One consideration - do you want to mod it? Just watching the chatter the electrical mods for 22 are figured out (e.g. WAMS, Gen5Y and Pulsar) and seems like things are still being worked out for the '23 arch

I would still go new but just a thought

I checked the prices at my local dealer and that RST with 6.0L is definitely heavily discounted!

Go new, that way you know what you're getting as I would wonder why a 2022 is sitting on the lot being that new did the previous owner have nothing but issues with it and wanted to unload it? Like I said go new your getting a full factory warranty and you know what you got. 

 

Many times you hear about people dumping their new vehicle because it was nothing but issues.

2022 with 25k could have been a 2 year lease, or a lease turned in early... Hard to know for certain sometimes.

console shifter feels natural to me after driving sporty cars and Jeep Grand Cherokees for 20 years, they all had center console shifter.  

 

So back to the trucks?

If only it worked more like traditional floor / console automatic transmission shifters...

Another question on the used one is did it have the lifter failure(s)? Seen numerous people on here have the issue then immediately dump the truck once it's fixed.

Great point!  I believe before I would go used on this purchase that I would at least have a dealer pull up the service history on the VIN and see if there was anything that stood out.  Personally I'd opt for the Chevy, but overall  I typically lean towards the bowtie.

I had a 19 Denali and now a 22 refreshed. The new one is better in most regards. Not a fan of the shifter, but it's not a big deal to me. The layout of the interior, quality of materials is much improved. I would go with the new Chevy.

And this is my exact gripe as I mentioned... From Park, pushing forward to go backwards is anything BUT natural. Every car and SUV I've owner for the last 20+ years had a console shifter and NONE of them worked like this.

there are a crapload of 2020-2021 loaded denali trucks around me, all with around 20-30k miles, for $50k.  All back off lease hitting the dealer lots.

Love the refreshed dash and LOVE the new shifter......takes a little bit to get used to but once you do, its so nice IMHO. 

The old column shifter was something from the 90's IMHO......about time it's refreshed and upgraded. 

Night and day difference from the old design (I had a 2020 RST and now have a 2023 High Country). 

 

New vs old.....NO-Brainer....

 

Why purchase someone else's used truck when you can get a brand new redesign for the same price.

thanks for the feedback everyone.  Ended up splurging and getting a 2024 Denali 1500 - Black, 5.3L, w/Reserve package.  Its beautiful.  Way more truck than I need but with GM employee discount, the price came down $7k and then there was another $7k off in rebates... dealer offered me $1k over blue book on my trade...  I couldn't say no.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.
