All jokes aside, a GMC 1500 AT4 is on my short list for what I'm replacing this F-250 with so I've been doing a good bit of research on this babymax. I'm gonna give it some time before I make a decision since it's still fairly new, but everything I've seen so far has been positive. Outperforms everything else offered in a half ton truck and also has slightly better performance (all things considered) than Ford's gas 7.3 everybody is so crazy about
I don't understand the market for a half ton truck in a diesel motor. You get all the issues that come with new diesel engines without the pulling capacity of a 3/4 ton truck. Seems like you just get good fuel mileage (which is offset by the other costs of owning a diesel)
Having major trouble with the 6.2. Lifters I think

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

I’ve got a ‘21 AT4 with the 5.3 and a camper shell. Family vacation last week from Charlotte to Kitty Hawk, 1k+ miles round trip. Highway to and from, town driving while there. Averaged 19.9mpg from driveway to driveway. It averaged 20.6 to and from Kansas last year, but sadly I won’t get to calculate that trip again this year.
To me that’s plenty good MPG and don’t have the additional headaches that come with a baby diesel. I shopped all 3 motors when I bought it, and would likely choose the 5.3 if I were buying again today.
Tires or suspension upgrades?
Sea Ark 1542 w/ Yamaha 40
Xpress 16 w/ 50 Hammer
War Eagle 15 w/ 30 Hammer

This bitch is thirsty! Ridgeville to FayetteNam today. 7.3 4.30 gears empty. Historically it read .5 better than hand calculation too.

I’m not disagreeing, just stating it’s more thirsty than a diesel.
Bone stock except the camper shell. It’s only got like 22k miles on it now. Mine has the 10sp trans. When these tires wear out I’ll take it to kevin and have him put on the biggest toyo that’ll fit without a level. From some light reading on the internet a level and bigger tires suck the mileage out of the AT4 with a quickness.
