I just left the dealership and the order is in as 'Sold.' A 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ (1LZ), Crew Cab, Standard Bed, 4WD. I will keep this thread updated with whatever information I get.

 

Here are the options:

  • Deep Ocean Blue Metallic $395
  • Jet Black, Perforated Leather-appointed Seat Trim $0
  • 20" Chrome wheels $1,495
  • LTZ Plus Package $770
  • Max Trailering Package $925
  • Cargo Convenience Package $795
  • 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 engine $2,695
  • 8-speed automatic transmission $0
  • 7600 lbs. GVWR $0
  • 3.42 rear axle ratio $0
  • Engine block heater $90
  • Integrated trailer brake controller $0
  • Chevrolet MyLink® audio system with 8" Diagonal Color Touch with Navigation $495
  • Bose® sound system $0
  • Wireless Charging $0
  • Front full-feature leather-appointed bucket seats $510
  • Heated and vented seating $650
  • All-weather floor liner $200
  • Interior driver assist handle $80
  • P275/55R20 All-season blackwall tires ($200)
  • Power sunroof $995
  • Cross rails tiered storage system $0
  • 4" chromed tubular round assist steps $685
  • Spray-on bedliner $0
  • Cargo box LED lighting $125
  • Movable upper cargo tie-downs $0
  • Power heated outside trailering mirror with turn signal, LED rear guidance lamp, running lamp, power folding and chrome cap $295
  • Forward collision alert $0
  • Lane Keep Assist $0​

My dealer is rather large and has all the brands: Chevrolet, GMC, Buick and Cadillac so they are going to call-in a few favors to make sure the truck gets built. They did miracles last time when I ordered my 2013 Avalanche so I have faith they will do well now.

 

I had a tough time contemplating between the 1500 and the 2500 but it finally came down to not needing the diesel all the time.

 

I am sure I'll be happy with my truck - either way it has a tremendous amount more power and towing capacity than my Avalanche.

 

So exciting!

I didn't know you could get the 6.2 with the 3.42 rear. I'm probably ordering one next week and I wasn't thrilled about the 3.23s.

I have almost the same truck but mines a 15. One thing I did not like was the huge towing mirrors. Swapped them out for the LTZ regular mirrors (DL3) and I could not be happier with the truck!

From what I know, the only way you can get 3.42's with the 6.2l is to get the Max Trailering Package.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you can't get the Z-71 package when you get the max tow package. Because of the max tow having different shock valving

I wanted the Max trailering package when I ordered my truck but I could not get it with the Z71 package.

For the 6.2/8speed, the 3.42 comes with the NHT package (and is only available with the NHT package)

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      My office is slowly filling with Blazer parts. Getting ready to do the big bang of repairs. Intake (second time), water pump, radiator, hoses, and I'm going to re-seal the timing cover where someone went hog wild with silicone. Might as well, because I don't think that's done right.   There's a local tow yard that I didn't realize also has quite the inventory of junk vehicles. This is an old school junkyard. No waivers. Cash only, you were never here if anyone asks. Don't piss off the owner, or you'll end up in the back of one of those cars, headed for the shredder. And if you see something, don't snitch. Cars stacked double high, wasps nests, trip hazards and junk everywhere. I found a few little odds/ends for my Blazer. The $20 I spent was worth the experience alone. But I was never there. What yard?   I officially love/hate this truck. It's so out of my wheelhouse, roughest vehicle I've ever owned. Every. single. repair. -is so hard-fought, everything that can go wrong, goes wrong. Currently in a hate phase, and kind of wish I was closer to sending it down the road with a lucky new owner, to be honest. Preparing for the day when I tear into this thing...lots of pre-funk with Ibuprofen.   Rock Auto sent me a bad reman rear wiper motor. It was a bear to install. The tailgate in these things has about eleventy-billion fastners and pieces and things that need to be uninstalled/moved just to access the shoddy rear wiper motor. The casing on mine was cracked clean through, btw. Nice, GM, nice. SO I got this new motor installed, hit the switch, I see it wig-wag (without the arm installed) and think I'm golden. Reassemble everything. With the wiper arm installed I gave it one final test. Time to clean up and take the other half out to dinner, collect a paycheck, right?   Nope. I hear the plastic worm gear stripping as the arm hung up. Just like my broken motor. Weak/old and shredding itself internally. I can assist the arm and the range of motion is normal, and it parks correctly. It just doesn't have the poop to actually sweep the arm with a blade on it. Oh, hell. Turned the key off and shut the shop door behind me. I get to do that over again, too.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By BlueV8 · Posted

      A complete delete is the most thorough mechanical solution, but it is also major engine work. On a quiet truck that is still under extended warranty, opening the engine purely as prevention is difficult to justify. A plug-in disabler stops commanded cylinder deactivation, but it does not remove or repair the collapsible lifters, so it should not be treated as failure insurance. I would keep the oil full, document the maintenance, and have any persistent tick, misfire, or loss of power diagnosed promptly. If the engine eventually has to come apart, that is the logical time to compare an OEM-style repair with a complete delete. The right choice depends on the truck’s symptoms, warranty status, expected ownership period, and whether the engine already needs to be opened. We explain that decision in more detail here—full disclosure, this is our own guide: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/do-you-actually-need-an-afm-disabler   One exception: some 2021 L82/L84 trucks have RPO YK9, meaning cylinder deactivation was already disabled in the factory ECM; on those trucks a plug-in disabler is redundant, although the AFM/DFM hardware remains inside the engine.
