After months of hearing rumors and sneak pics of what is to come.
I decided to find out for myself what the new GMT 700 platform was all about.
Not just what you see on the internet, but what makes the new platform tick from the inside out.
My plan is to do a three segment review of the new GMT 700 platform.
Part 1 is to get familiar, 2nd is to put it on a lift and take it apart and the 3rd is to review the other twin, 2015 Chevy Colorado Z71.
My first task was to download the O/S and see what the GM guru's were up to!
HPTuners, You can download this O/S file from HPTuners "Tune Repository" 2015 GMC CANYON 3.6L.
NOTE: HPT has not approved of my uploaded file yet. You can request a file copy from me by sending me an email to: [email protected]
You will need HPT BETA 2.25 to be able to view/edit the file.
Facts
PCM: E92 SIDI
TCM: T43 A6
ODBIII Port located above the emergency brake pedal.
Hood with struts
Wide radiator with Efan, under the hood fuse box, Battery and windshield wiper reservoir.
Battery wedged in the driver side corner. I noticed the Battery Charging controller is now located on top of the battery.
I saw a shunt and possibly a battery temperature sensor.
THE PCM
Fuse Box
Chassis View
Transfercase and yoke
Not sure what this is?
Transfercase
Large U joints and yoke
Evap
Love the driver side mirror with the little blind spot mirror.
Exhaust
Under the transmission and exhaust cross pipe
Front Suspension
Plastic Skid plate
