I finally have the extra money for the DIC panel and switches so tomorrow i'll order it and the part should arrive tuesday and hopefully it will i've been wanting it since it I got the truck. My truck is a wt model with the 4.8l but the dealer installed the ls package, chrome steel wheels, chrome grille surround, chrome front bumber, trailering package, locking rear end, handling/trailering susp, vortec gas 5.3l with active fuel mgt, cruise control, 3.73 gears. I looked at 2 different wt model and the first 1 had the 4.8l gas 4wd black bumpers, ugly steel wheels, it was just a plain jane tuck with basiclly no options for 28,505 and the 2 one is what I have now a wt model with the ls pckg, bigger engine, 4wd, it has alot more options with the dic wires and this one was 29,590. So im glad that I waited about another week for a truck I really wanted, I just wished it had power windows/locks guess that will be my next investment :jester:

that sounds like the truck I have, but yeah, dealer doesn't install those features they come from factory. I just bought my truck for 21,000 (5.3L, ext cab, 4x4, LT2 pkg) these things are going down in price!!

 

Let us know if the switches work, which they should because the connector is already there. Do you have any pics of your truck?

indeed. what you have hogue2008 is a W/T package with some additional options.

 

from the GMC website, here are factory installed options for the SL:

 

Features shown below are in addition to, or in place of, WT 1SA features

Air conditioning, single-zone, manual

Chrome grille surround

Cruise control

Floor carpeting, color-keyed

Glass, Solar-Ray deep-tinted (all windows except light-tinted glass on windshield, driver, and front passenger-side glass)

Moldings, bodyside, body-colored

Power door locks, power windows, power heated outside mirrors

Remote Keyless entry

Seat trim, Dark Titanium Cloth

 

either way it sounds like a nice truck.

i meant factory not the dealer sorry. i live in chattanooga tn and the truck came out of knoxville tn and they couldnt send me any pics, so the only thing i seen was the window sticker and after 4 days i finally seen it and picked it up. i signed the papers friday evening at my dealer but the lady who writes the checks dont work on saturday so i couldnt get it saturday closed on sunday of course monday came around they get the check wrote out and drive all the way to knoxville to get the truck and the guy who was doing the deal didnt work that day then tuesday i finally got my truck around 4 i wasnt to happy until i seen the truck. i traded my old truck and they took it friday i guess they did that incase i changed my mind about the whole deal but saturday they sold my old truck but it was a good looking truck and they gave me a new cobalt to drive for the 4 days i had they filled it up for me and they said to bring it back on E if i wanted to. i was suprised that they gave me one of their cars considering that im only 20.

Nice truck. Those three mods were my first changes too. I stole the DIC my dad had ordered for his truck and then ordered one for him the day I got mine. I had tires and tinted windows within a week.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
