My New 2500


Recommended Posts

Posted

Went ahead and upgraded to the 2500.

Got the LT without leather. Only truck they had with leather was a white extended and a black LTZ. I'm happy with the cloth seats. Over all I love this truck. Still trying to figure out everything. Got appointment to get the front windows tinted tomorrow...believe i'm going 15%. Line X and Weather tech liners coming up. Need to debade the tailgate and paint the bowties. Cant decide if I want to paint them white or black.DSC00740.jpgDSC00742.jpgDSC00741.jpg

Sweet truck. GM sells a black replacement bowtie kit. They are the exact same ones that are on the truck, but instead of the insert being gold, its black. Same textured look and all. 23463799 is the part number. I put them on mine, love them. Figured seeing I had to pull them to paint them, I just threw them on because the two sided tape on that rear one stuck to the truck and not the emblem.

You have a beautiful truck. I'm really happy for you!


Nice rig!!! I have a set of factory 20s here if you're feeling like an upgrade. :)

 

I think this would be a downgrade! I love the 18s.

Thanks Guys

Only got about 200 miles on her so far but I'm really enjoying the new ride.

Got the front windows tinted and the weathertech liners. Line X next to come.

 

I'm going to stick with the 18's until I find the exact wheels that I want to add. Thinking black wheels with a little chrome accents but havent found "the one" yet.

my apologies. Did not mean to offend. I only meant the 20" wheels as being the GM upgrade and was asking if you were interested.

 

Anyhow, enjoy the truck! We love ours!

No offense taken. I may eventually get some 20's but for now the checkbook says stay with what's on it. LOL

No apology was necessary! I'm just throwing my vote in for the 18" wheels as the better-looking option.

    • Did you ever get this worked out? Mike is doing the two start thing now too. This is after a new camera back in December. 
    • I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal. 
    • Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?
    • I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps. 
    • Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
