I recently was looking to purchase a Thunderstorm Gray 1500. I've seen websites stating the color is available and saw a few pictures of the trucks online. However I could not find any around the GA area even with a search of 500 miles. Plus when you go to the GMC site and try to build one. The color is not listed to be picked. Is it on constraint or something else?

Seen several Sierras in this color at my local dealer. Haven't seen a Silverado in this color in person yet, but I haven't been through the lot where I bought my truck in a month or more.

paint code is GNO. Shows it for the 2024 Sierra. Does not show it for the Silverado. 

It is called Slate Gray Metallic on the Silverado.

I see it as a color choice on all trims of the Sierra 1500 builder....

Here is what it shows me for color choices. 7 colors. 24 Sierra SLT. It must only be the Elevation and AT4 that gets it. I went back and selected thosetrims and it's listed there.

The trims I saw the GMCs in that color was Elevation, AT4 and Denali. I didn't stop at the dealer I got my truck at today but driving by it did look like they had a few Silverados in the same color. It's just a lighter color of the steel gray they have already had.

Thunderstorm Gray = Slate Gray on Silverado.  Same RPO code GNO and same paint code 633D.  Looks like a gloss primer type gray but when you get up to it the metal flake shows a lot.

That color has to be the most ugliest color I've ever seen it reminds me of a primer gray that people use to prime there vehicles back in the 70s and 80 and drive around.

Nah its awesome in person.  Looks best on the full body color trucks like an RST, Elevation, AT4, etc.  Lighting changes it a lot too makes it almost a blueish tint in lower lighting.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
