Approximately how long does it take for the Lm2 Duramax to break in. I've heard it can take about 2k miles for the compression to build before you see better MPGs and power. Does that sound right?
Also what is the best way to drive the Tahoe w/ the Lm2 to maximize efficiency?
Regarding flipping the one you have on order, ensure your dealership doesn't make you sign something that prevents you from doing it. When I took delivery of mine, they made me sign that.
Apparently someone bought 3 blazers from them and immediately took them to auction and pocketed $5k profit...
I responded in that thread already. My only comparison is the 5.3 which revs harder and sounds better (not to say the dmax doesn't sound good), but the Dmax definitely has more torque. It doesn't need a heavy foot to get it moving which I like. I come from smaller cars with smaller engines...
I've put about 150 miles on it already. So far I like it a lot. Not only is it my first GM product, its also my first diesel. The Dmax is definitely a good engine. I had driven the 5.3 earlier but I like the Dmax better. I'm already getting an average of 26 mpg on most trips and I hear...
Picking it up today, 6/6!
ETA depends on a few things. 1) Did it even get built yet? Double check that first. 2) Did your vehicle end up at Midlothian waiting on chips/parts? 3) If it shipped, how? Mine was on a truck for 2 days. Some end up on rail cars. Trucking is probably faster...
So come to find out, mine is on a truck from Arlington to Nashville. Apparently they just put it on a truck and its a 2 day drive. It should be here tonight (delivery Monday most likely).
Spoke w/ my dealer this morning after posting this video. I asked the question about rail versus truck and the shortage of transportation. Based on his answers, it seems like that video is pretty spot on. The issues we're feeling were started w/ parts shortages but as assembly caught up...

If I had to guess using that PDF, it'll be dropped off at 200 Crescentville Road West Cincinnati, OH 45246 or 2188 Lyntz Townline Rd Warren, OH 44481 (edit due to the fact i missed the 2nd page for...
Mine was already produced but not yet delivered. I'll follow this thread to see how y'alls experiences go.
One thing I noticed in this thread, that a lot of the previous constraints are getting built. The biggie being the Duramax.
I saw that too, which is what made me look into freight rail maps.
Makes me wonder how long our cars could sit between rail carriers or between rail and truck. Might be an explanation for those who bounce between multiple statuses (like 4B00, 4200, and 4300).
