Not a fan of it, there is 1 around town and I see no hint of blue in it at all. I see it about every day in different lighting and it looks purples in all lighting and angles.

I believe laser blue (gmc) = imperial blue (silverado)

Nope,Imperial Blue and Laser Blue are two different colors,The Laser Blue is a limited edition package color only available for a limited time.

Its RPO code "PDH" and includes.....exterior color (21U) Laser Blue Metallic and chrome door handles and

mirror caps.

You will not find this color listed in any of the brochures or on-line.

I like it enough that I would own one for what little we drive the truck. But if I drove the truck everyday, well..... hard to say. It may grow old.

It's noting like imperial blue. Its the kind of color that changes color in the light, and most of the time, it's PURPLE. :rolleyes:

C'mon GM how about some variety in your colour choices. I couldn't believe how most of the GMT800 colours carried over to the GMT900. I've noticed a dark cherry metallic, but it wasn't deleted :-(

 

I'm pretty much sick of that blue granite metallic which looks more green than blue regardless of the light. I live in a village of 300 & 2 people own trucks that colour then you see the rest passing thru.

 

:rolleyes:

 

Back in the mid 80s we built trucks 1 year (US market only) that had 4 different colours from standard production. All metallics, a dark green, blue & gold (not sure what the 4th was). It was a hunting/fishing/camping package.

I have to say I really like it, I bought the only 2010 that my local dealer ordered. I like having a color that is different than most others.

 

And it only looks purple when you look at it in the sunlight from an angle, any other time it looks blue. If you look straight at it, you can definitly tell it is a blue truck.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Z45 · Posted

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
