Really? I was not aware that this was possible.

I ordered mine this way, too. 2015 Denali w/6.2/8spd/3:42.

That isn't possible, only way to get the 6.2 and 3.42's is to get max tow package.

Ummmmm. It IS possible, sir. I ordered my truck. I can post my window sticker and build sheet if that would help. The truck DEFINITELY has the 6.2 and it DEFINITELY has a 3:42 rear end. Since it has the G80, I actually spun both tires a complete rotation while watching the driveshaft spin 3-3/4 times = 3:73. I'm certain you won't find many if any on the lot configured this way, which is why I ordered, and you can't technically get the "max tow" package in the Denali, but you can get all the gear to make it the equivalent. Hope that helps.

I'll be happy to, gents. Now, be patient though as I don't carry that with me in the truck when I go to work, so I'll have to wait until I can get home. Then maybe folks will lighten up on someone who's just trying to contribute. I like(d) to come here for the reading content, comedic value and to help if/when I can, but sometimes folks, IMHO, get a bit snippy. I didn't come here and post hoping to mislead anyone and I'm happy to provide documentation to support my claims though.

I'm happy to post it. This isn't the first time I've had this discussion, so I understand the hesitance to bite. I actually took the truck into the dealer about a month ago for a gouged rotor and the service guy didn't believe me either. I told him I bought the truck there and to look it up. His response: well, I'll be damned, didn't know they would do that. So, I get it, I don't blame folks for asking for verification, just maybe be a bit inquisitive vs accusatory. But I'm used to it. Especially after nearly a decade in the military and now a career as an engineer. Been called an a$$hole constantly for almost 12 years now, lol.

Looks like they revised the center console, appears to have less storage

I have sat in a few '16's and there is zero difference other then the console lid now having cell phone charging ability.

Are you posting the window sticker? If you don't mind, please post the RPO tag in the glove box. It's not that we don't believe you but you may be the only person in this country with a 6.2L Denali and 3.42 gear. Option package restricted the ordering of a 6.2L Denali with the 3.42 gears (been discussed here a lot).

Are the new front bumpers, the monochromatic ones, still steel or are they a bumper cover? Long shot, but bumper cover would hold up a lot better for the painted ones.

Just checked out the 2016's yesterday at the Texas State Fair. While I didn't nudge the bumpers on the Denali and All Terrain to verify, they appeared to be painted steel at a glance.

BTW, these new trucks look great in person. Exteriors show really well. Count me as a fan. Interiors look the same as 14/15 models to me, other than the phone charger built into the console cover.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
