I went with the aluminum body. Lighter weight with the same configuration will result in better fuel economy and a faster truck. Only negative aspect, thieves already love stealing GM trucks and SUVs for the wheels and tailgates; it give these gangs more items they want to steal.

Yes, that video is old news. The results had nothing to do with one engine being better, even at altitude. They were 100% due to the lousy 6-speed tow/haul mode programming from GM. There’s really no need to rehash how a simple programming change would have fixed it when that configuration is no longer available from GM so it’s pretty meaningless when discussing new trucks.

 

It doesn’t appear GM made the same mistake with the 8-Speeds.

 

Like I said....

 

 

 

With the 8-speed/better programming, the 6.2 rips up the hill in 7:39 (with some traffic) with the same 10,000 lb trailer.

I'd like to see how many miles you'd get out of that engine towing like that vid every day. It's great that it CAN do it ... but how long will it LAST if you do? Guess that remains to be seen ...

If you're towing like that every day, you need a duramax. You'd go broke buying gas with any gas engine, and yes, wear it out a lot faster. How this engine lasts relative to any other gas truck engine is an open question. One thing you know it has going for it is as "the new small block chevy" replacement parts, even entire engines will be dirt cheap a few years from now--similar to the other LS stuff is now.

Rain sense wipers, I really miss the rain sense wipers from my old truck.

I agree with this statement. I was extremely disappointed when my '15 didn't come equipped.

no vibrations for 1. A legit sport model option and/or offroad option a la lightning or raptor - and I don't mean some BS sticker job. Vents in the rear cab for HVAC, ability to choose any engine and any shock (magnaride or offroad or basic etc.) w/ any level truck. A small diesel option for 1/2 ton.

I commented already, but it seems like the only thing I wish these trucks had would be another speed with the windshield wipers. The fastest speed is roughly the same speed as the slower constant speed on my 98. When I put them on full blast on my 98 they would make the whole truck shake. The ones on the K2s are fine of course, just wish it had 1 more speed faster or that the fastest speed was well faster.

 

Maybe it's just me that I don't mind driving in a complete down pour.

Diesel option on 1500, IntelliLink which is more user-friendly, better trailering mirrors (driver side auto dimming).

 

Even the expensive power fold ones aren't auto dimming? Really? This is a turnoff...

I wish all cars would go back to this, it used to be like this. Now its about packaging. Its about selling more and making manufacturing easier. I doubt well see the day of pick and choose options. One thing I will say about GM though is their optioning combined with pricing is probably the worst out of the big three. I just bought my first dodge(challenger) and the optioning and pricing was way better.

Mine are auto dimming on my '07. Well, the driver's side one is - not the passenger side. They have the LED turn signal built in, power folding, and heated. The rearview is also auto dimming, which is strange, since I have the extended cab with factory tinted rear glass. Sort of pointless ...

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
