I just bought my RST a month ago and haven't had any Transmission issues but doing my "Pre-Buy" research, I found that the issue was somehow related to the type fluid used from the factory---Fluid changed no more issue??? 

That's GM's official take on it.  Complete fluid flush helps the shifting issues of the 8spd.  Your transmission already has the correct fluid installed from the factory.  If you do experience shifting issues, I wouldn't suspect the fluid.  Although that would be the cheapest thing to change.

I haven't had any issues with my 8spd yet.  What I didn't like was the transmission programming / mapping when it was newer.  Weird downshifts and such.  After a few thousand miles, that went away. 

 

That's a great deal on the 2020 RST.  I don't think you will find it much cheaper right now.

Deal worked out as I had originally stated... Now I have a 2020 RST Z71 Crew Cab in the garage! Do miss the ole K2 a little bit but, the huge cab will be really nice for my family and I to travel around in and I over all I feel like the T1 is a better truck than the K2..


Thanks for the input guys!

Wow i need to maybe think about trading up to something if these are the used prices they are giving right now. If your getting 21k offered for a lt double cab then my all terrain double cab loaded with the 6.2 should be in the 25-30k range especially considering i only have 40k on it vs. your over 100k and still has a year of warranty left on it.

Do it! I was able to Score a 21’ SLT Sierra Diesel today. With dealer and Costco Discounts it was 10k off List plus gave me $33500 for my 17’ CC LT w/41k.

Not a very go guys! Not a very good pic, no accessories on it yet in this either..  I added Havoc HS2 Nerfs, Truxedo Pro15x & Weathertech Mud Guards.

That's actually a good deal considering the pick-up shortage. My 2019 RST 5.3 4x4 is worth the same as the price I bought it at... $43k.

Fun to drive, suspension on the RST Z71 is a little too sporty and tricky, causing the rear end to slide. That is my only complaint. Otherwise, a solid truck.

With the roll out of the Electric Hummer today, I can' help but feel this very well may be the last generation of GM trucks with internal combustion engines. The truck I buy from this generation will likely be my last car or truck that I buy if that is the case.

I 100% disagree... I don't think the internal combustion engine will ever go away and I'll never buy an electric car if I can help it..

The idiot governor of CA wants to outlaw the ICE by 2035.  Meanwhile their electric utility is responsible (faulty equipment) for millions of acres burned each year and every summer Californians are subject to rolling blackouts because PG&E can't produce enough electricity.  WTF is he smoking?

Agreed, I don’t understand the EV push, especially when America hasn’t built a power plant since 2016 before that it dates back to 1996. Your not going to be able to have a 35%+ EV auto market and expect it to not strain our power grid. Considering right now I think we’ee right around 3% EV.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
