 If you like your truck, that is all that matters. Another person's opinion is just that, their opinion. Like a******s, everyone has one. I'm sure plenty don't like the Sierra front end. I do, and again, that is all that matters. That being said... Whoever thought it was a good idea to put the Camaro front end on a HD pickup needs to find a new line of work. 🤣   I think the front end update is a big improvement

lol.  inspiration was a freight train apparently.  Ugliest front end on a truck in a long time.  It was ok when color matched grill and bumper.

Was hearing from multiple sources more info on the 2024 Silverado HD was supposed to be released Thursday or Friday.  Did I miss it or is it coming next week?

I like the front a lot and the fact it’s unique but with that said I like my front but not so much the custom one with the white bar that says Chevrolet. Mine is the WT so everything is black up front. And because it’s just the flat black painted bumpers it’s all flat black with the white paint. That along with the black fake hood scope and black wheel well guards and door handles and mirrors give it a good look. I like the spelled out Chevrolet.

I had a 21  Midnight edition LT trim.  It had a descent look much likes yours.  Like I said it has to be color match, if not its fugly.

I like the '20-'23 front end.  Reminds me a lot of the mid '60s Chevy.  The '24 may "grow" on me, but I currently don't think it looks a clean as the '20-'23.  It seems too busy and bulbous.

The 10 speed will be a welcome addition for those of us towing heavy weights.

 

Will I trade my '23 for a '24.  Probably not.  I'm considering going back to a Dodge with the Cummins.  The Chevy is OK for the 5th wheel, but not so good with livestock. It's just not enough truck for live loads, and the stupid SAE capacity sticker is causing me issues.

I wouldn't buy a Duramax or a Powerstroke.  Too expensive to maintain, and from what my buddies have to deal with, they don't seem as durable as the Cummins.

I just need a truck that starts, stops and hauls the load every time I turn the key, without drama.  As I typed that, it dawned on me that a Dodge is going to be that truck.

I had heard that as well, but additional info is limited.  The only thing Ive seen was  TFL video that quickly went over the High Country and High Country Midnight at the TX fair.  I gotta say the Midnight is sweet.  Cant wait to see the the new 24's with body color bumpers/front ends.

Found some interesting information of the 2023 Silverado 4500/5500/6500HD's.  Looks like those models will also have a short 2023 MY like the 2500/3500 HD's.  While 2023 MY production of the medium duty trucks is scheduled to start 01/03/2023, the final order date is scheduled for 12/02/2022.  Again like the 2500/3500's, the 2023 medium duty trucks were almost completely unchanged from the 2022's, perhaps we will see some updates for the 2024 MY.

Looking forward to when GM provides configuration & spec details on the new 2024 GMC & Chevy HDs that are at the lower trim levels. Would also like to see pricing and order start dates. My guess is that they do not want to disrupt/slow down orders on 2023s at this time.

The lower trim levels are not getting interior changes I heard but I also read the price is going up like 2k plus another 1,500 for mandatory on star.

My 22 was built July 11th and I picked it up 3 weeks later.  The 1500 Charge was an option believe that is the case for the23.  Read the 24 the cost will be built in.  So theoretically the same configured truck in 24 will cost you 2k more than a 23.  Crazy thing is with that 24 is that will probably cost about 7-9k more than a 22 before they added the onstar charge.

Yeah I’m sure they will be that much more. Not worth it for me. How did you find the exact build day for your truck? Mine was built in July too, at Flint.

Similar increases for RAM and Super Duty as well. Although people seem to be expecting at least a 10% increase from MY22 to MY23 for the Super Duty based on the F150 increases, so they could be looking at ~7-9k in just one model year. If GM is only 2k more for MY24, I'm going to be buying my first GM product.

    • Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?
    • I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions. 
    • I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that. 
    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
