I have a question about the seats in the 2024 2500 HD. I know (think)  the AT4, Denali AT4X and Denali Ultimate all have different grades of leather for the seat material. I also know the AT4X and Ultimate have massaging seats. If you take away the messaging seats which GMC trim would have the most comfortable seats for a trip from east coast to Anchorage, Denali and Fairbanks AK and for everyday driving?

Well, I can tell you that the seats in the 2024 AT4 aren't exactly super comfortable. They do break in a bit over time, but still are pretty firm. I believe the Denali Ultimate and AT4X have better seats (even not considering the massage feature), but I haven't personally sat in them to compare.

My 2024 AT4 HD is the first truck I've had with leather seats. GF has had two GMC Acadia's with leather seats. Hers is pretty comfy, mine are a little stiff. Regardless, at 63yo and retired, on a long trip (425 miles) I stop frequently to stretch, bathroom break, eat, etc. For everyday driving they are fine.

I would agree AT4 2500 seats are definitely firmer than AT4X 2500 seats.  One of my contractors has an Ultimate, but I have not sat in it.

 

I will add I recently sat in a 2500 ZR2, and I thought those seats were softer than those in the AT4X.  Certainly softer than a regular AT4.  Maybe because those seats are not real leather?  I don't know, but they were probably the best GM HD seats I have sat in.

I wish I had the seats from the wife's '14 Suburban in my '24 2500. 3 kids, 10 years, and 180k miles, it's still a couch on wheels. The seats were a miss on the '24s for me, otherwise I really like the truck.

    • It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.  
    • Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.
    • This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.  
    • 2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.  
    • Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
