Well, it is in the system settings as an option.  Apparently it is not programmed properly.  An update should fix it.  My truck is not yet built so maybe it will work on mine.

 

I'll take rock rails tucked under the body any day over all the steps the factory offers.  But the AT4X is so tall, the power boards are a welcomed inclusion.

Yeah...I get it. Factory fixed running boards aren't the greatest either. I was 50/50 on getting them. Wasn't a cost issue at all. What's 1K when you are spending $80K+!

Well, this change of plan happened today!   Had an LTZ on order, kinda wanted the sport edition but couldn’t order it at the time due to constraint (wasn’t a deal breaker, want not a need).

Definitely some bad experiences ordering a truck. My 2024 AT4 HD is the first vehicle I’ve ever ordered. I sat down with the sales guy and built the truck. He went to the sales manager and came back w

My 2024 HC showed upon at the dealer Saturday.  Ordered it middle of January.  Should be picking it up some time this week.

Our time lines are running real close.... maybe they ran the double cabs at the same time...?

Re: OPA winner's Banquet,... I wish, only in my wildest dreams. I'm just an offshore wanna be who's time has come and gone.  Again, congratulations to Team Saris on the stellar year, maybe see ya at 2024 Lake Race.

appreciate it, thank you.

 

Im thinking youre right on the cabs. SLE as well right?

Double cab SLE, you betcha.

I'm dangerous enough backing at the boat ramp that I don't need the extra length of the mega monster crew cab. I can place the trailer tires w/ pinpoint accuracy, it's just the front of the truck swinging like a pendulum that gets me in trouble 😎🫢

Long bed crew is like driving a school bus around. All depends on what you're doing with them and the look you want. I personally feel that the standard bed crews look far better, but they won't tow quite as well. The double-cabs look too stubby & are cramped in comparison to a crew. I was always a regular cab long box guy until I started buying crews in '07, and I'll never go back because I got used to the room. The best towing truck is the long box crew dually, but it's a behemoth if you're just driving around!

there's pros and cons to it all. the crew/std bed looks good in a 3/4 but i cant stand crew/short bed in a half ton. soccer mom trucks....just get a tahoe. personally i think the double cab/std bed looks more "trucky" in the 3/4. plus a little shorter overall which I like. reminds me of the extended cab which i loved the look of. none of us can go wrong thats for sure. hell im not sitting back there lol

What is the length difference between a double cab and crew with the same bed?  9"?  Don't see that mattering to anyone unless the garage is too small for a crew.

i agree its not much but every little bit helps sometimes. i play in a band, gotta park in cities sometimes. i wanted the smallest "big truck" i could get other than a reg cab. and like i said...I prefer the less cab more bed look. looks tougher to me. its just a personal opinion....everybodies got one lol

For me it was crew cab or bust. My seat needs to be back almost all the way and with three kids across the back, it was crew only. I still feel there is more box than cab length due to the nearly 7’ box. But that isn’t the case in a half ton. 
 

I would have liked the long bed but won’t  fit in the garage and the std box will. I prefer getting in the truck at 40deg vs below zero and scraping off ice and snow haha

Yeah, to be honest, after owning HD's ALL the 1/2 ton's (GM, RAM, Ford) look ridiculous to me. The rake of them just screams cheap to me. The HD's just look more "manly"!

I haven't been able to find exactly what I'm looking for on the lengths, but it looks like a double-cab long box is very close to the same length as a crew standard bed.

I placed an order with my dealer on 3/31/2023 for a Crew Cab Long Bed 2500 L8T.  The dealer called me on 2/1/2024 with allocation.  Long Beds seem to have been so hard to come by in my area for the last year.  I'm not sure I believed it until I saw the Chevy.com chat bot list my order status as accepted by GM.

Not a ton of call vs the shorter bed plus they only build those in flint.

      I gotta say, I'm enjoying your narration. The troubles you've been having are amusing as you describe them. It's good to see that you're finally getting some satisfaction out the old beast though.

      Declaring victory would upset the demons that possess this Blazer, so I won't. But I did make progress today--after it put up a fight. Always a fight.   I had the day off so I spent the morning cleaning up the shop and I thought I'd get ahead of things by filling the cooling system in prep for the final part I needed to arrive: the driver's side knock sensor. Glug, glug, glug....and then the unmistakable sound of liquid hitting the shop floor. It induces the same chagrin when the sonar and targeting laser temporarily malfunction during a late night bladder evacuation over the toilet with the bathroom light off. D'OH!!! That made a mess...   Oh, hey, that knock sensor I removed? It threads into a wet port. Who knew?! Learn something new every day. Put a pin in that chore, I'll fill it the rest of the way later.   The knock sensor arrived at about 1pm. I threaded it in, connected the wire, filled up the coolant, checked for leaks, and... drumroll.... fingers crossed for a perfect start, excellent timing, model fuel trims, and ...no squeaks... Here goes.....   No, it didn't start. At all. I cranked it a few times and it wasn't sounding good. Furthermore, I heard leaking again. Jesus H Tapdancing Christ, stop leaking all over the dang floor. This time I had accidentally overfilled the coolant reservoir and the churn of the water pump via cranking caused a bit to burp out. Ok, just, breathe... Put the flamethrower down. Dang thing wouldn't burn anyway, leaks too much...   Did you know the rotation of a round crank sensor in a round hole, matters? I do now. Took me about half hour to retrace steps and realize what I had done. Then it started right up.   No squeaks. The squeak was the old balancer.   Once it entered closed loop, fuel trims are dead on, hovering right around zero at idle. No more -30%. I'll credit the injector rebuild on that one.   Timing? I think there's an OBD 1.5 translation error with my Actron scanner. It's anywhere from -20 to -30 at idle, sometimes as high as -40 cruising. Sorry, the engine just isn't running that smoothly at -40 degrees ignition advance. It's just not. It's smooth all through the rev range and has decent power. I'm going to have to trust the seat of my pants on this one.   The new exhaust is very quiet. The old catalytic converter? Not melted, but definitely not healthy. Rains glitter when you turn it on its end...all the precious metal is flaking out. Once the new exhaust system burned in/smoked off a bit, the engine's exhaust smell is normal again. Not that I'd recommend going around huffing car exhaust, but, you know what I mean?   One problem to correct. The new exhaust has the opposite problem of the old spliced up exhaust. It wants to hit the floor where the old one wanted to rest on the cross member. Happy medium, please? Still noodling on that one, need to look at how I can adjust some hangers.   I don't know what's next. On one hand I want to run away from this thing as far and as fast as I can -- there have been a lot of NOT fun moments. On the other, now that it kinda drives nice, maybe drive it around for a little bit?   Shhh... it's not currently dripping oil all over the floor. I can see just a little wet at the bottom of the timing cover where it meets the oil pan seal. It's not dripping multiple drops with every ignition cycle, in fact, after some driving this evening it has yet to even form a drop that could drip off yet. But the weekend is young... I fully expect this could turn into Exxon Valdez by Sunday. Because this Blazer hates me. LOL.

      About that:   Once upon a time in a land far far away lived a car company that was shy about taking your money and wanted to be sure that they gave you more that you asked for so that you'd come back. No really, not a fairytale. 😱   But after the field got thinned out enough to limit the competition it seemed good enough to give you only what you asked for. Fair enough I say but in such a market you have to give something the others are not or they go to the one who does. Gimmicks or glitz. Oh, fins and chrome. Yea, shinny crow like cars. Yum.    Field narrows a bit more and 'brand loyalty' becomes a thing and the minute it does they start thinking to themselves, "Could we make more money if we gave them less than they expect and they will hang in there for brand and comfort with the known?" They gave it a try and da*n, it worked!!    Well, what if we teach them, groom them into believing that less is "Normal" and cut some more corners. Will that work? Oh heck yea!    🤔 I wonder, can we give then WAY less than they expect and make them mad enough to spit nails and STILL get them to pay up? Sure, if we get everyone else to do the same so that the choice is less or nothing at all. How would be do that? Platform sharing.  What a concept, right?  Steal like there is no tomorrow and it's legal too!    Truth is no one is going to give up driving, not for very long. The Gen Z crowd is fine with it and will be as long as someone not Gen Z will haul them around. At some point we all die.    Economic voting only works if you cast a NO vote now and again and enough of them to get dumb and dumber to wise up. Well, that's how I was taught anyway. And it should have worked. Would have worked. But the Bail out!!   Look, you have another choice if  you take that bag off your head. If the dumb it down to some predetermined expectation of how John Q Public will use it the, that is under design it to failure they you use it to a lower stress mode. D'ho!    A 1950 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 will go anywhere a Suzuki Hayabusa will and for just as long. But you will have to treat it for what it is and not for what you wish it was.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Vu1can · Posted

      Maybe I was just too unlucky, but I had nothing but bad luck with Bridgestones. Out of 3 sets, they all started losing a lot of air when they got down to about 1/2 tread life, and at that point also wet traction suffered more than it should have. Also, the only tire I ever had in my 60 years of driving that had a side wall blow out was a Bridgestone.   I'm currently running Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse AT and am very happy with them.

      maybe when the trip is over, check all the other joints in the front end, like all the ball joints, tie rods, pitman & idler arms, etc...
