How Many All Terrain Owners Do We Have?

I'm on the verge of going with this package on an '09 Extended Cab. My dealer has 4 in stock, including two Crew Cabs but only in Onyx Black and Summit White. I've pretty much decided on a Steel Gray one at another dealer that's 125 miles away.

 

Wasn't real sure at first how I'd like the console layout but after sitting in one for a while it sure felt nice. So far they are offering $7055 of the MSRP but we've yet to really get down to business.

Hey Mark (Snarkee), how's the ride with those BFG tires? What size are they? I've been looking at tires lately since I plan to lift/level mine in the near future just about like you've got yours. I'm going with a Rancho QuickLIFT though...

I've got one too. An '08 SLE2 that looks like Snarkee's. I didn't originally consider it but when I was looking what I was choosing for options, I noticed that it was all in the AT package plus some extras. I like having it because you don't see many of them around. I'll get some pics one day.

Nice trucks guys and V8GMT Guy its been a toss up between the Stealth Gray or Steel Gray.

 

I had that same debate when I bought mine. I could've had a Steel Gray for a little less money but it didn't have the sliding rear window (mine does) and for whatever reason I liked the way Stealth Gray looked on this truck better than I did the Steel Gray. I'm happy with my choice.

 

There are a few pics in this thread of a Steel Gray A/T if you want to compare them side-by-side; that's how I ultimately made my decision:

Holy crap, who told you they rode bad?!?! They ride awesome. I don't have an A/T but I do have the max trailer package and my truck drives smooth as glass. By far the best riding chevy truck I've ever owned.

Yeah, I don't know who told you that but they're WAY off-base. In my personal opinion the A/T rides just as smooth, if not smoother than the regular Z71. They're at the very least every bit as good as the Denali as far as ride quality goes, if not better in some cases because of the 18" wheels (as opposed to 20" on the Denali and some Z71s).

I have a 08 CC All-Terrain Onyx Black and I love the truck. I wish i would have got the two tone leather instead of the cloth but other than that it was a great purchase. As for the ride I'm coming from a lowered sports truck so I think the ride is awesome. I have taken a couple four hour trips and the truck was great.

Those Onyx black ones do look nice. I test drove the dealers black one this afternoon and the ride was outstanding coming from my '96 Ford. The leather seating is extremely comfortable.

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      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.

      Wiring Help, Please

      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.

      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.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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. 😉
