ok my truck is about to come on the lot, I got the window sticker and I see there is few options missing 

CREDIT - NOT EQUIPPED WITH FRONT & REAR PARK ASSIST; INCLUDES LATER RETROFIT

 

CREDIT - NOT EQUIPPED W/FRONT SEAT CUSHION VENTILATION (INCLUDES LATER RETROFIT)

 

CREDIT - NOT EQUIPPED WITH STEERING COLUMN LOCK

for those of you that got your trucks with missing options how long gm took to install the microchip to make those options functional?

Great...more for you to keep bitching about.....

Steering column lock won’t be retrofitted.

 

There is no information about when retrofits for the other items will happen, probably next year sometime. 
 

BTW, you call them options, they aren’t.

It's the chip shortage thingy my new ZL1 came in but only needed the heated steering wheel s a later retrofit so I am lucky I guess as where I live it won't ever see winter weather anyway,

Man, I understand that sometimes you just have to do what you gotta do, but I just can’t see myself paying for or accepting a partially built vehicle.  Especially not at the level of dollars these trucks cost.  I feel for ya.  I am so glad I went ahead and got my ‘21 instead of waiting like I contemplated.  Hopefully this crap will be sorted out before I need a new vehicle.

So you get a Credit , WHO payes for the Retrofit ????   BUY a Trucks with all the Parts .

The credit is a "we're sorry" deal. You don't pay for the retrofit. GM will notify you when they have the parts to install. The lower trim level trucks are the ones they're keeping the parts out of. All the Denali's and AT4X's have all their parts. GMC is now even out of parts for the multi pro tailgates! I thought that was their selling point was it was standard on all GMC's but there's a couple at my local dealer that are Elevation trim and have a credit for no Multi Pro tailgate, which CAN'T be retrofitted later!

there is 3 2023 trucks on the lot loaded and no option missing, everything is functional .

 

So cancel your order and go buy one of those off the lot. 😉

Credit is for the inconvenience of taking it back so they can do the retrofit.

There is no published promise of when this might happen.

front and rear sensors 
 

First thing I disabled. I need my truck acting on it’s own like I need another insurance policy. No thanks. I’ll pay attention when I pilot 2.5 tons through public spaces at rapid speed. I even love the cover craft dash mat that covers that stupid hud red light and also eliminating the ridiculously unsafe amount of dash reflection and glare off windshield these trucks give. Wouldn’t sweat these sensors much, sounds like a bonus miss to me. 
 

get reliant on this shizzo and it will cost you, there’s a reason the seats vibe now when you back up and those sensors go off, before it was only beepers and if you had stereo too loud and just watched one mirror backing in you could get screwed, and welcome to my last accident in past however long without...never again, use all mirrors and back up camera, the sensors can go fack themselves, he liability is on you so best limit your reliance on those aids

 

heck even the factory drivers side mirror on my custom came with the built in convex but framed in, two instances where that frame had a gap that a vehicle could hide in and the convex wouldn’t show parking stall lines well, so ordered the non convex mirror and put my own 3” convex on like I do all vehicles and no more issues for both seeing people or lines. On nee flat mirror the top outside corner is where that car symbol lights up on higher trims to say don’t move lanes lol...the 3” convex covers it perfectly lol. I love how we always try to make things better and fack it up lol, but hey $2.50 at auto parts store can’t possibly be as good as the sensors and lights right?😉

    • Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.
    • This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.  
    • 2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.  
    • Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
