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.

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.

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

Mine started moving around 2500 miles and was really bad when I finally took it in. I own a repair shop and have access to GM electronic service info so I read the PI relating to the seats before I ever even contacted the dealer. I have a pretty good relationship with my service writer as I am pretty critical of these guys. My salesman who is a friend of mine hooked me up with one of there best writers who isn't full of BS as I would see right though it. When it ended up needing the recalls for the trans lines, transfer case and odometer peek in I had the dealer order the parts for the seat fix prior to taking it in. There are a couple of parts that do not come through the normal channels (GM service parts operations) but rather through their warranty department. It took a long time for them to get them in. I can say so far after the repair mine has been perfect, much tighter than it ever was even from the beginning. To be honest completing the whole repair outlined in the PI looks to be a huge PITA. I am wondering if some of the dealerships are actually completing all of the steps and or not getting all the parts which may be the reason some of you have been having repeat issues. Craig

Picked my Max tow 6.2 up 2/18/14 119 days after I ordered it. Swapped the factory Goodyear all seasons out for a set of Cooper Zeon LTZs yesterday. Craig

I own a repair shop and have access to a software program that can pull up OEM part diagrams and part numbers for several of the major manufacturers. Craig

Shooter I am in the same situation as mine will come with the all season tire (no other options with 6.2 and max tow). I have all the equipment to program the truck myself but it doesn't do me any good because all the stock size tires are all within a quarter inch of each other. I dont want to mess with an aftermarket tuner so my options are limited. I am pretty sure I am going to go with Cooper Zeon LTZ in the stock size. They were recommended by my buddy at Discount Tire, and they have decent reviews. I also have a customer with them on his Dodge and he really likes them and said they are quiet. I briefly entertained running 305/50/20s which are about an inch wider and the same height but thinking about it I don't want to deal with them rubbing without a level kit. Craig

Its an 8.1 gasser I couldn't afford the Duramax option it was another 30K LOL (included a diesel generator) The motorhome by itself averages right at 7mpg but I drive it like I stole it 75-78 mph on the highway. Its a little harder to calculate the mileage towing because my typical run with the trailer is just over 70 miles or so one way and we stay the weekend running the generator then fill back up when we get home. The times I have calculated it including generator gas usage it comes up around 4 mpg. If I figure around 6-8 gallons of fuel over the weekend it would come out around 5.5 mpg hauling the trailer. But like I said I don't baby it not even pulling the trailer. It drives like a car, it will even turn tighter than my old 2500HD crew cab. I like to run with traffic because it takes some time to get it up to speed and you either get stuck behind grandma doing 10 under the speed limit or hang with everyone else that averages 5 over or so. Craig

No pictures with my new Silverado hooked to it yet (GM is supposed to be building it next week) but here is my trailer with my Kodiak chassis motorhome. 28' enclosed car hauler weighs 9900 loaded with the car, quad tools and fuel. Craig

I found a PI a while back indicating that they were having trouble with the cabs being too sealed up and actually creating a vacuum causing dust to be sucked in when in full recirculate mode. It indicated the HVAC module could be programmed to only close about 90% in recirculate mode to correct this issue but the customer may loose some cooling/heating performance in extreme situations. Back then it sounded like it was customer choice if they had the dust issue it could be reprogrammed to fix it but the customer was to be advised that it wouldn't go to full recirc. Or leave it and deal with the dust (sounded like it was only in extremely dusty/dirty conditions) Maybe they started building them all that way or if you guys had any updates done and the tech wasn't aware of what the new calibration did they may have just stuck the latest and greatest in and ran with it.

If I looked these up right I believe this is what you are looking for. They are the black moldings without the appearance package. looks like the fronts retail for about 45 bucks and the rears about 50 LF pt#20964064 RF pt#20964063 RR pt#20963927 LR pt#20963928 Craig
