Hi everyone, I’m wondering if anyone can help me with the payload sticker on a 2020 Sierra Denali with ultimate package and tech package, short box and 6.2L. I’m thinking of buying one but there are none on the lot here. There was a 3.0 diesel Denali Ultimate that only had payload of 1350 so I am hoping the 6.2L has a little more. Thanks to anyone who can help!

Don’t know if this’ll help or not, but I was looking at identical specked Silverado high countries and noted a difference of 144 lbs if my math is correct. Both were identical except for the engines. They were 4x4 short box crew cabs. This was read directly from the “b” pillar door sticker. I’ve been able to call around and asked sales guys to run out to the truck and send me a photo of it.

You are saying the difference was that the 6.2L had 144 lbs MORE payload than the 3.0L diesel in an identically spec’d truck? I am wondering if the diesel Powertrain weighs that much more. And yes, that definitely helps, they didn’t have any gas Denalis and the next nearest dealership is 100 miles.

To add further upon it, looking up that configurator calculator. Going to the 6.2L added 82.8 lbs on the front axle and 2.6 lbs to the rear axle from a base 4.3L 6 speed, I think, but the 3.0L added 183.6 lbs to the front axle and 79.8 lbs to the rear axle. I also leaned the difference in short to standard box is 50 lbs from the configuration page. I was in a similar boat to you, but trying to figure out differences in weight from a standard to short box. Hope this gives you what you were looking for. With that gm calculator, I just flipped through the screens to read the weight differences.

That’s a major help, appreciate you looking that up. Had trouble navigating the site you linked on my phone so will check it out on PC later. 
 

Ram has a site you can input the VIN of any truck and get the VIN specific payload and towing numbers but GM makes it a little bit harder on us if we don’t have the truck right in front of us!

 

I should add I just realized the truck I pulled the payload sticker off was a standard box Denali 3.0 diesel (they had the exact same truck in short box that I had been looking at but when I went back to check the payload sticker i checked the standard box one. So 1348 lb payload is for Denali ultimate package standard box with diesel. Short box must be closer to 1400.

One more thing, the GVWR of the CC short box 3.0 diesel is 7200 lbs compared to GVWR of CC short box 6.2L of 7100 lbs (non-max trailering model). So if the 3.0 diesel is about 260 lbs heavier than base and the 6.2L is about 85 lbs heavier than base, the 6.2L should have about 75-80lb more payload in an identical truck based on the 175 lbs higher weight of the diesel but 100 lbs higher GVWR of the diesel model.

Yeah, I’m finding some discrepancies even with the door stickers. Comparing identical trims on a lot and a standard to short box showed only a 9lbs differnce, when everywhere else is saying it should be 50lbs. Good luck in your hunt. Your other option that I found was helpful was calling dealerships that had the trucks I wanted to compare and having them take a picture of the door sticker and sending it to me. Could help I your shopping if you’re that far away from dealerships. All the dealerships I spoke with were happy to help, but then of course I have been barraged with sales calls ever since.

Yeah, good catch. The 144 lbs difference from the 6.2l to the 3.0l Duramax accounted for the difference in the GVW. The door stickers I compared were for a 6.2L 7100 vs a 3.0L 7200, but the 6.2L had 144lbs more payload. 
 

finally Figured out how to upload the files. So the first pic I believe is the 6.2L high country deluxe package and tech package, bottom pic is identical except for the 3.0L Duramax, both short boxes. Mind you these are silverados and I even found the GMCs will weigh differently, the carbon bed I think increases payload 40-50lbs along with possibly the carbon leaf springs, but the multi-functional tailgate adds a bit of weight as well. I’ve been banging my head against a wall trying to understand all these payload configurations and how they’re figuring them out

Here is my 2019 CC/SB Denali ultimate 6.2l. I can't imagine there is any difference between 19 & 20.

If payload capacity is important to you, consider other trim levels.  I needed more payload capacity because I tow a travel trailer so I wound up getting an LTZ with the 6.2L and max trailering.  I now have the power and payload capacity I need to tow my travel trailer.  This is my sticker...

That’s awesome. Payload matters to me because need to make sure I can fit enough passengers and have enough payload for a small trailer but I don’t need as much payload or trailering as you have with that max trailering package. Was following this on the Ram forum and there are a lot of guys with loaded 1500 trucks coming in at 1000-1100 payload because they didn’t consider that when choosing options. It’s crazy. I need about 1450 or so to be comfortable. 
 

Ram actually makes it really easy to find VIN specific payload and towing info online but doesn’t have the nice stickers on the side with trailer capacity like GM has. Hopefully GM will set up an online database and then have best of both worlds in the future.

We bought a 2020 because the increased payload.  This is the limits for a GMC 3500 Denali.  Plus you get the 360 when you go Denali - 6.6L 10 speed Allison - also has auto engine braking!

Digit 8 of the VIN is the engine code. 

Top pic is a D - L84 5.3L

2nd pic is a T - LM2 3.0L

 

The L87 6.2L would be L

 

Fwiw, first digit is country of manufacture.

1 = US

3 = Mex

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.
