So I have a '19 RST with the 5.3 and I have had no issues with the truck and love it. However the new interior has me wanting to upgrade to the refreshed model. I got my truck before the market went crazy so I only owe $23k and have been offered $44k for a trade-in. Do you think it would be a worth-while deal to get the refresh model and move into a 3.0 vs the 5.3?  It has me very tempted but I am not 100% sure if I should or not.

I am. The dealer offered me 7,000 above what I paid for my 2021 6.2 trail boss, so I ordered a 2022 ZR2 silverado on 12-17-21.  My salesman just informed me yesterday that the truck was built and awat

Ever hear the Tulip Wars? Buying when not absolutely necessary in this market...well.....if you like giving money away give it away my way. 😉

I have a '19 RST 5.3 (no problems) and have a '22 refresh Z71 5.3 in Glacier Blue on order.  Excited to get it.

Are you guys trading your old trucks in? If so are they offering good money for them?

I’m waiting for GM to do more than just interior. Need to upgrade powertrain. Kudos to those that want to upgrade but if “WE” as consumers want vehicle prices to “go down” we must not demand them!  I’m waiting 2 years at least. Hopefully something more than just interior is offered.

I get that, I usually wouldn't be looking for at least 5-8 years after getting a new truck. But with having so much positive equity due to the used car market I am thinking about taking advantage of it while I can.

I would just because of the 3.0

But if you could find a cheaper 3.0 than the newest one on the lot then I would do that instead tbh

I absolutly love the new interior. i think GM hit a huge home run there but man i just wish we had a little power bump. And yes i know the 5.3 and 6.2 are plenty enough ( heck Grumpy thinks his 4.3 is a Twin Turbo AMG) but disappointed to see almosdt 10 years later we are still same output.  Having said that . I'm sure i will get a new refresh .

I can see your point. I am in the same boat. I have lots of equity in my HC but for GM to bring that bad@ss interior and not pump up the HP/TQ of both their V8s is head scratching and disappointing. 
 

You also have to consider they are giving you more for yours but they are also charging out the @ss for these new trucks. So you get more for yours and pay more for a new one. It’s your money brother, if you get one congrats, but the interior alone right now won’t sway me away from 

my 2019 with only 35k miles on it.    
 

Good luck with your decision.  It’s a tough one no doubt.

Totally and the only reason I’m considering trading up is to get the 3.0 and some other options I skipped out on when I got my ‘19. I’m going to price one out to be built and see what the difference ends up being.

My 2019 was a lease.  I'm not turning it in as a lease.  The dealer is buying it.  After the lease is paid I'm making money.  The "good old price days" 8K-10K off MSRP are gone no matter how long you wait.  Every year the MSRP will go up.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
