Yeah I’m seeing people experiencing nightmares with the valve bodies in these trucks. Wait times from GM in a lot of the cases I’m seeing seem long. I always thought this ten speed was co-developed with Ford to some degree so it would be similar to the one on my current F350 (and it’s been rock solid).

Diesel and of course trim level doesn’t decide stiffness in the ride. That’s why I put in the relevant information of f350 vs gmc 2500. Looking for that feedback from anyone who has been there and done that. Never had a GM truck before always had ram or super duty……that’s all.

I am looking at trucks simply because I’m looking for a relatively smoother riding truck and because it’s about time to trade in my current truck. current truck is a 2023 f350 lariat single rear wheel. Been a flawless truck for me and it has a 23,000lb tow rating. So it’s been great when I was towing a little heavier but we’ve got several other trucks in our fleet now that can move our equipment around. with a decreased need for heavy towing I’m looking at a 2500 Denali hoping it will ride softer. with that being said I’m looking for feedback on several things. 1–will a 2500 gmc ride smoother than my current f350? 2–are there any common problems with the 24s? I hear people have been having oil cooler issues (mixing coolant and oil which is no good). Anything else? 3–level kits on these trucks seem to really ruin the ride with the torsion bar setup. Any decent kits to get 2”? I don’t want a 6” lift on 40s. But I do like messing with my trucks a little bit 4–I’ve also been spoiled with the fords and how easy it is to run bigger tires…..these square wheel wells on the gmcs don’t seem as big. What’s the biggest tire I can run stock? My current truck is 2” leveled and 37s with plenty of room to spare. thanks in advance for the advice. I’m not familiar with these trucks
