Beware/long winded post;)

 

Picked up a 2019 GMC AT4  w 6.2 yesterday from Everett GMC in Little Rock AR, originally worked a tentative deal with a dealer in Idaho but after discovering the distance from Dallas decided to look around. Contacted Russell Crouse at Everett GMC (awesome sales person and nice dealership!) and he was able to match the price.

 

Four hour drive back to Dallas vs the 23 hours it would have been from Boise.

I had swore myself away from GM trucks after all the transmission issues in my 14&15 Denali and High Country trucks.

Bought a 17’ Roush F150 and a 18’ Lariat F250 before this GM purchase and didn’t keep either very long.

 

I bought the AT4 without seeing one in person or driving (I originally was going for a Trail Boss)

But at last moment before pulling trigger saw the AT4 online and decided I wanted the front end look, seats, 6.2 and 10 speed so I went with the GMC.

 

Likes:

Looks (especially front and rear)

Power (6.2 pretty strong but it will be getting a supercharger like my last two 6.2 GM trucks)

Transmission (10 speed is awesome!)

Interior (even though numerous critical reviews)

Seating position and comfort

Parking assist cameras

Rear view camera mirror

Heads up display

 

Dislikes:

Stereo not great for the (“top Bose system”)

Dislike the auto shut off feature, can deactivate but have to do it every time you start vehicle.

Wheels/tires look too small for the overall size of the truck.

 

Overall I give it a 9 so far but I can fix the wheels/tires and stereo and researching the auto shut off crap which I hate!

 

Best Regards,

John Page

I currently have a 17 denali and I will be upgrading to either the at4 or denali. First thing I'll be doing in wheels and tires. 

If I go with the at4 I'll be lifting it enough to fit 35s on it Denali I'll probably go with 33s

My 2016 Bose system does leave a lot to be desired. It's good enough for my 45 year old ears today but I'm pretty sure my 2003 Cummins Ram with the factory Infinity was better. I seem to remember it having a lot more punch. I haven't heard a 2019 GM but my assumption is that Ram slaughters it in the sound department and likely every truck manufacturer for that matter.

RAM does put in a pretty good stereo... then again, they need a lot of punch to cover up all of the rattles...

Congrats on the new truck and enjoy :thumbs:

So why did you not keep either Ford very long?

F-150 was the Ecoboost, hated the sound and ride quality not great

F-250 liked very much but turning radius and parking lots not fun

I test drove a ram with the 12 inch display and 19 speakers this weekend. It's insane.

But if you adjust the brake pedal all the way it actually falls off

Good luck with the new truck. Looks like you get a new one every year?

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.
