The outside kinda looks the same as the current 900's. :dunno:

Inside, ehhh.....Just don't know what to say

Forgot to mention my 2 cents....

This has to be some sort of red heron to throw us off....the interior reminds me of a mid 90s GM truck.....

fracken GM and their stupid column shifters.. I wish to gawd they would do away with that crap.

 

Column shift belongs in a truck. No reason to have it anywhere else. If you want a stupid console mounted shifter get yourself a Ram.

 

Interior is fugly. Guess I will be hanging on to my current trucks for a long time. Those knobs for the controls look like they are right out of a Ford. If that's the final product I feel sorry for GM.

Sorry, but I have to agree... That interior is NOT good. I sure hope this is a decoy or something.

That interior is like a weird mish-mash of going backwards 20 years with a few parts from the current trucks thrown in to just show how out of place it all looks.

 

If that's the real and final interior then I'm glad I never waited to buy my truck.

my 1990 suburban has a nicer looking interior than that... really glad i picked up a 2012 instead of waiting till the next gen. whats up with the row of 10 or so switches on the bottom part of the dash? that just looks dumb and confusing while youre driving down the road

I don't like the dash at all. Gauges look ok along with the door panel, but everything else looks like crap IMO.

interior will have to grow on me. as far as the exterior, it looks pretty good so far, dosent look too different then the current body style which is a good thing

Posted

I almost thought they must have the real dash covered with a pad and just showing the entertainment/hvac controls. But it doesnt look that way. Have to see better pics of the finished product before making final decision.

I had this thought too and I think it may be the case- the way the center stack is recessed looks damn weird to me, I think there may be something covering the real dash panels.

After seeing that interior i am left disappointed. What a fail. I see soo many gmt 900 parts reused. If this is what they are offering, i might have to look at other trucks. I hope i am wrong and this is a hybrid or some joke.

If that is indeed what it will be like, I'm sorry but goodbye GM.

 

But I am willing to bet that is just a decoy so everyone will talk crap but once they are really out I bet it will be the best interior offered for a half ton.

GM hasnt had the best interior in my eyes since the GMT-800. the 08 Ram 2500 my uncle has i think is better than the GMT-900. Anything is better than the current Ram though.

Where? I see maybe the shifter, sunvisor and possibly the inside mirror (though that has some sort of plastic base like the Cruze and other new GMs). Different steering wheel, gauge cluster, center stack and armrest. Towing mirrors too but the design can't be beat which is why GM, Ford, Toyota and Nissan all use similar designs.

    • New member here, very long time occasional guest. Saw this thread, thought it would be a good time to contribute someting. It is only my experience and not a claim that everyone will have the same.   I bought my '20 3500 L5P new and have put 99.9% (literally) of it's current ~400k miles on it myself, with over 50% of that towing loads between 4k to 15k, and to me this truck has been nothing short of amazing. For the first 235k I had zero issues, and from there until 321k I replaced a NOx sensor, two failing glow plugs, and three of the notorious injector connectors. I believe this truck is in part, a testament to good luck, but also good care and following a decent maintenance schedule (I also keep meticulous records.) As a result, it looks as good as a well cared for 70k rig, up and down, inside and out.   At some point before that 321k mile mark I began to get a little spooked about the 10L1000, especially the valve body. Word of mouth about potential issues prompted me to jump on the net to sift through all the noise and determine what all the fuss was about. I routinely take long trips, coast-to-coast and points in between, so roadside breakdowns can be '...a thousand miles from nowhere' and a bit of a challenge, and though I had no issues, my guard was up and activated.   And then I stumbled across a chance to salvage some parts off a new 2025 that had been wrecked in transport. I grabbed a few wear items (alternator, pulleys, etc.) and on a whim asked what the ten speeder would cost me. It was cheap...really cheap. I knew some changes had been made in the '24+ version 10L and were supposedly not compatible, but I called service/parts at my local Chevy dealer and asked why and they didn't know. A call to a well known aftermarket transmission outfit revealed it was very likely it would be fine, but to them not 100% sure.   Because it was cheap (really cheap) and I was spooked, I took the chance. Had it installed by a local shop and it worked like a champ, shifted just like the original. At it's first service at 37k, I had the shop put in a Next Gen valve body kit, which after some initial hiccups and rough shifts, smoothed out though with somewhat firmer shifting.   All that said, I have a very serious concern about my newer transmission as just two weeks ago it suddenly began to exhibit a strong reluctance to engage forward or reverse. It was a bit past due anyway so I took it in for service. The reason it was sticking was due to 'glitter' in the fluid clogging the filter...not good folks, often indicates a converter giving out. We ended up going ahead with the new filter and fluid, first to see if it would move and shift, and then if so buy me a little time. It did, and I've driven it over a thousand miles and it is shifting smooth, no noises or slipping. Regardless, it looks like a third gearbox is in my future so I can resume taking long trips with some confidence. In the very short term, my curiosity will have me examining the fluid to check how much glitter has reappeared.   An earlier poster had alleged, in the context of 10L100 failures, that it is another example of how we seasoned citizens somehow descend into hysteria, lose control of our senses, and react irrationally after brief encounters with the idiocy of the internet infosphere. Let me say (and I have used and abused said internet since it's infancy) there is no segment of the populace that has a corner on over-reaction to digital garbage. Just as my offering of experience in this arena is purely anecdotal and should not be considered gospel or all-encompassing, I believe it is still worthwhile information to consider, along with other relevant anecdotal experiences about things like complex transmissions, especially when balanced with other sources.   So to answer the original question, yes I got high miles out of my first 10L, trouble free for 321,000. Now I really wonder how much longer it would have went. Did I 'overreact' to the internet ghouls by replacing a 'good' one with a 'bad' one? Maybe. Who knows, the thing might have taken a puke a 100 miles later. So I'll just fix it again, then move on and start thinking about all the other stuff that will eventually wear out. It still has the original brakes (they're at ~60%), original injectors/pump, turbo, water pump, etc....pretty much original everything. Knock on wood.
    • At peak temperature.  They get to cool down and warm up more, especially those with the external cooler.  I have three GMT900s and one of them has over 225K on its original transmission.  Fluid gets changed about every 36K miles, all of it.     It's not the bean counters, it was the government.  They had to meet CAFE standards and other government requirements.   To get around that, we tune them and modify them to our liking.

    • PCM?  These don't have a "PCM".  Powertrain Control Module.  They have an ECM (Engine Control Module) and TCM (Transmission Control Module).   Do you mean update the radio?     You can check what version you have in the settings page.  Should be Y181 but there might be a newer build they can update it to.
