Never  mind.  I was surprised to see you didn't have roof lights.  After a little research, I see it's a 'California' thing.

 

Nice truck!

I would pay extra not to have those lights on top!

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.

I like the roof lights. A neighbor told me that my truck looks like a Christmas tree at night coming down the street. Also like to be seen considering how many people pull out like they don't see me.

I used to drive trucks with 30 bright flashing lights on them and people still didnt see them sometimes. Its hard to see when your face is buried in your phone. I agree though, my 2024 has every light on it that GM would put there.

Which is exactly what I don't want.

Either way, the state of California made the decision for you! :)

I've ordered them on the last 3 trucks. I think they're a great addition, especially for only $55! I like just driving with my park lights in the early evening light, and not having the headlights blaring when they're not needed.

I kinda like the idea of having 5 less holes in the top of my truck!

I agree ! That's one of the reasons  we passed on the Z71 that was at the dealer .One less thing to go wrong in the future !

This is follow up post from a few posts I put up back in late January.  See pages 37 and 38 of this thread.  The TLDR was that I ordered a 2500 HD in November of 2023 and by the time it was scheduled to be built it was not optioned as I had specified.  So I had to re-order, with some new information about the ordering process provided by the folks in this thread, so again thanks for that.  So the new truck has been built, it's off the train at the local depot, (whatever that's called), and waiting to go on the auto transporter for delivery to the dealer.  Hopefully will be here sometime this coming week.

Is there a way to make this PDF display in my message? or do I need to convert it to a pic file like a JPEG?

Exactly why we did not want  them either ! I think they look great when they are on , but a leak would not be cool !

I've had 4 different trucks with the LED cab lights & have never had a leak, although I've never taken out my headliners to see if there was any "seepage". I've also NEVER had a failed tailgate switch neither, so there you go!

Well that's good to know for those that have them on their trucks

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
