Chevy MyWay: Truck Talks ft. Silverado TurboMax™ Engine | Chevrolet 

How could that ever be possible. In 2014 my 2012 GM Chevrolet 1500 long bed couldn't get 50,000 miles before the transmission and engine warning indicator couldn't work together and traveled as fast as a funeral procession the warranty was about to expire and the dealership extorted $200.00 from me because they claim that the voltage was low. I guess The Dealership Service Dept. had a specific #1 rule Never Ever under any circumstances use a battery charger to recharge a GM product, that ruins the service Mark-up opportunity. So they told me, blah, blah, blah, give us $200.00 dollars or we will call a couple goons from Detroit and Shreveport to come here and break your legs and take your money regardless of how ever unethical it seems to be and you will be in the hospital for twenty years on a life support machine which by the way was made by GM and you have to pay for that too buddy lol. So they showed me the pinion gears shredded that came from a different GM product and claimed that it came from my truck and that since I couldn't prove that it wasn't because they wouldn't allow me to visually watch them remove the Pinion gears because of some BS that vehicle owners couldn't be in the service area due to their liability policy which was more BS. They still billed me for their work at $7896.52 and told me that they contacted their main headquarters in Detroit and falsely informed them my warranty had expired. Now someone tell me if that was fair. Should I contact a lawyer? If so what kind of lawyer? Should I report them to the BBB, Federal Trade Commission? How about Morgan & Morgan law firm? Could they help?

How heavy was the camper you pulled

@@brianjohnston3963 6000lbs, maybe a little more.

OK the reason why I'm asking because I have a camper that is 6800 pounds and my 2018 4×4 5.3 Silverado pulls it really good but I don't know about going into the mountains it's a 1500

That is awesome good to hear I took my 2021 Silverado with the same engine but 348 lb ft of torque up to Maine, Then Niagara Falls NY, then crossed into Canada then into Brampton, Ontario, Back into the US thru Niagara Falls then finally back down to Baltimore and it was solid the whole time I absolutely love mine

Hello. I just bought this truck (LT 2FL Turbomax, 4x4, 7,000lbs) about 3 weeks ago, this car is beautiful, good, strong engine. I want to buy an RV but I don't know if this vehicle can tow an RV or not? If so, what is the maximum weight of an RV? Thanks.

​@sanhly2690 max weight is around 9000 lbs. I have a 2021 2.7 and I towed a 20 ft flat bed with a suburban.. around 8,000 lbs.. for about 8 hours with 0 issues. I'd stay around 6 to 7000 lbs. Don't want to push maximum all the time

I put slightly bigger tires and im getting only 15.

this video showed a flat track, I have mountains all around me, how's the pulling with inclines? mountain passes?

Pulled from Richmond to Staunton, Virginia, with no issues.

@@michaelgoodrich-stuart thnx

I’m only getting 13mpg…. Everything is stock!!! This engine is a joke and at 15,000 miles I’m trying to trade this POS

What other big 3 competitor does that? 🤔 Oh yea.....none of them.

My dealer here in Missouri offers that warranty 10 yr 100,000 mile I have a 2022 Silverado double cab custom, Love it

​@@DeetroitmuscleWell the Ecoboost Turboed V6 is junk and Ford knows it so why would they increase their warranty, I'm diehard Chevy and would never opt for a little POS 4cyl nor V6 in a full size truck, GM pushes it like they do in this video as its cheaper to manufacture

@@bidenstoletheelection9116you sound hurt bro lmao😂

If you build the engine properly it doesn’t matter

I just bought a 22' 2.7 LT 4 wd. To me the difference is with my 19' 5.3 you heard exhaust noise out the rear. Now you hear the turbo noise from the front! Opposite extremes.

To me, the sound is everything… 5.3 or 6.2 only.. N/A

@@Oneshawdog89 good to know

@@garymeredith3610 Gary you’re more than welcome! 🤣

@@Oneshawdog89 understandable, I don’t think there is a engine that sounds as good as a 7.3 but because I have one it’s kinda nice having a quiet truck too. Having to shut my f350 off whenever I go through a drive through so they can hear the order gets old lol

And...what you don't get is the diesel premium to the cost of the truck. I love a diesel but FEW ppl need that power, and for a $5-10k+ premium to the cost of the truck, well, that's a LOT of gas.

@Doc Holliday I'll take the up front penalty to have the better driving experience. I'd take the 2.7 over the V8 options, but not the 3.0D. You'll make up for it in gas cost quickly with the slightest work use of the truck. If you just need to own a truck to be part of the brodozer crowd then the 2.7 will be a great DD.

Ummm the 3.0 Duramax is only $800 more.

You can get them In RST trim

​@@thomasmcghee2468 had the RS trim on my 19'. My 22' LT, and I already miss the painted bumpers and other RST options.

should have made a v6 like the new rangers raptor engine with around 300Kw at the flywheel ? Even better do it up better turbo intercooler and exhaust system and a good tune, should get around the 350 to 400hp range and real good low down power as well, its only a matter of time?

@@7071t6 Nah. If anything should be made its a 6 cylinder version of this engine so an inline 6. Would be good for 430+hp and 600+tq in theory. Hard to beat the smoothness an inline offers.

@@killercan10 lots of OEMs have been developing modular architectures for their engines. Is it a coincidence that this 4 cylinder has a bore and stroke that would lend itself to a near perfect 4.0 liter displacement inline 6?

Try a real Duramax. You won’t want to go back after experiencing the 6.6

@@Motolympics Big deal. Driven plenty of LML and L5Ps at work. 8000lbs can only move so fast, plus I don't have any trailers of weight to merit the purchase of a 65-75k truck. 2.8 was and the 3.0 that's in the 1/2 tons currently are great engines. The 3.0 Duramax is the real winner here over the big 6.6.

Try to run it after 250,000 miles then report back

@@infernoking7504 Mindless comment.

@@infernoking7504 Hey man, hook me up with the winning lotto numbers

Your driving too close. Tailgater. Try Skip Barber driving school.

What type fuel does the 2.7 use?

Regular unleaded.

@@Wontreplyeverdontbother Wait..the FUTURE? Whats your source? Either you've been calling Ms Cleo, youre a Chevy design engineer with inside info, or you're full of it.

Yeah not much better in mpg then v8 😂 and get prepared for it to be an oil burner because they do burn oil.

I had the same shifting issue in my 2017 Silverado. 10 speed is the way to go

Bro I feel that. Im on my way to a ram rebel soon

Yep every morning first shift from 1 to 2 it’s brutal but after that doesn’t happen again until it sits over night.

Yeah, the transmission is my only complaint with the truck. If you don’t let it warm up for a good five minutes in the morning, you get a hard shift. But I’m used to diesels and I’m in the habit of warming my truck up before I drive. Long as I do that it shift perfectly fine.

They won't I think GM is purposley building cheap unreliable cars to push EVs on the masses when they all fail. Nothing makes sense over there anymore and I am a hardcore GM fan and a long dating history GM family (workers and buyers). And sadly most of us will be looking elsewhere after our current cars.

fords new 3lt v6 turbo has around 300kw and 585 nm of torque, so chevy should have there version of a 3lt v6 with twin turbo's putting out at least 350kw at the flywheel and around 650nm of torque, but hey chevy and ford are always at each other its about saving fuel, i have seen so many F150 raptors and chevy Silverado's at lights and they just floor it to the floor ,so where is the fuel saving when they drag at lights all the time?

@@LeatherandLuxuryCarsd That makes no sense, destroy your reputation by purposely making unreliable vehicles so that you can push EVs onto them? Who in their right mind would buy a vehicle from them?

@@LeatherandLuxuryCarsd you should look up the million mile test. This is one of the few engines made by GM that they haven’t managed to break yet. I personally know one that has about 78,000 miles on it and that’s not even the refresh version.

@@devildrifterX that’s definitely not what they’re doing. The negative around this engine has no facts behind it. It’s just a lot of guys they can’t handle the idea of a truck. Pulling a trailer that doesn’t have a big loud v8. I asked anybody to show me one report or video of this 2.7 having major problems I can show you plenty on the V8 having issues. I come from driving nothing but diesel and this engine feels like a diesel.

You won’t be disappointed

how's the 2.7 on mountain passes? or inclines?

@@PaPops I have had 6 trips on I 15 through Utah over many passes and have yet to see it shift out 8th. 500 miles each trip. I just took my 2022 Power wagon through Utah and it shifted more than the 2.7.

@@fscottgray9784 thnx

@@Wontreplyeverdontbother I stand by what I said.

@@PaPopsI have a ‘23 Silverado Trail Boss Custom with the 2.7, and I regularly drive it through Snoqualmie Pass (about 3,000 feet in elevation). A couple of time towing an almost 7,000 pound trailer. I’ve had zero issues. The truck is a champ. Barely breaks a sweat. Unloaded it just pulls and pulls with almost no downshift required. Super smooth. My 5.3 was nowhere near as refined or enjoyable to drive.

if you have 2 engines to choose from, what would you pick? 1) - 383 ft lbs of torque generated @ 4,100 rpm w/ a 9,000 lb tow rating? 2) - 430 ft lbs of torque generated @ 3,000 rpm w/ a 9,000 lb tow rating? Both run on 87 octane gasoline, per owners manual. The higher revving less torque choice is 5.3 V8. The Duramax diesel built forged crank 2.7 Turbomax w/ 100,000 mile drivetrain warranty is the one to pick.

I'm sitting at 88k miles with no current carbon buildup issues. I *am* however, judicious with my use of the throttle, so this may have something to do with that.

I couldn't but did buy the 2.7. Coming from 5 - 5.3liters the last decades I was skeptical too. 6k on it haul a 32' RV so far so good. B4 5.3 you heard exhaust noise from rear, now you hear turbo noise from front. Only difference I notice. Other than 25 mph on freeway.

With the low end torque available and gear ratios in the trans I doubt you will miss it.

Because they want to make more money 💰💰.

That would be stupid. The 2.7 will surpass them.

It’s worth it. I ripped on the 4 cyl at first and then i drove it😮

I love mine so far! Time will tell but I bought an extended warranty just in case.

2.7 is better

It sounds like you don't need the power. The 5.3L is only better when you rev it out past 4000rpm. The 5.3L makes 381lb of torque at 4100rpm. The L3B 2.7T does that at 2000rpm and peaks at 430lb at 3000rpm. The 2.7T is the low RPM power king.

Stick with the 5.3. Its tried and true engineering designed before chevy got bad. Other than obvious lifter issue, its is similar design. Dont be fooled, no little turbo 4 is going to last as long as a v8. It might have it slightly beat on power, but if you want power, get the 6.2. Just my opinion and im no expert. Id ask a mechanic what they think.

@@christopherclark4774 5.3 is blowing lifters like crazy and any GM mechanic I’ve talked to love the 2.7. It’s been the most reliable gas truck motor GM has at this time.

that 2.7 in the New Colorado ZR2 is gonna rip!!!

Except no EV is going to drive 800 miles in 12 hours because you have to stop for a long time to recharge the battery, if you can find a charging station, and if you do find one you'll pay more for the charge than for gasoline or diesel. Also those EV require heavy batteries which reduces the weight you can haul or tow unless the suspension is heavy enough to handle the loads and then ride quality suffers.

@pyromedichd1 20 yes is a long time Sir. A 2000 F250 7.3 is doing the same specs as my 2022 Silverado 1500 2.7HO. Tow almost is identical with a substantial difference in mpg and handling. 2 decades and technologies had changed completely. Evolution from a carburetor, injection, turbos and now EV is going to happen. In 20 yrs I bet my word is something better will be around, is progress buddy.

No 1500 is able to put a 8’ or better plow on it! Be realistic

Just like a diesel does

@@EnjoyingGaming diesel engines are different concept all together.

@@mattandrickadventures8416 yes they use compression instead of spark but they are still piston rod engines just like gas, if you build it strong enough any engine can have longevity while being boosted and so far these 2.7L have proven to be pretty strong while all the 5.3s are getting rebuilt at 60k due to bad lifters

Have you driven one?

It's a 2.7l. Same displacement as the Ford 2.7 turbo.

That's the same tired argument people use all the time. I'll die on this hill without question: the 2.7T has done everything I've asked it to do, at max capacity, and never skipped a beat.

a turbo v6 would opt out a 60k 6.2 liter. so money wise it doesn’t make sense for them to sell a truck with almost the same horsepower when they could overcharge for the 6.2

@@DankManDan I'm pretty sure GM is reaping the financial rewards of tooling and processes it has had for decades by retaining the 6.2 as its top half-ton offering. Ford basically did the same with the modular V8.

Yes and premium dex

No, the manual on my 2022 confirms not needed. 6:03
