  1. You beat me to it Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  2. I have a 2020 Trail Boss LT with the 6.2. It's about as close to a Raptor as you'll get from GM. I have 3 kids, ages 10, 6, and 2. All 3 fit in the back seat just fine. They have plenty of space. With the offroad running boards installed, my 2 year old can climb into the truck an up into her seat on her own. I seriously considered getting an AT4 with the diesel, and if the 6.2 hadn't been made available I likely would've got it. I currently find myself taking 5 hour one way trips for my son's baseball tournaments at least once per month, and kind of wish I got babymax. However, I didn't know at the time of purchase how much COVID-19 would affect routine matters in my life. That doesn't mean I don't like the 6.2, but the mpg of the babymax goes a long way. My general lack of familiarity with diesel engines also had me second guessing, so I stuck with what I already knew -- GM gas V8s. Engines being irrelevant, I love my new GM truck. It's also the first truck I've ever owned. You also said you're looking to buy a travel trailer. That's a no-brainer: AT4 over Raptor. The softer suspension of the Raptor hurts its ability to tow.

  3. Hmm,... I never noticed this before. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  4. I'm with Jav_eee on this. What issue are you talking about? A few weeks after picking up my 2020 I moved from southeast Virginia to southwest California. I drove the entire way, and had zero problems. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  5. That sounds like it will look awesome. I'm concerned about the legality of having a red light on the front of your truck, though. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  6. Thursday I noticed my belt squeaking intermittently while driving a rough paved road at 35mph. My windows were down, and I was the only car in the area. Shortly after I threw CEL I had OnStar email me a diagnostic report. The error code is P25A2. In case you can't see the attached pic, it says: I wonder if the squeak is the alternator pulley.

  7. Thanks. I've been considering the Carhartt badges, but wasn't sure if the 2500HD badges were the same as the 1500 badges. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  8. Damn! I'm thinking I dodged a bullet with my 6/20 build date. 6900 miles on the truck, and nothing so far. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  9. Thanks for the writeup. That's going to be very helpful when I get around to doing this. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  10. Ordered OEM black exhaust cutouts for the rear bumper that come on the midnight edition Silverados. Then went to the carwash to find out my truck is too tall to use that carwash. With the light bar installed I estimate I need a minimum of 7'5" of clearance. This particular carwash was only 7'2". Truck is headed into the dealership Monday for its first routine service. Ironically, as the oil change notification came up, so did a CEL. That was Thursday. Had OnStar email me the DTC code readout. P25A2. I do suffer from the squeaking belt at start up. I wonder if this is related. Also notice the belt squeaking a bit more over bumpy roads at 35mph while I was driving with my windows open. Once I cleared the bumps the belt stopped squeaking. I wonder if the squeaking is associated with the alternator pulley. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  11. It's apparent some people are not here to be constructive contributors. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  12. Just rained in San Diego for the first time since April, or so I've been told since I moved here in December. Decided to take the opportunity to see if I had a leak. None so far, but will check again tomorrow since it'll be raining through tomorrow night. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  13. Step 1) Have an LTZ or High Country Step 2) .... I haven't figured this part out yet. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  14. Poppycock! Mario Andretti wouldn't be caught by the police. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  15. When I was told a truck was assigned to deliver my truck it took about a week until my truck got the lot. Then, the dealer does all of its BS, which will add a couple days. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  16. What model of glass is shattering? Could this be related to the window leaks, ie are the frames popping which causes a leak and also have the potential to shatter the glass? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  17. Seriously abridged version: Bought truck in early July from dealer in a state I'm not a resident of. Took possession of truck on July 31. Dealership sat on registration and titling paperwork until September (confirmed by state agency that handles the paperwork. Bank is now threatening to increase my interest rate on my loan because they don't have the titling info. I've also had to call the dealership for new temporary tags monthly. I'm now in another state. My state of residency returned paperwork to dealer last week because they didn't submit the forms I gave them in early July. Dealership told me I need to get a VIN verification completed. I've done this in other states before and know it takes a police officer a maximum of 2 minutes to complete. Utah says any police officer anywhere in the country can do this. California police officers say they can't. First police station sent to another, who sent me to another, and so on until I found out at the 5th one I need to schedule an appointment with DMV to get a police officer to sign a form (California once again finding ways to complicated things that don't need to be complicated). Later found out a military police officer can handle the VIN verification and sign the form. This whole ordeal took majority of the day. Hopefully I'll have permanent license plates by Thanksgiving.

  18. Instead of running to dealership first, has anybody considered having an independent leak test done? It would help you and the dealership figure out what's actually going on. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  19. I just saw this https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a34413904/watch-2022-electric-hummer-reveal/ Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  20. I don't like it, which is why I didn't get it. I have the Rough Country hard trifold. I wanted something more secure and water resistant than a soft rollup tonneau. That's also not my video. It's one I came across a few months back while researching tonneau covers that'll work with the sport bar. Seeing this thread reminded me of the video. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  21. It sounds like one way was up, and the other way was down. That could explain the mpg difference, too. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  22. Are you talking about the truck frame or the window frame? If the truck frame is cracked you'll have bigger problems than a leaking window. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  23. The soft rollup tonneau from GM Accessories will work. It's about $500. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  24. I'll take $89/hour any day. My dealer charges $175/hour. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
