My truck arrived to the rail yard in Twin Oaks, PA on Saturday 5/11... My dealer tells me they need to wait for GM to complete the delivery to the dealership before they can provide me an ETA.  My dealership is 1 hour from the rail yard... the wait is killing me, I'm so close!

As of 5/16 my event code is now "4800B"... whatever that means.  I assume unloaded from the train and bayed waiting on transport.  The wait continues.

The RST i had ordered is sitting all lonely at the dealership.  Been there well over a month....guess no one wants it.

I'm surprised how few RSTs I've seen on the road. I would say the trucks I see the most around my part of DFW are: 

 

1. LT Trail Boss - seen a LOT of these this month

2. AT4s - surprised how many of these I have seen

3. LT Silverado CCs - have always been popular with the TX Edition packages

4. Denalis - a lot of people driving these in the upper middle class 'burbs

 

I really thought the RST would be bigger seller. Most of the dealer inventories I've looked at seem to have RSTs as the fewest models of the 2019s.

Carbon Black Metallic (Similar to the old Black Granite Metallic) will be available on the 2020 trucks.

I have yet to see a GMC Elevation out and about on the streets.

Here in KC AT4's and Silverado LTZ/Trail Bosses are about a tie.

I had optioned this RST to the max.  Performance, 20's, at's, leather, conv II, safety, max tow, etc.  Msrp was like 59.

Me either. GM limiting it to the DC would be a big reason.

Sounds like a pretty sweet ride. I'm wavering back and forth on whether or not I regret not getting the performance exhaust on mine. I'd like to hear the new 5.3L DFM with a tuned exhaust before I decide, I think.

I am new to this site so it may take awhile to figure it out.

 

Ordered my LT Trail Boss in March and picked it up this morning.  No  pictures yet bit will try to do  that out soon.

 

Looking forward to learning more about this truck from everyone.

 

Thanks,

Brad

Congratulations! For sure you'll enjoy any moment of cursing with your beast. If you see any misbehaving by her, just be patient and break-in the truck exactly per the procedures mentioned in the manual, page 246. You can download the owner's manual from here:

    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
    • 286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔           
    • hello I recently bought a 2012 gmc 1500 with a 5.3 and have a AFM disabler on it I'm interested in doing a cam but I'm worried if I remove the AFM system I will fail smog does anyone have info if they are able to detect that or a work around to it (not talking about hot smogging) please let me know thank you
