#2 Sounds exactly like my all terrain except it has the 6.2 I wouldn't change a thing on it ( except for getting the 6.2 of course :thumbs:) I love everything about my all terrain and the preferred package is something that has a lot of very nice features. Go with #2!!!!

Another vote against black paint.

 

FWIW, I like the sliding rear window, too, but only on a regular cab. But on a CC, it's too hard to reach. (Unless they're powered on these new trucks.)

They are powered now. And it's only a 250. option.

My vote is none of the above, especially if you want a standard bed. Get the color you want, even if you have to travel. Some dealers will pick you up at airport or you could pay the dealer transfer fee.

I flew to San Jose in 99 for my gmt800. The dealer picked me up at the airport and had all the paperwork laid out to sign. 20-30 mins and I was down the road. I flew to San Francisco in 2008. The dealer paid for my tickets and picked me up at the airport. This latest truck was easy...100 mile drive. I used GM customer service to locate the trucks. Get the truck you want. Travel if you need to.

I had a black truck. I found out I'm not a black truck guy. My last truck was red. I found out I'm not a red truck guy.

 

You have more experience buying K2 trucks than I. But since you asked....I would not get nav. I would buy an Alpine aftermarket. Standard beds only for me. No mini beds. Been there.

 

 

Alpine, I did not think it was supported for the 1500. Last I checked the XM009 was only supported on the 2500, did something change?

I did go w/ the black/black - pick it up Thurs this week..final price before ttl came to $48,500 including a clear bra for the front bumper and linex in the bed....pretty much $3500 higher than the lowest prices I have seen advertised, but after factoring in cost to transport and/or fly and drive back its not so bad.

Everything is more expensive in MA I guess...I showed this dealer (and others) prices from places down in FL, MI, and IL and they just say that it's a different market.

I will say they were all pretty much consistent (RI/MA/NH) w/ not shaving down the price as much as dealers in other states. At the end of the day I still got about $7000 off when you factor the liner/film.

Congrats on the new truck.

 

I found when I bought mine the dealers in mass were unwilling to do much of anything off msrp for my Chevy which i had to order( fully loaded ltz, max tow 6.2). The dealer I bought my 06 from and one where a friend of mine is a sales guy all wanted full price for the most part. I ended up ordering mine in Saco Maine and I got a great price and the dealer was super nice to deal with.

I too had some nagging issues on a ruby double cab and wanted to upgrade to CC but didn't want to give up 6.5 bed. Ended up getting a 50k CC LTZ 6.5 bed for 38k and the dealer kicked in linex and running boards. Went black this time around and love it. Go option #1

For what it's worth, I test drove a 2014 Denali CC short box with a 6.2 liter. I don't know what the rear end gearing was, but I found it to be a slug, no pick up at all (if that's what you are looking for). My Silverado with the 5.3 is much quicker on acceleration. I'm sure the Denali weighs a lot more than my Siverado. If you want the 6.2 for towing, I'm sure it's the better choice.

Also, my last truck was black, easily best looking color on a truck, worst color to keep clean and everything is MISERABLE to touch hot in the summer - even the inside of the cab.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
