Cooled seats are a $650 option on the SLT. But when you pay $3000 for the all terain your cant add the $650 seats. Its not about cutting costs. The buyer would still be paying for it. I just dont get why you cant get the cooled seats on the all terrain but you can on the regular SLT.

 

 

I just tried it again and it does not work. I also spoke to a guy that tried to order one from the dealer and they said sorry cooled seats are not an option in the all terrain.

 

 

 

That's wild. Sure enough, I went in and it isn't letting me now. Maybe it is because my safari browser I was using on a mac was just letting me check everything? and for the salesman.. well maybe the woman part was the problem there. ha (I kid, I kid)

 

 

That's unfortunate. It's not that it's really a necessity but it sure is nice to have on long trips in the 100 degree summers.

Any idea on the word if the 6.2s are still going to start production on the 29th?

 

6.2's are in production now and should be arriving at some dealers by month end. I ordered mine 2 weeks ago and dealers ordered for inventory a week or two earlier.

Really? Did you get any kinda rebates or price off of MSRP on a first run order?

No price dif. from other Sierra models-way less than MSRP. I ordered before price increase so a very good deal! There are rebates up to $1500 for Oct., maybe depends on region. Pricing varies by dealer, region so check locally.....

I'm going to get in contact with some dealers, but really would like to get in the money of 40 on a truck with MSRP of 49. I figure I will have to wait a while but might as well ask em all now.

I hope your right because I ordered mine on the 27th of September and I've been waiting anxiously for it to get here.

I guess I have the worst dealers in the country. Just two days ago three had no news on a 6.2, and one will take my order but can't tell me how much it will be.

When I ordered mine they couldn't tell me how much the 6.2 would be but I believe it's confirmed to be a $2000 option. It's still not on the "Build Your Own" section of the website but should be soon. I'm assuming once it's on that part of the site it'll be at dealers.

Yes, I ordered mine on Sept. 19th, and they couldn't tell me the cost of the Denali, or the cost of the 6.2L. I check the web site everyday to see if the "Build Your Own" feature has been activated for the Denali. I am pretty anxious to see what my truck is going to cost me. Meanwhile, I constantly research for discounts, rebates, hold back, etc., that I might be able to get the dealer to work with me on. GM has a very good military discount on Silverados, but I can't find it on the GMC. It's about $3500. If I would have know that I might have gone for the high country. I have registered and got an authorization number which I will attempt to use on the Denali. Meanwhile playing the waiting game with everyone else who has ordered the Denali and/or the 6.2.

When I ordered on Sept. 28 the dealer had received pricing info by hard copy a few days earlier. The online system did not have pricing yet. They gave me a copy with all prices-MSRP; Invoice & actual dealer cost. Many dealers may not want to show you that much pricing info but they have it.

The 6.2 is MSRP of $1950 and includes noise cancelation. I am away from home for 10 days and don't have the pricing info with me so can't be more specific.

Max towing was not included with 6.2 and was not available at the time. As I recall it spec's lowers gears but no pricing.

So I assume it will be the $940 for gears,9.75", and controller? Hmm

If you go onto the Canadian Chevrolet website ( http://configurator.autodata.gm.ca/GMCanada/modelSelect.html?lang=en&model=&package=&brand=1&year=2013&pc=null&access=0&lastsavedconfig= ) it shows pricing for both the 6.2L ($2,195.00 CAN) and the Max Trailering Package ($1,115.00 CAN) plus it shows how when you select these options then 20" wheels are added automatically with the Max Trailering Package. However I have been constantly calling to check on when I can order my truck with said packages and the dealer says that it is still not available to order... and when we try to build the truck in their system it puts 18" wheels as soon as you select Max Trailering Package. Getting frustrated of waiting...

      cam upgrade in CA

      By AidenVorpagel · Posted

      hello I recently bought a 2012 gmc 1500 with a 5.3 and have a AFM disabler on it I'm interested in doing a cam but I'm worried if I remove the AFM system I will fail smog does anyone have info if they are able to detect that or a work around to it (not talking about hot smogging) please let me know thank you

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      Update. I started chasing down my symptoms. Started first with pulling valve covers and looked at everything. Everything looked good and couldn't hear or feel anything different. Then a compression test. 240 psi or really close on each cylinder. I was worried I was a tooth off of timing. Not bad for an engine with 173,000. Granted I did put new heads on. I sprayed water around the injector area to see if I could hear a change. Nothing. I hooked up my new hp tuner which I should have done in the first place but I don't really know what I'm looking at just yet but am learning. I noticed the fuel trims were way off so that told me I have to have either a bad injector or exhaust leak. New injectors, so I did the shop vac on blower and in the tail pipe. Sprayed soapy water and found the exhaust flange on the drivers side was leaking. I didn't think it would be that considereding I pulled the heads and left the manifolds attached. I did have the transmission replaced not long ago. They must have not seated them properly but I guess I didn't notice. I put in new gaskets on both sides. Which by the way isn't a bad job but I had a hard time getting them to seal right. Took two attempts. Reset the fuel trims and the ticking is gone, engine runs smooth and acceleration has improved. Got to feel the real difference with that stage 1 cam. It's not that big of a difference but it does add a little more. It feels like how the truck should have been from the factory.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.
