I was with a friend looking at 2015 Silverado's and noticed all the trucks we looked at had Decal delete, Pickup box, no charge, on the window sticker. The salesman we were with wasn't sure what it meant. Anyone know?

I'm not sure, but I will say that it sad that the salesman doesn't even know what he is selling.

 

I hate when I go to the dealership and have to tell them what is included in the vehicle I want.

Actually they all had 4x4 or Z71 decals on the bed, but still had decal delete on the window sticker.

That seems strange, because the order guide shows box decals as dealer installed, and extra cost.

SB7 LPO, bedside decal, Z71, (dealer-installed)
1 - Requires (Z71) Off-Road Suspension Package. Not available with (SF8) Z71/4x4 bedside decal, LPO or (SB9) 4x4 bedside decal, LPO.
SB9 LPO, bedside decal, 4x4, (dealer-installed)
1 - Requires 4x4 models. Not available with (SB7) Z71 bedside decal, LPO or (SF8) Z71/4x4 bedside decal, LPO.
and
SF8 LPO, Z71/4WD bedside decal, (dealer-installed)
1 - Requires 4x4 models and (Z71) Off-Road Suspension Package. Not available with (SB7) Z71 bedside decal, LPO or (SB9) 4x4 bedside decal, LPO.
The chrome trim piece on the front fender is 'standard' as part of the 4x4 or z71

I don't know that they are extra cost on Silverados. Mine ("4x4" on the bedsides) certainly wasn't.

 

One possibility is that the trucks seen by the OP were (erroneously) ordered without the decals and they were installed by the dealership upon delivery.

This is what I am talking about, it wasn't just on one truck, but all the trucks in stock. They all had 4x4 or Z71 decals on them. This is really very unimportant, just idle curiosity. :D

Before I left the dealership after everything was signed I asked the salesman if it was possible to remove the decals before I took delivery. He told me they don't like doing it in fear the finish will be ruined in the process. I'm sure it was a load and he was rushing me out since I already signed but I let it go.

 

The idea of a $50K truck having 'stickers' on it just seems tacky IMO.

When I ordered my '14 3500 I could not order it with decal delete unless I ordered it fleet but then I lost A-plan and rebates. Before that you could order one decal delete as a zero cost option, seems how decals look tacky and are not installed strait I don't like them, took me about 3min. Using a blow dryer, goo gone, and my finger nail.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
