New cutter on sea trials off of Grand Isle, La...pictures taken from Elmer's Islandl which let's you take vehicles onto the beach. Mid 60's but real windy!Had to use the 4x4 and try the E-locker while I was out there...a little different from my other truck's.

 

How ya liking the 3.31s and the EB?

 

Not as bad as I thought I would. From a dead stop it pull's a lot harder then the '11 with the 5.0 did that had 3.55's. Very impressed with this small displacement engine moving this heavy truck around.

 

I didn't think you could get 3.31 is a 4x4, but they're (potentially) better on gas, so that's good. My friend has a 4x4 Silverado with 3.08s (or something lower than 3.31) and it's no Camaro, but he could've fooled me. Those EBs certainly are quick though.

 

 

sad news.....due to the existing snow pack the expected 40-50* weather for this next week has been lowered to 30-40*....

 

I would have liked to get one with the 3.55's but even though I didn't think I'd like the 3.31's it's surprising me so far. Rated for 9200 lbs towing so that's plenty enough for me. Never once did I think year's ago that a 213 cubic inch engine could move a heavy pickup this fast!

 

Sorry to hear that...were supposed to be in the mid 70's next week.

 

Yep, 70 today, near 80 by the end of next week.

 

Guy I work with has decided to get rid of his 2011 Silverado with the 5.3. He's getting 14.5 overall and that is about 50% in town. Said stuff was breaking on it. Door handle, tailgate handle, plastic stuff inside. Has 40,000 on it.

 

Difference between 3.55 and 3.31 is only 7% as a final ratio. Hardly any noticeable, difference

 

I really don't get why they have so many options with so little difference. They could eliminate every other one seems like.

 

Two turbos sure don't hurt

Right?

My mom's 2011 Yukon's door handles have the paint/plastic on the inner part of the exterior door handles peeling off and it's got an AC temp sensor issue that they can't get to the bottom of and it only blow cold air when the temp is ALL the way down.
