Bought a 2024 in June. Now with 4000 miles. Been an absolutely amazing truck. Pull a 16k fifth wheel at high elevation. Zero oil consumption. Came from a 2020 Duramax.

@matthewanderson9912 9 ай бұрын

I had a 2020 Duramax too. I loved the truck. Power was insane by comparison (pulling, no real difference empty). Fuel mileage was not what i expected though. Only 2 mpg better in all the same conditions/situations. Ultimately that truck just kept the check engine light on. In its defense I think it was a bad ECM because after they replaced that the check engine light made it over 2 weeks and hadn’t came back on but I traded it away. But no joke from November 2020 to May 2021 it never made it 2 full weeks without having atleast one check engine light come on. Always was “lost communication with TCM”. If it would have been red (it was white) I would have kept it longer to see if it was truly fixed but I was fed up with it.

Beautiful truck. Red Hot is the best color. Glad that you’re liking it. The GM trucks really do tow better and just handle weight in general better than the Fords and especially the Ram 2500s. The 2020+ GMs are incredible. My 2022 has 32,000 miles and so far it’s been so good. If interest rates were better I’d turn my 6 speed into a 10 but I honestly can’t complain about the 6.

I love your videos and I love my 22 gasser the same way you do your 24. But....let me try to clear up some misnomers concerning the 10 speed trans. It is a 10L1000. Just like the one on the diesel. But it's not. The gasser 10L1000 has a smaller torque converter and less clutches. They are of the same size but less clutches in the clutch pack. Now it would be cool if they were the exact same trans. for reliability but they are in fact not. They have the same designation larger number (10L1000) but are totally different if you add the dash to the actual part number. I was curious about that when they first came out as well and couldn't imagine GM putting in the same exact 10 speed diesel trans attached to a gasser, it was confirmed they are not the exact same beast. Just FYI. But I'm not saying it's not a great transmission. I think it is, I love my 6 speed but how can you go wrong with extra gears right? Keeping the gasser in its torque curve with the 10 speed is amazing!! I think it's awesome! I was just trying to clear some things up is all.

My dump trailer with grass and equipment weighs in at 6500lbs. Do you think the '24 Chevy 2500 6.6 Gasser will be able to handle towing this rig day in and day out? I don't go up and down a lot of hills mainly flat land. Do you have any concerns about the long term effects on the engine and transmission of towing every week with this gasser?

I purchased mine a a couple of weeks ago. Every time I get in it, I find more bells and whistles. Some I like, some I don't need, some I turned off. I do love the truck. It pulls great, while I find plenty of power but mileage is poor. I am getting no better than 8.4 and hope that it gets better. One thing that has been bothering me is the steering wheel is off to the left a bit. I have watched a ton of videos on this truck and they ALL seem to be off to the left a bit. If I let go of the wheel, no matter what road I am on, the truck drifts off to the left. I took it back to the dealer, they put it of the rack and said it was within spec. Within speck if it pulls to the left?? Anyone else experiencing this?

Does octane effect fuel injector performance. I would say are you changing out the fuel filter on any particular schedule differently than manufacturer recommended interval. Do u need high octane if it is timed for regular octane gas. I like your review. Tu.

@automotiveinquiries9673 9 ай бұрын

Thanks, I appreciate it. As for those answers, there isn't a fuel filter to replace easily, so I would just leave it. The manual says to run it on 87 or better, the system adjusts to the octane a person uses, but I haven't seen a huge difference, just what I've always done on my gas trucks. The zilla actually de powers itself if you use less than 91. I think that a better octane would help reduce wear on injectors and less carbon. But I wouldn't have anything personally to prove that.

Nice truck and a thorough description of the vehicle. I have a 2019 1500 with the 5.3 8spd. I really like the truck and am thinking about trading for a new one in a year or so. I don't really need a HD truck but I remain concerned over potential lifter failure in the light duty V8s. Mine has been fine and it delivers great fuel economy as a daily driver back and forth to work. What kind of mileage does your truck get on routine daily commutes? I do like the 3.0 diesel as well but I am unsure that the increased fuel mileage over the 5.3 really makes up for the higher diesel fuel cost, def fluid requirements, etc. And the cost of the 1500 trucks has gotten so high it is not much more to get the HD model. I do haul a light utility trailer, an enclosed trailer, and some firewood. Your thoughts?

@automotiveinquiries9673 9 ай бұрын

Thanks for being here and watching. You are 100% correct, you can get a nicely optioned hd truck and Never sweat ability, and other than the 1500 diesel, you'll get about the same MPG's with the 5.3, 6.2 and 2.7 turbo as the 6.6 l8t. The 3.0 diesel is great on fuel economy and is rated high for a half ton on towing, but, you ad the diesel emissions stuff and potential issues. On the l8t you'll get 14 to 17 on the hwy, and in town you'll be 11 to 14. No active fuel management on the big guy, so it's rock solid. But if you can option the little durmax right, it will be the highest mpg truck in the half ton segment. I would pass on the 2.7 turbo though as it doesn't get that good of fuel economy. Chevy has continued its active fuel management in the v8s.

I am baffled at all the reviews on this engine. I sold my 2015 sierra 3500 diesel and bought a 2024 sierra 2500 at4 gas and hate it! Power is just not there, especially towing and fuel mileage sucks. I'm trading it in after 2 months

I had a 2020 Denali 2500 Duramax. I couldn't imagine that huge truck with a gas engine. Its a very heavy truck.

Does it tow better and get better fuel mileage than the 2024 Ram 2500 6.4L?

In my experience pulling with the 6.4 hemi, light stuff 10k or less, the hemi did fine. We had several of the 6.4 hemi crew rented at work last summer. Neither made it without issues pulling through the mountains. So I would say yes, the l8t pulls better and with the allison, it's light-years better than the zf. As far as fuel economy they are both close to each other. The l8t outdid the godzilla also.

Will the 6.4 Hemi with 3.73 tow a trailer just fine?

@automotiveinquiries9673 Ай бұрын

@CodyTheBmxMan if you are under 11k, and ram is the truck you like, I think the 3.73 would be good enough. I think over 11k, thats a lot for the 6.4.

My truck got built April, 16. When will it be Shipped from Saltillo Assembly Plant?

@automotiveinquiries9673 Ай бұрын

@CodyTheBmxMan so ford keeps you posted through the app and website. Gm and Ram rely on the dealer to notify you step by step. When my 16 mega dually diesel was built I called them weekly to get am update. It was a pain in the but doing it thay way. But in my experience from ram and the Saltillo plant, from the build date to your door could be up to 2 months from the build date.

Wait untill 40 k transmission is leaking wipers stop working radio doesnt work and 4x4 didnt work off the start and the service takes forever to visually look at the transmission(no touch) to then order the part it needs when its a highly common problem that they should stock on a shelf

I have a 2022 AT4 6.6gas 19k on it and truck gas been at dealership for the last month with the motor torn apart, they said number 8 and number 6 pistons are bad. Dealership was sent replacement wrong size pistons, I swear you can't make this shit up!! I loved my truck until this happened and GM isn't any help. No idea when parts wil be available, ask GM to just give me another truck equal to mine and they said no. They suck , spread the word!!

Sorry to hear that brotha. It seems like a crap shoot on new trucks these days some success, some failure. Dealer don't seem to want to fix things. All the capabilities of the new trucks is awesome, but older and simpler does sound good.

I disagree about towing, gm’s independent front ends seems to be to light while towing! My tremor towed wonderfully for a gasser it was a f350. Interior comfort in my opinion is far better in the newer fords!

IFS is superior in ride and handling. The Ford while loaded is jittery and darty and solid front end wanders. The interior of the Ford has higher interior noise along with wind noise from the aluminum cab and door variance. Ford is also behind in camera and touchscreen technology. This channel has shown that the GM HD has been the best truck at everything while the Ford ate itself from cam and lifter delamination while also not handling a load as confidently.

@dodianderson932 8 ай бұрын

I disagree. I have towed with both, and the IFS GMs ride better and are more planted and precise, just like he says.

Not the same transmission as the one found in the diesel. Still great but not the same.

Why would you get a Silverado HD over an HD Sierra? The HD Silverado's are so much more terrible looking. I don't understand it.

@ShadyGrady3 5 ай бұрын

that’s your opinion, I disagree, the square wheel well design is ugly and the front grill is ugly on the gmc

@jiggity76 5 ай бұрын

@@ShadyGrady3 I like everything else on the new Silverado HD's...but the front end is a no go for me. The GMC department did a much better job I think.
