Lets say I find a 2500 HD and  it has what we would like in options minus the Factory Spray In Bedliner . Would it be an option to get the Pickup Box sprayed with a LIne X product or similar product and then get the Gooseneck / Fifth wheel package  put in later  if we wanted to go that route with a trailer instead of a tow behind ? The Factory Spray in Bedliner seems quite robust . Wonder  how it compares to a LineX ?

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,

Very similar product to LineX.  

 

If you find a truck that doesn't have the factory gooseneck holes and the liner sprayed, I would install the hitch first then have the bed sprayed as that's how the factory does them that way it seals the edges of the bed holes that were just drilled.

Would anyone know where I can find all the codes for ordering or the codes they use for building a 2500 HD or 3500HD

I'm looking at some build sheets / Vehicle  Locator  sheets from a dealer it has codes on it and what the codes are reffering to but some of the explanations are not great to me .

For example     YM8  LPO Processing Option 

 

Thank You 

 

 

YM8 just means the truck has LPO (Limited Production Options) dealer installed options (mudflaps, running boards, etc.) that were ordered with the vehicle via the ordering workbench.

I'm not finding much information on the seats in the 2024 2500 HD Custom Trim Level . Even the build your truck on GM's website is a bit sketchy . Exactly what colour are the seat offerings it says Jet Black but one option looks to be on the gray side . Is there a code that tells you what is what . I looked in the code book that Capt Bob provided a link to but cant find it.

Thank You

Both are black.  Option code H1T is jet black with manual seats split bench, H0U is jet black with power seat and split bench.  

 

H0U is the same cloth that is in LT trim so "up level" cloth.  H1T is the base cloth.  I think there's just a slight difference in the pattern or feel?

Custom with H0U:

Aside from manual vs power, the only real difference I see in those bolster sections are of a different finish.  H0U has a slightly lighter and different fabric in the bolster the best I can tell in these pictures.  But they are the same color fabric of "Jet Black".

Does any factory paint fair better than others ? I' m thinking on Slate Grey Metallic  , Sterling Silver Metallic or Black

Metallic will create an optical illusion of sorts for the eye as far as scratches or imperfections. Your eye is so busy picking up all the glitter in it that a hairline scratch or scrape in the clearcoat doesn't stand out as much nor does general coat of dust, especially on silver.

 

I do not buy cars without metallic in them for that reason. Also, expect all GM paint to be egg shelled. It's not laid on by a hotrod lover and then wet sanded. Everything from a Corvette Z06 to a Spark has that classic GM eggshell finish. It holds up as good as any other modern water based finish does. Get what color you like.

Thank you Epsilon Plus ! We are really leaning towards the Slate Grey Metallic

Hello, I am purchasing the 2025 Chevrolet 3500 LTZ dual wheel which has a towing capacity of +31K pounds. I add the Z6A option. But do you know if the equipment installed with the Z6A option can support at least 30K. Or it is only 25K or even 20K, Thanks.

Trailer Hitch Part Number: 84632891. But I can't find towing capacity.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.
