Everyone:

 

I am going to be wanting a new truck in a year from now. 

I really want a Single cab , short bed truck with a 5.3 liter V8. 

I have no desire for a long bed either. Not my style. 

I just don't have the need for a big truck just driving it to work and back daily. 

Lighter truck , bigger motor.... is always a good combo... 8-)

+ 99% of the time its just me driving it. 

I do like having the bed for various things I need to do fixing up around the house. 

Thats the purpose for getting a truck as my daily.  I'm tired of not having room to move stuff. LOL

 

Any word on the possibility of GMC or Chevy making the Single Cab, Short bed, with a 5.3 in the US ? 

 

They already make it in Mexico. See link below.

It looks really good from the pics.  (See pic below)

 

If they do not make one I guess I can always look for a low mileage 2016-2018 model. 

I was hoping to buy new though. 

 

Thanks for any information you may have.

Bit late but might as well bump this thread rather than start a new one.

 

Has anyone looked into the possibility of modifying a Regular Cab long-box into a RCSB? Could it be as simple as removing the bed, cutting out a length of frame, and putting on a 6'6" box?

Read some where can’t remember that GM is considering  more regular cab options.  Good move

almost bought reg cab ans woulda been my first. but I need bed space so woulda been 8ft bed...….fortunetly my dog is still with me so had to go with dbl cab , after she gone I have no need for it so I bought it for her, no regrets....she wont make it another year and ill have this truck far byond but that's totally ok.....you have to get reg cab or 2500 HD to get 8ft bed.....trucks have gotten so big, I live at beach where space is premium so reg cab 8ft is same as my dbl cab 6'6'' bed...…...and it was tough to find a std bed truck....95 % of all trucks sold are short beds( never used to be such a thing)…...anyways just get std bed in reg cab, like a $200 difference and at some point youll appreciate having extra space.....don't think they offer reg cab in short box

To me the 6'6" box IS the short box. 8' is long, and that teeny bicycle basket behind the crew cabs doesn't come on a 2-door, therefore it doesn't exist! ?

That would be fantastic. Had a dealership sales guy give me the "oh we really want your trade, come find out what it's worth" pitch. Told him that until GM sells an RCSB to replace mine, I'll never give it up. Didn't have an answer for that lol.

I kinda agree with you, but it's been 15 years since GM agreed with that.

 

Somebody in marketing didn't like the 5'8' box on the 1500 crews being referred to as the short short box....

but its not, the 5'7 is shorty....hard to find even std boxes on trucks as 95% are shortys now.....reg cab at least offers an 8ft, you have to get 2500HD to get one otherwise

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
