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.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      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.
