver · Posted

      At peak temperature.  They get to cool down and warm up more, especially those with the external cooler.  I have three GMT900s and one of them has over 225K on its original transmission.  Fluid gets changed about every 36K miles, all of it.     It's not the bean counters, it was the government.  They had to meet CAFE standards and other government requirements.   To get around that, we tune them and modify them to our liking.
