interesting and bet its pretty close every year.......seems you can always get at least 20% except for maybe right when they are released.....I been on here almost a year and seen plenty get good discounts all year.....just depends on how well the buyer knows how to negotiate is the difference....they make it on financing.

You can get convenience 2 with buckets or convenience 2 with bench, check out gmfamilyfirst.com, even if you aren’t eligible for gm employee pricing, the build tool is a lot easier than the chevy site

If you have good relations with small town banks they tell you big bank secrets, end of Jan, feb and beginning of March worst time to buy a car if you’re looking for incentives, it’s tax season, people have money and want to spend it,

At the end of the year dealers don’t want cars on lots becuase they have to pay taxes on them

You can't get buckets in an LT...

I tried building an RST and it didn't work. selecting conv. 2 automatically selected conv. w/ buckets. that site is identical to the gmsupplier site, except the discount is bigger.

Convenience 2 is only available with buckets on trucks that can have buckets. If you want Convenience 2 with a bench, you need to get an LT or SLE.

Chevy’s website is terrible about automatically adding other things or deleting them (I.e. bench to bucket swap). 
 

I told the dealership exactly what I wanted and wouldn’t compromise on and they got it shipped over a couple days later. I was pretty impressed. I didn’t care about the “package” per se but said I needed bench, leather, sliding rear window, front outlet etc!

This would make sense. I originally wanted the RST but couldn’t find one the exact way I wanted it. LT was the way to go and the chrome bumpers have grown on me a lot. Was going to just replace but I’ll keep the chrome

Curious to see if GM gets more aggressive with pricing as 1-2 trillion dollars of wealth has just evaporated. 

Also would help to say where some of these deals are happening.

it does suck when you want to add a feature but they make you buy a bunch of stuff you don't want or need.....think they all do it to some degree.....when I was building RAM's they seemed to be lil better than chevy with that....I wanted to add an option and think I had to get snow plow or 5th wheel pkg or something and it had nothing to do with what I needed, lol.

 

most of stuff should just be ala carte

I got an RST but was also looking at an LT....wouldn't have mattered to me either way, I don't mind the chrome

I actually like the TB front end and black bumpers but wasn't willing to lose the interior features.....always buy the interior ive learned, outside is lot easier

 

am not a real tech person but I really like heated seats and wheel...paid no attn and didn't care but man are they nice!

I'm a stickler for fog lamps and rear window defogger.. something I think should be standard on every vehicle. so that's why I have my LT Silverado w/ convenience package from 2014. 

 

So when I saw that the new trucks wouldn't have fog lights on LTs, I was bummed. So I chose the RST.. the trailbosses are nice but i'm not a fan of the black front, the lift, or off road tires. 

 

IF I could pick and choose, i'd get a bench seat, bose radio, upgraded mylink dash, and no sliding window. but I can't, so I guess i'll compromise and get a console and leaking window.

    • 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.
    • 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? 🤔
