I canceled my order for my 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 3.0l Duramax, because I was able to locate one in a neighboring state. I found the best way to locate a truck, was to keep checking autotrader and look for newly listed. Set your criteria, and look in your area. If you see something newly listed, contact the dealer. The truck I saw as newly listed was spoken for, but the salesman said he would look to see what they had coming in. They had my truck coming in, and I put a deposit on it. The rest is history. I got a 2022 1500 Elevation with the Duramax, X31, and driver alert package. Anyway, as far as the heated steering wheel and seats retrofit, how are they going to notify the customers that the vehicle is ready for the retrofit? My salesman had surgery the day I picked it up, so I forgot to ask, and was not told the process. Will the dealer call? GM will notify customers? Thanks

Well, after ordering my Sierra 1500 with the 3.0l diesel, I actually found one at a dealer, and is currently being shipped. Will be here Tuesday 1/25. I have a house in northern VT, and it gets extremely cold there at times. This past Sunday was -22F. Reading the manual online, it says DEF freezes at 12F. What about the fuel gelling? Is all this negated by just plugging in the block heater? Is there and additive to the DEF or fuel to resist freezing? Thanks in advance.

Deer just ran into the side of my 2021 Genesis G70. 5,100 in damage.

I ordered my 2022 Sierra 3.0l diesel on 12/20. I think I'm screwed.

What is the average wait time on an order? Also, because of supply chain issues the truck will not come with heated seats or heated steering wheel, but according to the sales person these will be fitted later when supplies return. Anyone have any experience with that?

I just ordered a truck today. On the managers sheet you could order Satin Steel which I did. Not sure if I will get it though. On the web site its not there.

Well, I just put an order and deposit on a 2022 Sierra 1500 SLE with the 3.0l Duramax. My 2018 SLE has been a good truck, but honestly, I'm sick of the POS shifting 6 speed. The clunk from 3-2 and 2-1 was so annoying. Now the wait which I hear could be 6-8 months.

WOW, great explanation. I would NEVER have known.

Well, not so fast. Got 3 quite harsh downshifts today. It's so random it's annoying. I go get a coffee every morning with my dog and drive around listening to the news. Some days it's perfect, some days it's shit. Thinking of changing out the fluid now that the lube guard did not take it away completely. It is better though.

LMAO.

A full bottle, 10 oz. It says 1oz per quart of tranny fluid. How much do our 6 speeds hold.

So, my truck has the dreaded clunk when downshifting, especially noted when hard braking. Even my wife noticed, and she doesn't usually notice anything. I read somewhere to add lube guard red. I was a little hesitant because the truck is still under warranty with 27k miles. I couldn't take it anymore though, and added it. It made shifting, and especially downshifting 90% better. It did not eliminate it completely. but now way more often than not, it does not clunk.

This. Broke both ankles 11 years ago and now have arthritis in ankle joint. Really bothered me when getting up for the first time, anytime I sat more than a couple hours, especially if there was AC. Started using CBD cream in July, and i'm like a new man. No more pain, except if I stand for a long time, and even that is nowhere near what it used to be.

Carry Springfield Armory EMP 3", or Ruger American Pistol, or S&W Shield. All in 9mm. Rotate depending on my mood. Mostly go with the Springfield because it is just a rock solid gun, and I am most accurate in the 1911 platform.

I leave mine on for weeks, no problem.

OK thanks. Mine has 132k miles on it and noticed recently when it goes into V4, there is a very slight vibration in the motor, then when I step on the gas and goes to V8 the vibration goes away. I just ordered the range disabler.

OP, how did you know you had a problem? What was the truck doing?

Where is the brake switch? Mine is not working now either.

S&W Shield 9mm, or Sig P938, or Walther PK 380 (rarely). Have one on my side everywhere I go. Never gonna be a victim of a random act of violence again.

Hauled 2 cord of wood. Not all at once but all in the bed.

2007 Sierra 5.3 iron block here. No oil consumption after 61k miles. Absolutely love the truck.

Dude, I think you need some therapy.
