The ineptitude of some of these people that work at the dealerships is ridiculous. My first '24 I ordered in the Lakeshore Blue couldn't be built in that color because apparently GM didn't have the paint code finalized, although they let me build & order it in that color. Anyway, the guy in charge of the orders didn't call me to let me know that the blue wasn't available yet, instead he took it upon himself to order it in white. He could have taken 5 minutes out of his day to call me & discuss it, but he never. There were other color options I probably would have been satisfied with, but white wasn't one of them. I made them re-order it in blue and was able to get it the way I wanted the second time over, but had to wait an additional 2+ months.

.

Yeah, sadly it seems like 90% of the dealers out there are like this. Luckily my GMC dealer was great beginning to end (salesman is an old car buddy of my dad). I originally wanted Thunderstorm Gray, but he told me right away I'd have to wait at least another 5 months so I ended up getting white. Now that I've seen Thunderstorm in person I wish I could have been more patient, but that's another story...

its funny. I sort of wanted white. But between it being a "free" color and without delay it feels like 70% of the 2500s I see on the road are white. Ruined it for me went with titanium rush metallic

I haven't seen a Titaniun Rush in person yet, but in pictures it looks like a really cool color when you can see the blue/purple in certain lights.

we'll see soon(ish) hopefully lol. 

I love the look and low maintenance of white. 

I love the look of black but too difficult to keep clean and scratches easy.

I dont like silver. I like dark gray though. I had a satin steel metallic 1500 that was sexy. 

Didnt leave me a lot of options....honestly the color options on the current 2500s is lame. 

The 2023s had a cool green I would have done but they did away with it for 2024.

Truck arrived last night and at the dealer ready for prep next week. Went to the dealer and checked it out. Old and new.837136A2-A80E-42AE-A71D-F4AE0573458F.thumb.jpeg.8615be86e5d5c5d20c9f9f94f354e630.jpeg

Truck has arrived in Denver. Currently sitting at the storage lot awaiting transportation by truck to the dealership. Roughly 55 miles to the dealership. Hopefully, I get it in a few days.

You'll never want another 1/2 ton again after switching to an HD. I kind of look at them as a car with a box compared to the HD's, a HUGE difference.

Picked up my truck last night. Ordered it October 5th and picked it up on January 16th.

Looks tight! How much room you got in the front?

Looks like it's about a 20' deep garage, or it has some work benches built on the back wall!

Congrats!  Probably just the scale of the photo, but that garage door looks tiny.  Good thing you did not get the ZR2, I don't think it would clear!

2024 AT4 HD, ordered Oct 5th and brought it home today. Already dirty on the ride home, winter in VT!

 

GM running boards and splash guards.

 

Adjusted air pressures to 60psi for all. Onstar shows orange for the rears but no TPMS error yet. If it does, I’ll change the placard pressures if the truck allows it with my Autel TS508. 
 

Barely fits in the garage, can’t open the tailgate. A lot longer than my 2018 Sierra 1500 SLE Double Cab.

 

ARE cap gets put on next Friday.

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • 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?
