  1. The 'holding incentives' thing was for 1500's that were ordered in December, and was not something they usually do. Normally the incentives after it arrives are the ones that apply. No sure if if they've continued 'incentive hold' for orders mad in January and/or made it available for vehicles other than the 100's.
  2. The 23 ft thing is also in the OM. Trailer Tire Pressure Setup If the Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TTPMS) is detected, touch the Tire Pressure Monitoring icon to set up tire pressure monitoring. Touch Yes to set up the sensors or touch No to return to the previous screen. The trailer tire pressure sensors can transmit up to 7 m (23 feet) from the hitch receiver of the vehicle. A trailer must be electrically connected to the vehicle before starting the sensor-to-vehicle learn process.
  3. Boards and flaps both help avoid paint damage.
  4. GM figures you don't need a weight distributing hitch on a 1500 if the trailer is under 7000#. n
  5. ^^^This^^^ For a period of time, Z71 was different shocks, skid plates, bigger air filter and badges/decals. Probably most often added to 4wd's, but not always.
  6. I don't think you have anything to worry about. The transmission oil was warmer when parking because the torque converter would have been slipping making more heat that it does when at steady speed on highway, but there would have little or airflow thru the oil cooler. The computer is monitoring all the sensors that are installed. It WILL give a warning if/when it thinks the temperature is to high, and may even go to reduced power until it cools some - because it wants to 'self-protect'.
  7. Take it back so they can try again. They don't all do this, so clearly there is something in need of repair.
  8. Single speed transfer case is still 4wd. AWD normally refers to a system that is always driving all 4 wheels. And, for along time, even with the floor shifter for the transfer case, there was still the electric actuator on the front axle.
  9. Tire pressures that match the door label are for when it's at rated load. They (especially the rear) can be lowered when it's running empty.
  10. Seems like the become publicly available as stuff goes out of the bumper to bumper warranty. 2018 ones are available now for silverado/sierra. HelmInc is the official provider for many brands. They have owners warranty etc manuals available sooner than shop manuals. https://www.helminc.com/helm/homepage.asp?Style=helm https://www.helminc.com/helm/Result.asp?Style=helm&Mfg=GMC&Make=CHV&Model=SILV&Year=2018&Category=1&Keyword=&Module=&selected_media=
  11. Steering set-up is different now. We don't hear about that steering clunk issue on the newer ones. FWIW, 2010 and earlier had 11. With the new chassis in 2011 2019 there were 9, and it sounds like the new 2020+ chassis is also 9.
  12. I wonder when it was born, and if they are still substituting. (and giving a credit) Updates show several recent changes transmission usage/availability. Order guide still shows for SLT , the 10 speed is Standard on 4WD models equipped with (L84) 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 engine. Included and only available with (L87) 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 engine or (LM2) Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel I6 engine. and the 8 speed is Standard on 2WD models equipped with (L84) 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 engine. No longer available on 4WD models with (L84) 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 engine.
  13. Good catch. (in my defense, I guess I was focusing in the trims that the OP was asking about...) Currently... On LT TB - Always gets the 10 speed. It has 2 engine choices - 5.3 and 6.2. On high country it depends. 5.3 is standard, 6.2 and 3.0 available. 8 speed - Included and only available with 2WD models equipped with (L84) 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 engine. 10 speed - Included and only available with 4WD models, (LM2) Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel I6 engine or (L87) 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 engine.
  14. Not really. But of course, there are also those that leave a standard gate down and then have an 'opportunity' with the corner of the trailer they are pulling. And there are those that have opened a standard gate and hit a fixed trailer jack. The 'internet' isn't up in arms about either of those possibilities. I just figure most don't need protecting from themselves. OTOH, some will require an expensive lesson. For all the reasons in my previous post, the ball mount gets removed from mine when it's not hooked to one of the trailers.
  15. Great looking truck! I'm jealous of the shop space....
  16. Yes. You can only get 4 'with the truck' at the cheaper price, but can buy more thru accessories,. System can read 6 at once, so can be used work with 3 axle trailers. System saves 'profiles' for the trailers you pull. Each can have sensors it you want. (but you don't have to) You can also have a 'guest' trailer - so you don Same as 2019, my 2021 came with : GM p/n 84152501 433MHz Made in UK $150 per pair form GM accessories (as GM likes to do, there is a different part number for a 'package of 2 sensors' Part No. : 84338125 The oic with that part number show the parts, with the number posted for the 2019, and that came with mine. They look like this: https://accessories.gmc.com/product/trailer-tire-pressure-indicator-sensor-package-84338125?year=2021&make=GMC&model=Sierra 1500&modelId=548&body=Crew Cab Pickup&bodyId=22&wheel=Standard Box&wheelId=652&trim=Denali&trimId=577&drive=4WD&driveId=8&engine=3.0L L6 DIESEL&engineId=17881&bodyNumDoors=5&categoryId=106004 The black stemmed ones, also on the accessories site look like the ones on the truck. Tire Pressure Monitor (XL8 - 433 MHz) Part No. : 84413357 They are $40 each, so about 1/2 the cost of the trailer sensors. Perhaps because they don't do tire temperature? Anybody know for sure? They look like this:
  17. Continues to be quite a saga. Really hope they find a cause, and release the info, so we know what caused the issue.
  18. I think they figured their customers were smart enough to not need it...
  19. Some owners shouldn't be trusted with tools.
  20. They should start showing up anytime noew. Multi-flex was added to the 1500 silverado order guide mid-December 2020.
  21. There are always in-year changes too, but these were changes for start of 21 model 1500.

  22. Whip antenna is better at receiving the wavelengths used for am/fm. (and a long one works better than a stubby)
  23. doozer is correct about factory order not currently available Order guide shows: SF6 LPO, Body color wheel arch moldings, (dealer-installed) Not available at this time. Requires exterior paint (GAZ) Summit White, (GBA) Onyx Black or (GSK) Cayenne Red Tintcoat. Not available with (VQK) front and rear Black molded splash guards, LPO or (PDH) GMC Interior Protection Package, LPO. Colours listed are for SLT trim. Others trims may be different (like white frost on a Denali)
  24. I'd take it back. First attempt was a different sensor. Second attempt might be the receiving module on the truck.
  25. Welcome! I picked up on the Superduty too -- or at least wondered if that was what it was. Kobota behind the truck? For those wondering about the '73/'74 455 https://www.hemmings.com/stories/article/1973-74-pontiac-firebird-formula-and-trans-am-sd-455
