Here's a great video with the new 10 speed behind the gasser towing a 15k fifth wheel. I'm impressed!

obviously the dashes and such are improved in the 2024, but are the seats the same?

Unfortunately yes they are the same

Most notable difference between the GM and Ford is the very hot ford trans temps  of 230deg. 172 for the Chevrolet.    ppl saying oh the ford is designed to run hot blah blah. Why? Why is it de

I think most of us thought this is exactly where the 10 speed would shine, and shine it does!!

I have the powered drivers seat in my custom model and love it.  I can see if you don't have the powered seat that it would probably suck.  But I love mine.  Totally comfortable after getting it adjusted right.

My poverty model has manual seats and I have no complaints. 
 

im done growing so I set it and forget it. I’m the only one who drives the truck so I don’t need to move it.

So you totally get what I'm saying.  I think the seats are great.  I've heard complaints of the non powered seats being too low.  I'm 6'1 so I generally have the opposite problem with my head being too close to the headliner.  And thankfully no one else drives my truck.  My little squirt of a wife loves it, but never wants to drive it...yay for me...lol...

Are they actually different?

The lumbar adjustment feels like a large balloon in the power seats. I don't feel that in the manual ones.

I'm toying with going from ventilated leather in my Denali back to cloth in the next truck.  Biggest concern with the cloth is my golden retriever.  That hair can embed itself in solid marble it seems...

I have a golden retriever but it's my wife (no offense to my sweet wife of course) and no she's not a dog, quite pretty actually....with long ass golden hair and I'm constantly yanking out her hair from the passenger seat.  And the little bit of carpet that is exposed because I have the factory rubber floor mats and on the back seat and pretty much everywhere.  Yeah if that's a huge concern of yours, you might want to stick with leather....lol....

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.
