  1. Anyone have the production numbers by color? This was a common argument for the Camaro while it was in production. Those that wanted blue were very vocal, but it was one of least chosen colors.
  2. Occurred at 20k on my 6.2. I'm at about 22k now and it's been fine. If anything, it's running better and I previously had a lifter tick, that is gone as well. One of the other topics has more details, but this doesn't appear to be a lifter design issue, but an issue with one of the sources or batches of the lifters. Id expect this to be a much bigger problem if it was actually a design issue.
  3. I just had this occur Monday morning. Silverado that just broke 20k miles. Tech found a broken lifter and two bent pushrods. They replaced the entire bank of lifters, guides, gaskets, etc.. Not my normal dealer as I was on my way home from out of state, and while I caught them off guard on a Monday morning and they had no open service slots available, they got it right into the shop and had the work completed by cob on Tuesday. If they had taken longer, it would have saved me a day or two on the car rental. Otherwise, very happy with the service. I will add, that ever since I picked the truck up new, it has had what I would call a lifter tic, usually at idle. I assumed at first it was because the truck didn't have premium, but it has always been present, regardless of the fuel used. That "tic" is no longer present. At least not that I've noticed yet.
  4. I would suspect, that like the Chevrolet, they are LED bulbs. My goto is Diode Dynamics, but they don't list any upgrade options for headlights or fog lights. Unlike my Chevrolet, where the fog lights can be replaced. Sorry that I couldn't help. Good luck.

  6. Last I heard, both the Chevrolet and GMC Sport Steps were no longer available due to supplier issues. At least they were at the beginning of the year. I originally ordered the 4-inch round steps with my truck and it put my order on constraint because they couldn't get those either. But I know they are still getting those as I still see the Rally Editions shipping with those.
  7. Just wanted to update and confirm that there is not power in the standard mirror cable. The cable I linked above, plugs into the fuse box on the passenger side and easily tucks into the headliner. It was a minute job, start to finish, and some of that was time going in and out of the garage for tools.
  8. You probably already have an answer, I don't know the details, but any decent Tire/wheel shop, or even website like tirerack.com can provide what you need without you needing to figure it out.
  9. Most likely, something in your order is on constraint (ie: not available). My order was accepted December 23rd . When my salesman checked the status on Feb. 1st, it was found that it was being held because it included running boards which were on constraint. He resubmitted the order the same day and I picked it up on March 1st. I'd say that if you don't get your order in the normal 6-8 weeks, then there is a reason and none of the "normal" scenarios or time frames will apply. Your salesman should be able to find out why it hasn't been built.
  10. Last time that I saw this mentioned, I believe it was determined that you would need to order them unpainted, and then have them painted or simply take it to a body shop and have them removed/painted/reinstalled.
  11. Seems to vary based on options, and lately there is the "chip" issue. As to delivery time, my order was placed December 23rd, was accepted and placed on constraint. On February 2nd, my order was resubmitted minus running boards (constraint item), was immediately accepted and I picked it up March 1st. But that was before the chip issue.
  12. You can generally get a better price by taking what's on the lot. Having said that, for what these cost, order and get exactly what you want. You can still take advantage of things like Supplier pricing and incentives. The difference being that you won't know what incentives (assuming they continue) will be available at the time that you take delivery of the truck.
  13. They're not bad looking, but I'm perfectly happy with the black rubber knobs in the RST.
  14. Meant to share these sooner.
