  1. Sure...but there is no "update" to be had. GM has not issued any support for this.
  2. No. Why would it "go away"? There is a button to disable it though still. On the driver's side of the dash now.
  3. "I see around town" That's a small dot in the total picture. They are popular in YOUR town. They aren't popular where it counts. Sales data.
  4. It is not supported on the trucks. Period.
  5. The one you posted is correct. Just the 4 bolts are one time use. The other two don't need to be replaced.
  6. No. If they were rammed in with an impact, they are stretched and need to be replaced. Hence one time use torque to yield fasteners.
  7. In case you don't read these until later today... PPE makes me "think" that you have a 3.0 Duramax. Which you'd want quantity 4 of the 85628208 seal and NOT the 85628205. IF you have a gas truck 10 speed, you need one of the 85628205.
  8. 4 vertical bolts. They are one time use torque to yield fasteners and should not be re-used. Yes, they should be torqued to the proper spec.
  9. Is this supposed to be in English? "close to 100 fake, new brake pads sign on the dash board" Pull the wheels off. Check the brake pad thickness. Check the sensors out. You could have good pads and the sensors aren't in to the worn out position, but have an electrical fault with the sensor or the plug wiring to the sensor.
  10. Gas or diesel??????????? You did not indicate. Your topic just says "2022 10L80".
  11. That is a huge misconception. Bigger does not always equal safer. Modifying does not make it safer either, with exceptions. Think of this. Your truck in stock form is capable of emergency maneuvers, proper stopping distances, its handling is designed around the factory wheel/tire packages, etc. 37s and a lift? Now you've affected your braking distances, handling and ride control. You've raised your center of gravity higher. Your front visibility is now obstructed more than stock, same for your rear. Does it look cooler? Yes. Does it now work as good as it did from factory on road? NO. As for my mention of exceptions? Say you had a sedan or crossover. They typically come with all season tires. If you swap out for a performance all season or a summer tire, you improve your car by lowering its stopping distance (better braking because of traction) and improve the handling (regular and emergency) of the vehicle. That is an actually improving modification. My old 2019 LD 1500, I ran UHP all season tires on 20in wheels in a factory offered size. It improved all aspects of how it drove over the Duratracs it came with from the factory in the stock 18" tire.
  12. Is it though? Like LTZ, not a high take rate. Current Sierra has AT4, Denali and Elevation as its main bread winners. Each trim accounting for 25-35% of sales for Sierra. SLT makes up about 10-15% at best. Like others have predicted here for GMC, it will be: - Pro (equal to WT Chevy) - Elevation (replaces SLE and SLT) - AT4 (and X) - Denali (and Ultimate).
  13. There are knowns and unknowns. Knowns: - LT, RST and LTZ names/trims are gone. The new "Silverado" trim level replaces all 3 of those. You should be able to configure the Silverado trim to match the equipment levels of those three trims. Unknowns: - Custom. No mention of what engines it will have access to. Dual exhaust being standard does seem to confirm a V8 option for the Custom trim though. My "guess" is that Custom will have access to the Turbomax and the 5.7. I could be wrong though. The current Custom trim went 2.7 Turbomax only the last 4-5 years, and only had a single side exit exhaust. - 40-20-40. I would imagine that is NOT going away. They only focused on showing the new interior on the top trims, Trail Boss, ZR2 and High Country, hence the images shown are just bucket seats up front. The info should start coming fairly quickly over the next weeks and months. Production is supposed to start up later this year, so when the order guide launches, you'll be able to see the configurations of engines, cabs, seating, etc.
  14. Boy do they have some margins in that to come down $5000!!!!! Does it change my thoughts? Not really. That's only one thing addressed. The transmission. Still needs an oil pump belt if that hasn't been done yet either, which per the Carfax, looks like no. I still don't like the long service intervals on the oil and the fuel filters. And then still, timing chain because 2020.
  15. "Pre existing lifter damage" What exactly do you mean by that? You should be asking for service records. Any warranty work performed as odds are if a truck has had a lifter or lifters and camshaft replaced that is a 2022.5+up, it was likely done under warranty. These DI engines have normal ticking noises such as the fuel injectors and high pressure fuel pump, so some noises will definitely be normal. A lifter that isn't pumping hydraulically all the way will stand out as it will be an intermittent tick, not a steady one. So like "tick_______tick tick_____tick_________tick tick tick___tick____tick_" It will most likely go away too about 5-7 minutes of run time. That truck would need a lifter or lifters but not because of the deactivation lock pin failing, but because its not building oil pressure to it right away. A collapsed lifter will be very obvious. It will be snapping or popping out the intake.
