I picked this up a couple weeks ago. A long time friend is a GM at a local GMC Dealer. It was not even on the lot yet. I basically bought it out of the pipeline. It was a little stressful not seeing the color in person on any GM trucks since it is new for 2022. It showed up and I loved it!! My last 10 or so trucks have been all Black, Silver, Grey or White, so this is a welcome change., It is a 6.6 gasser. I traded my 2021 Silverado 2500HD Custom that I bought at the beginning of May. It only had 5,100 miles, but I was offered a good amount over what I paid for it on a trade towards this one. Love the color and I swapped my Running Boards and my Fuel Wheels with 35x12.5x20 tires over from the other truck.

Beautiful truck!  I have a 2021 GMC 2500 HD Denali.  I paid $77K for it (it had an $81K MSRP).  Last week, a dealer offered me $73K for it.  I'd like to trade, but since there is a shortage of 2022 models, I think I'll just keep what I got.

Very nice, what are the specs on the wheels/tires and are you on 100% stock suspension? Do you have any rubbing or have you done any trimming?

Never been a "green" car guy.  I do really like that color on your truck though.

That is a nice looking AT4!

I was looking at my local dealer at the same thing in white, and they wanted a $10k market adjustment on top of sticker, so I passed, and moved on to a Chevy High Country. Too bad, I really like the AT4 trucks!

Nice truck. Can you take pictures of your truck in the sun, I would really like to see the color in the sun.  I am torn between this color and Pacific blue metallic. Thanks.

Nice to see one. My bud has a Silverado HD ordered in that color. We saw a new one in a parking lot and while looking at it the owner came up and he said a lot of people have been checking it out because hardly anyone has seen it in person. My bud wanted something different and I put the bug in his head just messing around until it ate him enough he switched from black 😂

    • I had an 88 K1500 with a 5.7 that had those symptoms, I know totally different, it ended up being the ECM. Once you get the fuel system fixed if it still runs lousy you may want to investigate that. it didn't set any codes, stalled ,ran rough at times etc
    • Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-
    • Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.     
    • I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
