hahah, was just gonna say its our garbage dollar.

 

Drove them both today. Both drove pretty great. I think the Sierra was just more smooth if that makes sense.

 

Found another one more local and in black - only extended cab but might fit the bill also.  I am sure it is still fairly room huh?

 

Thanks all for the comments so far.

Double cabs are fine in the back for little kids. But even 10 year olds were uncomfortable in mine, and forget adults on a long trip. I had to go crew cab and I’ll never go back.

Extended cabs are rarely comfortable.
When the kids are little they are in car seats, and they don't fit well in the back, and by the time they get out of the car seats it's only a few years before they are too big. And forget about an adult riding back there for any length of time.....
But if it's just 2 of you up front and are using the back seat for storage, then it's great.

Not that it really matters but a 5.3 Custom TB will have the 6 speed, not the 8. Vibration might just be the AFM. Those trucks are still using the old cylinder deactivation program. And they are pretty rough in comparison to the DFM.


You are correct. I just looked at GM's website. My bad. Thanks for clearing that up.

further question - can a fella just put on a different muffler or do we need to do cat backs?

i went from dbl cab, to crew cab and back to dbl cab......i dont haul anyone so it works perfect for me and std bed is a must.....if people are gonna be riding in back get the crew cab (also will help on resale).....no way can anyone sit back there for any length of time.....just extra storage for me

Cannot agree more on the 10 speed. I have the 10 speed paired with the 5.3 and no complaints.

 

Already 9500 miles on my 2020 and no issues.

GMC went cheap on the Elevation with the incandescent taillights and turn signals, vs. the LEDs on ALL other GMC models. At least you get LEDs for taillights on the RST. 

 

I've had an RST for 2 years to the date. I love the look of it. However, I'm sold on getting an AT4 for my next truck - probably a 2022 model. I've just really grown to the GMC look. I loved the aggressive styling of the Chevy when these T1s first came out. I still do, but I just think the AT4 is the best looking truck GM makes. The Elevation is a close second. 

 

But yeah, getting the 10-speed over the 8-speed is a way better trade off than getting LED taillights. 

 

And to answer your question, yes, you can just replace the muffler on these trucks easily. A lot of guys here have done that. I did the full GM catback and LOVE it, but it was $pendy.

i didnt even notice that so i guess its not important to me lol.

 

Now i need to decide on color. White as shown or i can get satin steel, cardinal red or pacific blue.  The red is nice actually.  Any thoughts?

I have Satin Steel. I think it looks EXCELLENT in the RST trim with the OEM 20" wheels. It's a very dynamic color - changing a lot in shade and direct light. 

 

But I believe I'm going to go with white when I get a new truck in the AT4 trim. I still love SS, but I think the AT4s look great in white.

Pacific Blue was my first choice, and I almost purchased an AT4 last April in Pacific Blue but the salesman rubbed me the wrong way.  I'm kicking myself on that one.

 

In any case, I have a '21 RST in Satin Steel.  Very nice color in the sun.  But again, this was my second choice, I'd rather have the Cherry Red Tintcoat.  Having said that, aside from the brown, it looks good in any color.

    • Hi All, I operate my 2021 3500 SLT most of the time with the tailgate off and in a crate because I have a slide-in camper. However, at least once a year, I take the camper off and put the tailgate back on. Recently I installed the tailgate, but had a hard time getting the connector bail to swing to the fully latched position. The connector seems to fully seat, and everything works, but the bail doesn’t swing to fully latched position.  It swings almost there but stops and I am afraid to push it any harder.    Does anyone have any advice on cleaning or lubrication or anything else I should be doing?  i know how to properly operate the connector. During the time the tailgate and connector are off, i have a double plastic bag over the truck connector secured with rubber bands to keep it clean, but it still had some dust in it this time when I blew it out with compressed air. I didn’t want to spray it with anything other than air without doing some research. Thanks.

    • Hello @jaszr2 Do you have a link for the item? I put a replacement bumper on my truck and consequently had to relocate the shutters. I studied on them a while, and figured if you left a couple key blades, you could get most of the airflow with probably no throwing codes.  
    • In the 6.6 gas thread, I added information in my fluid change thread about these gauges and temperatures. With very limited data, it so far looks like ~30 degrees difference between front and rear.
    • I know; crap pictures.   Anyway, as a finale of sorts to this thread, I had replaced both differential covers and since they had the capability of adding temperature probes, I did that. These are MaxTow analog/digital gauges with stepper motors. They'll flutter around like crazy for a moment and start at a nominal 100 degrees Fahrenheit.   I drove a 30-mile loop to the grocery store, averaging 70 MPH (as much as 80 to see if there was a quick spike in temperature. The air temperature is 102 (ambient ?). but the first pic is 7 miles into the trip. The second is getting back into the truck after leaving the store; differential temperatures dropped about three to four degrees in 15 minutes. The third pic in on the road to my house, about a mile away.   In that run, I saw a high of 150F on the rear differential, and 121F on the front. I'm sure a longer drive or towing will see higher than that, and when that happens, I can update the observations.
