Hello guys.

hope you guys are doing good!

I was checking under the hood of my truck yesterday, and i spotted this weird spot.

seems like it has a thread inside. Is this normal? All new 2021 gmc has this? Im going for a long drive this sunday, just wanna know before i go.

Lots of parts are have thread holes that aren't used, either for when the part was made or because it's used on another platform with the same style engine. I can't tell what part that is seeing how it's covered up by everything else.

Yes, it's normal.  My 2020 Silverado 5.3 has the exact same "empty" threaded hole on it.  No idea what it's for, but you're not missing anything.

Could’ve been used as a mounting hole for a handhold during assembly? Just a thought.
