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

That is something I did not know.  I thought they also built long beds in Oshawa.

I heard that on here and also on truck king YouTube channel they had to go see their truck being built in flint because it was a long bed and they live up in Canada.

All my previous trucks were built in Flint, but my '22 & '24 were built in Canada, or at least it stated "Final Destination", which my salesman said that is where they do the spray-in bedliners. No more "Proudly Made In Flint, Michigan" stickers on my doors.

Your salesman was being a salesman and smoothing you over making it seem like it just had a Bedliner sprayed in Canada. Is that was they were trying to say? That’s bogus if so. Flint building flint. Oshawa built at that plant. 
 

he probably lost sales for guys only wanting a truck built here.

I just thought all HD 2500's were built in Flint, but apparently not. I'd rather them be built in Flint, but don't care that it was built in Canada, north of the border better than south of the border...

Really appreciate ya’ll for the knowledge and responsiveness on this site!

 

Had some serious issues with my dealer…didn’t want to let me order one and instead wait to source one in the tri state / surrounding area.

 

Sub optimal communication…like folks have forgotten to simply do what they said they’ll do / when they said they’ll do it.

 

Got lucky and about a month after first dealer visit (mid-JAN)…took custody (today) of this 2500 Ultimate in rush metallic. IMG_3583.thumb.jpeg.3aa8d5d909b116f95a2d970531341895.jpeg Came in from somewhere out of state…built in Flint.

 

Has gooseneck and snow plow package 

 

New blacked out wheels (20 in), tailgate stereo and all weather floor mats installed next week. 
 

May over time…work some other mods but for now…just happy to have replaced the 2007 Tacoma Access Cab after 17 years.

 

Cheers

    • We have now!  2027 GMC Sierra  Early look, but I'm a GMC guy and so far I think I like the looks of the Chevy better.
    • HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.      
    • I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it. 
    • So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.
