GM was listening cause it looks like a 12” screen is coming.  Super cruise. I really think we will see a really nice interior coming.  Here is also some more power updates  as well. 

Getting excited now!

Am I the only one that doesn't want a 12" screen?  Typically too much cabin light driving at night for one main reason

I find it interesting to read all the discussion and complaints about the interior finish.  This is my first truck and I've had four German SUV's since 2008.  The fit and finish and technology in my 2

I get it’s personal preference and I get that it’s easier to get in. But those side steps are so ugly on the HDs. That would officially make it so I wouldn’t upgrade to a 2022.

Good-bye column shifter.  

I didn’t see it either ? Maybe they just shortened it up ? Anything but that long old stick is a plus. Although if they put the shifter on the center console area , I won’t be happy since it takes up so much space. But I really think GM took the interior not being up to date to heart.

I bet they have the dash buttons like the Yukon/Tahoe.

IMO that would be terrible.

The leaks for both the Silverado and Sierra seem to show no column shift.  Keep in mind, it was camo inside but still, didn't seem like there was one.  

 

My guess is that the new interior with the large screen (12" ?) and pull button shifter will be on the higher trims at first, similar to RAM and their 12".  Lower trims will stick with the 8", similar to how the WT today only have the 7" now.  But who knows.  Eventually the 12" and pull button shifter will trickle down along with the 10-speed which is already making it's way down the line up.  Maybe they'll keep the column shifter for the WT only.

 

Or they do the 12" and with pull button shifter across the board sans the WT.

 

Pure guesses here.

I'm happy I have a 2019. 12" inch screen and no column shift is already making me question ever buying a new one. The nail in the coffin tho is the new global B architecture these supposedly have. Everything is encrypted and locked down and already all the reports from C8 and Tahoe/Yukon issues is making me never want to own a newer gen GM vehicle. Sounds like they will be a nightmare to even get something simple like speedo calibration done when getting a lift and bigger tires

Welcome to 2020 brother, and I mean that with no disrespect to you but pretty soon everyone will move to this . A lot of car manufactures are already doing this. 

On the screen sizes I'm confident GM will do the same thing as all others.  That's 12' ( or maybe 10") as an option and 8' standard . They just cannot afford to stay put given how competitive the market is right now .  Its exactly why you will also see a Adaptive Cruise option as well . Simply because Ford and Ram already have it . 

The column shifter I have mixed feeling about . The current one is way too long and looks out of place . They needed to do something about it IMO. I was hoping they would have just shortened it up by 3-4 inches like MBZ does. But At the same time though I'm sure going to a similar set up like their SUV's  will be more cost efficient somehow. Having that large stick protrude out and cover a little big of the HVAC vents is just too old school. 

I know there is a few people on here who absolutely love their 2019-2020 interiors and that's ok , nothing wrong with that. 

You have to believe though GM heard all the gripes from editors/magazines/internet and even some of their owners that the interior was just lacking .  

GM overall sales are still very good but at the same time Chevy Silverado sales directly compared to Ram have been very close. In some quarters the Ram actually beating Silverado . Now we know when you add both the GM twins they beat Ram and sometimes even Ford but I think the direct comparison sales between the Silverado and Ram really got Gm's attention. 

This has never even happened to Silverado sales in their history and so this is why I personally believe the 2022 Twins will  be a game changer. I also have a feeling too GM will also up their Tow rating to around 14,100 just to out due Ford

( yes its completely asinine to tow that much in a Half ton , but I'm just sayin" ) 

They make too much of a profit on trucks to let them sit idle for too long.

Maybe we will finally be able to turn it down/off independent of the dash-gauge backlighting.

Good point , my cousins 2019 F150 is same way ..You cannot dim the Navigation screen ..So odd. but yeah hoping they make a option to also turn the screen down . ( seems like an easy no brainer right ?)

I would love a 12 foot screen .... or even the 8 foot - but not sure there is enough room inside the cabin for that :)

I hope the manufacturers come to some kind of gentleman’s agreement on half ton towing ratings...stuff is getting out of hand and I don’t want the ride and fuel economy to needlessly suffer anymore.
 

My ‘19 is already rated higher than my old Cummins Ram. But I didn’t buy it to tow 12k.

Every been in a garage with the lights on and tried to look at something in the dark outside? 

Turn off the garage lights, the eyes adjust some, and the visibility outside the garage improves. 

 

Same problem with dash and radio that is too bright.

 

Eyes adjust to the the inside level and that makes the headlights seem worse than they are.

Especially as the eyes get a little older. 

 

Back in the day, the dash didn't have many light sources,  they weren't near as bright...and most of them could be turned completely off.

Hopefully the infotainment and cluster are OLED. That would mitigate any brightness concerns since the black background segments would be shut completely off. Kinda looks like it could be in the pics. Just not sure the cost is down enough for them to accomplish that. OLED televisions are still about 3-4x the cost.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      If you have actually done it, there must be some secret tool or method of accessing the hidden bolt head that both manifold connections have. Two of the three bolt heads are staring at you in the face from below but the third one is covered by shielding and as far as I know only accessed by removing part of the fender well lining to gain access to it and even then its awful to access or from what I had seen of someone fighting with it on a video.    There is a reason why even mechanics that deal with the awkward or risky business of undoing the exhaust at the manifolds have done the same method others are doing with these L8T by flexing the exhaust if need be or just able to slip the pan out as I did without needing to touch hardware or pry on the exhaust. By rights the two seals should be replace when those joints are cracked loose as well.

      Actually it was a lot more controlled then I thought it might be and that isn't actually when I spilled some oil. I had thought prior of rounding up a couple of longer bolts with the same thread to swap out for a couple of the front edge pan bolts and then leaving one bolt left in the back but loosened off and then using a suction device to remove most of the fluid, that certainly would have worked and while I do have a couple of different devices I could have used to suck the fluid, now having done the job once I wouldn't even bother. I had thought of buying one of those pressurized vessels to suck or new fluid in and would if I was doing a job like this on a few vehicles but with one vehicle I just didn't bother and I have pail pumps as well I could have used assuming the hose end would fit into that less than roomy space but being such a thin fluid it pumped well with a quart type pump and just kept the hose into the trans and kept swapping containers and repeat.    What I would change to the method I did though was first jack up just the rear of the truck to put on jack stands to allow more oil to come out of the check plug on the front of the pan ( and as I did, I made sure to put that drain plug back in finger tight ) then follow through by putting the front on jack stands. Also that I would have used a larger sized drain pan in the sense of covering an area wider/longer beyond the transmission but I didn't have one and saw someone else on a youtube video using a masonry mud mixing tub and bought one at a hardware store to use in the future. The main oopsy  I did and why I spilled some oil was all my fault as I neglected to follow my own plan, I should have let down the pan as I did to drain out the front of it as much as would come out but then scooped out the remainder of the oil with the Dixie cup I had sitting there just for that purpose as by that point there is enough room to reach right into the front of the pan and just bail it out basically.

      Pretty easy to just remove/drop the exhaust behind the manifolds. They're in no way hard to get to. Maybe 5min of work, and you get the opportunity to put some anti-sieze on them in case anything ever comes up, you eliminated the risk of snapping a stud.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      I let the dealer do every other oil change simply so they can rotate the tires, which is a pita at home.

      I addition, I won't have a pan full of fluid sloshing around to get all over the place.   I am putting on the Dorman pan with the drain plug. It looks like it is around the same height. I have one of these guys to make life a lot easier.   https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CDXJCCT?ref=fed_asin_title&th=1
