I have abandoned all hope of find a Silverado RST with max tow package near me and have finally resolved myself to ordering one. Anyone know off the top of their head how the strike may affect new orders? Assuming as long as their is a strike, no new trucks... sad face. 

 

When my brother and i moved our parents into ALF's, we had to clean out the house. My brother hit the jackpot box that contained my dads orders of cars he bought. He found the order form for his 1961 Impala 2 door Bubbletop and his 1963 C10. I think it might be kinda neat to piece that one together and frame it, put next to my order for my Silverado.

So far for GM one assembly plant (GM Wentzville) is stopped working, and then all of the GM CCA Parts distribution centers are stopped.  No other plants are stopped (...yet...).

 

If GM can't strike a deal ASAP, UAW will only make this worse I'm sure.

Wentzville builds Colorado/Canyon and Express/Savana

 

Ft Wayne, Silao and Oshawa build 1500 pickups

 

Flint and Oshawa build HD pickups

 

Arlington builds full size SUV

 

Oshawa only does Silverado, and (not positive about this part) perhaps only crewcab

There are alot of Silverados for sale around me. (Minneapolis area). I do not know about max tow availability. Chevrolet is currently advertising 0% APR, $750.00 off and no payments for 90 days on RST. If you would like assistance you can P.M. me.

Max Tow (NHT) is (currently) only available on sold orders (not available on stock orders) so if there are any NHT trucks they must have been 'sold' orders that the customer decided not to accept.

Logistics in Flint is already hampered, its only a matter for time before production slows dramatically or ceases.

Does anyone know the reason why they stopped making the Max Tow available with the 3.0L?  When I was getting ready to order a loaded up RST, the order wouldn't go through unless I changed to one of the gas options.  The 3.0L was a priority so I had to go on a mad dash around the country to find something in stock in my color and preferences.  Unfortunately, I had to settle for a truck without many of the options I wanted like the 360 camera, leather, sunroof, etc.  The dealer tried to get some feedback, and he got nothing, but heard that the combo might not come back?

 

I've actually been considering selling this new one just to get what I really wanted but you still cannot order the 3.0L with the Max Tow.  Obviously the strike is going to screw things up for a while.  But, naturally this makes me a little concerned about this combination depending on the reason and future outlook.

The order guide for 2024 Silverado 1500 (it's updated weekly and seems to be more accurate that the design/build system) still shows NHT is available on RST with the 3.0. 

 

Maybe dealer still had 'stock order type' (SRE) selected instead of selecting 'sold order type' (TRE)??

Note 1 is for 1LT level of LT

Note 2 is for RST

Note 3 is for LTZ

Note 4 is for HC 

 

NHT is not available on other 1500 Silverado trims

I can't tell you what they were doing in the ordering system, but ever since Spring, there is no way to to configure a RST with the 3.0L and the Max Tow.  Still to this day, 6-7 months later, it still cannot be configured.  I'd have a error code on a sheet that the dealer provided, but I cannot produce it immediately.  It's good to hear that the combo is still listed on the guide, but it's just not orderable. If you try, it forces you to one of the gas engines.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Disassembly may be Required!   Every blender makes claims but do  you ponder those claims? What was really said? Was it true?  Motive for saying it? What does in infer?  Is that inference true?    Let's do one.    Claim: Made from shear stable base oils.    What was said: Base Oils are shear proof.   Was it true: Yes.  ALL base oils are Newtonian.    Motive / Inference: To imply the fully formulated product is Shear Proof.    Is the Inference true?: Most fully formulated multigrade oils contain Viscosity Modifiers or VM's, sometimes called VII or Viscosity Index Improvers. There are four types. One is in fact shear proof but it also has a bad effect on extreme cold flow and is restricted to use in specialty oils. A second has limited shear called a 0-5 SSI polymer. Meaning its shear is limited to a range of zero to five percent as reported by the ASTM D6278 Shear Stability Index test. A few high end oils, like Torco SR-5, use them and brag about it profusely. Actually all that use it point it out. The last two shear dramatically and are often marketed as a 'feature' of the product aiding the oil to meet fuel standard requirements of ever stricter rules. One shears more than 5% and the other up to 20%. As you make guess, cost is directly linked to shear down and as such the majority of oils use the cheapest organic polymers sold to make grade and pass stringent tests.    PPD's or Pour Point Depressants also shear a bit, only a few percent and hide inside the 0-5 SSI capabilities.    The blender knows he can not out engineer Stribeck. Physics is not a suggestion. But he can wordcraft the unsuspecting toward believing a false claims INFERENCE. This is LEGAL. It is COMMON, and it is EFFECTIVE.

      2006 Silverado HVAC sensor location in dashboard

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I don't recall ever dealing with one on an '06 and back. It may not even exist on that. I can't remember for sure.   Any kind of ice in or after the evaporator is normally due to low charge with both a clutch-cycling orifice tube system, and a TXV system.

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      Engines wear. It is unavoidable. So the question isn't if it will wear out but rather WHEN it will wear out. That question is about rate and RATE is a HUGE problem for almost everyone; but not in the way we may think.    Unless there is something drastically wrong with your powertrain, wear is exceedingly slow. It doesn't wear out in minutes or hours or days or months but in years or even decades. Ditto sludge and varnish. Humans are an impatient lot so to see the benefit of a truly superior product you may have to wait a very long time. Most will get bored first and trade before they reap the benefit.   Humans are not companionate creatures when it comes to those we do not know. We don't care what happens to the second or third owner as long as it doesn't happen to us or someone we know and actually like.   Sad commentary on humans but it is what it is. That thus, then, there is no advantage...to or for you if the above paragraphs adequately describe you.    BUT if you are a buy and hold type and patient enough to reap the rewards of your labors then that thing that is happening that you haven't yet seen, but will; can be abated by such products. Seals harden and leak with time and lots of it. Rings stick after thousands of miles of a slowly building plaque of varnish.    Then there is this. This didn't happen over night and this poor fellow knew when he removed the cover and not one second before.   Not "aware' isn't the same thing as "isn't happening".        The above was typical of the Ford 361 and 391 bus motors on Bulk Pennzoil Mineral Oil products on 3K mile OCI's at about 60K miles back in the 60's and 70's at the Anamosa School District when my Uncle took over their maintenance program.    This is Pepper at @ 165K on 5K OCI's using Group IV/V Full Synthetics.      HM oils will help the first but not the second.    Then again if one used..... ah, ya know.....

      Awesome you got it sorted! That's a new potential issue I'll have to mark in my book of issues. Thanks for the feedback.
