And this is why after owning a Dodge, Ford, GMC. and a Silverado, when I retired and NEED reliability for long road trips. I went out and got a 2021 Tundra old school V8. I did not want to be 2000 miles away from home worrying if my $70,000 lap top would start or leave me stranded. I took your advice after watching your Labrador trip. Let me tell you there is no better piece of mind knowing the Tundra will get me home. I have a 1794 TRD off Road it has enough bells and whistles for me. And what it lacks in tec I always have my i phone and I pad with me.

I too paid the crazy upcharge for the Black Bowtie package on my wife's Tahoe Premier. First thing I noticed when I got behind that wheel to drive it was the GOLD bowtie on the steering wheel. They should rename the package to the MOSTLY Black Bowtie package. For that amount of money it still irritates me every time I see it. Very nice truck, can't wait to see it with some proper all terrain tires on it.

My 2024 Silverado 3500 SRW had a steering fluid leak and oil leak with less than 500 miles. Had to get a new steering gear box and transmission oil cooler. Took 3 months to get the parts. I’m now at 3k miles with no further issues. I recommend you look for oil drips right above your blue oil filter. The oil cooler leak is fairly common.

Totally agree. Love the colum shifter on my 2024 2500HD. I also replaced my old Suburban but I bought a used 2018 Suburban with the column shifter rather than a 2024 Suburban just because I absolutely hate the buttons (I’ve had rentals with the buttons so I actually knew how much they suck). Anyhow. I’m waiting for the 2025s or 2026s to come out with the new shifter back on the column. It’s still all electronic but at least it’ll be on the column where it’s supposed to be.

My 2024 HD also died and you guys saved me! October 2023 build LT with Duramax and higher option level did the EXACT same no-start "whir-whir-whir" starter bit with a dash message about an emissions system fault. Just around 450 miles on the odometer and the thing died, right as I had to move trailers in the dark before weather came in. Disconnected the passenger side battery harness (positive terminal only that has about 6 different "trickle" connectors off of it) Waited 15 mins, then it fired right up first try. THANK YOU! My truck has done about 80% short trips and really needs a road trip to break in as yet. But something is definitely rotten in Flint on the computer handling the early break-in at least. To the GM team writing the code, there is a corner-case early life of unit BUG here guys! FWIW, the first thing the truck asked me to do was completely LOWER then RAISE my driver side window. It seems the engine starting code was confused about the status of the driver window that was about an inch open at the time of the issue. GO, ANALYZE, FIX IT!

I just turned over 10k on my 24' 3500 HC Duramax Midnight. Its been problem free so far and tows very well. My biggest complains about are all nit-picky, but noteworthy after having come from many Ram trucks over the last 20 years. No adjustable pedals, tach and speedometer are reversed, no turbo gauge, no gear indicator, no DPF indicator, no turning foglights, lack of rear floor storage, sound systems isn't as good as the 17 speak HK system and the steering wheel controls seem to be opposite of every other vehicle I've driven, meaning cruise control is normally on the right, radio on the left. The chevy is reversed.

Its very true, but I will tell you, very few people will know how to do this as simple as it is or know too. I totally get what the engineer says its a laptop on 4 wheels, because basically it is when everything is controlled by a computer, electronic sensor. My problem is the amount of money spent on these trucks people are going to be furious about having to do anything under the hood. Not that it happens often because I'm sure it doesn't but when it does, VERY unhappy people. So, I have a 2023 Silverado Trail Boss Custom and I cant be more happy about how it feels and drives. Never owned a Chevy, but its a really good sound truck so far even for a less optioned truck.

You will have to let us know how the Chevy exhaust brake works compared to your ram. Congrats again on your awesome new truck!!

Congrats on the truck. I took delivery of mine (3500 HD Crew Standard Box) a few months ago and have about 3500 miles on it so far. The power is good, but I actually preferred the power delivery of my 2017 better - it was a little more raw and snappy. I love most everything about the new truck, except a few nitpicky things, like the TOW/HAUL switch being placed low left of the steering wheel. IMO, it should be right next to the Exhaust Brake switch. Also, the Infotainment HOME button is placed such that it is not in view when the shift lever is in gear, so you have to look or feel for it. Otherwise, so far so good - I'll be loading my camper on and coupling the cargo trailer on this weekend and we'll see how it goes!

If they're still wax dipping their frames, I'd pay attention to that. It flakes off ridiculously easily. I've even seen examples of brand new GM trucks with rust already forming underneath the coating, perhaps from moisture getting trapped before being dipped, idk. My 2016 Silverado 1500 has been Krowned since new yet still developed rust on the frame in the wheel well areas. Huge advantage to Ford and Ram's ecoating with our climate. I'm not sure how well oil based undercoatings adhere to the wax coating, either. I've seen an awful lot of late model GM trucks with really ugly frame rott.

Tried to charge me $499 tech inspection fee even though it was still in warranty. Once I got it home, traded it in for another brand.
