Finally got out and took some pics of the new truck. I've had it about a month now. So far the mods are tint, 6" oval steps, rear wheel liners, and a P3 trailer brake controller. I haven't driven it much yet but the 6.2L sounds really good. My previous truck was a '00 Silverado LS ext cab, 5.3L. This one has way more bells and whistles but it also doesn't seem as much like a "truck" as my other.

Ahh man sweet truck! That is exactly what I want! Does yours have the Cashmere or the Ebony Interior...I am finding it hard to track down one with Ebony in my price range!

Thanks!

 

It has the ebony interior. I keep them too long for cashmere color interiors.

 

Honestly the Denali is a little too blinged out for me. I priced out sooooo many trucks and it just came down to the Denali just not being much more than an SLT. Not to mentioned locating 2wd 6.2L SLTs is tough and with ordering you never know about incentives. With the Denali you get the 3.42 rear which I really wanted for MPG reasons.

 

I was looking for a stripped down Denali since they base at $44k. No nav, sunroof, etc to jack the price up to 50K. I simply wanted a 2wd Denali for the guts, i.e. 6.2L, 3.42 14bolt rear, disc brakes, and nicer interior. Stripped ones were hard to find. Louisiana seems to get a lot of them for some reason but they were all black or black metallic. I lucked out and located this one in Tenn before it had gotten off the train. I had almost given up on getting one before the incentives ended but then this one showed up on my GMC site search finally. I had to wait a couple weeks for it to arrive there and then the dealer transfer. Basically stripped like I wanted but the paint was $1k option, and it had sliding rear and cooled seats for $250 and $600 respectively.

The reason your 00 5.3 seems like "more" truck than the denali is a couple reasons. One being is MUCH smoother than the 5.3, another is the HORRIBLE throttle delay stock... and LOADS more torque management than your 00 had.

 

With a custom tune, the 6.2 rocks! I have the 6.0 and BB tune. Its night and day over stock tuning. Even with Diablo, I had good results. The biggest improvement diablo did was helped the throttle delay. Well worth it which ever way you go.

 

Big congrats on the truck... Its gorgeous!

Beautiful truck! Did they just start offering the white diamond color this year?

 

That color has been around since '07. I test drove an '08 that looked exactly like that before I bought my truck.

Thanks guys.

 

As recent as '09 model year you could get the White Diamond paint on SLT models. For 2010, they dropped it, along with Sonoma Red :( , on all but the Denali models.

Beautiful truck!! I wanted a Denali but not being able to get it in White Diamond is why I chose my Silverado LTZ White Diamond Edition. Nice to know they're offering the WD in Denali's now. Enjoy!

As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
