So excited to show you guys my Little D! Been wanting to for a while, timing just felt right.... Let me know what you think! No serious replies... Check out the Boost Auto Lumistep M1 running boards video here ruclips.net/video/IhEQ-8e7opI/видео.html
Nice video. We have 23 SLT and frequently get low 30's mpg. When you are looking at fuel costs its easy. Diesel here $3.90/28 mpg = .14 per mile. Gas $3.20/16 mpg = .20 per mile ! Hope this helps John
@@mahkato1I did a ton of figuring and maintenance cost isn’t substantially higher with the LZO overtime. Yes you have a fuel filter change and DEF to manage here and there but there’s no significant difference in oil or filter changes.
Just turned 3000 miles on my 2023 LZ0 in a GMC SLT crew. No issues so far. I’m averaging 28 mpg. Hoping for many trouble free miles. Looking forward to future posts that include your new ride.
I've been averaging 30 mpg & my best in the 50 mile setting is 44 mpg. Little D is where it's at 💯 I use about one jug of DEF from Costco every 5000 miles which is every oil change. I did my first oil change even though it was free but I didn't want them messing with the computer. I've heard stories from Dodge guys that purchased those Eco Diesels new so I didn't want to take any chances. I also am running Amsoil oil & I do think it helped mpg a tad. I need to get me a Little C to go with my Little D like you have. 😂
The only negative I see is the service cost. I drive 50-60k miles a year and trade often my dealer now has increased price to $200 for an oil change and tire rotation and they want another $170 to change a fuel filter which is highway robbery. There goes your fuel savings. A non issue if you do your own oil change or take it to a non gm dealer, fuel filter is easy to access and only takes 10-15 minutes to change and filter is like $30-40 bucks.
Yea I've heard proces are different dealer to dealer as well. I'll be doing my own, always have. Diesel definitely has some added costs, but I don't know if it'll be that much more. I think the biggest thing is the electronics in all these new cars... can't work on them yourself
I have now owned this truck with the diesel motor for just over a year with almost 25k miles on her. Zero defects. This motor is perfect for this truck. Plenty of pep at all the bands. Nothing but kudos for this truck. I average 28 mpg and on multiple trips to Florida got 40 mpg. Amazing. Being picky my low rating would be the seat when driving over 500 miles gets stiff but no complaints on short trips. The oil gauge is accurate but always shows at the low side which could be missed if low pressure was an issue. Very good truck.
I went on a trip yesterday and got 37.7 mph. With my 23 Chevy baby diesel. No oil use yet. My dealer changes oil and filter rotates tires and tops off the def for $66 dollars. Love your baby D.
One day I'll unwrap my Little D and let it breathe! Deleting is definitely the way to go... it'll just be a while lol. That's great MPG for that truck!
I've got 5000 miles on my lzo never burnes oil did my first oil change at 2000 now I'm running amsoil still have the original def that they filled it with .
I had this exact vehicle for a while, Great power and efficiency. DEF was a non-issue when unloaded - easily a 1000+ miles. Towing a 24' snowmobile trailer loaded, DEF range dropped into the 400 mile range. You can always top off at truck stops or throw a spare DEF can in the bed.
It's a great setup. What did you move to? I'm thinking I should get over 5,000 miles on a def tank if I'm not hauling anything. Still only 1/8 tank used per the dash after 1400 miles. I've heard hauling is when it really sucks it down though like you mentioned
@@LifeofBliss First q.. Industry insider. on the 2nd point, I loved it regardless. I have had both the 6.2 w/ 10 speed and 3.0 w/ 10 for over 8k miles a piece. My comments are towards the towing from here... Both the 6.2 and 3.0 have very similar experience and milage (may 1 difference in my experience). I loved the 6.2 way better than the 5.3, just held the gear better, did not have the MPG fall off, and confidence in towing. The 3.0 loaded will hold a gear better than both, but there were certain cases (headwind) where it hunted for a gear a bit (I would just lock it in to a max gear). Exhaust break is defiantly a winner over the 6.2. But towing, it does drink DEF like a case of ice cold beers on a Mexico beach. My trailer is fully boxed enclosed v-nosed trailer, probably 5000 pounds loaded, 3 dudes in the cab + gear in the bed.
wow this is great info We pulled a 27ft 6000lb or so snowmobile trailer to UP last fall with a 22 LM2 and burned almost 7 gallons of DEF on the 1000 mile trip. I was blown away at the consumption. I have been considering a LZ0 to replace my 19 cummins but really wondering the DEF consumption when towing. 400 miles on a tank is brutal. How is the towing MPGs with your LZ0 towing your snowmobile trialer and how does it compare to the 6.2?@@MrThe3zs
@@barrthom603 Round Trip to Munising or Gwinn was 14-15 range with the 3.0. 6.2 (MY19) was closer to 13 in a Yukon and Escalade. So with price of diesel vs gas, there is no savings. Additionally, the stock tank size of the diesel is too small (something like 23-25 gallons). It is fine for unloaded travel, but I had it to specifically pull.
@@MrThe3zsthat’s impressive with the 6.2. Ya no savings with the 3.0 at that point. I’m curious how my 19 Cummins will do towing our inline this snowmobile season. I hope we get snow!
I drove an LM2 truck and was blown away. My wife has the 6.2 in her 2017 Yukon and it makes great power but that diesel power comes on immediately. Can’t wait to get an AT4 diesel.
Nice truck! Bought my 2023 silverado 3.0 LZ0 with max tow package in April and already have 10k miles. Truck has been great with 0 issues. Also tows our 8000lb rv with no issues.
Does yours also burn around a gallon of DEF per 100miles when towing? Like mine does even towing only 4K lbs? I was SHOCKED. For me, 1000miles burns 1gal DEF when not towing. 100miles burns 1gal DEF when towing ~4K lbs Huge difference
Just SUBBED & looking forward to videos on the LZ0. I've had mine about 4 months now & just did the first oil change tonight. I opted out on free oil change & put AMSOIL in mine after positive research. I average 24 to 26 mpg usually w/ a tonneau cover & my best was 38 with a tail wind. Honestly it's the best truck I've ever owned to date. One long trip so far with mountain climbing & it got 31 mpg. I love my Little D. 😂
Nice!! I'm debating just doing the oil change myself too vs the free one. I do all the oil and general maintenance on our vehicles anyways, I need to look into which oil to use. Little D gang 😎🤣
@@LifeofBliss It wasn't bad. Everything is very accessible. Some claim better mpg running Amsoil so I'm hoping for the best. I already get better than most it seems but I have the X31 package which sits a little lower. The claim to fame is Amsoil is 100% synthetic oil & others only need to have 25% to legally claim a Full Synthetic oil. Just changed out the BREAK IN oil yesterday so to soon to say. I've read others claiming quieter but I can't tell any difference but it is a LZ0. Let's face it, how can a diesel that sounds like a gas sound any quieter? Actually it might be quieter than a 6.2 which would make it quietest little D too. 🤔 😅 😳 😏 😂🤣
Great review! I never had a diesel either. I’m on the fence of getting a 2025 Yukon Denali Duramax XT or the 2025 Suburban with the Duramax. Cant make my mind up 😉
I enjoyed watching your video I have the same truck without the tow package I like your marriage I like what you doing and I got everything that you got except for the toe package and a big mirrors but love to Duramax so far the 380 Duramax thank you brother for the video
The oil burning will happen once you’re towing some distance and 5k Lbs on average. As for fuel cost Diesel here in South FLA is less then Premium gasoline as you use in the 6.2 motor. And when towing HWY you can fuel up at truck stops that accommodate towing and get yourself a Diesel fuel card that will save money at the pump. Now using DEF when towing on average above 5k lbs increases consumption. So if you’re regularly towing get yourself a 3/4 ton Diesel preferably less DEF and little better MPG’s when towing only. And if like me camping with an RV a few times year only. Then I can live easily with 3.0 Duramax. But would not want anything to do with a 6.2 that should be fueling with Premium gas only. Makes no sense unless you want to drive an Escalade and your budget doesn’t blink.. lol. I’m towing RV & Payload 6,200LBS for a big trip less weight for weekend trips. F150 2.7 9.5 MPG’s @ 64 mph.
I have the 2020 LM2 and General Motors can't get me parts. Great truck, but they can't suppport it which makes it an $60k terd. Been down for a few months now. I don't understand how the brand thinks this is ok, but this customer is absolutely pissed.
Great video and nice truck what turned me away from the at4 is they do not allow for the upgraded Max to 373 gears and no column shifter, however both of these are available on the elevation , that's one thing I hate about GMC their package options are all over the place and to get one thing you have to get 10 others you don't want and vice versa
Have a 21 with 50000 miles still love the truck Only fill up with DEF about every oil change and I tow a utility trailer often The only real issue I’ve had was addressed this week at the dealer an oil leak coming from the dip stick tube
I have a 2021Sierra AT4 with the lil Duramax. Excellent performance, no issues at 29000 miles. We loved it so much, we bought a Yukon 2023 last July with the new diesel engine. Now has 8500 miles on it, PERFECT running engine. Fuel mileage is stupid crazy on both. She's getting 28.5 mpg at 80 mph on the freeway. Mine does about 26 mpg at those speeds. Still good but GM has obviously changed some torque dimensions between the two as her Yukon doesn't accelerate as fast. The Sierra truck will throw you sideways in a heartbeat...
That's the plan!! Probably be a while, I have a hard time replacing brand new tires this early lol... but I've definitely been researching which one to go with
My hybrid gets 21mpgs. No stupid def, high oil consumption, regen, or dealing with winter temps. My emissions level is lower than a diesel too. As for power, i have low range torque like a diesel. I have more HP, toque and towing capability than your truck too. So hands down win over a LZ0 AT4, glad I didnt buy one. Also no roof splitting action to worry about.
What truck do you have? I don't worry about winter temps, that's not really an issue with newer diesels. Emissions feed the plants too 😂 they love my diesel.
IF you add R99 Reneable Diesel, then your winning, most people dont even know what R99 is, and my ford 6.7 gets 19 MPG on average, better on long trips
My top glove box was the same, i just bought a roll of interior wireloom cloth tape and applied it to the latch release and it works great. The dealer is taking forever to get me touch up paint for a paint chip that is on the edge of the door when i bought the truck 4 months ago! So i came up with my own solution on that glove box rather than taking it to the dealer.
How can you stand the smell of diesel? It's the only reason I don't own one, the smell makes me sick and don't tell me you can't smell it because that is Bull Sh*t!
I have a 2024 trail boss lz0 with about 4000km. Haven’t gone through half a tank of def yet. Average 6-7 L/100 km highway and 11L/100km so far lifetime 80 % city driving. Can’t wait till it breaks in fully. Tows our 33’ travel trailer like a dream. And btw my best 40km was 5.8l/100
To further my comment, I now have just over 8000 km, about 3.5 gallons of def. Just did a 360 km ride and economy was 6.6L/100 km with cruise set at 100 kph and that’s in the hilly terrain of northwestern Ontario. Just towed our 8300lb trailer to camp and economy was 17L/100 km. My 08 Silverado would be 35-38L/100
How do these AT4 hold up with city driving (3.0 vs 5.3)? My commute is a maximum of 10 miles, but is 100% city. I currently own a 2023 Tundra (8,500 mi). I love the truck, but the premature engine failures have me concerned. Dealers aren't even accepting 22/23 trades because of the issue and toyota dealerships can't sell impacted inventory until their is a fix. I bought the extended warranty because i planned to have this 15 years but not if an engine blows!
I have the 2020 GMC AT4 with the 3.0L and 23K miles, great motor, great mileage, best 50 miles 34.3 MPG, since I left the dealership in Aug 2020, 24.8 MPG, I will but another without a second thought, 2025 AT4X AEV with the 3.0L, according to the Getty Adventures, he is a diesel mechanic, his research is that the babby D-Max has had little to no emission issues unlike RAM. DEF consumption is a non issue, I fill it at the pump, stopped using the box stuff.
I have the 2020 LM2 and General Motors can't get me parts. Great truck, but they can't suppport it which makes it an $60k terd. Been down for a few months now. I don't understand how the brand thinks this is ok, but this customer is absolutely pissed.
Read the Owner's Manual (online full Owner's Manual not the quick start guide in glove box) on tailgate operation. I have a 2024 SLT trim and it can electrically lock out the upper tailgate so you can't accidentally hit the trailer hitch. My 2020 SLT did not have this feature.
In the 6.2L v8 they recommend premium fuel, so the comparison to gas should be comparing diesel vs premium if you're choosing between those two engines (for the Suburban, Yukon, etc). So if you're gonna be paying for premium as you should, then the prices are a lot more comparable. Likely gonna get a duramax on my next SUV purchase.
Fuel prices are the opposite where I live. Diesel is $1.05 cheaper than premium gas, which is what I use in my 6.2L. I have a 2024 3.0L on order so I'm expecting a significant reduction in the cost of fuel.
I need the Max tow for our 10K flat bed trailer. The thing you have to be careful of on all half tons is the payload. You normally will run out of payload before you run out of tow capacity. We have a max tow Ford F150 with the CoyoteV8, and it has performed well. However, we do enough driving that this Baby Max might be a better fit for our needs. In our part of the country, diesel is usually only 20 to 40 cents more per gallon than regular gas.
Good video! Mine had the upper glove box issue too and I use it for all the registration and insurance stuff so I wanted it to work. Little 220 sand paper to the male latches and it flies open like a wild banshee!…. Literally…😂
I recommend taking it on the highway a little bit more. Your truck will regen when your dpf gets full (80-90%). City trips and idling, like stopping at red lights, will cause your dpf to fill up faster, causing more regens. Another thing that helps reduce the amount of regen cycles is making sure the truck actually gets to operating temps. I have a ram 1500 ecodiesel and I didn't know this stuff when I bought it. Glad I know it now, and obviously, my truck is different than yours so maybe it won't be as much of an issue but still something to look into. Good luck and that's a mighty fine Little D!😂

The fuel prices where I live, it goes back and forth for which is more. Right now, gas is about 20 -30 cents more than diesel. Plus some places have Def at fuel pumps

Man I thought long and hard about this motor but ultimately went gas as I put less then 10k miles a year on my vehicle so I figured the savings wouldn't be worth the additional headaches. Gotta say though, it's a smooth running, torquey and great sounding motor! Congrats.
I've owned the 6.2 and 5.3 the only "headache" over the other two is adding DEF. DEF jugs are the most worthless garbage made by man. They fill up with air bubbles and splash DEF everywhere.
Glad GM could design and build a modern small half ton diesel and then be absolutely stupid and use a belt to drive the oil pump at the back of the engine that requires transmission removal for service.
@LifeofBliss I think the reason they did the belt that way is that it is used in commercial cab over trucks first in Isuzu. I think on this engine that GM has figured out how to make the emissions work better on the regen, which has been an issue for all of the Big Three on their heavy duty pickup trucks. The EPA has been at war with diesel engines for a long time.
I pick up a 6.2L Sierra AT4 on Monday for a 2 year lease. Just want to have fun for a little bit with that 6.2 but my plan is to get into a Duramax Sierra afterwards.
Untrue about the tail gate feature. You need to get the B&W hitch. Make sure it's the model that says it's compatible with the pro tail gate. Game changer! It's cut in a way that allows you to use your tail gate as intended.
Picked up my first diesel as well last month; 23 Silverado 1500 Baby Duramax, after a Tahoe 5.3 (swapped to a 6L) since 2005. Only have 800 miles, but love it. Power for days, and getting 29 mpg. $5.60/gallon for Top Tier at Costco here in Sacramento. And I did wonder what that foul odor was a couple times now, so now I know. The auto steps will be next. I quickly added the VanTrue Pro N4 dash cam, which has already caught some after hours shenanigans.
@@mowcowbellEverything here in CA is ridiculously overpriced. The refineries are ‘literally’ 75 miles south of me, and paying the same price as in Hawaii.
I have the LZO BabyMAX. The fuel mileage is absolutely insane. 695 range on a tank of fuel. You have good video presentation but your nomenclature is off for sure. Our trucks have motors and engine. What voltage is your new Duramax? And the gas mileage of a LZO is zero. The LZO have amazing fuel mileage. Still never understood why they call motor oil and not engine oil. Maybe because transformers use oil. I just remember getting my ass busted at the Nashville Auto Diesel College calling a motet and engine. They are definitely different. A big toe is different than a thumb. Great Video. And an awesome vehicle GM has provided for us. Happy Holidays
Ive had my 21 lm2 for 2 years and I still get excited about it mpg. Its fun watching first timers experience it. I average 28.5 in the summer. Usually 26.5 in the winter. No oil consumption problems on mine. Def last me around 7500 miles, i put half a tank every 3000 miles or so. B&W make a speical hitch allows you to open your tailgate all the way.
Same for me on my 2023. Lovin the mileage. It pulls like a tank when needed. My first diesel and love it. On one loop on a flat highway, I got over 40 mpg at 60 mph. Can’t beat that.
2023 lzo rst .I have 20k already And have had zero issues And get 25 city &28-31 on a trip.i drive it in sport mode with start stop off. Its been great so far.i keep the def full when it gets down to half i fill it back up
Got a 2023 Chevrolet LT with LZO in February this year have 37,000 with 0 issues average 28+ mpg but with new 6 in lift on 35s I still average around 24 mpg and tows 11,000 trailer with mini excavator like a monster and truck still says 15mpg amazing truck
I was worried the towrating was a little low. Ivd got a 7000lb trailer I was considering towing with this truck but fairly often but was worried. Sounds like I don't need to worry...
@@drewkring9600 yeah it squats but with a drop hitch leveling out the truck it rides good and doesn’t even bounce but if you are riding stock you need a ball that’s up an inch or a little more
Love it. Towed about 7000 lbs the other day. Plenty of power, rode great. Suspension is a bit bouncy getting a trailer on there, but overall pulled much better than our escalade with the 6.2L
Just bought my 1st GM (since my 77 K5 Blazer) 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 Duramax Diesel. I've been running Ram for years & one F150 back in 02. No issues with Ram or the F150, I drive all day everyday, so wanted to try the Diesel economical GMC. Looks are amazing on it, interior is great, less features that the newer Rams. Broke down after 1 week of ownership, starting my new job with the new truck in the shop. Wouldn't start/crank. Towed to dealership & got in a loaner. Few days later, they Said it's the ECM part will be ordered & replaced. Truck has 490 miles on it. Super disappointed.
Damn! That's super disappointing to hear man... obviously there are going to be issues with mass produced items here and there. Just sucks when it happens to you. I'm sorry man... Hopefully GM makes it right and does so quickly. It's a great truck, so definitely give it a chance once you get it back and working right. Electronics are a nightmare in newer vehicles, hopefully it's just a quick swap of the ecu
I'm hereby expressing great dissatisfaction at this video as there was no little D to be seen. Oh well. Cool truck though! lol... I'm working towards the chevy equivalent (I guess the Silverado ZR2) but having a hard time whether to go Trailboss (off road "lite") or ZR2. I don't go offroading... sooo yeah. Only a ton of winter driving including through snow as I'm out in a subdivision out in the country. The Sierra is basically a step up in 'luxury' compared to the silverado, right? Lastly... maybe I missed it... why did you go with the Diesel in the first place? I've had diesel-friends tell me NOT to get a diesel because "You don't need it for what you do!" ............. hope to hear back from you
Got it, more Little D in the next video... 😂 Honestly the interiors are almost identical anymore and the body styling is a little different. There are some big upgrades when going to the Denali Ultimate, but overall they are pretty dang similar to Chevy. I went with the diesel cause of the gas mileage. I'll have to tow a skid steer every now and then, and we have a 20 ft enclosed for random things, but I don't tow often by any means. I've wanted a 2500 diesel for years now. Couldn't justify it with how little I tow, so the 3.0L seemed the better choice. In 4.5 years when I'm out of warranty and they have a delete kit for it, that'll cover the majority of issues that happen with these trucks
LifeofBliss, how hard was it to find a GMC with a 6'7" bed? I looked for ages and dealers told my dad they could not get a Chevrolet with a 6'7" bed, but I kept looking on Autotrader and found one in Lakeshore Blue, the color my dad wanted ,about 300 miles from home.
Took 2 weeks of searching before I found one. I was very specific with mine too. Color, AT4, and long bed. Found one 2 hours away, worth the work though
My 2011 with the 6.2 recommends that you use premium, so I do and in North Georgia it is higher than diesel by $.30 a gallon or more. My truck is AWd and gets 16-17 at 75 mph. My dad just bought a 2024 Silverado with the LZ0 and I got 28.6 on the interstate stretch going 75-80 the whole time and 30.4 on a 4 lane highway at 60-70 or so. His truck went 290 miles and used less than half a tank of diesel. I figured the fuel cost of driving my wife's van to Florida and back with regular gas and 22-23 mpg and the diesel truck still has a lower fuel cost than the van. My dad is getting up in age, so the truck will outlast his ability to drive, so I will be his driver and may try to buy his truck in 3-4 years. The only problem is, I love my 2011 Sierra Denali. It fits me like a glove, and I have a custom stereo that is amazing, but that Bose system in the 2024 High Country has decent sound quality for long trips.
It's definitely a nice truck man. I loved my Avalanche I sold a few years back. Same situation. Fit perfect, custom stereo... But I settled into this new one pretty quick. They newer tech is super nice and still pretty easy to integrate into for aftermarket amps. I'll be doing that later this summer with all Stereo Integrity gear.
I bought a 23 Denali with the LZ0 and I have roughly over 3,300 miles currently. Not unusual for me to squeeze 600 miles out of a tank (on a long trip that is). During my short daily commute to work and a little in between with errands, a tank of diesel will last me almost a month. Also let me know if you happen to check your oil, I heard these things come with an extra quart from the factory. They tend to burn a little bit in the first 20,000 miles from what I've researched. I checked mine at around 2,000-2,500 and it hasn't burned any. I'm thinking the climate you drive in could also be a factor as well.
We bought a 2024 little D. We Like that!! 7800 miles and no issues with oil. Shifting I had a boo boo I got confused and I bumped my rear bumper. Damn it. I don’t like the auto kill and start. I wish I could delete or pull a fuse. Overall me and the wife love our new truck.
Very nice! I have the 2023 Chevy Silverado High Country- I ordered a GMC Sierra just like yours, but then learned that I could get the Max Tow Package with the LZ0, but only in the High Country. By the way, the diesel engine is an LZ0 (LZzero), not an LZO (LZoh). Most people don’t realize the difference between letters and numbers.
This is so funny, I’ve got the same exact black At4. The only thing I don’t like about my truck is every time I get out, it feels like I’m breaking the edge of my seat slowly. Everything else I absolutely love about my truck. I’m a general contractor, unfortunately I have to drive a lot. I got it in September. I already have over 9000 miles on it. One more thing I absolutely despise about it, is the auto stop. I already kind of formed a habit, every time I start it I also press the auto stop button. Fuel consumption is constantly 26-28.
I felt the exact same way about the seat. I threw on some running boards on from Boost Auto that are awesome ruclips.net/video/IhEQ-8e7opI/видео.html Can't stand the auto stop myself!
So excited to show you guys my Little D! Been wanting to for a while, timing just felt right.... Let me know what you think! No serious replies...

Nice video. We have 23 SLT and frequently get low 30's mpg. When you are looking at fuel costs its easy. Diesel here $3.90/28 mpg = .14 per mile. Gas $3.20/16 mpg = .20 per mile ! Hope this helps
John
What does a diesel mechanic per hour cost versus a gas mechanic cost? What does a diesel part cost versus a gas part cost?
@@mahkato1I did a ton of figuring and maintenance cost isn’t substantially higher with the LZO overtime. Yes you have a fuel filter change and DEF to manage here and there but there’s no significant difference in oil or filter changes.
Just turned 3000 miles on my 2023 LZ0 in a GMC SLT crew. No issues so far. I’m averaging 28 mpg. Hoping for many trouble free miles. Looking forward to future posts that include your new ride.
I've been averaging 30 mpg & my best in the 50 mile setting is 44 mpg. Little D is where it's at 💯 I use about one jug of DEF from Costco every 5000 miles which is every oil change. I did my first oil change even though it was free but I didn't want them messing with the computer. I've heard stories from Dodge guys that purchased those Eco Diesels new so I didn't want to take any chances. I also am running Amsoil oil & I do think it helped mpg a tad. I need to get me a Little C to go with my Little D like you have. 😂
Nice! Little C? I'm missing the reference which really bothers me lol
Great video. Considering the Duramax in my next GMC, so this was helpful
Thanks man! Im here at dealership now, they are rushing to get it back to me asap. Hope it works fine after this.
Nice vid. We are currently shopping for a Sierra with the "Lil" D engine.
The only negative I see is the service cost. I drive 50-60k miles a year and trade often my dealer now has increased price to $200 for an oil change and tire rotation and they want another $170 to change a fuel filter which is highway robbery. There goes your fuel savings. A non issue if you do your own oil change or take it to a non gm dealer, fuel filter is easy to access and only takes 10-15 minutes to change and filter is like $30-40 bucks.
Yea I've heard proces are different dealer to dealer as well. I'll be doing my own, always have. Diesel definitely has some added costs, but I don't know if it'll be that much more. I think the biggest thing is the electronics in all these new cars... can't work on them yourself
I have now owned this truck with the diesel motor for just over a year with almost 25k miles on her. Zero defects. This motor is perfect for this truck. Plenty of pep at all the bands. Nothing but kudos for this truck. I average 28 mpg and on multiple trips to Florida got 40 mpg. Amazing. Being picky my low rating would be the seat when driving over 500 miles gets stiff but no complaints on short trips. The oil gauge is accurate but always shows at the low side which could be missed if low pressure was an issue. Very good truck.
Absolutely love my first 2023 GMC 1500 Denali diesel. It’s incredible.
I went on a trip yesterday and got 37.7 mph. With my 23 Chevy baby diesel. No oil use yet. My dealer changes oil and filter rotates tires and tops off the def for $66 dollars. Love your baby D.
I have a deleted and tuned 2017 Ram 6.7L (420 hp / 850ft/lbs) and average 21.5 mpg. Love my diesel!
One day I'll unwrap my Little D and let it breathe! Deleting is definitely the way to go... it'll just be a while lol. That's great MPG for that truck!
I've got 5000 miles on my lzo never burnes oil did my first oil change at 2000 now I'm running amsoil still have the original def that they filled it with .
Awesome. I'll probably go with amsoil as well, seems to be the popular alternative to GMs oil.
That’s all I put in my 2023 1500 Denali is Amsoil. Great stuff!
I had this exact vehicle for a while, Great power and efficiency. DEF was a non-issue when unloaded - easily a 1000+ miles. Towing a 24' snowmobile trailer loaded, DEF range dropped into the 400 mile range. You can always top off at truck stops or throw a spare DEF can in the bed.
It's a great setup. What did you move to?
I'm thinking I should get over 5,000 miles on a def tank if I'm not hauling anything. Still only 1/8 tank used per the dash after 1400 miles. I've heard hauling is when it really sucks it down though like you mentioned
@@LifeofBliss First q.. Industry insider. on the 2nd point, I loved it regardless. I have had both the 6.2 w/ 10 speed and 3.0 w/ 10 for over 8k miles a piece. My comments are towards the towing from here... Both the 6.2 and 3.0 have very similar experience and milage (may 1 difference in my experience). I loved the 6.2 way better than the 5.3, just held the gear better, did not have the MPG fall off, and confidence in towing. The 3.0 loaded will hold a gear better than both, but there were certain cases (headwind) where it hunted for a gear a bit (I would just lock it in to a max gear). Exhaust break is defiantly a winner over the 6.2. But towing, it does drink DEF like a case of ice cold beers on a Mexico beach. My trailer is fully boxed enclosed v-nosed trailer, probably 5000 pounds loaded, 3 dudes in the cab + gear in the bed.
wow this is great info We pulled a 27ft 6000lb or so snowmobile trailer to UP last fall with a 22 LM2 and burned almost 7 gallons of DEF on the 1000 mile trip. I was blown away at the consumption. I have been considering a LZ0 to replace my 19 cummins but really wondering the DEF consumption when towing. 400 miles on a tank is brutal. How is the towing MPGs with your LZ0 towing your snowmobile trialer and how does it compare to the 6.2?@@MrThe3zs
@@barrthom603 Round Trip to Munising or Gwinn was 14-15 range with the 3.0. 6.2 (MY19) was closer to 13 in a Yukon and Escalade. So with price of diesel vs gas, there is no savings. Additionally, the stock tank size of the diesel is too small (something like 23-25 gallons). It is fine for unloaded travel, but I had it to specifically pull.
@@MrThe3zsthat’s impressive with the 6.2. Ya no savings with the 3.0 at that point. I’m curious how my 19 Cummins will do towing our inline this snowmobile season. I hope we get snow!
I drove an LM2 truck and was blown away. My wife has the 6.2 in her 2017 Yukon and it makes great power but that diesel power comes on immediately. Can’t wait to get an AT4 diesel.
We have a 2022 Yukon 4x4 with the LM2 and it has been a killer power plant. Ours is just at 24k miles and have had zero issues.
Nice truck! Bought my 2023 silverado 3.0 LZ0 with max tow package in April and already have 10k miles. Truck has been great with 0 issues. Also tows our 8000lb rv with no issues.
Does yours also burn around a gallon of DEF per 100miles when towing? Like mine does even towing only 4K lbs? I was SHOCKED.
For me, 1000miles burns 1gal DEF when not towing.
100miles burns 1gal DEF when towing ~4K lbs
Huge difference
What is your payload capacity and which trim? Been eyeing one but trying to keep my payload over 1800lb. Thanks!
@williamumbach592 I have noticed a major increase in def used when towing. Towing a 5k lb boat about 1000 miles used around 1/3 of a tank of def.
@@ConrailBostonLineHOLayout my payload on a crew cab short bed 4x4 LT trim is 1906lbs.
Hold the top button on your tailgate for three seconds and it’ll lock it, preventing it from opening when you drop it down onto your hitch.
Yessir, got that on lock now 😉
I'm sorry for your wife with the little "d".
Good video, Looking at pulling the trigger and getting one this winter.
Just SUBBED & looking forward to videos on the LZ0. I've had mine about 4 months now & just did the first oil change tonight. I opted out on free oil change & put AMSOIL in mine after positive research. I average 24 to 26 mpg usually w/ a tonneau cover & my best was 38 with a tail wind. Honestly it's the best truck I've ever owned to date. One long trip so far with mountain climbing & it got 31 mpg. I love my Little D. 😂
Nice!! I'm debating just doing the oil change myself too vs the free one. I do all the oil and general maintenance on our vehicles anyways, I need to look into which oil to use. Little D gang 😎🤣
@@LifeofBliss It wasn't bad. Everything is very accessible. Some claim better mpg running Amsoil so I'm hoping for the best. I already get better than most it seems but I have the X31 package which sits a little lower. The claim to fame is Amsoil is 100% synthetic oil & others only need to have 25% to legally claim a Full Synthetic oil. Just changed out the BREAK IN oil yesterday so to soon to say. I've read others claiming quieter but I can't tell any difference but it is a LZ0. Let's face it, how can a diesel that sounds like a gas sound any quieter? Actually it might be quieter than a 6.2 which would make it quietest little D too. 🤔 😅 😳 😏 😂🤣
Great review! I never had a diesel either. I’m on the fence of getting a 2025 Yukon Denali Duramax XT or the 2025 Suburban with the Duramax. Cant make my mind up 😉
Nice review of the Little D! I always liked that turbo whine on my friends GMC when it spools up. Is that an aftermarket thing? Sounds pretty cool!!
I enjoyed watching your video I have the same truck without the tow package I like your marriage I like what you doing and I got everything that you got except for the toe package and a big mirrors but love to Duramax so far the 380 Duramax thank you brother for the video
The oil burning will happen once you’re towing some distance and 5k Lbs on average. As for fuel cost Diesel here in South FLA is less then Premium gasoline as you use in the 6.2 motor. And when towing HWY you can fuel up at truck stops that accommodate towing and get yourself a Diesel fuel card that will save money at the pump. Now using DEF when towing on average above 5k lbs increases consumption. So if you’re regularly towing get yourself a 3/4 ton Diesel preferably less DEF and little better MPG’s when towing only. And if like me camping with an RV a few times year only. Then I can
live easily with 3.0 Duramax. But would not want anything to do with a 6.2 that should be fueling with Premium gas only. Makes no sense unless you want to drive an Escalade and your budget doesn’t blink.. lol. I’m towing RV & Payload 6,200LBS for a big trip less weight for weekend trips. F150 2.7 9.5 MPG’s @ 64 mph.
Love the truck! I just purchased my first diesel truck. Got me a 2024 rst silverado 3.0 and I love it.

I have the 2020 LM2 and General Motors can't get me parts. Great truck, but they can't suppport it which makes it an $60k terd. Been down for a few months now. I don't understand how the brand thinks this is ok, but this customer is absolutely pissed.
BW makes a hitch that works with the multipro tailgate
I have the B&W on mine. I flip it around, and there are no issues.
Great video. I love my 2021 F150 3 litre diesel. But it’s not available anymore.

Great video and nice truck what turned me away from the at4 is they do not allow for the upgraded Max to 373 gears and no column shifter, however both of these are available on the elevation , that's one thing I hate about GMC their package options are all over the place and to get one thing you have to get 10 others you don't want and vice versa
Yea their package deals are kinda odd... I'd love the max towing but honestly it's not a necessity for me. More of a just in case situation
Have a 21 with 50000 miles still love the truck
Only fill up with DEF about every oil change and I tow a utility trailer often
The only real issue I’ve had was addressed this week at the dealer an oil leak coming from the dip stick tube
I have a 2021Sierra AT4 with the lil Duramax. Excellent performance, no issues at 29000 miles. We loved it so much, we bought a Yukon 2023 last July with the new diesel engine. Now has 8500 miles on it, PERFECT running engine. Fuel mileage is stupid crazy on both. She's getting 28.5 mpg at 80 mph on the freeway.
Mine does about 26 mpg at those speeds. Still good but GM has obviously changed some torque dimensions between the two as her Yukon doesn't accelerate as fast. The Sierra truck will throw you sideways in a heartbeat...
I need advice. Should I trade my 2024 sr5 tundra for the 3.0 GMC?
Looking forward for more content like these one I just got a RST with the 3.0 and I’m loving it. Swap from a 5.3 to a 3.0 big difference
Thinking about getting a new 2024 AT4 and you have helped in that decision.
Looks great as is but if that gets is a lift kit you will be rolling hard!
That's the plan!! Probably be a while, I have a hard time replacing brand new tires this early lol... but I've definitely been researching which one to go with
Do you have the 3.23 or 3.73 diff ratio?
My hybrid gets 21mpgs. No stupid def, high oil consumption, regen, or dealing with winter temps. My emissions level is lower than a diesel too. As for power, i have low range torque like a diesel. I have more HP, toque and towing capability than your truck too. So hands down win over a LZ0 AT4, glad I didnt buy one. Also no roof splitting action to worry about.
What truck do you have? I don't worry about winter temps, that's not really an issue with newer diesels. Emissions feed the plants too 😂 they love my diesel.
Thank you for this video. I am looking to get one and your comments help me a lot. Thanks!😊
IF you add R99 Reneable Diesel, then your winning, most people dont even know what R99 is, and my ford 6.7 gets 19 MPG on average, better on long trips
I'll look into that, thanks man
I Love the review! - I'm a 2015 Sierra 1500 5.3 owner, and I'm totally happy with it, but i'm always looking to the future. - Cheers!
Can u imagine this truck as a plug in hybrid with a 50 mile battery only range! It would reduce diesel use by 90% for most people.
Huh ? Joking - right ?
My top glove box was the same, i just bought a roll of interior wireloom cloth tape and applied it to the latch release and it works great. The dealer is taking forever to get me touch up paint for a paint chip that is on the edge of the door when i bought the truck 4 months ago! So i came up with my own solution on that glove box rather than taking it to the dealer.
Yea I'll probably try to do something similar myself. I'd rather work on my own truck than the dealer if I can help it
How can you stand the smell of diesel? It's the only reason I don't own one, the smell makes me sick and don't tell me you can't smell it because that is Bull Sh*t!
Only smell it during fill ups. With all the def emissions systems in these newer trucks there's really not a smell. And that's no bull shit!
I have a 2024 trail boss lz0 with about 4000km. Haven’t gone through half a tank of def yet. Average 6-7 L/100 km highway and 11L/100km so far lifetime 80 % city driving. Can’t wait till it breaks in fully. Tows our 33’ travel trailer like a dream. And btw my best 40km was 5.8l/100
That was my best too in a 2024 in perfect conditions, average is 8.5 but mostly highway and some city
To further my comment, I now have just over 8000 km, about 3.5 gallons of def. Just did a 360 km ride and economy was 6.6L/100 km with cruise set at 100 kph and that’s in the hilly terrain of northwestern Ontario. Just towed our 8300lb trailer to camp and economy was 17L/100 km. My 08 Silverado would be 35-38L/100
@@joedella-mattia2234 I'm at just under 4000km, my best was 5.8L/100km! and avg around 8L/100km now. Thanks for the update brother
I saw some were adding 1 quart of oil per 1000 miles with light towing. That’s alot
Yea thats waaaay to much. Something is wrong with that picture
Mine came in today 24 lzo
Good video, 1st time viewer
Love mine so far
How do these AT4 hold up with city driving (3.0 vs 5.3)? My commute is a maximum of 10 miles, but is 100% city.
I currently own a 2023 Tundra (8,500 mi). I love the truck, but the premature engine failures have me concerned. Dealers aren't even accepting 22/23 trades because of the issue and toyota dealerships can't sell impacted inventory until their is a fix. I bought the extended warranty because i planned to have this 15 years but not if an engine blows!
I have the 2020 GMC AT4 with the 3.0L and 23K miles, great motor, great mileage, best 50 miles 34.3 MPG, since I left the dealership in Aug 2020, 24.8 MPG, I will but another without a second thought, 2025 AT4X AEV with the 3.0L, according to the Getty Adventures, he is a diesel mechanic, his research is that the babby D-Max has had little to no emission issues unlike RAM. DEF consumption is a non issue, I fill it at the pump, stopped using the box stuff.
I have the 2020 LM2 and General Motors can't get me parts. Great truck, but they can't suppport it which makes it an $60k terd. Been down for a few months now. I don't understand how the brand thinks this is ok, but this customer is absolutely pissed.
Read the Owner's Manual (online full Owner's Manual not the quick start guide in glove box) on tailgate operation. I have a 2024 SLT trim and it can electrically lock out the upper tailgate so you can't accidentally hit the trailer hitch. My 2020 SLT did not have this feature.
In the 6.2L v8 they recommend premium fuel, so the comparison to gas should be comparing diesel vs premium if you're choosing between those two engines (for the Suburban, Yukon, etc). So if you're gonna be paying for premium as you should, then the prices are a lot more comparable. Likely gonna get a duramax on my next SUV purchase.
Fuel prices are the opposite where I live. Diesel is $1.05 cheaper than premium gas, which is what I use in my 6.2L. I have a 2024 3.0L on order so I'm expecting a significant reduction in the cost of fuel.
I need the Max tow for our 10K flat bed trailer. The thing you have to be careful of on all half tons is the payload. You normally will run out of payload before you run out of tow capacity.
We have a max tow Ford F150 with the CoyoteV8, and it has performed well. However, we do enough driving that this Baby Max might be a better fit for our needs. In our part of the country, diesel is usually only 20 to 40 cents more per gallon than regular gas.
Good video! Mine had the upper glove box issue too and I use it for all the registration and insurance stuff so I wanted it to work. Little 220 sand paper to the male latches and it flies open like a wild banshee!…. Literally…😂
I recommend taking it on the highway a little bit more. Your truck will regen when your dpf gets full (80-90%). City trips and idling, like stopping at red lights, will cause your dpf to fill up faster, causing more regens. Another thing that helps reduce the amount of regen cycles is making sure the truck actually gets to operating temps. I have a ram 1500 ecodiesel and I didn't know this stuff when I bought it. Glad I know it now, and obviously, my truck is different than yours so maybe it won't be as much of an issue but still something to look into. Good luck and that's a mighty fine Little D!😂

The fuel prices where I live, it goes back and forth for which is more. Right now, gas is about 20 -30 cents more than diesel. Plus some places have Def at fuel pumps

Man I thought long and hard about this motor but ultimately went gas as I put less then 10k miles a year on my vehicle so I figured the savings wouldn't be worth the additional headaches. Gotta say though, it's a smooth running, torquey and great sounding motor! Congrats.
I've owned the 6.2 and 5.3 the only "headache" over the other two is adding DEF. DEF jugs are the most worthless garbage made by man. They fill up with air bubbles and splash DEF everywhere.
@@davidporter7051How about stalling and cranking? That concerns me
Glad GM could design and build a modern small half ton diesel and then be absolutely stupid and use a belt to drive the oil pump at the back of the engine that requires transmission removal for service.
Yea not sure why they did that... looks like they increased the service interval to 200,000 miles with the LZ0 VS LM2, but I still agree with you
@LifeofBliss I think the reason they did the belt that way is that it is used in commercial cab over trucks first in Isuzu.
I think on this engine that GM has figured out how to make the emissions work better on the regen, which has been an issue for all of the Big Three on their heavy duty pickup trucks. The EPA has been at war with diesel engines for a long time.
I feel like I'm driving a car cuz I can't even hear the engine... Is there any way to make this thing louder?
I pick up a 6.2L Sierra AT4 on Monday for a 2 year lease. Just want to have fun for a little bit with that 6.2 but my plan is to get into a Duramax Sierra afterwards.
Untrue about the tail gate feature. You need to get the B&W hitch. Make sure it's the model that says it's compatible with the pro tail gate. Game changer! It's cut in a way that allows you to use your tail gate as intended.
Picked up my first diesel as well last month; 23 Silverado 1500 Baby Duramax, after a Tahoe 5.3 (swapped to a 6L) since 2005. Only have 800 miles, but love it. Power for days, and getting 29 mpg. $5.60/gallon for Top Tier at Costco here in Sacramento. And I did wonder what that foul odor was a couple times now, so now I know. The auto steps will be next. I quickly added the VanTrue Pro N4 dash cam, which has already caught some after hours shenanigans.
Nice! I'll look into that dish cam...
Yikes on diesel prices there! Diesel here in OK is $3.49/gal.
@@mowcowbellEverything here in CA is ridiculously overpriced. The refineries are ‘literally’ 75 miles south of me, and paying the same price as in Hawaii.
Egr being post emissions is HUGE…it’s taking “clean” air and no soot.
Great truck! Could you share some insights on the maintenance and additional upkeep involved when switching from gas to diesel?
I have the LZO BabyMAX. The fuel mileage is absolutely insane. 695 range on a tank of fuel. You have good video presentation but your nomenclature is off for sure. Our trucks have motors and engine. What voltage is your new Duramax? And the gas mileage of a LZO is zero. The LZO have amazing fuel mileage. Still never understood why they call motor oil and not engine oil. Maybe because transformers use oil. I just remember getting my ass busted at the Nashville Auto Diesel College calling a motet and engine. They are definitely different. A big toe is different than a thumb. Great Video. And an awesome vehicle GM has provided for us. Happy Holidays
Congrats on the new truck! I'm also considering switching from a gas GMC over to the new LZ0. I hope it's still doing well for you!
Been debating on getting the LZ0 instead of the 5.3…Such a hard choice
I can’t think of any advantages of getting the 5.3. Can you?
Dude... 3.0 all day. If you were debating between the 3.0 and 6.2 gas, maybe more of a discussion.
Omg its not gas mileage……. Fuel…FUEL!!!!!!!!
I bet you're a blast at parties... 🥳
I have the LZ0 in my 23 Silverado LT Z71. Instant torque is perfect for inclines off road and towing. DEF refills are a pain in arse.
I think the newer 6.2 gas requires premium fuel, so comparing diesel price to premium your really not spending more $$ on fuel
Ive had my 21 lm2 for 2 years and I still get excited about it mpg. Its fun watching first timers experience it. I average 28.5 in the summer. Usually 26.5 in the winter. No oil consumption problems on mine. Def last me around 7500 miles, i put half a tank every 3000 miles or so. B&W make a speical hitch allows you to open your tailgate all the way.
Hell yea, can't beat that man! I need to look into that hitch...
Same for me on my 2023. Lovin the mileage. It pulls like a tank when needed. My first diesel and love it. On one loop on a flat highway, I got over 40 mpg at 60 mph. Can’t beat that.
I have that hitch and you just roll them underneath the bumper, so easy
I had the same at4 and the transmission had an TCM failure at 3400 miles, motor was great but GM transmissions are junk.
1 quart every 4k miles is about what I have seen. 620 miles in a tank average. DEF consumption goes down as mileage goes on.
Def is what is messing them up I know people that have diesel trucks and they treat there truck like baby they don’t pull nothing
Great video love the truck I'm looking at a 2024 silverado with same motor. Thanks for the video!!
there's two types of regens. Active and Passive. You only experience a passive regen while driving or idling.
In Canada warranty only covers up to 60,000 km doesn’t matter if you have extended warranty or not. Doesn’t cover the emissions portion past 60,000km
Short trips with these diesels are not good. Also try not to idle long times. If you don't do either of these, you will have a long life truck.
2023 lzo rst .I have 20k already And have had zero issues And get 25 city &28-31 on a trip.i drive it in sport mode with start stop off. Its been great so far.i keep the def full when it gets down to half i fill it back up
Got a 2023 Chevrolet LT with LZO in February this year have 37,000 with 0 issues average 28+ mpg but with new 6 in lift on 35s I still average around 24 mpg and tows 11,000 trailer with mini excavator like a monster and truck still says 15mpg amazing truck
I was worried the towrating was a little low. Ivd got a 7000lb trailer I was considering towing with this truck but fairly often but was worried. Sounds like I don't need to worry...
@@drewkring9600 yeah it squats but with a drop hitch leveling out the truck it rides good and doesn’t even bounce but if you are riding stock you need a ball that’s up an inch or a little more
That's awesome man. I'm definitely looking into a 6-9 inch lift in a year or two. Gotta pay her off first lol
How you still liking your truck?
Love it. Towed about 7000 lbs the other day. Plenty of power, rode great. Suspension is a bit bouncy getting a trailer on there, but overall pulled much better than our escalade with the 6.2L
Very good video. I am looking at getting a similar truck.
Just bought my 1st GM (since my 77 K5 Blazer) 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 Duramax Diesel. I've been running Ram for years & one F150 back in 02. No issues with Ram or the F150, I drive all day everyday, so wanted to try the Diesel economical GMC. Looks are amazing on it, interior is great, less features that the newer Rams. Broke down after 1 week of ownership, starting my new job with the new truck in the shop. Wouldn't start/crank. Towed to dealership & got in a loaner. Few days later, they Said it's the ECM part will be ordered & replaced. Truck has 490 miles on it. Super disappointed.
Damn! That's super disappointing to hear man... obviously there are going to be issues with mass produced items here and there. Just sucks when it happens to you. I'm sorry man... Hopefully GM makes it right and does so quickly. It's a great truck, so definitely give it a chance once you get it back and working right. Electronics are a nightmare in newer vehicles, hopefully it's just a quick swap of the ecu
I'm hereby expressing great dissatisfaction at this video as there was no little D to be seen. Oh well. Cool truck though!
lol... I'm working towards the chevy equivalent (I guess the Silverado ZR2) but having a hard time whether to go Trailboss (off road "lite") or ZR2. I don't go offroading... sooo yeah. Only a ton of winter driving including through snow as I'm out in a subdivision out in the country. The Sierra is basically a step up in 'luxury' compared to the silverado, right?
Lastly... maybe I missed it... why did you go with the Diesel in the first place? I've had diesel-friends tell me NOT to get a diesel because "You don't need it for what you do!" ............. hope to hear back from you
Got it, more Little D in the next video... 😂
Honestly the interiors are almost identical anymore and the body styling is a little different. There are some big upgrades when going to the Denali Ultimate, but overall they are pretty dang similar to Chevy. I went with the diesel cause of the gas mileage. I'll have to tow a skid steer every now and then, and we have a 20 ft enclosed for random things, but I don't tow often by any means. I've wanted a 2500 diesel for years now. Couldn't justify it with how little I tow, so the 3.0L seemed the better choice. In 4.5 years when I'm out of warranty and they have a delete kit for it, that'll cover the majority of issues that happen with these trucks
nice pickup get a banks idash to monitor everything
LifeofBliss, how hard was it to find a GMC with a 6'7" bed? I looked for ages and dealers told my dad they could not get a Chevrolet with a 6'7" bed, but I kept looking on Autotrader and found one in Lakeshore Blue, the color my dad wanted ,about 300 miles from home.
Took 2 weeks of searching before I found one. I was very specific with mine too. Color, AT4, and long bed. Found one 2 hours away, worth the work though
I have the same issue with the glove box. 2023
My 2011 with the 6.2 recommends that you use premium, so I do and in North Georgia it is higher than diesel by $.30 a gallon or more. My truck is AWd and gets 16-17 at 75 mph. My dad just bought a 2024 Silverado with the LZ0 and I got 28.6 on the interstate stretch going 75-80 the whole time and 30.4 on a 4 lane highway at 60-70 or so. His truck went 290 miles and used less than half a tank of diesel. I figured the fuel cost of driving my wife's van to Florida and back with regular gas and 22-23 mpg and the diesel truck still has a lower fuel cost than the van. My dad is getting up in age, so the truck will outlast his ability to drive, so I will be his driver and may try to buy his truck in 3-4 years. The only problem is, I love my 2011 Sierra Denali. It fits me like a glove, and I have a custom stereo that is amazing, but that Bose system in the 2024 High Country has decent sound quality for long trips.
It's definitely a nice truck man. I loved my Avalanche I sold a few years back. Same situation. Fit perfect, custom stereo... But I settled into this new one pretty quick. They newer tech is super nice and still pretty easy to integrate into for aftermarket amps. I'll be doing that later this summer with all Stereo Integrity gear.
I bought a 23 Denali with the LZ0 and I have roughly over 3,300 miles currently. Not unusual for me to squeeze 600 miles out of a tank (on a long trip that is). During my short daily commute to work and a little in between with errands, a tank of diesel will last me almost a month. Also let me know if you happen to check your oil, I heard these things come with an extra quart from the factory. They tend to burn a little bit in the first 20,000 miles from what I've researched. I checked mine at around 2,000-2,500 and it hasn't burned any. I'm thinking the climate you drive in could also be a factor as well.
We bought a 2024 little D.
We Like that!!
7800 miles and no issues with oil.
Shifting I had a boo boo
I got confused and I bumped my rear bumper. Damn it.
I don’t like the auto kill and start. I wish I could delete or pull a fuse.
Overall me and the wife love our new truck.
Nice! Sucks about the bumper... I also did the tailgate no no dropping it with a hitch on there. Nice little scratch lol.
Beautiful truck. Toyota guy here but this is the one alternative I’d consider.
Very nice! I have the 2023 Chevy Silverado High Country- I ordered a GMC Sierra just like yours, but then learned that I could get the Max Tow Package with the LZ0, but only in the High Country.
By the way, the diesel engine is an LZ0 (LZzero), not an LZO (LZoh). Most people don’t realize the difference between letters and numbers.
Very cool! Yea its a zero, not an o. Just easier to say o vs zero every time lol. Call me lazy, but I'm stickin to it 😉
Great video on the Little D. Very detail and helpful.
This is so funny, I’ve got the same exact black At4. The only thing I don’t like about my truck is every time I get out, it feels like I’m breaking the edge of my seat slowly. Everything else I absolutely love about my truck.
I’m a general contractor, unfortunately I have to drive a lot. I got it in September. I already have over 9000 miles on it.
One more thing I absolutely despise about it, is the auto stop. I already kind of formed a habit, every time I start it I also press the auto stop button. Fuel consumption is constantly 26-28.
I felt the exact same way about the seat. I threw on some running boards on from Boost Auto that are awesome ruclips.net/video/IhEQ-8e7opI/видео.html
Can't stand the auto stop myself!
