this morning i picked the wife's dry cleaning and glory hallelujah there was a hook in my Custom TB. i was pleasantly surprised since they basically took every simple convenience out of this model. it's a miracle there were seats included with the package. :)

No offense but a Custom isn’t meant to have all the pleasantries... you get what you pay for

No you don't get what you pay for. $40K should get more than what a Custom TB comes with. Gator don't play no trick.  $40K should include:

- Steering Radio Buttons

- Center Console that opens

- Pockets on the back of seats

- Lights on visor mirrors

- Seats that move up and down in the front

- Seats that move, recline in the back

- More than 1 (ONE) USB port on the center console, or anywhere in the truck for that matter

- Some basic safety feature like lane keep assist

- Push Button Start/Engine Ignition

Shhh...they probably made a mistake, now they're going to remove it from the 2020 models.

While I agree that spending $40k should include some things, you still purchased a base model truck. The reason it’s $40k is the same reason no vehicles are being built right now... UAW demands.

You paid cheap....you got cheap.....and a $40K truck is a cheap vehicle.

 

At a time when a Hershey bar was 5 cents and a gallon of gas was a quarter, my dad paid $2200. for a  new '60 Chevy Impala, a cheap car in its day, the bottom feeder of the GM lineup,  with PS, PB, V8, AM tube radio, no A/C  and no nothing else.  Today a Hershey bar is $1 and gas around $3 for an inflation factor of 15 - 20 (worse if you consider gold which went for $35/oz. compared to $1500/oz today) so an Impala rightly  for $4.4K .....proportionally a $40K Silverado with base options, even including A/C, is cheap by comparison. Suckers like me who want a decent truck and load the base model with over $14K in options so GM can afford to offer a stripped price leader for the model, if not you'd have to settle for a base line Colorado or lower. Consider yourself lucky you even got a Silverado with hooks, and seats too.

Hooks? What the hell are you talking about? Tow hooks?

What did you pay for your RST?

$56,165 MSRP paid $42,000 rollout including State tax on the differential on my $32,000 trade (exceeded KBlueB excellent and what I wanted by $2K).  Good break because it was overpriced for the model.  And it too is a fairly cheap truck ..certainly no top of the line High Country or Denali truck either. But I liked the color scheme and front grille on the RST, only chrome left on the whole truck is the surround for the front bowtie.DSCN0637.JPG.d894a0db094645ed93cd5dfe7c65a5f3.JPG

Hahaha nope. He’s talking about the hook on the roof for a clothes hanger. That’s why this is a ridiculous post.

Maybe I'm old school, but my Custom has enough modern conveniences to survive.  Crap, the steering wheel audio controls are the thing I seem to miss the most but then I just have to reach another 6 inches to adjust the stereo.  Oh the horror!  ?

 

$34k is what I paid and I get to drive around a killer vehicle with plenty of room vs. some Hyundai with leather seats and steering wheel controls.

Cars have pretty much kept up with inflation over the years, which is especially impressive when you account for new tech/features. However, wages haven't seen the same growth.

I see, well I guess that makes sense.  Mine was $37.5K OTD, so price of the truck $35,500, with $500 in title and dealer processing and $1500 in sales tax.  For that I did get

 

-5.3V8,

-4x4  Z71

-Chrome Dual Exhaust  (the dual exhaust setup is much better IMHO, b/c of the sleek line you get much better Angle of Departure off road)

-Off Road Package with Steps, Sport Bar and Tonneau

- Electronic Tailgate

- LED Bed Lights

- Sirius XM

- Infotainment

- 2 INCH Lift Kit

- Goodyear Off Road Tires MudTrac

      Wiring Help, Please

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      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.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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. 😉
