Transient

The next step is to have a car transport assigned to it. That could take a few weeks. Then, once it is assigned out could take another week or 2 before it gets delivered. Just going of my experience last month. Hopefully yours is better. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Again, not my claim. It's GM's. However, I'm not seeing anybody provide supporting evidence, such as numbers. It's only anecdotal claims. Here's a counterclaim, but unfortunately no numbers are provided either. https://chevroletforum.com/articles/is-wax-frame-coating-the-secret-to-success-for-chevy-trucks/ Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

You'll see it in September, imo. My truck was in Baltimore the first week of July, but didn't arrive at my dealership in Chesapeake, VA until July 28th. It was almost a full 4 weeks. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

1) Yet, the fully primed, sealed, and painted frames are rusting. 2) I did point out that's what GM is saying. Those aren't my words. The product GM uses is called Nox-Rust. GM also has a TSB on treating rusty frames. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10154649-9999.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiPtpiN77frAhVIQq0KHUI0BcoQFjALegQIAhAB&usg=AOvVaw0r4K_YpNNsZLqu9ln1KW8L Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Not a flash drive, but on my cell phone I have over 2,100 songs. My truck has no problems reading and playing them when I'm not using Android Auto. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

First, the water is condensation from the AC. Even Toyotas do it. Everything is fine. Second, that's not a poor undercoat. It's a wax undercoat. GM offers to use wax on the frame to resist rust because they believe it is better than what everybody uses, and it's self-healing. Give it a little bit of time and that spot where you rubbed your finger on it should smooth out and recover the frame. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I actually did this with my 6.2, but didn't take a video. Sorry. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I have them too. I don't regret buying the truck with them, but the extra width is a factor worth considering when going to places like the carwash. All mirrors create blind spots. So do the A pillars, but we manage to work around that. It's no different. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

GM recommends a minimum of 91 octane for the 6.2, so that's what I use. The best mpg I've seen on the highway is 23.1mpg, however, it's usually 19.X while unloaded. The truck seems to be accurate to the numbers. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

With trailering mirrors you don't need those features. You're able to see what's in your blind spot. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

One thing I've learned about owning various GM vehicles for almost 20 years as that they often have difficulty getting new things (for them) right the first time. The 3.0 Duramax is new, whereas the 6.2 is older. There has been time to find many problems in the 6.2 and get those issues resolved. Furthermore, every gas station in the country has gasoline. Not all of them have diesel. When you need to fuel up, you need to fuel up. I didn't want to run into a situation where I couldn't reach a gas station that had diesel because it wasn't available at the exit I got off the highway at, and I then had to get back on and continue my trip to the next gas station. If you're going up hill towing, the odds of making it up decrease significantly. Another area of concern is that diesel engines are heavier than gasoline engines. This not only reduces the weight you can tow, but also places more bias on the front end. I have family in Northern Utah, and driving there in the winter is likely. I need the weight between the front and rear axles as close to 50/50 as possible when unloaded to have the best possible traction for climbing hills. Growing up in Northern Utah, I've seen many times where an unloaded 4x4 truck couldn't make it up a snowy hill. I was initially leaning towards buying a Sierra AT4 with the 3.0. Once i decided to get the 6.2 V8 I could no longer justify the $6,000 price difference between the Sierra AT4 and the Silverado Trail Boss, so I went with a Trail Boss LT. Getting the gasser also allowed me to have some features GM doesn't offer with the diesel, such as cool air intake and catback exhaust. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

The backup camera, that's on the majority of the trucks, makes it so easy that a caveman could do it Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Arrival Blue? I thought they came in Northsky Blue? How is it that people are getting these special colors that aren't listed on Chevy's website? I would've loved to have Arrival Blue. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I grew up in Northern Utah. I'm use to both extremes of hot and cold, but that's relatively dry compared to Hampton Roads. I hope you're ready for flash flooding Tuesday and Wednesday. This will be my 2nd tropical storm this month. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Rookies, lol. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Real men do it in the USA. I enjoy going fast on the Bonneville Salt Flats, where there is no traction. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I arrived in Texas yesterday. San Antonio to be specific. I'll take this heat any day. I left Norfolk, VA where it's a lot more humid, which makes things miserable. I'm headed to southern Nevada in a little over a week, and it's 10°+ hotter out there. As for your dealer charging you an hour and getting the ECU reflashed, that's a decent deal.

I had the same questions as the OP when researching trucks. It sounds like my clone scenario. Socal, towing, family, etc. At the end of the day I went with the 6.2. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I'm another with the GMPP exhaust, but I also have the GMPP CAI too. It's quiet while crossing at highway speed, but put the throttle down and it rumbles to life. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

The GMPE exhaust is very easy to install. You don't need a shop to do it. Just back your truck onto some famous in the driveway and get to work. Only tools I needed, iirc, were 13mm (or 1/2 inch) socket and a Sawzall with a metal cutting blade. Putting the new exhaust in easier that taking the original exhaust out. If still decide to go to a shop, and they charge you more than an hour of labor, imo you're getting ripped off. It took me 2 hours to do it in my driveway. Getting the truck in the air would have stopped it up, by not by much. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Which Camaros? Iirc, there's 4 different engines in that car. Also, there are differences between LT1 and L87, even if the architecture is the same or similar. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I have the intake and exhaust on mine. Just drove 1800 miles with it from Virginia Beach, VA to San Antonio, TX. The exhaust didn't bother me one bit. I took I-40 all the way across Tennessee. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I have a 6.2 with the GMP CAI and exhaust. I'm currently in the middle of a cross country relocation with my truck. I love the sound and factory supported boost in power. It's definitely worth the money to get these. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Thanks for posting. I haven't seen your write-up. I've been driving all week. I left Virginia Beach, Virginia on Monday, and arrived in San Antonio, TX several hours ago. I'll be on the road for about another month, although I'm crashing at family's homes during this period. This is probably going to be the longest cross country trip ever made.
