I am planning on ordering a 2016 GMC Sierra. I want the front 40/20/40 bench seat. Can I get it with this configuration?

 

4x4 Sierra Crew Cab short Box 1500

6.2 L with 8 speed transmission

Z71 configuration

SLT trim

 

I am not sure I want or need the Max tow package as the most I tow is a 21' bay boat that weighs at most 3500 pounds. Is the 3:23 rear end the right ratio if I don't get the Max tow package? Does the Max tow package change which mirrors you get? I want the stock style mirrors

This config can be had on 2015 and looking at the order guide, is doable on 2016. SLT comes standard with the bench, buckets are optional. Max Tow adds the big towing/camper mirrors.

Z71 not available with Max Tow. Max tow comes with tow mirrors. You can't get it without them. You can always buy a set of regular SLT mirrors off eBay, and sell the tow mirrors. You would even make a few bucks that way.

It adds the 3.42 rear end as well

My max tow came with regular mirrors. It was an option that should've included the tow mirrors at no cost, but i opted for the regular mirrors when ordering. Maybe since mine's a 2014 and the tow mirrors weren't available at the time? Not sure

AFAIK, you can specify this when ordering. You just need to have your sales rep specify that in the order sheet. Obviously, this only applies to special orders.

 

If you're looking at the lots, however, I doubt you'll ever find one with the Max Tow without the big mirrors.

dont worry about he mirrors, if you get a truck with them i will happily trade you for my slt mirrors and throw some cash your way. it would be more ideal if you were local. I am in the Houston area.

I was hoping to be able to order a 2016 with AT pkg, 6.2, and 3.42. Is that possible?

I am not sure if I really need the Max Tow package. My dealer could only find 2015 trucks already built with the 6.2 that had bucket seats. He did not say when I could order a 2016 model and if the stipulations have changed for 2016.

 

There is a note on the bottom of my window sticker from my current 2015 Sierra.

 

"When ordering the 6.2 Liter EcoTec3 engine, the front full feature leather-appointed bucket seats are required."

 

I am confused.

That's not true. I am looking at a bunch of 6.2 extended cab trucks and a couple are the 40/20/40 split bench. I don't want it myself as like the console and the fact it can come with the marginally better bose system lol.

Bucket seats are only required if ordering ventilated seats. I saw a 6.2 bench SLT on the lot when I bought my truck.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

      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

      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.

      AFM Disabler Question

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.
