Well it was time to update my wifes ride, plus the lease ran out .....or close to it. That's my story and I am sticking to it!

 

Went with another Regular Cab Sierra short box . She loves these little trucks! Cool little truck at least I hope it is, all I have seem are dealer pics. My local dealer had it brought in from northern Alberta. I actually found it on the GM Canada search page and steered my dealer in that direction. Made the deal last week but I am having some heated Katskins put in it and some 3M Durashield installed. It is the Iridium Metallic. pretty much loaded for what you vcan get on a reg. cab.

 

I pick it up this Friday and am dying to see the seats. Went with what they call Black Cuda Combo. Perforated with dark grey underliner and the side bolsters have the carbon fibre look to them like the All Terrain seats.

 

Will post pics when I have them!

I wouldn't mind getting a regular cab if I could get heated seats and maybe the big my link touch screen radio atleast.

So what are you having the heated seats function connect to? Did you have the OEM dash buttons installed?

They just tie into power under the seat (harness is there for normal heated seats) and they put a nice small rocker switch on the lower side panel were the power seat swtiches are. It actually looks pretty good. If you did not know were to look you would never know it was there.

I am not to hung up on the smaller screen! Yeah I would like the bigger one, but it is not a deal breaker. As I see it, the main function of the screen on a truck like this without nav is a back up screen. Still better than having it in the mirror like the older trucks. And as we have discussed in another thread here on Factory Navigation, Fac Nav pretty much sucks as well so I won't miss that either. I have all that stuff in my Silverado and Corvette and I never use it! I just wish you could get HUD in a truck like my Corvette has. It is far more usefull than Factory Nav! A good ole Garmin that you can plug into the desktop keep updated yourself is the way to go for Nav.

 

The way I look at it, this truck has a hell of a lot more options than the truck I am getting rid of so it is all a bonus. Really IMO the cloth seats are the biggest thing that I hated in the my 11 SLE Sierra and the Katskins are taking care of that. And for a daily driver that ain't to bad!

PS: The reason I went Sierra instead of Silverado is that you can get a few more things on a SLE Sierra than you can on an LT Silverado. The main things I liked were the body colored mirror caps, door handles and body side mouldings. A few other things as well like the driver alert and front parking sensors.

I love leather seats but I am going back and forth on getting cloth for my next truck just because I feel the side bolsters won't wear out as fast.

Really, That is exactly what I did not like about my cloth seats. The bolsters always looked grubby and dirty. I literly would clean them about once a week! I know anal right. But maybe GM has improved there cloth seats since 2011.

 

I have been told that the Katskins seats are a lot better quality leather than even the factory leather so I guess I am going to find out! At one dealership I was looking at a Silverado reg cab that had the seats swapped out with Katskins and It did appear to me that the leather was a lot nicer than Factory.Thicker and more supple! They almost feel like furniture quality leather!

 

Hey I am old, I need a nice place for my Butt!

center Console on a regular cab? Nice.

Sent from my iPhone.

That's what I was thinking! One dealer close to me doesn't have a single truck with full console- everyone has the 40/20/40 bench- yuck. Likarok your new truck is nice

That isn't the full console. The center belt buckle is clearly visible in the photo. It's just the flip down seat/console.

Damn you're right. Although I did see a thread where a guy put a center console in his regular cab k2. Looks great.

 

If GM makes the Cheyenne concept....it better have a console. looks so cool

Yeah Mike is right ! No full console.

 

Gm has never put a full console in a reg cab truck! The 2002 reg cab truck I had was the last year they put a short between the seats console in making it a true two seater! I actually like it better this way. Best of both. I actually like the folder better because it is up higher and you can use it as an armrest. The seats are still independent as well so they are like a bucket seat.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      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.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      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."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      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.
