Did you try looking at the GMC website? Shows a 100 lb difference between the two. CC SB 4x4 (since it seems that is what everyone gets these days) shows 9100 for Denali with 6.2 and 3.23 and 9200 for SLT same set up... Payload is 50 lbs more in the SLT at 1740 vs 1690

Based on what I've seen, I would concur that in the real world that is about right.

I'm looking for standard bed but no one has them in a 6.2 around here.

 

It's worth ordering from a dealer and waiting 4-6 weeks for a standard bed.

 

Crew cab short beds are absolutely hideous looking, and you can't fit crap in them. It's all cab and hardly any truck.

 

 

*I know my personal opinion is unpopular, and sales figures probably show a whole lot more short beds than standard beds out there. They are still terrible.

Check with your dealer about ordering.

 

My dealer has says the way I spec a truck is easy for them to sell or trade if I don't want it, so they will order they way I want it without and signed or financial commitment.

 

We have ordered the last 2 trucks this way, and have been able to come to a deal after they arrived.

 

The 2 before that were purchased from dealer inventory or that they were able to get from another dealers inventory.

I am having trouble finding the towing capacity specs between a 6.2 denali and a 6.2 slt. Any thoughts? Neither in max tow.

6.2 K15743 - 9100lbs (and with max tow/3.42's it would be 11,700)

 

Denali shows the same (but there is not max tow on a 1500 denali)

 

(both show the same trailering capacity for the 5.3/8spd and the 6.2/8spd)

The best I can get them to tell me is that a standard box is not that desirable and they want some sort of commitment from me.

If you know what truck you want, they can calculate pricing and you can negotiate/sign the contract before it is ordered.

Haha yup, because I can't fit anything in my short bed :rolleyes: That extra 9.4" of the regular bed make it go from useless car to macho truck! Looks are subjective, personally the extended cabs are the best looking, followed by the CC SB, the regular cab and finally CC LB (though lifted I like the CC LB over the CC SB). Still, there is no truth in the can't fit crap in the short bed, that 9 inches isn't any life saver. I came from a CC SB gen 1 Colorado and fit a crap ton of stuff in that. So this 5'8 bed is massive. Not to mention the best tool we have bought for any of our trucks is a bed extender, and the truck still fits in my garage with 4 inches to spare.

 

If I wasn't in to some off roading and had a bigger garage a CC LB might have been a possibility, but at near stock levels they look to unproportionally long IMO. Glad GM gave us the option though!

I had a 2004 1500 crew cab short box and I really hated it. Couldn't fit anything back there. Then I got a 2012 2500HD crew cab long box and it was awesome. Now I have a 2015 crew cab standard box and it works out nicely, though I sometimes wish I had the long bed.

I'm just not sure how you negotiate a good price on an ordered truck that you agree to take.

 

I don't know, I've never really negotiated. I ordered my truck with a GM employee discount so that was just the price I agreed to. For my wife's car, I walked in there with a TrueCar printout and said I will take this car for this price. Being a TrueCar dealer they had no choice but to accept the offer. I ended up with 19% off MSRP on my 2015 Denali and a whopping 25% off MSRP on the 2015 Malibu.

This seems like the best and only way to get a new truck. You go in there and say I'm looking to order a new truck and this is what I want to pay. Why wouldn't they sell it to you, it is a sold order even if they don't make as much money. These trucks are going to sell.

 

At least that is what I was told when I went into my local gmc dealer and said I want a new truck will you meet laura gmc prices. Went right to the new car manager.

      6.2L L87 Powertrain Engine Noise (Lifter Failure) Question

      By newdude · Posted

      Engine failure requires radiator replacement per GM if it contains an engine oil cooler.  They do NOT want them flushed.  Radiator replacement is also required for the 6.2 recall if the engine fails.   Here is the TSB the dealer is referring to - 22-NA-074 1..2    Its a slightly older version, but the current version of it covers all model years 2000-2026.  So if enough failure debris was present, it gets an oil cooler.  If that is part of the radiator, it gets a radiator.  Also, same for oil cooler lines.  Those get replaced.     Now something like a 2.7 Turbo which uses an oil to water heat exchanger for the oil cooler, the radiator would be left alone but the oil cooler would be replaced, as well as any lines.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Doing the right thing, replacing both valves is the way to go. The valves with the ball leak far more often than the schrader. Never cared for them. The accumulator really should be replaced if the system has had no pressure in it and it was a keeper, but since you're looking to sell it, bet you can get by. Did you pull the orifice screen and see what was there?   Shame you can't get 134a. Hopefully the previous repairs included dye.   Some of the R4s I messed with developed leaks where the line sets connected or the front seal. Had one where the HPCO was leaking. Front seal would only leak under pressure. See any obvious oily spots?   I've got nitrogen I use to test pressure and to help dry the system prior to evacuation.   Keep up the good work

      Next time you're on a road trip to a state where you can still buy it stock up on 12oz cans, you might look into getting certified so you can buy it where you are as well. When they switched from R12 to R134a the test for certification was easy, they basically just wanted the $25

      Getting greedy...   The AC pump has been replaced at least once per service records, and it's been recharged twice since 2018 or so, in approximately 2 year intervals between those charges.   It was done at the same shop...clearly they were enjoying the revenue of recharging the system periodically versus actually tracking down and fixing the leak. I learned that the owner was 88 years old when she passed in 2023, so maybe they assumed only a temporary fix was needed anyway.   The system is basically empty now, the compressor spins freely, so I'm guessing it "just needs a recharge".   I vacuumed it down, and it has basically held overnight. Doesn't appear to leak under vacuum, check! So it must leak under pressure. I don't have a way to pressurize the system and pressurizing it with shop air wouldn't be great for the air dryer (which is probably toast anyway?)   The dryer (accumulator? I'm not an AC expert) has a Schrader valve, but the high side has an old ball-type valve, which are notorious for leaking. It's clearly had schmutz blown out of it at one point because the line/area next to the valve is coated old black crud, which I assume is AC refrigerant residue/oil, or maybe even dirty dye. I think I'll roll the dice and replace the valves. I have a black light around here somewhere so I'll find it and shine it around the engine bay in the dark to see if there's any dye.   I can't think of another way to track down the leak other than injecting some dye (if it doesn't have any) and having it charged up. We can't buy R134a off the shelf here anymore, so I'll run it up to Jiffy Lube and have them do it. I think I have a coupon. At the very least, the charge should last long enough for a year or two, according to history. I think this truck will be long gone by then. But cold AC is a selling point.

      6.2L L87 Powertrain Engine Noise (Lifter Failure) Question

      By clowe1243 · Posted

      Got the truck back today.  Called them yesterday to get an update, and miraculously my truck is finished?!?! The $13k out the door was complete bullshit!  Ended up being over $14k.  They added some bullshit service bulletin that I cant even find, where they replaced my radiator without telling me or asking me, and charging me for it.  Need to do more research into it, cause they leaked the first delivered radiator was ran over by FedEX.  Sounds like bullshit to me. 2.5 Months for an engine swap, which ended up being remanufactured, not new; ****ing ridiculous.  Brakes are squishy as hell, not sure if its from sitting.  Will give a couple days to see it that figures it self out.  GAVE IT BACK TO ME WITH 1 GALLON OF GAS!  Just filled the tank the day before drop off, more bullshit.  My dash cam SD card was formatted, not really much I can do about that. 3 year, 100k GM warranty at least.  Time to sell it and say **** off to GM.  Bad experience.  Cant wait for the survey email to come through.  Overpriced Raptor R, here I come!
