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 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.

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.

    • More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade. 
    • Thanks for the point of reference 
    • Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends. 
    • 185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
