    2023 LT Trail Boss Factory Rake - 2 inches?

    Reverse level is also an option. A lot easier if you just want a level truck (just switch out rear blocks). I would only end up doing it if I bought some timbrens to help out with load. Leveled trucks look stupid if you actually, you know, put something in the bed.

    6.2 Trial Boss engine rattle noise when accelerating hard.

    So with the weather boomerang up and down a bit the past month, I have noticed that when it is cold out, I do not hear the noise that I remember. It really makes me think that this means it is somehow airbox related, and that warmer temps maybe have some plastic expand and rattle or something...

    Google Navigation - 'Recalculating' / Freak Out

    Anyone else been having a problem since some recent update, where when you are en route on a navigation through the built-in google maps, and anytime you pass an 'alternative route' (the grey other options) and pass such 'alternative rout' the damn things starts freaking out and displaying a...

    2024 Chevy Silverado Trail Boss has Sport Mode in a 3.0 Duramax?

    See you have a 2024 from your first post. See My reply immediately above- this is not new information and has already been addressed with the 24s...

    Replacing front center console with seat console

    I think the toughest thing will be switching the shifter from the console to the column. I like this idea, though I would probably ever go through the trouble. Would like to have the option to add another seating position for another person (or my dog). You are stuck with the console as soon as...

    Which Trail Boss should I buy

    I would not. All of the modern truck engines have something that someone could consider an Achilles heel. All of the V8s have lifters with deactivation. The turbo engines have carbon buildup and well the turbos themselves. Diesels have both a turbo and more prevalent emissions control issues...

    Which Trail Boss should I buy

    Anecdotal evidence that things have been fine is not irrelevant. These engines are pretty advanced and will pull timing and should protect themselves (at the cost of performance and mileage). Your biggest mistake was trusting the words of a dealer 😆

    Which Trail Boss should I buy

    Please provide evidence for this, otherwise this is bad information and should not be posted here to provide confusion. GM actually recommends 93 for the 6.2, but the manual says a minimum of 91 (see below). 93 is not always widely available in all states hence the reason for minimum 91. My...

    Which Trail Boss should I buy

    6.2L if you can. If you are going to add features anyway the price difference for the engine upgrade is not that bad of a hit financially and more than pays for itself in smiles per gallon. Diesel was never on my radar, and the 5.3 to me is just ok (once you have driven the 6.2). I was...

    2024 Chevy Silverado Trail Boss has Sport Mode in a 3.0 Duramax?

    Disagree that there is no 'rhyme' but certainly no good reason. Not a lot of 2024s out there yet to see the total trend, but putting together anecdotal evidence, we seem to have the following: Pre 2022 - 10 speed transmission equipped trucks have it (unclear on 8 speed). 2022 thru 2023 model...

    Auto 4wd

    I use 4 Auto relatively often. The 6.2 and the Duratracs can allow for quite a bit of spin on slick roads in 2wd even with moderate throttle. Quick pulls into traffic are a bit more dramatic than need be without it engaged. When it gets snowy out the Auto system works excellent, I only need to...

    2024 Chevy Silverado Trail Boss has Sport Mode in a 3.0 Duramax?

    I miss it for the rev hang (engine braking) on deceleration in certain situations - had it in most of my past vehicles, and while I didn't always use it, did like it from time to time and miss it. I don't need the transmission always shifting up to higher gears as it likes to do on its own...

    Where to begin?

    Couple different options like this, but if looking to get off the ground, hammock type tents have come a long way. https://haventents.com

    2024 Chevy Silverado Trail Boss has Sport Mode in a 3.0 Duramax?

    Wheel size is certainly part of it - but the 20s can have either MTs (Wrangler Territory MTs) or All Terrains (think the Goodyear Trailrunner ATs). The duratracs that come on the 18 inch rims, while more of a hybrid type tire, are consider MTs at least by GM. I do not think the 20s with the...

    2024 Chevy Silverado Trail Boss has Sport Mode in a 3.0 Duramax?

    Don't think its tech package specific - I have that as well. Which tires?

    2024 Chevy Silverado Trail Boss has Sport Mode in a 3.0 Duramax?

    So maybe Refresh has nothing to do with it and it is 22s + (could be wrong but didn't even the 22 LTDs start the Global B?). Guessing yours came with the MTs?

    2024 Chevy Silverado Trail Boss has Sport Mode in a 3.0 Duramax?

    Unfortunately until the aftermarket figures something out, Global B has these rigs locked down. Dealers can't add/enable anything not on the original build sheet. This applies to something as stupid as auto wipers, even if you buy all the proper switches (and the sensor is already there). GMs...

    2024 Chevy Silverado Trail Boss has Sport Mode in a 3.0 Duramax?

    I have a 22 Refresh 6.2 and also no sport mode. From what I gather, both the 22 and 23 ZR2s also do not have it. Best I have been able to deduce is that sport mode is tied to tires (pre-refresh all had it - so this doesn't apply). I have the 18s with the duratracs (so the MTs = no sport mode)...

    Possible to add auto dimming mirror?

    I wonder if the wiring is there for those of us with the sunroof.

    Refresh 360 / back-up guidelines disappearing

    So it has happened to me a few times when I have some gear or materials in the bed in that the park assist / back-up camera guide lines disappear and there is an hourglass icon on the screen. See photo below. Seems like a very odd thing and I can only think that perhaps the truck's...
