Was at a GMC dealership yesterday. Was going to order the 2021GMC 2500 SLE crew 4X4 with cloth and bench seats. It was $49,500 for dealer pricing which I can get.  I couldn't decide so I came home and got on gmfamilyfirst.com, built a 2021 Chevrolet 2500 Crew 4X4, and can get the Texas or All Star editions with leather for $51,000 with bucket seats. I've always liked the GMC's appearance better but for close to the same price, I can get leather and bucket seats. Any input or pics of the Texas or All Star Editions???? THANKS

Only difference I believe in the Tx and allstar is the badging, they are otherwise equipped the same.  

That is my take as well from my building different combinations. Other than badging, they are the same, and they are just a package which combines the Convenience Package and Safety Package. These two packages are available for the GMC as well only they are called the SLE Convenience Package and the Driver Alert Package 1. The difference is that with the Chevy you can get the LT trim with the Leather Package while GMC makes you jump up to the SLT package to get leather. I am in the same boat as the OP where I am looking for a truck with remote start, and heated leather seats but I would really like to stay under $50K. The SLE/LT trim offer enough creature comfort and features to meet my needs other than that. Like the OP, I prefer the looks of the GMC so I'm either leaning toward the SLE package with aftermarket seat covers (i.e. katzkins) or the LT leather package.

And you're obligated to wear a cowboy hat while driving the Texas edition.  It's in the purchase agreement.

I don't have either of those packages. But I do have an LT with the leather option. It's very nice. If you're ordering either of these special editions, they may not include the Convenience 2 package. I saw a review of an All Star Edition on YouTube and he was lamenting some of the features it was missing because it didn't have the Convenience 2 package.

 

I have the Convenience 1 and 2 packages. The only options my truck DIDN'T come with that I wish it had (I didn't order it) are the bed camera and front/rear parking assist.

I was able to use the configurator to build crew cab Texas Edition in several colours.  (didn't try them all)

 

The order guide doesn't list colour restrictions for Texas or All Star editions.

 

I worked thru (using a PC) configurator steps in default order, selecting a colour before selecting the package. It did not switch it back to white.

Was able to jump back and change to other colours after -- and it didn't 'delete' the package.

Yes, you can.  My 2020 is gray, and has the allstar edition package.

Njmurvin, what all options does the Convenience 2 offer that the Texas or All Star do not? just want to make sure of what all I am getting and not getting on a truck over $50K. Never paid this much for a truck and just want to make completely sure of EVERYTHING before I order. I configured the 2500 LT with both convenience 1 and 2 packages. I added the 20" wheels and leather interior with bucket seats. Came in right at $50,500 because I'm leaning towards the white iridescent tri-coact pearl color.  Otherwise, it would be a little under $50K. THANKS

Thanks. So the 2 convenience packages and add 20” tires will give me the look and options iI need I believe. Going to add the bucket seats and leather. Will look almost like an LTZ i believe. Or close enough for my taste. I plan on keeping it 10 years or so, so wanna make sure it’s go all I want and really don’t want. Seems like it’s equipped about just right. Thanks Again

Not sure about 2021 models, but the 2020 LT did not have LED headlights/taillights if that's important to you.

When you get it configured they way that makes you happy, also price it the next trim level higher.

Eventually you 'wants' list will probably get to a point where it is cheaper to move up to the next trim level. 

Or the same price, but higher trim will add stuff you didn't want, for no extra money.

Are the pedals adjustable for spurs?

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
