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:

      Trans Cooler Thermostat Valve Body Seals - 2022 10L80

      By Rick_ · Posted

      Does anyone know if the GM 85628205 and 85628208 are interchangeable?   The 85628205 is an assembly of the seals mated to a thin metal shim and the 85628208 appear to be just the rubber seals without being an assembly. The reason I am asking is that I'm installing a PPE Thermal Bypass Valve and it doesn't come with seals.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thanks @newdude, guess I'll keep looking.  Test driving so many trucks that have obvious things broken, I'm thinking "if they couldn't even be bothered to fix the power seat," what else is broken".   Just drove a 2021 where the power seat motor was grinding/binding and wouldn't do anything but make a terrible sound.   An owner that puts dents on the bumper, doesn't fix a seat motor, and had spotty service intervals (along with missing major services) doesn't give me the best of confidence.   Amazed at the number of people that will finance a $60k+ truck, run it into the ground, then trade with a loan balance (every single one had "loan/lien reported" on the CARFAX at the last year of registration).

      Not true! I have been runing them since 2006 F250! suspension component that works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring points directly to the RoadActive Suspension (RAS) kit. Works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood.

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck
