Well I don't know what it costs a company like GM to rework a model just 1 year after release but it sure must affect sales and buyers. 

 

I'm ready to buy a Trail Boss Custom, but having read that the 6.2L-10 Speed will be made available for the 2020 MY I kind of feel like waiting. 

 

Challenges here are that dealers don't seem to be aware of this update, or that I should be able to order already, or what pricing looks like. Meanwhile very happy to cut me a deal on one of their 2019 Trail Boss Customs sitting on their lot.

Having a 6.2 I may be a bit biased but after owning 3 other 5.3's in Tahoe's I'd never want to go back. The 5.3 is a great engine but the 6.2 just wow's me every time I drive it.

I would wait. You can't beat the 6.2l and once you drive it you will smile every time you get in the truck.

Pretty sure orders for 2020s haven’t opened yet. There is a guy on FB whose 2019 is being built first week of June. 2020 build doesn’t start until August. Can you wait that long? I couldn’t went 19 HC with trailboss lift.

Should have been able to order a 2020 model since early May. Thats when the order banks opened.

 

2020 production starts in the first week of August with Deliveries at the end of September earliest.

The HD ordering opened but don’t believe the 1500s. I had info and it said first week of June. I spoke with my dealer on Saturday and they can’t order 2020s yet.

Could be. I could handle that.....

I'll see what they know next week and pricing.

Personally, I would wait and get the 2020 6.2L, if that's what you're feeling an inclination towards. Better to wait a few months and be happy with what you get vs. buy something now and regret it. 

 

I love my 5.3L in my RST, but I would have most certainly bought the 6.2L if it was an option back in early March when I bought my 2019.

Just wait it out! 4 months isn’t very long. The 6.2 with the 10speed gets like the same mpg so you won’t be losing out there. You will have more power if you need it and the 6.2 just sounds wayyyy better?

I just got off the phone with my sales manager / factory order guy.

As Ryan said. HD Orders opened on May. 1500 Silverado orders for 2020 Open 6/1/19 (tomorrow). However the build program allows you to build the 2020 as of today.

HOWEVER.

He tried to build a 2020 LT Trailboss with all the same options I ordered in the 2019 (which I will no longer be getting... they weren’t thrilled) and add the 6.2 / 10 Speed. He told me that according to the build sheet it was a $2495 Additional Charge, however that option was blacked out / unable to be selected at this time on the build program. So as of right now, it doesn’t look like Chevy is taking orders just yet on the 2020 LT Trailboss with the 6.2. He also said that he has seen it before where on new MY options like this, Chevy has opened ordering for specific options up later towards the end of the year.

If anyone heard differently. Please let me know. I want to get on this list ASAP. But above is an hour old update from the guy at my dealership that places all the factory orders.

Of course the Steeler will want to sell you something off his lot. They only work for themselves pretending they care about what you're doing. Just be direct with the people. Get what you want I would wait and screw what the dealer has to offer if it's not what you want 100%

I went through the same  dilemma last week. I opted to save $13,200 below MSRP on a 2019 exactly as I wanted it (special order). If I was not retired and trying to learn to live on a strict budget I may have gone with a 2020. It will be a long time before serous incentives and rebates are available on 2020’s and if you do have a trade in it will be a year older and worth less. Now is the best time to buy the “All New Silverado”. My thoughts are I saved enough that if I drive it for 3 years under warranty I should be able to trade for a new one later without getting killed. Good luck and don’t settle - get what you really want. ?

6.2 made me smile every time I started it and cry every time I compared the high test price with the regular price.

 

 

Everybody's situation is different.  

The internet can't make the decision for you.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
