  1. i had a 20 and a 21 gasser. traded the 21 in on the 24. very noticeable difference in a good way with the 10 sp as soon as i pulled out of the dealerships lot. transmission shifts very smooth and the first few gears make the whole truck feel alot stronger than the 20 & 21. anxious to get the trailer behind this one but that may be a while. so far the truck is very nice , interior is also a huge upgrade and i never thought i would say that cuz i always thought the 20-23 interior was pretty nice. . the only truck out of the last 4 that doesn't have a tire balance issue from the start the Google software will take a little time to get use too after having a 18,20 and a 21. only have 57 miles on the truck so far LOL, but i love it and thumbs up for the 10sp. hopefully i can say that in 6 months.
  2. Ordered a Black High Country Gas. picked it up yesterday. ordered and accepted.......1/28/23 tpw of.......3/13/23 updated to shipped/4200........4/1/23 at the dealership ready for pick up........4/3/23 pretty quick considering start of production was around 3/3/23
  3. I ordered a High Country gasser in Blk on 1/28,it was accepted (2000) before i left the dealership. I got a call from my dealer today telling me the order was picked up and was at event code 3300 with a target production week of 3/13, next week sometime. hopefully it happens on time.
  4. Nice!! and good luck .
  5. i got lucky and only had to drive 250 miles from N.E. Ohio to N.W. Indiana. i trade every 2 years and wanted to take advantage of the good trade values before the bubble burst. i missed quite a few of trucks for 1 reason or another in 6 weeks of hunting from Massachusetts to just west of Chicago. even had a 22 ordered but didn't want to take the chance of when it would arrive thinking the trade values would change . i ended up locating the exact 21 truck i had ordered in the 22, it was in transit and i was able to put a deposit on it before it hit the lot. i didn't have to take or give up anything i didn't want, got lucky but it took some persistence. i traded a 20 LTZ HD i purchased in august of 19 when the new models came out and got more money on the trade than i paid for it 22 months ago.
  6. traded my black 20 LTZ for a 21 cherry red tint coat high country, got a great trade for my 22 month old LTZ .
  7. my order for a 22 got submitted this past friday (6/4) and the dealer was pretty specific that he had no problem honoring the employee discount but wasn't going discount it any further, which iam perfectly fine with, for me that's how it has always been done in my area, plus incentives of course but this time i'am 300 miles out of my area so i wasn't sure how they would do it . i'am just happy that they were willing to honor it. my dealer had 2 allocations , he checked and said there were no constraints on what i ordered and the order has been submitted so , so hopefully this one will happen .
  8. just make sure the dealer knows which GM discount you are using as mentioned in one of the previous posts so you get the correct pricing and you can also make sure they give you the correct pricing..
  9. i considered the multi flex and do like being able to stand closer to the bed for loading and unloading and the load stops but i decided on the standard tailgate because i didn't want to give up the power up and down feature.
  10. LOL, since she has to get you the number.... you may have a problem there
  11. i wonder if many dealers will negotiate in todays truck market? even on a factory order. it will be interesting to see since it seems like many are selling their current inventory at or above msrp. by chance do you have any family members that are current or retired GM employees. the discount is cut and dry and if your dealer chooses to accept it there is usually no negotiating.
  12. they are in Dowagiac, iam 50miles south east of Cleveland, right on the Ohio /Pa line about 4.5 hours or so from you and 5 hours from the dealer. a few of my buddies have found and bought trucks in Michigan within the last few months. good luck with your search, if you don't have any luck where you are let me know and i will give you his contact info, the only experience i have with the dealership is what i have listed so hopefully all the good stuff continues
  13. he is reordering the 21 now as a 22. i had to make the decision on the tailgate ,everything else is the same. what he said was he will place the order in the system Saturday and it should be accepted soon, then we wait for production in mid July, he also said retail sold orders are getting built fist. he told me last week that he thought the 21 order wouldn't be accepted and that by the middle of this week he would know that for sure and he would also know his 22 allocations. he seems to call me on Thursdays with updates. i read somewhere that the dealers get their allocations every other Thursdays. when he placed the 21 order it was on a Saturday and within 15 minutes of me hanging up the phone he text me the preliminary order confirmation along with the order number. I've never met him since the dealership is 300 miles away in Michigan but he sure seems straight up with the communication. i also asked him about constraints ,he asked the sales manager and said there were no constraints on 22 high country's. i could here him checking with the sales manager when he answered some of my questions that he didn't know the answers to. i hope this is all accurate info.... thats what i know so far ,we will see how it unfolds. this dealership had the same truck on the chevy build and price site. i hit the click and shop button to purchase the vehicle at 10pm on a Wednesday nite, at 9am Thursday morning i found out someone did a deal on it just before they closed on Wednesday nite and i missed it by hours or it would 've been in my garage 3 weeks ago. i trade my trucks every 2 years and this one has been challenging to say the least.
  14. got a call from the dealer this morning saying the 21 i had on order from mid may isnt going to happen, so i decided to just order a 22 the exact way i wanted it and end the craziness, LOL. good luck to everybody trying to hunt a 21 down
  15. really no changes for 22. multi flex tailgate, some kind of seat belt adjusters and no more brown and a green added. thats it. i think the biggest surprise for 22 is when can orders be placed? my dealer says 7/1 and when will production start? my dealer says 7/12 and then how long is build time? nothing is normal as we know it. but who knows what will really happen . only time will tell and then there are the constraints, what are they? when will they be lifted? it is just plain nuts. id rather order a 22 but if a 21 can be found at least you can see what you are getting. i've been searching 1000 miles ,3 different colors , LTZ's and High Country's in the morning and in the evening and really no luck, but i sure have missed quite a few and only by hours on some.
  16. iam very interested in the answer to the same question also. the exact same thing has been happening to me, i have missed 4 trucks by hours within the last 7 days and have also expanded my search out to 1000 miles, added a few different colors and even 2 models to my wish list. i have also noticed that they are not removed very fast either after they are no longer available. there was a truck that i know was no longer available for 2 1/2 weeks and was still listed as of 2 nights ago. its looking like i am just going to order a 22 but was trying to take advantage of the current trade values by finding something in transit or in stock.
  17. you can reset your password on OnStar's site
  18. LOL ,you know, that is getting to be a big problem. we finally bought a couple of alphabetized password books and write everyone down. i was just gonna use my phone to store them but then i thought a old fashioned paper book would always be better.
  19. just click enter password and enter your onstar/my chevrolet password. mine pops up from time to time . my truck and my wifes blazer are on my onstar account, sometimes when they are both in the garage seems like the key fobs and each car gets confused and thats when it asks for the password, i never tried to figure out why it does it cuz its generally fine for a long time until they get confused again.
  20. AA and CC is ok but it doesn't project route guidance to the HUD like the factory nav does. In my opinion route guidance displayed in the HUD is a very nice feature, especially when you are on busy highways towing a large trailer. No factory nav is a deal breaker for me.
  21. Does anybody know when the 2022 HD ordering guides will be available? and when orders can be taken by dealers? The 2500 and 3500's aren't listed yet on the GM Fleet Ordering Guide. Thanks
  22. i agree , mine was a 04 and absolutely trouble free for 125k miles. in fact it was the longest i ever kept a truck. 11 years. i was out of touch with the truck market in that time and when i decided to order a 15 i was very disappointed that there was not a big block on the order list. i always bought 454's, and then the 8.1 . everybody whines about the 8.1 mpg but i dont buy a 4wd 2500 with he biggest gas motor i can buy to worry about gas mileage. i love my 20 with the gas motor and will replace it this fall or next spring with another 6.6 gas. a 8 or 10 speed trans would be nice though.
  23. very much agree also, along with the whole upgraded truck over past generations, but my 04 with the 8.1/Allison was also a great combination just a little rougher at the pump.
  24. I have the GM in channel design which i believe are made by EGR. the fella at the parts department said all the guys there have them on their trucks and told me when i put them on try and do it when it is warmer and to leave the windows up for 3 days, if they cause the window to retract, open the window and push outward on the deflector. i had to do that a few times and they seem to be ok but to be honest i would rather have the outside mount but the in channel design is much better looking when installed. i originally ordered the GM outside mounted design but didn't like the way they were opened on the front side near the mirror
  25. My 2020 2500 built 8/19 is also leaking. Just noticed it over the weekend. Small drips in the upper corners of each side, then dripping on the top corners of the back seats, also has stained the corners of the headliner.
