What are your complaints/wishes with your crewcab trucks? Door wise, seating wise, room wise (nothing engine trans 4wd related just concerned about the crewcab design itself)

I liked how the rear seats in my GMT800 crew cab folded down better than how my GTM900 rear seats fold up...

 

I also wish you could get a crew cab with a full 6' bed.... that was one of the reasons why i almost bought a 2500HD Dmax- but my denali had the same sticker price but they were able to give me more off of MSRP than the Dmax... probably since the diesels were still selling but no one wanted a 6.2L gasser..

With regards to what you are interested in, I have not a single complaint. I absolutely love my crewcab. There are times when I would like to have a longer bed, but they are few and far. In fact, I am glad it doesn't have a longer bed. It fits in my garage, but just fits. I mean by inches.

 

I love my truck. In fact my neighbor bought one this week because of how much I love my truck.

I agree, my 07 Denali has been the best truck I have ever owned of many. Granted I now have 2 kids, tow heavy, daily drive a lot, etc.... so while I wish I could have a sedan for some things and a HD for others, the 07 CC 6.2 has been the best all-around vehicle for my current needs.

Can't argue with that!! It has the room to fit the family comfortably, the bed use of a pickup, tows like a beast and rides like a caddy... what more can you ask for in a vehicle??? :cool:

Thanks, I dont think the bed would be to much of an issue. I mean even with my 6.5ft bed I have hauled 18 ft lumber so really sometimes no matter what you have it will not be big enough. Thats why they sell trailers :cool:

 

As far as length the new SBCC is about the same length as my ECSB

Really? Why? I like how they fold up giving full acces to the floor. Hell, I picked up a big TV for a friend that doesn't have a truck and he felt kinda stupid when I put it in the back of the cab and didn't even need the bed. :cool:

My fiance thinks that the space made by folding the seats up is just for her stuff :cool:

 

I would like a floor mat to fit there so I don't tear up the carpet when I put dirty things in that space.

I like that they flip up.

 

Does anyone have any interior photos of the power sliding rear window (window itself and the console how it works)

 

Thanks!

In the GMT800 the bottom seat area flipped foward and the seat backs folded down. This provided a perfectly flat surface for putting stuff back there and there was literally more area... in other words you could fit a bigger TV in the back of a GMT800 as compared to the space in the back of a GMT900.

 

The guy at the dealership actually said that a lot of previous GMT800 owners have this complaint about the GMT900.

No complaints, really. Like Jeff said, plenty of room when you flip the seats up.

I would've expected questions about the doors, room, etc. on an extended-cab, not a crew-cab...? :cool:

 

EDIT : Correction... Having a flat floorboard would be nice. I'd like to have a little more room under the seat for my camera bag, laptop bag, etc. That one thing has made me think I should've bought a Tahoe or Yukon, instead of the Sierra... more concealable interior storage. But, I'd say that's my fault for not thinking that part of it through more.. not the truck's fault for not having it.

IIRC the button for the power siding window is up by the map lights.

BTW, no complaints about my crew. Regular cab would never work for me and I don't like the "feel" of the rear doors on an EC.

My GMT800 (2000 Sierra) was an ext cab and they folded up just like my current one does (except it wasn't split 60/40). You may have had more surface area, but you didn't have the height. Plus I prefer things lower down on the floor on a solid surface (floor) vs the seats.

 

To each his own I guess.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      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. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
