I've got a 24 with the 5.3 and about 11500 miles. I do the first oil change early to get rid of break in material at about 1000 miles. Next oil change was at about 4k miles with the recommended 0w20 but switched to Amsoil. I did one more oil change at about 8K miles but this time switched it up to RedLine 5w30. Since the switchover on the last oil change, my pressure has been solid and there is no decline in oil level when I recently checked. I'll probably continue doing what I'm doing as it seems to be running great.

It looks like there may be a re-design for the new 2027 model. The frame around the slider is different. Not sure about the roof spoiler or any other potential leaking spots... 2027 Chevy Silverado To Feature New Rear Window: Photos

Ya someone elsewhere suggested chem guys leather cleaner. I haven't tried much else besides microfiber and water yet on the new 2024. On my older 18 I tried different chemicals I had in the cabinet and nothing seemed to work but I cared less because I was trading for the new truck and the detail department probably made it presentable to the next buyer. It just seems like the same problem on both trucks (similar or same black leather interior) and didn't know if anyone else had experienced these issues. I don't know if the dye is coming off because both situations had a rough surface (my carhartt coat on the 24 and the canvas dog bag on the 18) rubbing against it or is it something more innocent that can be cleaned off? Thanks

Attached is a couple pictures of my 2024 Silverado with the black leather interior. There's a couple white spots on the driver's door armrest and side of drivers seat. We've had a lot of snow cleaning this year with spillage when the door opens which would bring some moisture to these areas. My black Carhart coat (with the rough feeling material) also has these marks in the same area. The spots are not wiping off with water and a cloth. Any thoughts on what it is and how to remove? Now that I think about it, my 2018 with the black leather interior had the same problem on the pass seat where my dog's canvas supply bag would sit. I couldn't quickly clean that up either. Thanks

I ended up buying in MA about 8 months later. I got the same spec'd out truck as the 23 but it's a 24 and got it last August. I drove about 3 hours to get it so up and back same day. Trade was really good and new car price was decent for the time period. Right now the incentives are even better from GM. Laura definitely has some good prices, but for my specific case, given my age and other things, it wasn't in the cards for me to fly there and drive home. I did want to trade if possible because of the steep MA tax. The round trip shipping costs were approaching $3000 if I remember correctly and it may or may not go smooth based on some of the reviews I read. In the end I just didn't want to deal with some of the variables but I'm sure others have done it successfully. Good luck on your venture.

I've had numerous vehicles (Silverado's and Tahoes) built in Mexico over the years and have not had any noticeable issues, at least to me. I'm in the process now of trading my 18 LTZ in for a new 2024 LTZ, which happens to be built in Roanoke. I hope my good fortune continues from the USA assembly as well. As far as the crooked door jamb sticker, a heat gun or decal/adhesive remover would allow for that sticker to be removed. The dealer/body shop should be able to handle this if it bothers you. They would even be able to obtain duplicate stickers if necessary I would think.

Man that looks great. I was going to ask dieselfan1 for a tailgate shot like you just gave because I wanted to see how it matched with the chrome Silverado and Trim emblems. Thanks, beautiful truck!

What color decal is the Chevrolet on the tailgate? Chrome, Silver, etc? Did you get it at bdtrims? Thanks. Great looking truck

No, I just couldn't tell from your truck description or the picture. There are questions on whether "some" leaks come from the spoiler holes in the roof, but it appears the bulk of the evidence here is from the rear slider frame itself. Best of luck with the fix. The write up on this forum is excellent.

Do you have the rear slider?

Keep in mind trade value too. I've been looking for a bit and got a quote from a dealer an hour away for $5500 off MSRP 2023 Silverado LTZ (GM incentives accounted for $1000 of the $5500). So that was pretty respectable. Their trade however was abysmal (compared to some other dealers) and they wouldn't budge on it. Had another dealer a couple hours away with same vehicle for $3300 off MSRP but a trade of $4000 higher so in the end it is actually a better deal. I agree with the comments on increasing dealer inventory in the upcoming months will bring prices more down to earth but I think the used car market will continue to take a hit and trades will go down further too.

I can relate and I'm turning 60 in a couple weeks, so much harder than years ago.

I had them check again and you're right. They made a mistake and it's $1400 each way, which of course is considerable. Thanks for mentioning Steve.

Agree with you. I also have GM points approaching 2K. I need (want) to do the trade (if reasonable) at the same dealer to cut down on the F'ing Mass tax. I just spoke to a dealer closer to home and they're response on price was it's a different market in the mid-west. In other words, in the Boston area, they charge what the market will bear.

The ordering lead time is sad. I'm seeing more and more trucks hitting lots now though, but up here in the Northeast they're holding onto higher price points. I went out of state last time too and saved many thousands. The trip to MO is further though and I'm not as young as I used to be haha, so going straight 19 hours each way is something I need to think about. Why do you say No Way on shipping?
