Lt Trim In 2006


Recommended Posts

Posted

Have a question for all you knowledgeable Chevy folks. In 2006 were you able to get cloth seats in an LT trim truck. I am looking at a 06 3/4 ton and I am suspecting that something is screwy with it. It has the LT trim logo on the rear cab pillar, but to me it does not have LT options,....or at least not all of them. It has the floor console and the dial/digital air/heat system but it has cloth seats and no steering wheel audio controls. I had a 2003 LT 1/2 ton and it had all of these options. I am wondering if someone has stripped the leather seats, the door panels with the heated seat controls and the steering wheel.

 

Any thoughts because the truck is super clean with low miles and an LBZ Duramax.

Nope, neither leather nor steering wheel radio controls were standard with LT trim level. I bought mine brand new, has cloth, and line item on the window sticker detailing the addition of the steering wheel mounted controls.

 

Doesn't sound like anything is wrong with the truck.

buckeye is correct. GM keeps lowering the standard option packages year to year so you think cars are cheaper. I think it was in 05 when an LT no longer had leather standard. 2008 LT1 Cobalts don't even have alloy wheels.

 

It tricks consumers into thinking "you mean last year an LT was $xx,xxx and this year it's only $xx,xxx." It is cheaper because you get fewer standard options.

Thanks Guys! I was just wondering..................this makes me feel better about the deal. Very Clean truck with only 10,000 miles.

Yeah, that is when GM came out with the LT1 LT2 LT3 combo and dropped the LS. So it was possible, just like now, to get the LT package with cloth seats (LT1 LT2). Even on the 07's the LT1 does not have the steering wheel audio and expanded DIC etc.

    • A complete delete is the most thorough mechanical solution, but it is also major engine work. On a quiet truck that is still under extended warranty, opening the engine purely as prevention is difficult to justify. A plug-in disabler stops commanded cylinder deactivation, but it does not remove or repair the collapsible lifters, so it should not be treated as failure insurance. I would keep the oil full, document the maintenance, and have any persistent tick, misfire, or loss of power diagnosed promptly. If the engine eventually has to come apart, that is the logical time to compare an OEM-style repair with a complete delete. The right choice depends on the truck’s symptoms, warranty status, expected ownership period, and whether the engine already needs to be opened. We explain that decision in more detail here—full disclosure, this is our own guide: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/do-you-actually-need-an-afm-disabler   One exception: some 2021 L82/L84 trucks have RPO YK9, meaning cylinder deactivation was already disabled in the factory ECM; on those trucks a plug-in disabler is redundant, although the AFM/DFM hardware remains inside the engine.
    • Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?  
    • I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery. 
    • The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.
    • Got heavy rain, hail and light rain yesterday.
