I have the max energy, and it gave me a lot better throttle response, about .7mpg better, took away my top speed limiter, changed shift points, firmness, recalibrated my speedo, and it made it run 50 times better at 5/8s throttle to the floor.

I also have the MaxEnergy It woke mine up good. But the reason I got it was gas mileage and it gave me over 2 mpg on the hwy.

- First Sierra purchase, looking for a 2021 3.0 with the SLT package

  Thank you. I ended up passing on that truck, it was $29k with 99k miles and local to me (Illinois). Played that game once before, passed a much better condition vehicle for one that was closer. $10k in engine work and $6k in transmission work later, it never drove right, and by that point the age & mileage made it worth close to nothing. I now remind myself, a plane ticket and an Uber is a lot cheaper than buying the local truck with issues and having buyer's remorse. Now looking at this for $26k: https://southernwholesale.net/vdp/23915469/Used-2021-GMC-Sierra-1500-SLT-Crew-Cab-Short-Box-2WD-for-sale-in-Trussville-AL-35173 And AutoCheck looks good: https://autocheck.dealercarsearch.com/Default.aspx?VIN=EPWlh9Ow3ceghogyxJFSf4bAycMno2xr4%2fK1GUasMDw%3d&DealerId=25052 This one from Carmax is high ($32k), but some people swear by the Maxcare warranty: https://www.carmax.com/car-detail/27952269 And this one for $33k seems insanely high priced, but it got a new engine at 120k, and no mention of transmission work except for fluid changes: https://www.alejandrocars.com/inventory/2021-gmc-sierra-1500-127941 Just trying to not repeat my first used car purchase, being so underwater I had to sell it to a high school w/vocational shop class because nobody would buy a recently repaired lemon.

  Love it! Reg Cab guys are a small minority. Most available trucks will be white, black or silver. Mine has been perfect so far. But I haul more stuff than people. Reg Cab/Standard Bed are easier to park. No issues with the 2.7L after 50K, however I change the oil every 3K because of the turbo and direct injection.
