To the OP, I just ordered a 2016 Sierra Denali as well 3/1/2016, I did not get the Ultimate.

 

Reason's for not getting the Ultimate:

-Sunroofs - aka its a controlled leak, the rubber seal is always in direct sunlight, give it 3-4 years.....they get dirty fast and require annual service, special lube, which I bet 9/10 techs/owners don't check, nor do they cycle the roof often and clean the water trays or even inspect the drain tubes. Including the thermal disadvantage of single pane glass.

-22' Wheels - they are just painted wheels with cheap plastic chrome/black inserts border-line cladded wheels, I tow the summer toys, and 22's are horrible for comfort esp. on magnetic ride suspension, (I had a 2010 caddie with OEM 22's magnetic up front and air the rear, on the highway it feels like train car on the rails you feel every single bump or line in the road, worst idea ever to have 22's) keep in mind I was master Mercedes Benz tech for 6 years, I have mounted hundreds of wheel and tires combo's for lots of celebrity's. I have worked with very advanced suspension systems over the years, $500+K cars and SLR's, all this new tech in GM is already 10 years old. New to GM not new to the market by any means.

 

My order

-2016 Sierra Denali 4x4, CCSB ONYX/JET

-6.2 L86 engine, for only $2,495 more over the 5.3 (dollar for dollar that's about the same power bump as supercharger at 5 psi, with about 1/4 the price, no brainer!!!), this is my 3rd 6.2, I will never own a 5.3 again... ever!

-Chrome 20's - the Denali stamp is a nice touch, hopefully the chrome doesn't peel!. So glad they did away with the polished wheels, they look like awful and get hazy fast & are impossible to keep clean (anyone who has ever owned a set of polished wheels knows what I am talking about)

-Rear entertainment w/ blu-ray

-Tri mode steps (best design in the market today, from a technician point of view it looks far less failure prone over the folding units.

-Trailer brake controller

-Enhanced driver alert package

Here you go http://www.gmc.com/contact-us/chat.htmlor head over here and ask for your status http://www.gminsidenews.com/forums/f73/chevrolet-order-tracking-117663/index249.html it says Chevrolet but the member is a salesman for a dealership in Florida and can run anything GM.

 

 

congratulations, who sends you the event codes again? I don't think my sales person is tracking anything about mine.

Also if your order is a Chevrolet, www.Chevrolet.com chat or ask your salesman too.

I guess it is all in who you talk to and what their attitude is that day. My wife got a woman named Heather and she sent me weekly updates every Friday at 3 pm about my status of my order. A+ in my book with customer service. My last order it seemed like I was pissing them off every week when I chatted.

Its Here!!!! I love this truck. It is way better than my 09 Denali... Very satisfied. I think my favorite feature so far is the noise cancelling. Its the quietest vehicle I've been in. Second, I love the magnetic ride. Its so smooth. The last thing I will say is I also love the headlights. I was very nervous but they are fantastic. I will post pics soon. It is already dirty.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      Two interesting tidbits of information which are NOT related were just released.   One, regarding the possible thrust bearing issues / engine failures with the 3.0. Demonworks just did a segment in which they believe they may have found "a" or "the" cause of thrust bearing failures: A missing thrust bearing. If the engine doesn't have all its thrust bearings from the factory, the missing bearing can cause extra play which ends up destroying a nearby thrust bearing which then sends metal through the engine.       Of other importance, Lake Speed Jr released some interest information regarding oil weight selection for the 3.0. Comparisons of:   AcDelco 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w30 Mobil 1 ESP x4 0w40. Mobil Delvac 5w40   Spoiler alert: The Mobils are PAO Ester -base and the ACDelco is a Group III base. Mobil shows lower wear in their tests for similar weights. Additive packages between 20-30-40 weight ESP's appear to be the same, but only 0w20 is Dexos D licensed. Wear is even more reduced with 30 and 40 weight ESP although all perform very well and resist shear and provide very similar viscosities within temperature operating ranges in the 3.0.   There are even more surprises, so just go watch it.
