Cheap insurance to me no matter what you buy is more frequent oil changes. My 2 cents.

HAHAHAHA!!! Yeah typical ignorant salesperson will say anything in order to move inventory. The 10 speed tranny is the best out there, hands down. If you can get it, do it! But if you don't need every

LT or RST would better suit your daily driver and family hauling aspect vs. the Custom Trail Boss.    I wouldn't rule out the diesel.  Don't let the oil pump belt scare you.  If it were me s

no height adjustment on the drivers seat.  I read an article that someone said that the manual seats have the driver sitting in a hole.     

That  "driver" probably weighed 350+ lbs. ?

Normal people will find no issue with seat height.

 I  wonder when it was born,

Judging by the last 6 digits of the vin, sometime in Dec is my guess.  Mine was made same plant later Oct and it 139xxx.  I was told that its on constraint (10-sp) so its limited to 6.2L or 3.0Lengines and those are also on constraint. Caveat; that's per sales manager at local dealer who does all  the ordering.

I have an elevation 5.3/10spd and love it. Just did a 750 mile ski trip to Maine. Other than the sliding window starting to leak, the truck never missed a beat. Drove through a snow storm, put it in terrain and Auto and kept on rolling. Averaged 17mph with 60% back roads 40% highway. I ran it pretty hard too....passed a lot of cars lol.

Currently, the only way to get the 10 speed in an LT or an Elevation is with the 3.0.  

 

Currently, lowest trim with 5.3L 10 speed combo is the 4wd SLT. 

5.3L 10 speed isn't currently offered in silverado, and is currently discontinued on lower trim sierra's.

 

all 3.0's have the 10 speed -- LT, RST, LTZ, HC, SLE, Elevation, SLT, AT4, Denali 

all 6.2's get the 10 speed (also all 6.2's are 4wd) --   CustomTB,  RST,  LTTB,  LTZ,  HC,   SLT,  AT4,  Denali  

 

 

 

Or an LT Trail Boss. I have the 2020 5.3 L84 V8 with the 10 speed tranny, 2 speed rear end. Love it! Purchased in March 2020. Sticker, $54,500, paid $44,000 + tax, title etc.

I have a 21' LT with the 3.0. Love it to death. Don't let diesel prices or DEF scare you away. Maintenance is same as Gas for the most part. Maybe a few extra things, but nothing crazy. Love the pickup of it, and it warms up real fast, within a few miles. I got a steal on mine, sticker price was $55.5k and I got it for $42.5+tax and title. That's almost 25% off sticker price.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
