Figured it was time to upgrade my '15 Denali 2500HD.  Not looking forward to the wait but I ordered a Denali 3500HD (6.6 gas SRW) with I'd say most options (damn chip shortage will hold this up I'm sure)

 

For you guys that already have bought '21 or '22 is there anything you wish you had added or something that you wish you didn't spend the money on?  I didn't add the Kicker stereo (still time to add) I'm just not sure if I'd use it much.  Only time I'd really want to use it would be when loading/unloading a trailer but you clearly cant open the gate all the way when I trailer is attached.

I have a 21' 2500 Chevy High Country now but my previous truck was a 20' 1500 AT4 with the kicker in the tailgate. The sound was awful on that thing and it would only be good for listening to podcasts. It would not sound good for music. Save your money and use a good Bluetooth speaker.

This is what I was thinking, that's for the reply.

Test drove AT4 and fell in love with the Duramax but not the AT4 look so I ordered another Denali with a Duramax 🤪

Nice! :thumbs:

Getting what you want provides the good possibility it will stick around longer than if you'd compromised.  Besides the Denali is an awesome truck. From the front end to the interior, it is pure class.

So you were able to transfer the order over to a Denali?

I ordered a Denali (6.6 gas) in August but an AT4 that someone ordered became available.  I put deposit on the AT4 thinking I might buy it (and gave me time to research some and decide if I really needed/wanted the Duramax).  Well after driving the AT4 with Duramax both the wife and I loved it but just didn't love the AT4 look vs the Denali.  I was able to also drive an SLT HD with the 6.6 gas today and I'm def. getting a Duramax although that 6.6 gas was pretty nice (much improved over the 6.0) So the dealer was fine with me ordering another Denali 3500 with the Duramax.......they will just sell the one I ordered back in August with the 6.6 gas and order me the same truck but with the L5P.  Sucks that I have to start the wait all over again but it will be worth it.

Well said.  I tend to keep my vehicles for a while and I would have been happy with that AT4 but I personally like the Denali look more so it's worth waiting for what I want.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.

      loose lug nuts

      By newdude · Posted

      Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Flynlow · Posted

      I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
