Hey guys, more questions for ya tonight:

 

LTZ vs LT. What's the big difference???

 

I kind of like the way the LT interior looks (more storage, but the looks of it), but the LTZ must have some better perks???

 

 

I mean, I know you can get leather and a center console in the LT, but what else is there to it?

 

Is a loaded LT still cheaper in cost to an LTZ???

 

 

What I'm looking for:

-Leather (heated and/or cooled)

-Bose stereo (with subwoofer)

-Power driver seat (with memory if possible!)

-Power rear-sliding window

-Remote start

-Trip Computer

-Auto-dimming rearview mirror

-Maybe navigation (I'm undecided... I've always liked physical buttons on a radio, as touchscreen gets tough when changing stations, but the steering wheel controls may change this)

If you are getting leather get an LTZ unless you dont like the woodgrain dash

If you want the heated seats with memory you must get the LTZ,Heated/memory seats are not available with the LT trim level.

I should add that GM does have an accessory kit out were you can add heat to the LT's seats,but it must be added-on "afterward"

Ah, I see... I guess LTZ it is.

 

I guess it'll be easier to find... Although the power sliding rear window seems to be scarce...

I would say depending on how bad you need the truck, If you know the exact options you want and really wany all of them I would order one with them as opposed to looking for it on a lot somewhere. Although from the options you listed the only ones I think dont come standard on the LTZ are the PWR slide rear window and Nav system. Mabye someone else can tell you if you can get cooled seats on a Silverado. I know there were a couple guts who added them.

I've always wanted to order a truck... But I've never really understood how it works...

 

Does ordering affect the price? I mean, they may not be as motivated to give me a deal if the truck isn't on their lot.

 

What about time? I know guys ordering wranglers were waiting anywhere between 2 and 7 months! I don't know if I could wait THAT long...

 

And if there's something wrong with the truck??? If I order it, can I still cancel my order?

I love everything about the LTZ/SLT except for the wood grain dash. That is why I went with an SLE with leather. I had heated leather seats on my last truck and hardly ever used them being in Texas.

I think you can cancle your order anytime from what I have heard up until you take delevery/. As for ordering it Im sure someone here can tell you the process. I wanted to order my last truck but just happened to see one on the lot I was happy with. Good luck either way you decide to go! At least if you do order you know you will have exactly what you want.

Eh, they're much more necessary in Massachusetts... Especially with a whiny girlfriend...

I want to order it just so I can be the first one to drive it!

 

I remember being a young kid when my parents ordered their first car. I was maybe 7 or 8... and I remember the anticipation of going to pick it up. As soon as the phone rang, we headed to the dealership, only to have the guys peel the plastic off the seat for us!

 

Nothing like having a brand new truck with nothing on the odometer!

My 2010 is currently on order, I am waiting for it to ship from the trainyard in Chicago.

 

I have ordered my last 3 vehicles (00 silverado, 08 tahoe and 10 silverado)

 

My current truck is being purchased at the gm supplier price (I have a gm supplier code) which is alright, I am comfortable with the pricing, could I do better, probably on a truck that was on the lot I could get some better pricing but I ordered exactly what I want and I am willing to pay for that. I did order the sliding rear window.

Would not make any difference if you order or buy off the lot someone at least 6+ people will drive the vehicle before you pick it up.

I would definitely switch out the wood grain dash for the brushed aluminum. It looks 10000000000x better. That was if I had the LTZ/SLT.... Instead I'm a broke college kid and went with the SLE2

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Getting greedy...   The AC pump has been replaced at least once per service records, and it's been recharged twice since 2018 or so, in approximately 2 year intervals between those charges.   It was done at the same shop...clearly they were enjoying the revenue of recharging the system periodically versus actually tracking down and fixing the leak. I learned that the owner was 88 years old when she passed in 2023, so maybe they assumed only a temporary fix was needed anyway.   The system is basically empty now, the compressor spins freely, so I'm guessing it "just needs a recharge".   I vacuumed it down, and it has basically held overnight. Doesn't appear to leak under vacuum, check! So it must leak under pressure. I don't have a way to pressurize the system and pressurizing it with shop air wouldn't be great for the air dryer (which is probably toast anyway?)   The dryer (accumulator? I'm not an AC expert) has a Schrader valve, but the high side has an old ball-type valve, which are notorious for leaking. It's clearly had schmutz blown out of it at one point because the line/area next to the valve is coated old black crud, which I assume is AC refrigerant residue/oil, or maybe even dirty dye. I think I'll roll the dice and replace the valves. I have a black light around here somewhere so I'll find it and shine it around the engine bay in the dark to see if there's any dye.   I can't think of another way to track down the leak other than injecting some dye (if it doesn't have any) and having it charged up. We can't buy R134a off the shelf here anymore, so I'll run it up to Jiffy Lube and have them do it. I think I have a coupon. At the very least, the charge should last long enough for a year or two, according to history. I think this truck will be long gone by then. But cold AC is a selling point.

      6.2L L87 Powertrain Engine Noise (Lifter Failure) Question

      By clowe1243 · Posted

      Got the truck back today.  Called them yesterday to get an update, and miraculously my truck is finished?!?! The $13k out the door was complete bullshit!  Ended up being over $14k.  They added some bullshit service bulletin that I cant even find, where they replaced my radiator without telling me or asking me, and charging me for it.  Need to do more research into it, cause they leaked the first delivered radiator was ran over by FedEX.  Sounds like bullshit to me. 2.5 Months for an engine swap, which ended up being remanufactured, not new; ****ing ridiculous.  Brakes are squishy as hell, not sure if its from sitting.  Will give a couple days to see it that figures it self out.  GAVE IT BACK TO ME WITH 1 GALLON OF GAS!  Just filled the tank the day before drop off, more bullshit.  My dash cam SD card was formatted, not really much I can do about that. 3 year, 100k GM warranty at least.  Time to sell it and say **** off to GM.  Bad experience.  Cant wait for the survey email to come through.  Overpriced Raptor R, here I come!

      Radio Update

      By haoleboyZ71 · Posted

      If I forget the phone in the truck, and forget the truck in the phone, and reconnect.  It works great for the day.  Truck sits overnight, and the next day is a no go.  It will connect Android Auto via usb cable, but not bluetooth.   Ive tried Everything in this thread so far, and nothing works for more than a day.   I think I might have to go to the dealer and have them flash the pcm.   thanks for all the suggestions guys. 👍

      primary drive belt tensioner

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      2022 2500HD Crew Z71 Duramax single alternator.  Recently had the primary (water pump / fan) belt tensioner pulley bearing to fail while hundreds of miles from home of course the plastic pulley melted and belt shredded which took out some wiring. Found a replacement tensioner assembly and belt to continue now would like to find a replacement for just the pulley and bearing to have a spare assembly in case of a repeat, the rest of the tensioner is fine. Has anybody here found a correct replacement part for just the pulley and bearing? Any help is appreciated.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Atlas · Posted

      +1 for the 3.0   Perfect for 1500 pickup towing duties.   Perfect engine for a 1500 pickup period. Huge torque at stunningly low RPM makes it feel a lot lighter than it is. The fuel mileage is insane for a tall and heavy 1500... 30+ on the highway. Mid 20's around town.   It's probably not perfect if you bought a 6.2 for the braaaaaaapppppp V8 noises and wrapping it out to 6k. The LZ0 acts and sounds like a small turbo diesel and there's nothing you can do to make a small turbo diesel sound like a big one, and you can't make an inline diesel sound like a V8 diesel/big Duramax. It's a different driving experience altogether.   Drive one, I think you'll like it, though...
