Interesting color...sometimes gray, sometimes blue, sometimes even green.  It actually fits well with the ugliest license plate in the US (NY).

Here’s mine, filthy and putting in some work on the worst day of the year for me (winterizing ?)

There are several names for this color on lots of different vehicles.  Regardless the color code if GJI.  I have searched high and low to find a powder coat that would match but to no avail.  I really want to color my chrome bumpers.  The local bedliner shop that does kevlar spray said they could color match kevlar.  Its kinda cool, and would be tough as nails on a bumper.  Its a little rougher than I like though.

Refers to the internal designation for the new generation/new body style that started in 2019.  There were also 2019 double cabs in the old body style during the change-over process. 

Your 2017 is a K2

 

Before that there was GMT900,

before that the GMT800 (which was the first ones to use the hydroformed front rails in the frame)

Before that, different frame supplier and the 400 series....

 

Fwiw, GM refers to paint colours by the order code. (RPO code)

Sometimes chev and gmc (and the other divisions) will use the same paint colour, and same rpo code, but label it with a different name.

It's common for the shade of the colour to change every few years, and some colours are one year or part year colours.

In any case, correct colour matching is done by the RPO code (order code). Pictures often 

 

 

GMC calls   GJI  Dark Sky Metallic    
Chev calls GJI  Shadow Gray Metallic

So this thread could have been called Dark Sky Metallic / Shadow Gray Metallic

GJI wasn't available on 2017.  

 

 

Is yours 'Graphite Metallic'?

If so, it's RPO code is GPA.  (GMC called GPA Dark Slate Metallic) 

It's no longer available. 

 

The 2017 should have the label in the glove box that lists the RPO codes.  They have moved the info to a QR code on the door post --- that can be read using a phone app.  Of course any dealer (or gm chat / social media) can also run the vin and get a list of 'as built' codes.

My dark sky Denali. First saw it on the lot the way the salesman said it was blue and the way the sun hit the color I almost walked back in and said there’s a gray one out there but I don’t see a blue one

Not the best picture, but I found some AT4 wheels local and swapped out my RST 20s. Much better, but the Duratrac tires are going to have to go.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.
