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!

Before leaving the dealership unplug the front wheel sensor on the driver side. Turn off traction control and stability trac. And Don't hold back.. lol jk. Congrats on a well equipped truck. I ordered mine and boy oh boy days seems like weeks. Like muddkatt said post pics

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

Ohh, trust me, there will be pictures! I plan on wrapping her in clear bra as soon as I drive off the lot so she is always nice and purdy!

So just to confirm. I can order a 6.2 ltz z71 with max trailering and get 3.42s?

I'm almost 100% certain.. I would go to ur local dealer and see

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)
