Hey my mom tells me one thing with ordering and the dealer another (they’ve never custom ordered a vehicle for anyone they say), but here’s my question - do you get the current rebates when you order or the rebates when it’s delivered? Am I pretty safe ordering now for delivery in March/April, closer to end of production year?

Picked up my Double Cab AT4 today. Really pleased with how my order came out. I picked the right trim, options and color.

Rebates when you take possession/delivery. Least that is what I have been told. Please correct if I'm wrong.

Getting ready to order my new 2020 Silverado still going back and forth on what engine to get. It's only like $950 difference but that not it. I don't pull a heavy load anymore so do I need another 6.2 or will the 5.3 feel slow or under powered??????

I'm going with the RST in black with black leather.

I traded a 2018 sierra 6.2 in for a 2019 sierra 5.3 in december. No regrets from me. The power difference is barely noticeable and when I get on the 5.3 it has plenty of get up and go. I haven't towed yet ,but my boat isnt that heavy anyway. Fuel savings is a plus, since I no longer have to use premium gas. The 6.2 was overkill for what I need the truck for. If you plan on putting a lift and bigger tires, I would probably go with the 6.2, bc I drove a 5.3 rocky ridge that left me wanting more.

You are 100% correct.

No, when they change, you get what is available at the time of purchase.

Not trying to stir the pot, but with the amount of time you have spent on the site, looking at others problems, and success stories, do you think you will be happy with the truck?

 

Have you had a chance to drive something similar to what you are buying?

This is what I was hoping to here from someone that has done this. I heard near the same on another forum. Thank you makes may discussion easier now. Getting older not looking to go with big tire or a lift. Had to add running boards just so my wife could still get in a stock truck.

Check out the electric steps from gm, they come out farther and down lower than a normal step. I really like them. I think you have to add this feature when you order the truck as they cant be added after the fact unless you go aftermarket.

You seem to know way more than I do about this. I'm still looking at differences when ordering and what I can and can't get. Many things I want I would have to go to the LTZ to get. I'm hooked on the RST look no chrome. But come on not even a wireless phone charger without adding. Dealer keeps telling me that I have loaded up my RST almost to the LTZ level. I'm just waiting until the guy that bought my truck come threw with the money.

I got a call from the dealer today and they said that my truck is in. Trying to pick it up on Saturday. It's a Black 2020 LT Trailboss with the 6.2. I can't wait.

Crazy TPW was 2/10 I was checking with Chevy Chat all this week. Monday it showed 3300 and Tuesday it showed 3400 Thursday they said it showed "bayed" I emailed my salesman Thursday night trying to get an idea when it may show up. He called this afternoon and said he had the invoice with a shipping expiration of 2/18. Texted these pics a few minutes later after he decided to go over to the body shop lot where lots of their new stuff is dropped off. I am wondering if the paint is even dry. Pretty good turnaround seeing how we ordered it on 1/13/20 I should be picking it up early next week :thumbs:

I’m never happy, although quite happy with my suburban, I drove a LT TB with leather, that’s as close to the one I bought with the option I wanted

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
