So there are a few options that I would like to have added but wondering if its possible. Like the power plug inside and out??? The brake controller has a wire there but the dealer told me no it can't be added??? Why? Cameras added for the trailer and work with the onboard system? More usb ports, wireless charging? Trailer tpms? Radio upgrade? If you have any info on these or other that you have had done, I would like to hear about it. I

For the new trucks, GM doesn't all them to reprogrammed for the OEM trailer brake controller, so you can't add it afterwards.

For wireless charging, there are threads here on installing aftermarket and oem ones in the console.

I cant help but ask ....Why wouldn't you have purchased one with those options?

 

Adding anything after the fact costs more.

Agreed. Kinda sounds like buyers remorse.  I get it, we all want more in our expensive vehicles but there is a point when it doesn't make sense to get a vehicle under optioned and try to install them later.

I still don't understand how adding steering wheel controls either hasn't or cant be done. That's my biggest buyers remorse I would say in getting the custom trim. When I had a MK6 VW I was able to swap the BCM and add a different steering wheel from higher trim and ignorantly assumed I could do the same with the Chevy.

yes always get options from manufacturer....it so much easier and usually they don't really charge much for them unless you have to get other items to get stuff you want.....

 

ill never buy another without stuff I want on inside

 

my only regrets on my current ride is not getting bucket seats, the plugs in cab and bed, and premium infotainment.....so basically the conv 2 package....it would cost way more to add these now than it would have to just buy conv 2 pkg for $1300....

 

this and not getting a 2500 instead of 1500 but that's another story, lol

 

I was really close to buying a custom trailboss, for what i want and need I would have been really bummed if I did

That's what is okay. From what I gather its basically just a 2" factory lift and different wheels and tires, definitely something you can do later on.  Yeah, I think the grill is  a little different too, but no biggie.

hard to add interior features but very easy to add suspension and tires....was genius marketing strategy though by GM

 

I was so stuck on how well it looked I almost overlooked the reality of truck.....

I have done a little research on this site, and I talked to a buddy that works at a GM dealership about adding things like the extra cameras. He basically told me that if the truck wasn't built with them you're out of luck unless you go aftermarket. This coincides with what I've read on here and other forums. Simple things like extra USB ports can be added because they only require a 12V source.

Yep

 

If it's not on there from the factory, it's impossible to upgrade later. I found that out the hard way myself.

 

Extra USB is easy. Amazon has a lot of options. 

I added 4 high speed chargers in the rear for my 3 kids.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      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.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      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

      By GN2018 · Posted

      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.
