I was just checking out the '03's on the Chevrolet website and noticed the pricing of certain models:

 

1500HD - 2WD starting at $30,422  4x4 starting at $33,860

 

2500 - 2WD starting at $23,627  4x4 Ext. Cab starting at $29,822

 

2500HD - 2WD starting at $23,877  2WD Ext. Cab starting at $26,257  4x4 starting at $26,722

 

Why is the 1500HD considerably higher than its comparable 2500 and 2500HD counterpart?  ???

 

Or even the 3500?

 

3500 - 2WD Ext. Cab starting at $27,814  4x4 shown starting at $28,222

I may be wrong here (but I believe I am right) but I think the 1500 HD is only available in LS and up,no base model available, trim so that would have a lot to do with the price also.

Frank is right, the base model 1500HD isn't comparable to the base model of the others.  Trim level is much higher as these trucks are geared more towards the general daily drivers than the real HDs are.  

 

Creature comforts cost lots of money, as is shown in the price differences.

I think if yu were to price out a 1500HD LS and a 2500HD crewcab LS the 2500HD would be about $1000 more than the 1500HD.  (At least that was the way it was when I bought my '01)

1500HD and 2500 ext. cab also come with an automatic transmission as standard equipment, the 2500HD comes standard with a 5spd (unless it's a GMC, the give you a deduct for ordering a 5spd).

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
