The 2022 trucks have been dropped and the 2024 is an option now but the configurator is still not live.  Guessing it will go live very soon.

it's not in the upcoming portion of the chevrolet website anyone.

 

take my moneyyyyyy!!

Yep, my dealer called me and said it was up for GMC, but it's not complete I don't think Stuff missing - only 2 trim levels? No Denali?

 My money says their half-assing it just to get something online. That's pretty much all they've been doing for the last 2 years anyway, the new normal.

 

 Michelin Dining prices, Dollar Store service.

It’s not just vehicle manufacturers. Customer service, if they even have enough employees for service, is down in every field. Covid flu changed everything and it’s just to damn lucrative to go back now. 
so yeah, the new normal you speak of is here to stay. Have you seen prices at fast food joints? That’s what happens when a teen stepping stone job becomes a “career” position and forcefully commands 15-17/hr. Could go on and on.

Right you are about that Pryme - and fast food? it's a joke. 

 Had a good visit to my dealer, met with the GMC sales mgr and my Chevrolet sales gal so we got it right. 

 Lots of constraints some partial, some full "hell no" 

 In a nutshell, GM wants to build what they want to build. I think it's a "partial" rollout of the 24 ordering and some conv pkg's although they are there, can't be ordered. It's a whole new game for 2024's as it stands today. I won't know until a week from today what's up either way. I gathered Thursday's are order day but we knew a week in advance they were getting the slot for what I want. 

 

 Funny thing, the location is the place where I ordered my very first brand new truck (first new anything) back in 91. I told my gal and this is probably my last one. She then said "If I had a dollar for everytime someone said this is my last one, I wouldn't have to work" and we both had a big laugh.

I check last night and 'built' the Sierra 3500 HD that I would want.  Didn't have any issues, could get pretty much exactly what I want with a few extra items in packages I really didn't care about.  Can even get E85 Flex-Fuel on it.  BTW, is the new 'Thunderstorm Gray' (RPO GNO) a non-metallic?

Is E85 FlexFuel available on other trim levels than the base and work truck models now?

Good to know. I wonder if it is tuned differently with increased hp and torque, similar to what the 1500's have been doing since 2014.

Thunderstorm Gray AT4 is looking pretty nice :)

I tried to add the E85 capability to my 2024 6.6 gas LT and it was rejected. Work truck or Custom only. 

 

The last of the 23's are being wrapped up now and the 24's should be online today. There will end up being about 1000 23's in validation, build short delay or repair. The initial 24's will be in validation for a little while to assure they pass quality control. Sold orders likely will come sometime after that. (Flint assy)  2 ice storms in the last 3 weeks along with a storm coming today arent helping the supply chain any.

Do you know if the LED option (T4L) for the LT trim replaces headlights with the new style?  Or does it just give LED bulbs in the same fixture?  I've been an LT trim guy the last few trucks, but I really like the new front end.  I'd love to get the new front end on an LT if possible.

    • It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.  
    • 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. 😉
