For a while now I had been planning on picking up a 2010 GMC Sierra SLT with the All-Terrain package. Well things have changed and I found out that the wife is pregnant with our first. Unfortunately, this got me thinking about functionality with the new truck. The way i see it with an extended cab and regular bed it really limits on the ability for long trips with a car seat and random stuff in the back. I figured id solve this by getting a crew cab but that means i get an extremely short bed. Well i actually use my bed for hauling around the ATV's, dirt bikes, camping gear plus all the bags and stuff in the cab. To have the best of both worlds I figured I would take a look at a 2500HD Crew Cab Regular bed.

 

The problem is this. I have been set on that All-Terrain package for a few years now and it breaks my heart to have to give it up. But the kid and family are priority. As i think about it though there were only a few things that really set apart the AT package. One of which is the interior brushed aluminum trim, 18" chrome clad wheels, and shocks. I can be ok without the wheels and the shocks I easily pickup some Bilsteins later on and be fine with that. The interior trim on the other hand...Not so much.

 

I am not a big fan of the stock wood grain look of the trim. Basically I was curious how much of the 1500 trim or if its possible to get any of those trim peices to fit in a 2500HD Crew Cab. Or possibly what other options are there to get this look.

 

Thanks

There is no difference in the interior of the 1500 or 2500 trucks. No reason why can't purchase the trim pieces for the all terrian and replace the wood trim.

Exactly right. In fact, there was a guy on here who replaced all the trim pieces in his Sierra Denali, swapping the wood grain for the stainless steel pieces. He's got all the part numbers listed in this thread:

easy fix.

 

Just remember dont ever let the lil one forget he messed up your truck plans.

 

My wife got pregnant last Feb and we had to skip our summer vacation to DC so she could save her time to be off with him. He will never forget this :cheers:

 

It did help me get a new truck though so its not all that bad.

 

Definitely get a crewcab!

Thanks, this helps a bunch. What about the grille? Are they the same? I was planning on getting SLT trim. That All-Terrain grille is pretty neat looking though.

The grille is not the same, the 2500HD has a larger grille ( more cooling capacity)

You can however get kits to put chrome on the bars of the 2500HD's grille for a similar effect:

      Brake Bleed Procedure

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a reply on this thread or a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - ACDelco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles. When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so i did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance.

      I wasn’t commenting on your post. Certainly wasn’t arguing. I was making an observation on my long term experience with supposedly proper length of driving for proper heat cycles. Works for me. Although I have seen water or vapor come out of exhaust when vehicles weren’t run very long and shut off. It’s very humid in the morning. Then hot and humid.

      Not what I said but I can work with it anyway. Complete combustion produces CO2 and H20. When it's cold enough you can 'see' it as water vapor but it is always there and more so the better the tune up. It's physics, not an argument. In a cold motor when the cylinder jacket is below the condensation temperature the water goes to the pan and not the PCV system. Heating the oil moves it from liquid to vapor where it is removed by the PCV system. When and how much depends on temperatures. Of the air, the water and so on. It has little to with the humidity. Water is a combustion product.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I can only guess as well that something was clicked on that brought you to the half ton choices by accident. By all means try again and chose the 3500 and sort out that its the cab and box configuration you want and choose four wheel drive ( rather obvious to have a transfer case ) and to make sure the dually isn't chosen. I find or at least did a couple of years ago when I was sifting through the options that it would sometimes jump ahead after choosing the series of truck and in this case 3500 and skip some of the other initial configuration choices and have to watch the heading bar and sometimes back up by choosing the first in the series of option break downs. I think sometimes the computer will remember items that were last chosen and skip over the first part. Anyway go through it all and depending on the trim level chosen and I think the LT is one that may fall into that where the option of having the 4 high auto transfer case can be chosen, where as a High Country doesn't show that option as it just comes with the fancier ( not necessarily better though in terms of potential problems ) transfer case but for sure both transfer case choices are equipped with high and low range in the HD truck segment. Like Newdude said who works at a dealership, its the half tons that are the ones that will come with the single speed unless certain options or trim levels are chosen that add the two speed transfer case but as your looking at an HD, you don't have to worry about that hot mess.    One item that at least didn't show up and not sure if it does yet or not in the HD options on the manufactures pubic website is the upfitter in cab switch option if one is desiring that. Unfortunately its not wired in at the factory but the panel with the switches is on the dash but the wiring harness to be installed gets tossed under the rear seat to be installed by whomever after the fact to complete the installation.

      Yesterday we brought home a 6yr  old Havanese dog from a nearby SPCA.  We've had her for 24 hours and we are delighted with how well she is adjusting to her new home.  It  was a huge decision to adopt a dog at this stage in our lives but we believe we made the right choice!   it was reported that her first 6 years were ones of neglect.  I think she's already realizing her life is going to get a whole lot better...  so is ours!
