The table doesn't list the "NHT" max-trailering package. I've read on here and other sites that the 2010 NHT will have the 6.2L rather than the 6.0. If so, then it will be available in a wider range of trim/cab configurations. We shall see...

I hope that was an early "rough draft" or I will be ticked off pretty bad. On July 23rd I plan on walking into the dealer and placing an order for a 2010.

Gotta say... im kinda happy about that. One of the reasons I was excited about my Denali package was for the "rare" 6.2L... the next best engine in the lineup was the 6.0L available with the VMax package. Then they started putting the 6.2's in more models so it took away one of the highlights of the Denali... basically turning it into a "trim" package :thumbs:

 

Actually, there ARE now LTZ's out there with the 6.2L and literally more "options" than my "Denali" has... (i don't have Nav, Sunroof, Rear sliding window, backup camera).. not to mention the LTZ's also get the 14bolt rear. The Denali edition has lost its pedestal imo

Nah, don't worry about it, the Denali still holds the "Street Queen" crown. :)

 

(It is still awd vs 4wd) :D

A main reason I went for the Silvy CC over the denali was I couldn't get the denali in the black granite which is such a nice color.If They didn't put the 6.2 in the silv. I 100% would've went with the denali and 100% feel what you're saying about the rarity factor

Then why didn't you buy an SLT Sierra with the 6.2? That would much more closely resemble the Denali than the Silvy. And the Sierra is 1000X better looking than the Silvy anyway. :thumbs:

GM builds a variety of truck types to meet different wants/needs. For me, the only reason to step up to the 6.0 or 6.2 is for towing, so the logical choice would be the NHT (Vmax) package to get the extra 300 lbs of payload. I don't race or care about HP @ 5000 rpm, but I do pull a camper, and care about torque/HP at 3000 rpm. The NHT fills a niche between the 1500 w/ 5.3 and a 2500HD w/ 6.0. A little more mid-range torque/power, heavier axle and 300 lbs of added payload.

I'm not surprised...they seem to do this stuff all the time. Makes no sense to me...if a customer wants the 6.2, but doesn't need/want leather and all the bells and whistles, then you should let them have it. :thumbs:

      I like the idea.  I would pick diesel if I had a choice. I need pictures though.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By newdude · Posted

      I've installed cheap eBay new aftermarket digitizers before.  They work.  Did a bunch of Cadillac CUE (aka Cadillac's MyLink) for someone years ago.  They all worked fine after the repair.    That number 22740886, that is a component part # for GM.  You can use it to search, but its not something that's obtainable at the dealer level.     So pretty much any of these will work - 2015 Colorado Digitizer for sale | eBay

      Exhaust heat while towing!

      By fondupot · Posted

      You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...
