You misspoke my friend. 18 years of nothing but smooth sailing. Routine maintenance aside, I replaced one O2 sensor on that truck. That's it. No factory recall. Hell I never even visited a dealership service dept. I still have it but my son will take it. I bought the Sierra out of necessity and want to venture to other brand.  Thank you for welcoming me.

You are very welcome.

 

That is why I gave a friendly warning of my intent.

 

Think you are really going to like the extra space inside of a full size, and the modern amenities that are offered now. Tech has come a long way in 18 years.

 

Enjoy!

Really thrilled about everything about this truck. Only 1300 miles of "grandma style" driving.

Northsky Blue RST with added red tow hooks, Z71 grill emblem and Rough Country LED Grill Light which will alternate flash for emergency response and also still steady burn for dark nights

How’s the light output on those? And is the install easy and straight forward?

Installation was not too bad. Instructions are pretty detailed. Hardest part is cutting out the grill inserts where the lights go. I work at an emergency vehicle upfitter shop so I'm use to tackling a light mounting challenge. I have an air tool cut off wheel and a small rotary die grinder which made it easier. I also cut and splice wiring every day, so it made routing wires and going thru the firewall easier. I have read where some are buying wireless controllers so the don't have to go thru the firewall. The light output is awesome. There are some post on here from others who have installed these and posted pics with and without them turned on. They are impressive. I just put mine on yesterday so I really haven't had the chance to check them out at night.

Hi all. I just joined the site. Came home with a brand new 2020 AT4 fully loaded with all the options including the sport exhaust and cold air intake. Simply love this truck. Looking forward to contributing to the site. 
 

Are you sure there wasn't an option that was not checked? Fully loaded is a bold statement to make with all the options on these trucks...

Your right. I didn’t get the lovely locking center console and the underseat storage tray. :)

Look forward to seeing it lifted and if you could take some photos of the clearance on the cv boot to the bottom of the strut after you get it installed. Great looking truck

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • 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.
