Most likely the 2 alternators and batteries would be beneficial for someone with a plow. 

Or a camper or 5th wheel or trailer depending on what type of battery load. I know people that run their AC while on the road so they use the second alternator to supplement solar for AC in their trailer.

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.

first weekend with the new rig. Couldnt be happier. Ride is great (noticeably softer than my dads 2500 x31), interior fit and finish is excellent, and that transmission is silky smooth. Digging the titanium rush color too. Sometimes it looks black. Sometimes gray. Sometimes a really dark blue. 

Only mods I foresee are some kind of semi hidden assist step, bed cover(already here), mud flaps and removing the ugly ass 4x4 decal lol

Looks like the Denali doesn't have that stupid sticker. First thing I did when I bought my F150 was to remove it.

Only you can answer the drivers seat question. Do you want a power drivers seat? 
A dual alternator and battery set up is for use with a plow or running a slide in camper. If you’re not doing those things, you won’t need it. Mileage won’t make a noticeable difference. Running a belt across a second alternator would not make a noticeable change to mileage. 
 

 

Hi Pryme 

No wont be running a plow . But we intended to purchase a travel trailer not sure on if it will be a fifth wheel or standard type of travel trailer that you pull from the ball hitch

Anything you can add to help me with my decision would be greatly appreciated . How to deal with dealerships if purchasing a truck off the lot or ordering what you want from the factory then going to the dealer .

 

I also believe you can order the Chevrolet  2500 HD Custom with the Max tow package which makes it a 3500 without the 3500 badge

As long as you are ordering the diesel engine. That option is not available with the gasoline engine.

Dealership tried to add the $5k “market adjustment” above MSRP. I walked em down to $0…all their profit is in MSRP. I’d hold firm on that 

 

They wouldn’t budge below MSRP but I assess they might over the next few months if / when supply is more in line with demand 

 

As far as ordering from factory vs sourcing locally…I got lucky and they found the exact truck I wanted within 3 weeks…no certain if it was already on its way to this dealership or if they made a deal with another location. I ordered the add ons and those were installed by dealer one week after pick up

 

~4 weeks from initial dealership visit to complete truck 

 

~500 miles thus far…knock on wood…no issues. Hoping the updates worked out the gremlins

Mine either, I had to fly to FL from SC and drive it home.

Around here they are adding 5k to msrp.

Saved thousands for a 120 plane ticket and a day of my time.

At my dealer, they never had a markup on MSRP...not even during Covid. They still don't but they also don't offer any discount...yet! They are a very high volume dealer and they are still selling a lot of trucks! I was looking at two with a diesel, although I really wanted gas. They came in and got sold within days!

It was unfortunate that I didn't get my GM discount like I used to. They don't offer it to subsidiaries anymore. That would have been over 9%. I used to work for GM but when I left, I got my discount through my dad who retired. Since he also worked for a subsidiary, no discount anymore.

 

Back in the day, I got around 18% discount. Used to buy a truck a year and sell it at the end of the year for more than I paid for it and I would order another one.

      Some Assembly is Required

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
