My previous 1/2 tons trucks had the Z71 package with the Z71 4x4 badge on the front fender. My current truck is an AT4 HD that has all of the Z71 or X31 stuff but no badging except for AT4.

The locker is standard on any and all HD. The "skid plates" is one tiny transfer case plate you can add yourself for less than $100. Better yet, add the ZR2 transfer case skid plate instead.

Multiple ways the factory spray liner is optioned.  Its a standalone option on HD trucks (rpo code CGN), it is part of the Z71 Off Road and Protection package, it is part of the Z6A Gooseneck package,

Not just pre-drills. It's a complete crossmember under the bed between the frame rails and a 7 pin plug in the bed. If you ever plan to do a 5er or gooseneck, it is worth it to order that up front.

gooseneck is an option on all 2500/3500 trucks, probably find more 3500s that do have them ordered from dealers though.....well worth it if you need one

 

Z71 is whatever.....on 1500s you get 4 lo with it, but on HD they all have 4 lo but getting 4WD auto is nice to have on HD and is an option on LT and below.....

also the power folding mirrors with rear aux lights is nice....

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it also comes with the spray in bed liner for the price.

 

I honestly don't know if a bed liner is an option otherwise.

Multiple ways the factory spray liner is optioned.  Its a standalone option on HD trucks (rpo code CGN), it is part of the Z71 Off Road and Protection package, it is part of the Z6A Gooseneck package, and its often included in the "edition" packages so Alaskan, Z71 Sport, Z71 Chrome and Midnight all include CGN spray bed liner.  The spray liner is standard equipment on ZR2 and High Country.

Thank You fellas for the above replies !  Okay is the Gooseneck package also including in  the Fifth wheel package ? As I think 5th wheel and Gooseneck are  two different types of hitches ,am I correct ??

 

Let me say when you are comparing trucks that are on dealership lots there's a whole lot of options  to compare , as even the Customs have added options

Z6A gooseneck/5th wheel package includes the spray on bed liner, factory installed gooseneck/5th wheel hitch, in bed trailer plug and plastic covers for the holes to cover the hitch mounts when not in use.  

 

The factory hitch is a puck style hitch.  It has 4 mounting holes to accommodate a 5th wheel hitch, and it has one hole in the center for a gooseneck ball to mount.  GM makes a factory ball and chain cleat kit for the puck system, and Curt and other manufacturers make either direct fit 5th wheel hitches, or replacement sides for an existing hitch or adapters for hitches that use rails.

Thanks so much for the details New Dude ! I'm not quite understanding the Goose Neck / 5th Wheel package . So if you get this option with the truck, the holes are drilled and plastic caps to fit the holes . The actual  hitch underneath the truck box  is attached to the cross member and then you attach the Gooseneck or 5th wheel to the hitch ?

What purpose do the marker lamps on the cab roof play ? Is that a potential water leak situation ?

Thanks

The factory drills 5 holes in the bed floor.  As far as the hitch goes, when the frame is assembled they install a factory engineered hitch setup to the frame.  Its basically a hidden rail setup that uses 4 90 degree lock holes for 5th wheel and one big hole in the center that a gooseneck ball locks into.

And here's a thread on someone here installing the 15-19 factory setup on a truck that didn't come with it:

 At this point I'm surprised they aren't mandated because of how wide these trucks are (just over 80 inches not counting the mirrors).  Cab roof markers are required actually on vehicles over 80" wide to notate that they are a wide vehicle.   So duallies will all come with them no matter what for example but on the single rear wheel trucks, its not required.  It can be seen as a looks thing if you will.

 

As far as leaks, eh.  Factory installed they usually hold up pretty good.  Its when you try an install them on a truck that didn't come with them is where leaks seem the most common.

I’ve seen threads about them leaking especially on the fords. They are for looks they do nothing. I’m glad I don’t have them.

Not having roof markers is a contribution to the delinquency of an HD. Kinda like the baby mirrors. 😉

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
