Can’t imagine that they would? I’d think it would interrupt regeneration so it would constantly be starting and stopping that function. I could be smoking crack, however.

Hopefully they will go to an electric dpf in the future, I know they were under development.

I think all plans or hopes of an electric DPF are all but gone.

Damm...

I think all plans or hopes of an electric DPF are all but gone.

I dont see how one would work anyways. How much heating from the electric elements would be required to replace what is normally done by fuel? 3k watts? 10k watts? I think it ended up way to high. Even at 3k watts you would need a dedicated 250 amp alternator at 14.4 volts.

I think the better solution would be to insulate the exhaust and DPF, maybe double walled tubing, and see if passive regeneration could occur more often. Or put it closer up behind the cat to capture some of the heat

Either that or put a chunk of plutonium in the dpf and it would regenerate even when the engine is off. Would suck for those who parked in an enclosed garage

Just when you think reverse couldn't get any slower...

Personally hate how they made the chevys look... the GMCs on the other hand are a bit better looking and i could see myself driving one.

 

[prostreeter600]

I feel the opposite, I think the GMC front end is way too busy . The grille looks like it would be a PITA to clean up . To me the High Country grille and front end looks a lot smoother . I’m currently in a 2018 since Dec 2017 , I Love it and plan on trading it in on a 2020 in Dec . I will be looking at both the GMC and the Chevy though before making a final decision.

Any news on production and ordering dates?

Reverse will actually be faster now with the new 10-speed. Kinda disappointing actually, I like pulling stuff in reverse, it’s easier to see what you are doing and I like the lower gear.

4.54 is higher numerically than 4.48, but a lower and slower gear.

Look at the FINAL drive ratio, the rear gearing has to be taken into consideration. 6-speed is 16.710, 10-speed is 15.526.

 

[prostreeter600]

Hoser you have a point . Did they change the gear ratio in the trucks from 3.73 to 3.42 or something else ?

Yes they did, they went to a 3.42 axle ratio in the 2020s.

Sorry, didn't realize they made the switch in ring and pinions (only saw the trans ratios you posted).

 

[beach_33]

Another month gone and I haven’t been able to find any new info on the new trucks. How about everyone else?

 

[Chevy1925]

You can pre-order but that’s about it. Till you can actually order and they are being built come June/July, not much to see or gain info wise

 

[Hoser]

What info are you looking for? All details and specs have been released.

 

[beach_33]

Pre ordering info basically. I’ve got all the specs. I haven’t received notifications about ordering yet

 

[NC-smokinlmm]

I've been told to be patient, they are already behind schedule. Probally won't see many until end of the year...
