  1. No. It does not support GM global B platform that started in 2022
  2. That looks great. What did you end up doing to the front grill? Edit: saw you painted it yourself. Looks good. Wish I were motivated but I've got my track car Corvette, a Volvo I rebuilt the engine and trans on and currently re assembling into car, and a RX8 project car for the wife keeping me busy. The truck has just been driven to tow the other cars haha Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  3. I was looking between a 2020 AT4 and a Denali because I wanted the tech package. Was really hoping they'd ride the same, since it's primarily used to tow my Vette to and from race tracks. I don't really off-road. Twice a year I tow the Vette out to an area to drive it on fun roads and there's lots of fun off roads trails to go do in the truck, but they're not that crazy. The truck 99% of the time is on concrete or tows. So I wanted comfort on highway more than anything else. Figured I'd test drive both and see how different they were, thinking it wouldn't be noticable... That was disappointing haha. Plus I've towed with trucks that had off-road tuned suspension (aka more travel and softer) which is a tad sketchier with some weight behind you. Though I'm sure with modern assistants on these trucks, that's probably not an issue. I really like the Denali as a truck. It drives great on the highway. It's comfortable, and the cabin is quieter than the Accord EXL we got my wife. We take the truck on any drive longer than an hour. I knew it would be a pavement princess since the only reason I need a truck is to tow my other pavement princess (Vette) to tracks. I find driving road courses so much more fun ha. Now if only GM would allow you to get options on a truck you want with the looks you want... Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  4. If only the mag ride was an option on the at4. I drove both, liked the looks of the AT4 but the Denali rides better Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  5. I did look, but it didn't look like it would separate. It looked like there was molded plastic/melted plastic used to hold parts of it together. I can go take a closer look though, I still have the OEM grill. Regarding the window trim. If you are patient and have had success with vinyl, then go for it. I've built engines, transmissions, differentials, and made my own PCBs and write firmware. For the life of me, I cannot do vinyl. I tried to install it today after washing the truck. I made it through the 1st piece on the first window, realized it doesn't really fit right without heat guns and knives to trim and I threw that ****** in the trash. I loathe vinyl to begin in, and I loathe vinyl in precut kits that doesn't properly line up. So i guess if I want that chrome deleted, I'm goign to have to take it to a shop. fk vinyl
  6. It did. Came gloss black. Ready to install. Can't upload photos with Tapatalk unless you pay Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  7. It's sitting in in garage waiting for me to get motivated to work in the heat. Truck doesn't fit in my garage so I'm waiting for a cooler day haha. It's been surprisingly hot in DFW. I'm glad I have a mini split AC unit in my garage. It's the only reason I can work on the Vette haha. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  8. I bought it. It's sitting by my garage waiting to be installed. Looks to be a quality piece. Shipping was quick I just wanted to give the chrome around the windows a good cleaning. That one I was debating doing soon because it was so easy but getting the Vette ready for COTA is #1 priority for me right now Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  9. Honestly I haven't touched it. Between the triple digits heat and the fact I'm trying to get my Vette ready for a track event, I've not had time or motivation to touch the truck. I started trying to undo the lower piece and can't get my hands to anything so I took a break and haven't been back to it. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  10. Question, I can't find an answer to this online. When towing and wanting to view the trailer pressures/temps, is your only option to click through the head unit? Can you view it on your cluster under one of the pages? Does it show temp and pressure on the cluster, if yes? Anyone know if you can set an alarm pressure or if there's some sort of alert system if you get a low pressure tire? I'm trying to decide to go with the OEM tire pressure system, or save about $20 and go with a tire minder setup, which is a dedicated device and doesn't require remounting the tire to install the sensors. It has an alarm system, and could be moved between vehicles if I loan my trailer.
  11. If you're knocking on 91 octane, you've got other issues going on. Bring it in. I experience 0 knock with 87
  12. Haven't yet had a chance to get back out there and try it. I have the AT4 piece. I'm still really wanting to find a way to get at it WITHOUT removing the entire bumper, just because I'm 1 person and don't think I can do it by myself (risk of dropping it and trying to align it). I got most of the bolts out of it from the bottom, but there are 4 bolts on the sides that were extremely difficult to get to. I think I can do it with some swivels and an extension of appropriate length. I was out of town last weekend and couldn't work on it, but this weekend I think I'm going to give it another go. It's going to get done one way or another, just trying for the least stuff removed method first (which might be the most difficult, ha)
  13. I'm ignoring this yondu guy lol. He's just a prick that likes to argue. I suggest you do the same Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  14. Lol yeah. When it's a large portion of your career, hard not to be. Misinformation is frustrating and helps no one. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  15. Fair. I think the biggest difference you notice between the two is the 10 speed. Muuuuch shorter 1st gear ratio, really allows these things to move out from a dig pretty well. I'm coming from a 4 speed 4L80 in my cammed, head swapped, and stalled LQ4 in a 2003 2500HD lol. This 6.2 walks it from a dig (when it hooks, or if I use 4wd to launch). From a roll, I still think the 6.2 is faster The 2500 was a heavy girl, i got it across the scales and it weighed 6340 lbs and was making ~500 HP (crank, no idea what wheel was) over the stock 300 HP it made. I think my favorite thing about the 6.2 over the 5.3 when I was driving both was the torque at low RPMs. It would just effortlessly accelerate while maintaining low RPMs. Again, I'm coming from a stalled truck (3200 rpm stall), so when I was accelerating at all, i'd be at 4k rpm minimum. Perhaps it's a matter of perspective for me haha
