I do tow a really heavy trailer and have had three 6.2 powered Silverados all optioned pretty much the same. Crew cab LTZs with the 6.2 and max trailering package. The 14 was a 6 speed and 3.73 gear the 17 was a 8 speed and 3.42 gear and the 20 is a 10 speed 3.42 gear. The 17 did get better mileage and was quicker with the 8 speed than the 14 but it did have the quirky shifting sometimes not enough to do anything about just mildly annoying. I have only had my 20 for 2 days but so far it seems to shift much smoother and has about the same power as the 17. That said I drove my brothers 19 LD double cab with a 5.3 and thought what a turd. Its about the same when I drive the wife's 5.3 18 Tahoe as it too seems under powered. She says the opposite that when she drives the truck it feels like a race car. I enjoy having the extra power do I absolutely need it??? Only occasionally when I am towing. Other than the initial cost and the premium fuel there really isn't a downside. I would recommend it as the 6.2 is way more fun to drive.

Crazy TPW was 2/10 I was checking with Chevy Chat all this week. Monday it showed 3300 and Tuesday it showed 3400 Thursday they said it showed "bayed" I emailed my salesman Thursday night trying to get an idea when it may show up. He called this afternoon and said he had the invoice with a shipping expiration of 2/18. Texted these pics a few minutes later after he decided to go over to the body shop lot where lots of their new stuff is dropped off. I am wondering if the paint is even dry. Pretty good turnaround seeing how we ordered it on 1/13/20 I should be picking it up early next week

Crazy supposedly it was built between the 11th and the 12. Chevy chat said it was shown to be on its way to the dealer today (I doubted it) I had emailed my salesman Yesterday to see if he had any info. He called and texted me the invoice this afternoon. Then he decided to take a run over to their body shop where new stuff is sometimes unloaded and holy cow he found it sitting in their lot he doesn't even have the paperwork at the main dealership yet. I am wondering if the paint is even dry LOL

The build dates are a Target Production Week not a specific date. Mine had the same date 2/10/20 I checked Monday and it was still at 3300 scheduled for production. I checked Tuesday and it was 3400 Broadcast for production. Checked again yesterday (Thursday) and it was built and showed as bayed in Indiana. Rep couldn't tell me the order status code but I am thinking it is 4B00. It is either waiting to be sent to have the spray on bedliner as I think they farm that out or it is waiting to be transported to my dealer. I have an email into my salesman to see if he has a delivery expiration date yet so I have an idea of when they plan to ship it. I would bet yours is probably built already as well. Hit up the chat on the Chevy or GMC website with your order number and they should be able to update you.

Ordered a CC short box 4wd LTZ 6.2 max tow Jan 13th TPW is next week. Love my 17 6.2 max tow and the 14 I had before the current one. Hope the 2020 is just as good.

Got the 14 all cleaned up today, Ready to give it back. I had to make second to last lease payment on it this weekend would have rather just given it back without doing that. 22,800 miles 2% left on oil life and less than 1/4 tank of fuel left . Salesman called a minute ago so excited to tell me mine actually showed up. Picking it up tomorrow at 1:00pm

You at correct they should be replacing the affected bank of lifters and the OLM along with inspecting the camshaft and replacing if damaged ENGINE MISFIRE/TICK NOISE, MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) ILLUMINATED, DTC P0300 SET TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINReference Number(s): 15-06-01-002E, Date of Issue: Oct 13, 2016 Affected Model(s): 2015-2017 Cadillac Escalade 2016-2017 Cadillac CTS-V 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2014-2017 Chevrolet Corvette 2015-2017 Chevrolet Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe 2016-2017 Chevrolet Camaro 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 2015-2017 GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL Equipped with 5.3L Engine (RPO L83) or 6.2L Engine (RPO L86, LT1, LT4, LV3) Attention: This Bulletin also applies to any of the above models that may be Export from North America vehicles. Supercedes: This Bulletin has been revised to add the 2017 Model Year and replaces PIP5316. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 15-06-01-002D and PIP5316. CONDITION Some customers may comment on a malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on and/or an engine misfire/tick noise. Technicians may find DTC P0300 set or in history. CAUSE This may be the result of an active fuel management (AFM) lifter that is mechanically collapsed and/or stuck all of the time. This may be the result of internal locking pin damage in the lifter, due to oil aeration. This may be the result of a lifter that has collapsed and is stuck in the lifter bore. CORRECTION NOTE: Inspect the camshaft for damage while the lifters are removed from the engine. If damage is found, replace the camshaft per SI. If SI diagnosis does not isolate the cause of this concern, technicians should inspect for valve operation. If the valve(s) are not moving, replace the valve lifter oil manifold and affected bank of AFM lifters. Refer to Valve Lifter Oil Manifold Replacement and Valve Lifter Replacement in SI. If the lifter has spun the bore, the guides should also be replaced. RECOMMENDATION/INSTRUCTIONS There are two approved processes for removing the lifter when stuck in the bore. Use vice grips with a slide hammer. NOTE: Be sure not to pry on the sealing surface of the block. Use vice grips with a small pry bar. Typically one of the above approved processes will remove the lifter that is stuck in the bore. If not, the engine will need to be replaced. With the lifter removed, be sure to inspect the bore for any damage. Typically the lifter bores will look good with no indication of damage.

Found this doesnt look good to me

Well my excitment for mine being off the train was short lived. Talked to my buddy who is my salesman today and he said what followed would be the strangest conversation he has had to have with a customer. Apparently somewhere along the way from Mexico the train had a partial derailment. Supposedly no train cars tipped over but my truck after finally making it to the VDC is being held for a quality control inspection. I guess GM has already bought back 2 Chevy Trax destin for my dealer that were on the same train. Hoping mine wasn't in one of the train cars that had issues.

Cool thanks for the link, I can buy the OEM ones at wholesale and they get delivered right to my shop for no extra charge I got some good news this morning apparently my truck is off the train and waiting for a semi from the VDC about an hour away. Hope they get it to me before the end of the month as the deals are pretty decent right now. Not sure which way they are going to move. I could do the deal now and take my chances but I did that last time around and actually my first payment came in the mail before the truck was delivered which just added insult to injury LOL

Those tie downs look pretty stout. I had planned on ordering the factory ones, but somehow it was missed on the build sheet. Where did you order those from? My truck BTW is still in transit, has not been seen since it was in Kansas City railyard back on 2/7 was supposed to be here by last Monday but may not even be in MI yet Grrrrrrr.

Completley normal and part of the fly by wire Throttle Actuated Control (TAC) programming. They just don't want to slam the throttle blade shut as on these there is no Idle Air Control (IAC) on the TAC equipped vehicles. On older vehicles the throttle blade was connected to the gas pedal via a cable and had a set screw adjusted to just slightly open the butterfly. The idle was controlled by an IAC which was a stepper motor with a pintle (pointy shaped tip) on it that would extend and retract in a corresponding orifice that allowed air to bypass the throttle blade. When you stepped on the gas the IAC would lift off it's seat to "catch" the idle on the way back down as the throttle was released. Because the sizing on the orifice was about as big as your pinky finger it could respond pretty quickly. If the valve was seated all the way in not bypassing any air the engine would idle pretty low usually about 200-300 below what the computer would target, if it was fully open with the throttle blade closed it would idle about somewhere about 2000 or so. That gave the computer a pretty sensitive and far ranging idle control. On TAC vehicles the position of the throttle blade dictates minimum airflow and idle speed. If you think about how the area increases as the throttle blade is opened it changes pretty drastically close to where the blade sits at normal idle speeds. They slow down its closing close to idle to make sure the vehicle doesn't stall. It happens while driving also but not as noticeable as when it is being revved with no load.

I looked at all 3 schematics for the amp speaker wiring the all show BU/GY and GY/BK for the sub. If it helps they are pin 1 and pin 5 in connector X1

Good deal you did a lot better than I did, mine was 85 days between ordered and built and has been in shipping for 14 more now. Shipping expiration is next Monday hope to have it soon. Ironically my 2014 took 16 weeks and I got it 2/18/14 Weird that they both followed almost the exact same timeline 3 years apart. Especially since my salesman who is a buddy of mine said it wouldn't take as long this time around LOL.

Of course it's all tentative but yes that means that's the latest it should be at the dealer.
