You joined just to tell everyone that? :rolleyes: Gee wonder what you are?

 

Tyler

Please tell me what I am? If your going to say a " long time Chevy fan who has been disappointed since 2013" then you are correct. If you're going with troll then you would be wrong. 

 Also, I am pretty sure I have had this account for awhile but have not posted.

Read through the entire GM fleet order guide. Biggest omissions I’ve noticed so far:

 

1. No adaptive cruise, only “following distance indicator” as part of the “Driver Alert Package II” , not included with “Driver Alert Package I”.

 

2. HUD, 360 Surround Vision cameras and rearview HD camera mirror only available as an option on Denali as part of the CWW Technology Package. N/A on SLT. Pictures online suggest these will be available on the AT4. No mention of the AT4 in the guide.

 

3. No Z71 option. Now called X31 Off Road Package. Possibly only available on the AT4?

 

As others have mentioned, 6.2 + 10spd only available on 4WD versions. 

 

Missing Adaptive cruise is disappointing but not a deal killer for me as I rarely even use regular cruise.  If the AT4 has the CWW tech Package, I’m in.

Yeah I would like to have the adaptive cruise but it’s not a deal breaker. The HD cameras will be nice because the current ones are crap. I really wanted the RST with the 6.2 but I have a HC now with the 6.2 and 2wd. Didn’t really want 4wd but I will still be getting the truck. The 10 spd and lower overall weight will be nice and the truck really didn’t need more power but would of been nice. :)

Don't forget:

1. No Pano Roof Option.  Some have no need, I like them, and the competition offers as an OPTION.

2. No Ventilated Rear Seats - Ram has them coming

3. Lower TQ numbers on the 6.2L - 450 vs. 460 on previous gen.  WTF?  

4. Poor placement of outside mirrors = FUGLY.  Oh wait that was an improvement for visibility...glad I needed this so I can now see objects in my mirrors and out my side windows for the first time EVER.  Really...C,mon GM who do you have in your focus groups?

 

Ohh.,. and the GM adaptive cruise in their trucks and full size SUVs is the biggest POS in the industry so that is one thing I do not want in an option package.  It can be an option for people that want it like I mentioned in bullet 1 but don't force that crap on people.  I got rid of two Yukon Denalis because it was such crap.

 

Sigh.

Also no towing mirrors!

Just soooo many misses with this truck I cannot understand who their audience is?   Oh and how bout them fender wells on the GMC.  Guess the designers could not make up their minds..."go back to rounded, no everyone like squared, hey I am new here let's incorporate both so we do not offend anybody that way everyone will be happy."  Geez MC.

Its hard to conceive that they would not offer the LT Trailboss with the 6.2l and a 3.42 rear diff

Awesome Thanks!

Chevy dude on YouTube did a video on the new trucks just a day or 2 ago. It seems these early production trucks are going to be current body styles. The info he has said the new body style probably won't hit dealership lots until early 2019. Check out his video for more accurate dates than I can give. I just remember being disappointed with his info. That is for crew cabs. They plant in Mexico isnt supposed to start production until the end of the year.

Sorry... but that's just inaccurate. New body style crew cab trucks will most definitely start being produced in mid July. I'm 100% certain.  He's getting mixed up by the fact that double cab K2XX chassis vehicles will continue production for nearly the rest of the year while T1XX ramps up.

I like the new GM's but I'm glad there are other brands to choose from for customers like yourself who are unhappy with the upgrades.  (I'm sure you would have been even more outraged when GM removed the triangle vent windows and used this location to mount "FUGLY" mirrors.)  It is fine to prefer one brand over another but there are reasons behind any changes or upgrades.

Oh ok wasn't sure.

    • 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.  
    • 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.      
    • 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.
    • 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?
