I have a 2019 silverado LD-LT all the epa stickers even say 2019 but this truck is identical to a 2018 inside and out. When I bought vent shades 2019 would not fit I had to use 2018 and they fit perfect. What gives ?

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new truck!  As already mentioned, GM produced both the old and the new designs in 2019.  The "old" 2019's were a limited production hence the LD.  When ordering aftermarket parts go with those intended for '18's.    GM ran both old and new in '99 and '07.

GM had to do something with all the leftover stock of discontinued '18 Silverado assemblies and recover costs of changing over for the T1 line.....simple solution is to market all remaining '18 production as a special model , a '19 LD.....sort of like painting black stripes on a white horse and selling it as a zebra.

 

Nothing new....they're also pulling the same crap with their discontinued '18 Impalas  being marketed as '19s (and really no different from the '17s)....and the discontinued leftover old gen '16 Malibus sold alongside the "new" 16 Malibus..

2019 LD is the same as a 2018 (K2 Body Style).  2019 (T1) is the new body style

Thx much. Have a better understanding now.

They should be and they may have more features, depending on which features you consider important.

Yes, but not by much. The 'legacy' model is only available as a Double Cab and also only available in WT, Custom and LT trim. The LD model is out of production now, so whats out there on dealer lots is all that's left.

Much cheaper. My dealer was selling them for around $34,000 CAD, a comparable 2019 LS spec truck was around $47,000msrp. The 2019 LD Custom are all the same trim level as far as I know. They had 7 of the LD Customs at my dealer and they all seemed to be in the LS trim and priced within a couple thousand of each other. I do not think you could buy a LTZ LD, but it may be different for you guys in the US. As Donstar stated, order 2018 parts for the K2 body style. This is why you see some year Chevy's and GMC's referred to as, for example, a 2007.5. This usually signifies that two body styles were produced that year and is common with the change over years, but more common in the 2500 and 3500 series trucks.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.
