Nolan,
It has 5 standard...
30/60
40/80
50/90
60/100
80/130
And then a level six which requires a code from Edge so that you can't run it with stock exhaust, tranny etc...
100/200
The info center pod is very nice. You can monitor just about anything 4 at a time, change levels on the fly, detect any DTCs, etc. I personally monitor my corrected speed (35" tires), EGT, regen mode, and boost.
So far so good...
I'll keep you posted.
Dave

No longer available in the new body Silverado or Suburban's they went to a new 6.0... Still available in the bigger trucks though

Not very impressed with the 8.1. Had many of our lot and they are a hard sell. Not enough power, I would rather have a 5.3, and like he said you can't pass a gas station.

Still can't tow 15k with a 5.3 though... But I do admit the 5.3 is a hands down Awsome engine... Power Torque and total reliability... and great fuel economy... Considering...

I wouldn't tow 15 K with a 8.1 either.
