I placed an order for a 2022 Sierra 1500 AT4 yesterday afternoon. I made a reservation and the dealer called to let me know it was time to build my truck! 

 

I have a 2021 Denali Duramax now and downsizing because theres no need for the HD grocery getter anymore. All I pull now is a small travel trailer and my 2 21 ft Bass & Bay boats. Sad to see it go but on the bright side, I'll lower my payment, insurance, fuel cost, maintenance, ect. I'm kinda looking forward to not driving a school bus around anymore as well. 1 day down, 3 months or so to go is what I was told it would take to get here.

That engine selection is curious.  I assumed you would've gone with the babymax.  Don't get me wrong.  I love the 6.2 in my truck, but I thought you were trying to lower your fuel bill, not raise it.

Sure it gets better fuel mileage but I've had a Duramax for 7 years now and I wanted to get away from all the emissions related issues and problems that come with a diesel. Trust me, don't buy a diesel for it's reliability nowadays. I'll probably never own another one to be honest. Heck, my truck now only gets like 11.6 mpg. This means I can have the same mileage and rip around and have fun driving something! Lol

I spent my first 20 years driving 1ton and 3/4 ton mostly diesel trucks. In my family business I did most of the the equipment moving. I couldn’t do as much modifications as my brothers because of the weight I pulled. And believe me the diesels were real dogs for get up and go. When we sold that part of the business I bought a 99 Ford 1/2 ton xlt sport 5 speed truck. The I put a s/c on it. I beat the sh$t out of it. 20 years of 0-60 frustration. You couldn’t pay me to drive a diesel or a 3/4 ton truck unless I could make money with it. There get up and go is better the pollution devices have cut the reliability. As for fuel mileage. Unless you live on the highway. The combo fuel mileage isn’t that great.

I can see your perspective.  Don't be surprised if Raptors try to race you at every light, lol.

Your duramax experience has been different than mine.

 

However, drive what you want. 

They offer multiple drivetrains and multiple load/tow capacities because everyones wants/needs are not the same.

Looking good! Post pics when it gets here! I like the new front grill, and dashboard. I saw they said the new 2022 refresh will have better seats?/ But in every review they look identical to my 2021. 

I want softer nicer seats so I would consider a 2022 but I love this new 3.0. But Google is the deal breaker fo me. I hope that changes. 

I agree, if your not working a 2500 Duramax its a really a chore sometimes. This 1500 babymax has fit me perfectly. I have no need to go back to a 2500 probably ever again.

Dealer just called and told me we're at event code 3800 now with No ETA yet.

 

**Vehicle has been produced.**

 

My 2022 AT4 Refresh order progression thus far.
-1100 on 1/14 
-2000 on 3/1 
-3000 on 3/6
-3400 3/10 with a TPW of 3/21/21
-3800 on 3/28 with no ETA yet

 

They are honoring my build MSRP at the time of submission. I hope they don't try and pull a fast one on the trade now though.

That's to be expected nowadays, I ordered my new F-150 in January and was told June or July. We have people waiting for more than 10 months. The more chips, the more delay. Some are left at the factory waiting for chips. Seat coolers, rear seat heaters, sunroof control, DFM management, the list goes on. I was told G.M. is doing a better job of it though.

Got word today that the vehicle is on a ship heading across the Gulf of Mexico. It'll end up in Port Everglades just north of Miami. My salesman said I should have it before the end of the month. 

 

I had no clue that they were loaded on a ships. I assumed everything was via rail and sent north. 

 

Event code 4200 as of 4/6

 

It'll probably end up in this lot in the near future.

Still waiting... 

 

Had an ETA of 4/27 but GM held the Refresh trucks a couple weeks in order to move all their 22 Limited models that were retrofitted at the factories. 

 

New ETA is 5/9 (today) but I'm not holding my breath.

      I hope to high heaven this is wrong. My Chevy farm trucks frame is lasting way longer than a newer Nissan Titan XD I got for a steal, and it only pulls trailers. A decade younger and it's frame is already way rustier than the waxed Chevy I drive across longs and ditches. Also, hasn't Ford been having tones of troubles with rusted frames?

      Batteries don’t always show signs of a few years ago my vehicle started fine in the morning and took me to work. After work the battery was completely dead and I needed a jump. No, I didn’t leave anything on and the battery was only a couple months old. It was replaced under warranty.

      AFM is confirmed in the Corvette engine, so I'm assuming the higher volume trucks will get it as well

      If his battery was that bad I would think it would have been showing signs before this that were ignored. Stinks that it happened the way it did in rush hour traffic, but this seems like a pretty fringe scenario. I don't mind it that bad and never turn it off. The only slight annoyance for me is the slight delay between brake to gas, but I have gotten used to it and figure if it can save a little gas why not.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a good correction. I think “severity” was probably the wrong word for what I meant. What I really mean is closer to event priority, relevance, and actionability — not “this code is severe” or “replace this part.” I agree that a truck can have a lot of trivial or historical communication codes, and if the product starts pushing alerts for every stored or low-value event, people will ignore it very quickly. So the alert logic would need to be filtered. For example, I would not want a random old communication code to generate a push notification by itself. A useful alert would probably need to be based on things like: - new vs historical - active vs stored - repeated vs one-time - duration of the event - whether it happened near the driver-marked symptom - whether it happened together with voltage drop, reset, bus-off, misfire, oil-pressure change, etc. - whether the same pattern repeats under similar conditions So instead of saying “severity,” maybe the product should organize events by affected system and priority. For example: Misfire event: Show misfire counts / roughness first, then fuel trims, RPM/load, DFM/AFM state if available, coolant/oil temp, voltage, and related DTCs. Oil-pressure event: Show oil pressure first, but only in context — RPM, load, oil temperature, coolant temperature, DFM/AFM state if available, voltage, and baseline comparison. Communication event: Show which module/network/message dropped, whether voltage dropped, whether the recorder reset, whether it was active or historical, and whether it repeated. Voltage/reset event: Show battery voltage, crank/wake/sleep state, module reset, communication dropouts, and what came back online first. That also solves the display-order problem you mentioned. The main report should not always show the same fixed list first. It should show the system that appears abnormal first, and then the supporting values for that system. I also agree that the truck already has an oil pressure gauge and MIL. The point would not be to duplicate those. The value would be in showing what else was happening before and after the warning or symptom. For example, if the MIL comes on for a misfire, the truck already told the driver there is a problem. The useful part would be: - which cylinder or bank looked abnormal first - whether it happened after an AFM/DFM transition - whether fuel trims were already moving - whether oil pressure or voltage changed at the same time - whether the same pattern happened previously without a MIL On the OBD port point, I think you may be right for a consumer-facing version. OBD is much easier for the average owner: - easier install - easier removal - inside the cabin - easier phone connection - easier data download - easier to include a pass-through port for another scanner OBD is also the right place for DTCs, freeze frame, VIN, calibration information, Mode 6, and normal scan-tool parameters. The reason I was looking at ECM-side recording is that some events may be gone by the time someone plugs in a scanner, and some powertrain-side network evidence may not be available the same way through the DLC. But I agree that if an OBD-based version can capture enough useful evidence for most owners, that is probably the cleaner consumer product. Maybe the split is: - OBD/DLC version for most consumers - ECM-side version only if it proves it adds evidence that the OBD version cannot get - shop/pro version if deeper powertrain-side event evidence is actually useful So I would not want to force the inline approach if the OBD workflow solves most of the real-world problem. Your last point is probably the key product requirement: the report should be specific to the system showing the abnormality. Not “here are 50 parameters.” More like: “Misfire-related event detected. Here are the misfire/fuel/DFM/context values.” or “Oil-pressure-related event detected. Here is oil pressure compared with RPM/load/temp/baseline.” or “Communication event detected. Here is what dropped, when, and whether voltage/reset happened first.” That is a much better way to think about the report.
