Wishful thinking on my part. But what’s the probability that new ‘23 trucks will get passed over for a ‘24 model with the 10 speed by perspective buyers? Resulting in ‘23 trucks getting discounted pricing to get them off the lots.

 

Random thoughts while I couldn’t sleep. Opinions? Thanks…

@UWSkier I had the same report in the Ozarks as you did. My '21 gasser took the hills just fine, but it was not as comfortable as it should have been. Always stuck with me that I wanted more from my 6

Wish in one hand and……ya’ll know the rest.   A dealer 8 hours West of me discounted their 23’s by $4000. And a previously spoken for truck became available.   I made a deal as fast

The 25 model will have a new state of the art 21 speed built by world renowned manufacturer HUFFY. It will now say huffy 6.6 liter instead of Alison.

Just hoping as the next few months roll along as I prepare to buy a new truck that I can get a '23 for a few dollars off msrp because it "only has" the 6 speed. Unlikely, since the HD truck market has so much pent up demand within 500 miles of my location. Wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which one fills up faster...

Nah, it wouldn't be discounted because of the transmission, rather, being of leftover model year.

I think the change to the 10 spd and the new electronics has diminished the desirability of the 23's

There are still 23 HD trucks around here and most have some discount off MSRP. Not to the point of pre 2020 but I am seeing some dealers wanting to move the 23's to make room for the new trucks.

The 6 speed is more desirable in my opinion.   I hate how the 10 speeds drive, and those 10 speed allisons are just ford 10r140's and are very problematic transmissions.  The 6L90 is a much better transmission.

I prefer the 6 speed for my own reasons. It's also cheaper to repair/replace out of warranty if need be.

Also, from what I have read the new 2024 models will be updated OTA (over the air) which means that if you want to have any mods which require the ECU to be reprogrammed then the programming for those mods can be reset at any time. Depending on the mods installed that reset could potentially kill your engine.

If you never plan to modify your truck then it's not an issue. But I don't keep stock vehicles very long. Once I throw that Whipple supercharger on my truck the 6 speed is going to be more than enough.

The 6 speed also handles more power than the ford 10r140.  With a speed limit of 100mph on these trucks you don't even ever use more than 3 or 4 gears as it is.

My newer stuff has 6 speed transmissions it’s more than enough. My avalanche has 4 speeds. At 180K miles I’ll be much happier with the repair bill if it goes bad. For cruising at 70 mph they all seem to be cruising at the same RPMs.

Yep.  The 10 speeds constantly shift up down up down trying to find a gear and they can never hold a gear either making it a nightmare in the hills.  Wish GM would stick with the 6L90 for these trucks.  Good luck to those with the 10r140!  High failure rate with those transmissions.

You're confusing the 10 speed collaboration between GM and Ford on the half-ton platform. The HD Allison (GM Built and Allison signed off - not a true Allison) 10 speed in the HDs is a different platform entirely than the 10L80/10R80 transmissions.

 

I just traded in my 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 gasser for a 10spd equipped 2024 silverado 2500. I loved my 6L90, but mountain towing and a few other towing scenarios left much to be desired. So far I am very impressed with my 10L1000 during break-in. No constant shifting as you stated, with a much more desirable driving feel.

 

I'll be hooking up to some loads in May and will keep y'all updated. I felt as though I did enough digging to realize the minor issues with some 10spd's in the duramax 2020-2023 platform in comparison to how many trucks with that transmission are on the road with no problems made my decision easier. 

 

We all are biased to what drivetrain combo we own and drive. I personally think GM should offer BOTH the 6spd and 10spd in the gasser because they both are great options.

The 10L1000 is a Ford 10R140.

      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

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      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.
