Because GM always made GMC's truck line a bit more ''luxurious'' in a sense, the inside is always a bit better, hence why Denali looks way better than High Country year after year.

Have you seen the new Sierra's? I mean I guess it's great that GM let some special needs kids design a truck, but didn't think they'd be stupid enough to put it on the market.

Silverado = Crew Truck. Sierra = Boss's truck. Gotta get something for that $1,500 price jump. Like real Aluminum interior trim vs painted plastic, liners, flares, and better looks. GMC always launches a feature before Chevy, like the cargo lights in the box rails, multipro tailgate, adaptive cruise, two tone interiors etc. 

True on those points but better looks?  Hmm... not so sure about that.  Sierra has always been a nice classy truck.  I've owned many new Sierra's and Silverado's since 1985 and always had GM trucks. Some years the Sierra looked better and some years the Silverado looked better.  I just came out of a '16 Sierra but GM dropped the ball on the '19 Sierra with those hideous sim card looking fender wells.  The fender well trim does it no justice and just enhances the ugliness.  I hear so many people saying that and even GMC salesman saying what a terrible job designers did on those fenders and is why many didn't buy the Sierra.  I don't know what designers were thinking but it is what it is.  It would be a really nice looking truck if the wells were either rectangular or round.  The way they are now is horrible... I suspect those fenders will change.   The "boss" can drive his Sierra and I'll stick with my "crew" RST for '19.

I much rather a truck without the well trim. I think the Silverado fender wells look so much better than the Sierra. I just can't get used to Sierra's fugly "sim card" fender wells. Hidious... I've heard so many people say how ugly the Sierra fender wells are.  WTH were they thinking??? 

 I agree.  I was interested in the Denali when I saw the front.  Once I walked around to the side of it that was all I needed to see.  Picking up my High Country tomorrow.

To each his own. I find the 19 Silverado repulsive in comparison to the 19 Sierra on looks alone. That front fender line for starters, and the lights... you serious GM? The last time a Silverado looked better that a GMC to me was the Cat-Eye Duramax era. 2005-2007.5 were the only years a Silverado looked better, and that was only Duramax equipped trucks. Again, speaking subjectively, you can call me a blind jackass if you want to.

I like all the GMT-800 Silverados better than the Sierras, not just the Duramaxes. Agree that was the last time the Silverado looked better.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
