Correction. The H.O. Has 430 lb ft of TQ.
Just picked up my 2024 Silverado 1500 with the Turbo Max Engine. The Window Sticker states: • 5 YEAR / 100,000 MILE* POWERTRAIN LIMITED WARRANTY, ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE &
COURTESY TRANSPORTATION. Nice suprise for me.
Thank you for the video. I drive between Vegas and AZ on speedway 93. MPG dumps to 13 to 14 above 90mpg. Appreciate the insight on use of the turbo. A little over a year in with a high output Sierra, really happy with the performance, although mpg can be finicky.
Another way to tell which country any vehicle was manufactured in is the very first digit of the VIN. 1 is USA, 2 is Canada, 3 is Mexico, and there are numbers for all the other countries also.
Love my TurboMax. Averaging 15 MPG pulling a 5800 lb travel trailer for 2 years across the country. 0:15 11,000 miles so far.
Another great vid with nice info nuggets.
I like your brain Jerem.
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
I live in North Hamilton county. Enjoyed the video.
Howdy Neighbor! My wife’s family all lives in Soddy! Thank you for watching!
My 88 GMC with the 5.7L is the same way, It'll go 70*75 down the highway but You will notice a substantial difference in milage. I keep it at 65 and it's not bad. At 75 it's guzzling gas, I suspect it's the rear gear ratio.
Vin # will also tell you where it’s manufactured. Starts with 1 (US), starts with 2 (CAN), starts with 3 (MEX).
If you have the time, geek-out on the technical details of these 2.7 GM four cylinder engines. The overall power and economy are amazing compared to the Gen-4 eight-cylinder in my Silverado.
Great video idea! I'll dig in and do some research for the channel.
I'm running a K&N air filter in my truck,seems to work really well.
Mind (23) consumed oil for 15000 miles or so.. not sure what was going on because now it doesn’t consume any oil.. love the truck
I noticed that they changed the design of the oil filter. I have no idea why that would make a difference at all, but since changing to the new style of filer in my last oil change I have not noticed any change in my oil level. Crazy.
Torque comes on at 1500 rpm so it's spirited for me. Another like is the electric water pump that keeps going after a shut down. I try to stay out of the turbo and on a flat freeway, 1500 rpm in 8th gear is about 68 mph so it's relaxed cruising.
Yes it is! I work mine pretty hard and thing the factory shocks are about done. I want to get some better ones. I’m thinking Blistein 4100’s
2023 Silverado 2.7 HO custom trail boss at 10,400 trouble free miles.
I am looking at a 2020 1500 with the 2.7 how do you find out if the 2.7 is a hi out put?
Hi Laura V! Great question. You will find the High Output on 2022 refreshed Silverados and up. The 2020 would have the standard output 2.7l, just like mine does. It's a fantastic engine. In 2022 the standard output would have LTD somewhere on the window sticker. Thanks for stopping by and asking.
1:15 And the cooling system continues to cool the turbo after engine shutdown
Yes it does. Pretty cool tech
I have a 2022 LTD. Curious if your turbo chirps also when the engine turns off when it’s cold?
Sometimes for sure! Not really sure why, but I’ve heard it is something to do with the watergate? I need to do more research on it.
@@jeremsgarage thanks man. It’s so embarrassing when you turn the engine off in a parking lot.
Cylinder Deactivation on a 4 banger , Only chevy could come up with that
What octane gas do you use?
I just use 87. I’ve ran others and found no difference. Thanks for watching!
Not trying to be "that" guy, but isn't the torque on the H.O. motor 430 lb-ft?
The 2022 HO was rated at 430. Oops. Mistyped. I’ll pen a post. Thanks!
@jeremsgarage all good sir! Enjoying your videos. I have a 2022 LT Ltd 2.7L and I love the truck! Fits my needs perfectly. You are 100% correct on the throttle/speed comment in relation to the MPG. Good stuff!
@@drumdoug8083 thank you!
how many miles you got on it and how many problems have u had with it
Close to 60k now. Here is my last update video... I saw your other comment about it going to be trash at 75k miles. We will see. It keeps hitting milestones people told me it would be trash at. So far it's been awesome with only one fuel injector failure to speak of. czcams.com/video/yFcYVL186Y8/video.html
My shop has a fleet of these Silverados with the HO L3B and every one I’ve driven just feels sluggish. Like the throttle response is just dead. The power comes on a little weird too as I feel like softly easing into 70% throttle accelerates the truck faster than if you just punch it. Like flooring it literally feels slower than gradually pushing into the throttle but not flooring it. It’s bizarre, almost like it pulls timing under WOT. It’s hard to tell sometimes if it’s the throttle, the transmission, or a combo of both but it just feels so laggy that it ends up constantly downshifting when it shouldn’t have to. I’ll be merging onto the highway so I’ll smoothly start rolling into the throttle and it just doesn’t seem to respond quick enough before it triggers an unnecessary downshift. The peak torque is 1500 yet it will downshift like it’s an atmospheric 2000cc four banger that makes peak torque at 8000rpm. It’s rough. Maybe they tune the fleet trucks differently? They’re definitely the HO versions though according to the window sticker.
Very interesting. The throttle response is a little laggy, it reminds me of the throttle response from the 6.2l in about an 07 Yukon Denali I drove. I am not sure if the HO is tuned differently on throttle response or not. But it wouldn’t surprise me. I am not a big fan of the 8 speed either. It kind of meanders around the pasture. It’s my least favorite thing about the truck.
For my truck, hooking a big load to it makes it come alive. I’m not sure what the deal is but it pulls very hard against my 9k travel trailer.
I test drove a 6.6l gas 3/4 ton and few weeks ago and my 1500 felt like a sport truck compared to it. The 6.6l seemed sluggish to me too.
Idk why GM gives us sluggish throttle response though.
Thanks for watching.
Use the tow haul feature . it helps the weird shifts and the throttle delay .
What kind of RV do you? (Model)
It’s an East to West Silver Lake 29K2S. It’s 36 ft long, nearly 12 ft high, and about 8,500-9,000 lbs loaded. Thanks for watching!
Great info. What is the max hitch rating for tongue weight. I am looking at a new 30’ Coachmen with advertised 704lb tongue weight. We know that isn’t correct. BTW I have a 2wd 2021 2.7 and love it. Tows my existing 25’ Jayco with ease. Thanks for the help and keep up the great content!
@@jasongalligan6424 the max rating is about 920 lbs. I am over that for sure but well under the receiver rating of 1360 lbs. The 30 ft Coachmen is a good match for this truck. My last camper was a 31 ft Zinger and weighed around the same thing a you are looking and it was an excellent match!
Part way through the 2023 model year, GM changed from a plastic engine oil pan and plastic drain plug to an aluminum engine oil pan with a metal drain bolt.
Good to know. It's my least favorite feature of this truck.
Thanks for the information
I’m sure the engines are perfectly fine for light duty jobs, but I wouldn’t hold my breath on longevity if you use it for real truck stuff.
Fram is junk. That’s why
Their air filters are pretty good. Their mid to upper level oil filters are too. But they are like 2-3x the price of OEM filters. The base model filter is junk.
@@jeremsgarage I wouldn’t waste my $$ on any of fram. Lol
@@joshtaylor1416 yea, prefer not to. But when I need a filter and that’s the only one available that’s what it gets. 🫣
Don't use fram air or oil filters on anything. They are garbage.
Yes I agree. I don't use their oil filters. But this Ir filter is the first I've noticed much of a difference.
I been using Fram oil filters for 30 years with no problems
I put AEM washable air filters in every 4 wheeled vehicle I buy
Nope. No hidden features.
😅
Hard pass on a 4 cylinder for a truck, its bad enough to drop from an 8 to a 6 cylinder. already hearing a lot of transmission issues/failures and typical GM/Chevy electrical issues popping up, better off finding a clean rust free pre 2007 Chevy/GMC that doesn't have that garbage AFM crap on trucks
Tell us your old without telling us your old..😂
I’m fine with more engine options as long as a v8 is still an option but I can afford a Denali or an at4 the problem with this is if you can only afford a work truck or cloth trim
I’ve already ran a double axle trailer set up 70,000 miles with one of these no hiccups cross country from Florida to California through desert snow mountains and valleys.
@@jasonbosworth8549tell us you don’t know about cars….
I’ve been contemplating pulling the trigger on a Silverado with the turbo max. I don’t tow anything and payloads would be minimal. Are you still pro turbo max since you posted this video?
I had a VW that was built in Mexico, no problems with that vehicle.
How nice. What does that have to do with this video of a Chevy 1500 made in USA?
