Placing an order on a 2021 or 2022 Silverado 2500 HD LT

heres what I am planning on:

duramax/Allison

4x4

crew cab, reg bed 

Z71 sport pkg

all star pkg

convenience pkg

safety pkg

gooseneck pkg

cab lights

upfitter switches

off road step

z71 off road pkg

 

anything you think I’m missing. I just wanted to make sure I get power fold mirrors and the tow cameras. 
 

what are some other must haves?

Have you sat in the seats? I don’t remember which seats the LT has but the base seats with the center jump seat are horrible in my opinion and I could tell that almost immediately, whereas the buckets in the upper packages are very comfortable. Make sure you sit in the seats you are ordering.

I have the leather package on my LT and I love it and I believe it automatically includes the seat storage cubbies in the back with the fold down cup holder arm rest (in case you don't get that with your other options). I happen to like the fold down center jump seat. I store my 5th wheel up against a driver side block wall. So, I have to slide over and exit through the passenger door occasionally. A center console would make that a real PITA.

 

Also, there's an option (I forget what it's called) that gives you an AUTO option in addition to 4hi, 4lo and 2hi.  It came on my truck and I think it only added around $200 to the price. Residing in So Calif, I haven't had the occasion to use it yet. But, it seems like it might come in handy if you're in mixed weather conditions.

I get the desirability of the jump seat. I ordered it in my Yukon when our kids were younger. I just wanted to make sure the OP recognizes that there are big differences in the seat options and one configuration might be uncomfortable for him. I found the base seating (which happens to have a jump seat in the middle) uncomfortable before I even got off the lot on my test drive. It wasn’t the jump seat that was objectionable, it was the driver seat itself. My point was one should sit in the seats for a while before ordering or buying.

As others have said, Autotrac® 2-speed transfer case with push button controls ~ $200

Do you really want to spend $1000 on the offroad steps? IMO there are many other options available for less OR go with the AMP powerstep for a little bit more. 

 

Just my few cents.

I've built a similar 2500 LT package as well. What kind of price are they giving you? I got to use the Friends and Family and am curious as to how much it truly saves? THANKS

Great feedback. I did remove the steps. Have the auto transfer case selected and have the snow plow prep added for possible resale. 
 

I understand the seats are different with a bench bar console. We have 4 kids so the bench is must. I’m ok with that. 
 

Excited to get this thing ordered. Hopefully it’s close to the 12 week wait mentioned.

I ordered a '21 GMC 3500hd on March 27th.   My dealer has allocation and I do get a GM employee discount.  I hadn't receive a TPW (target production week) right up to the day that GM changed their build out date for 21's so I changed to a '22 since it would end up at that anyway.  It is now October 1st and my order has still not been officially accepted by GM.  My order had a preliminary order accepted code 1100 on April 7th and has not moved yet.   Very frustrating.

Damn....that's a long time to wait.  I ordered a 3500HD Denali 8/25 but might end up buying something else vs waiting who knows how long.

Update!  My truck was finally built on 12/11/21 and shipped to the dealer on 1/6/22.  Took delivery on 1/7/22.  It didn't have the heated and ventilated seats or the heated steering wheel but will be retrofitted when the parts are available.

Did they tell you that the steering wheel would be retro fitted?  I heard the seats were, not the steering wheel.

 

I am still waiting on mine. 

 

Ordered first week of June.  Built week of 11/15.  Still sitting in Flint.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      If everything checks out at the MAF, then the MAF is BAD, new or not.   You don't need a signal generator to troubleshoot this. PCM needs ALL powers and ALL grounds able to light a halogen headlight bulb - if it can light the bulb bright, then the wiring is good enough to run the PCM.   Best thing you can do for yourself is spend some time here: scannerdanner.com - Check out all his YouTube videos on similar issues. If you decide to subscribe it's the best bang-for-buck ratio in the automotive world, hands-down. He's got TONS of free vids on YouTube, too.

      Yes, I used my multimeter to probe all of the wires at the MAF, both with the sensor connected, sensor disconnected, key on engine off, key on engine running, etc etc etc. I probed all of the wires again at the PCM, at the connectors, etc. All voltages are what they should be according to the service manual/wiring diagrams. All grounds are good, less than 20 millivolts from the battery negative under load. Both at the connector of the MAF, at the PCM connector etc.      I know this throws a pretty big wrench into things, but this truck was acting up before the swap. I don't have very much information, if any on what was causing it, but if you cleared all of the dtcs it would do the same thing where it would crank, fire, then die. And it would do the same thing a dozen or so times, and eventually it would start and run, but the difference is that it would run and actually be drivable. Whereas now if you can drive it at all, it goes into reduced power mode almost immediately, and even then it's not running correctly. When you come to a stop at a light it stumbles down to for 500 RPM before catching itself and returning to the smooth idle. And if you go more than about 50% throttle then it immediately goes back to doing the misfire thing.    Like I said, I know that throws a wrench into things, and unfortunately I was not able to pull any data or anything like that before I did this work, so I don't have much to go on.    I'm trying to not fixate on one particular thing as the cause of the problem, but it seems like all avenues are pointing me towards the PCM. Like I said I have tested the wiring extensively (see above), and during cranking the sensor does produce seemingly legitimate values at least according to my multimeter, but as soon as the engine fires those values quickly descend into gibberish. I've tried it with multiple different known working sensors, I have done literally every test I can think of multiple times on the wiring (probing the signals, probing the pins with the sensors unplugged, probing the pins at the PCM, voltage drop, voltage drop under load, continuity, ohms, and double-checking everything against the wiring diagrams/ proper values in the service data.)    Another thing that pushes me towards a possible PCM failure is, I have noticed in troubleshooting a little bit taking a break and coming back, that when I leave the truck to sit for a while and cool off, it starts and runs smoothly when I first start it up. However once it warms up. It starts having problems. For example, when I went out to the truck this morning after it had been sitting overnight, I was actually able to drive it down the block. And then once I got on the throttle a Little bit after going about a thousand ft, it started misfiring again. I pulled it back into the driveway, shut it down, and started it back up. It idled smoothly. As soon as I touched the throttle it did the misfire thing again. From then on as soon as I started it it would misfire. I shut the truck off and went to go get a coffee and do a bit more research. When I came back out I started the truck up and it immediately went into the smooth idle. After a couple of minutes of playing around with it, it would not idle smoothly anymore. Let it sit a couple of hours, rinse and repeat. This makes me think with temperature change something is going wrong inside the PCM. I have the PCM out of the 2007 donor vehicle and I'm thinking of getting a one-day subscription to the ACDelco programming service to try and program that and see if it helps.   Like I said, I'm really trying to not fixate myself on one potential cause, but it seems everything is pointing me towards PCM failure. I would really like to try to confirm that, but unfortunately I don't have an oscilloscope or a signal generator to do the GM service procedure where you feed 5 khz into the signal pin.

      Ahh, sorry about that - I got some bad info. Newdude is correct. That's what I get for working 13 hours straight ... on my "vacation", lol.   Should've checked the files I had instead of the internet.   Anyway ... this is GREAT news, since this would've been an absolute friggin nightmare to get working.   I don't think the lack of VVT is causing this - you've got another issue. Wiring, I'm betting.   I'm telling you right now, your computer isn't bad. If it worked before the swap, it's working now. You need to do some more (better) diagnostics and figure out exactly what you're missing. Did you test every wire directly at the MAF? Have 5V reference? Ground? If you're reading ZERO g/s, your Hz isn't much use - it's going to be the wrong value anyway. The MAF is not working, and you need to find out WHY.   I got this off the net, so VERIFY first: Pin A: Black (BLK) wire, Circuit 552, serves as the Sensor Return (Ground).  Pin B: Tan (TAN) wire, Circuit 472, carries the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) signal.  Pin C: Yellow (YEL) wire, Circuit 492, is the primary MAF Sensor Signal output to the PCM. Pin D: Pink (PNK) wire, Circuit 339 or 539, provides Ignition 1 Voltage (Power).  Pin E: Tan/Black wire, Circuit 552 or similar, often associated with the Intake Air Temperature ground or signal return.  Global-A list: https://postimg.cc/KKJnQC85

      Correct....the end user can't reach to Realtruck directly like they can if they purchase a Bak, Undercover, etc...  It has to go through a dealer.
