2021, 2500HD Z71 Sport, Duramax/Allison

I've had it for a week, absolutely love it. I had a 2019 RST 5.3 8sp, not a fan of the 8sp problems, so it had to go. Since we plan to buy a camper or boat in the future, I has to upsize as well.
This is my first diesel and I thought I would miss that V-8 sound, nope, not at all.535e0dde60c97f70b9f53e9fb41c2dd2.jpg101527fd7c02837bd47fbc057b3e0e1b.jpgb4aa3e41c0a96086e1ca04d19fc9b11d.jpg4697d04d0779a1a15bb37829a2ad2c29.jpg14333d8a318740b2a9c00a556faba302.jpg

Thanks.   

Make sure you have someone to help you  unless your 7 ft tall.  It is a little loose on the edges though.   I may have to drill a couple of holes for  more metal screws.   Other than that looks pretty good. 

 

Ride looks good.  Congrats.   My first diesel as well.   Love it.

That would work.   It has a plastic screw out on each end and thought they would tighten up but didn't do a good job.   The 4 screws in the middle are metal and affix to pre-existing holes and tightens up well.

Picked up my Brownstone SLT 2500 HD Gas last weekend. Love it! It was worth the wait since 11/5

Wow these trucks are big! Had to stand on a milk crate just to check the oil LOL!

I'll second that.  Looks real good on the GMC HD...Yes they are big.  My wife can't see in the back of mine.   What color is the interior?

@leverett.scott Thanks! I ordered the truck without see the color on a truck or car. The closest one was 400 miles away. Brownstone isn't available on the Denali either. So I ordered the SLT pretty much loaded with the big chrome bumper. I'm a little old school and love my chrome!

 

@fly53usmc The interior is Walnut and Slate. I did find a 1500 with this interior before ordering and it looks pretty good with the brownstone.

 

My wife couldn't get over people stopping in the dealers lot when we were picking it up. They wanted to know the color and wanted to buy it. I told the salemen put $10k in my pocket and it's for sale. LOL! Came out of the saleman's office and some guy was taking pictures of the truck. Made me feel pretty good with my choices.

I get many compliments on my Brownstone... Great color choice!

    • Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable. 
    • I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle. 
    • I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure. 
    • Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.
    • Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think.
