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?

Strange as I'm sure with the Custom Trim Level one type looked  deep gray the other real black I will see if I can post something

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".

Thank You  New Dude ! That's the colour I like and not a real deep 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.

I find part number.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Stabilitrack was a stability control, traction control system, that functioned independently from the transfer case.   Z-71 has nothing to do with the transfer case or differential.   If it does have an AWD system, my memory recalls this being specific to the Denali trim, converting won't be as simple as swapping out mechanical parts like differentials and transfer cases. It will require reprogramming at a minimum. Long story short, not likely worth it.   Pulling a fuse, may disable the AWD system, it might also prevent any other transfer case functions.   However, the AWD case was generally based on the same transfer case you refer to in the 2006 Suburban. If it still has a 4-High and 4-Low where the transfer case locks and splits power 50-50 front to rear, what are you gaining by changing anything? A true-rear wheel drive only, what good will that serve? Not enough to go through the trouble of changing out all the parts.    Generally, all the factory systems will handle a 33" tire and re-gearing. Probably a 35" tire too, if you aren't driving like a caveman. If 35" tires are in the plan...   If you do plan on driving like a caveman or are fully committed to 35" tires, an entire re-think of the build is probably in order. Starting with square one, an IFS front end isn't going to be the best starting point for 35's and caveman driving.

      Oil Consumption

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      1/2 qt over full ain`t gonna hurt $h!t. Most times, a whole qt won`t either. Most have windage trays now. As long as the crank isn`t slapping itself in the oil, it`s not the end of the world.   We used to overfill 1 qt at the track, at race time. Better to have it over full than having the pan sucked dry at 6500 rpm`s.
