Put a hold on it. Insurance should pay out next Tuesday ish. It is a better deal than used for the most part. Again not a truck guy but this should serve me well. I should be more excited. I'm not.

Congrats on moving on.
Regarding the replacement vehicle: What disappoints you with it; even a little bit?

Congrats. The 10AT should be quite an upgrade over your old truck?

That I had to get a new/different truck. The old one was perfect and paid for.

Yes. I drove it and it is a lot more truck. The 10 speed at least I have read is identical to the one in the diesel.

I have also seen reports of 19mpg on the highway

Nice looking truck!

This puppy ripped up the IKE Gauntlet on TFL. Very nice rig! I'm pretty sure the 2024 is going to have even bigger brakes than your previous rig, the L8T is still all iron block like the old gen ls work truck engines without the DOD or AFM, and you have a 10 speed now thats in the diesel. I like this truck!

I did see that test. Heaviest trailer I tow is 9000lbs. So it should serve me well. I can tell just from the test drive that the brakes are phenomenal

Excellent choice as noted by cdm1993! With all the emissions junk on 1/2 ton trucks 3/4t is the way to go. Exactly what I’d do…..

You'd think but i hate how the 10 speed in mine shifts. It takes it sweet time to upshift once you let off the gas and put it in cruise control. It just drones at 2k rpms before slowly upshifting once then again. When stomping it the engagement is definitely a little slower too. The lockup is quicker on my old truck.

Did you wear out your 17 Silverado 3500HD 6.0 already?

Different 10 speed and tunning.Only the Duramax and 6.6 gasser have the Allison.

Nope. Lol. They totaled it.

I had both a Tahoe and Yukon XL with the 6.2/10 speed combo and loved it. Put about 25k miles combined on the two and didn't have any complaints.

But yeah, as @ls1mike said, the HD 10 speed is a different unit.

Bitter sweet for sure. Maybe more bitter for you right now, though.

Did you get them down on price any? I've noticed prices aren't what they were, with some dealerships around here advertising below MSRP for the first time in 2+ years.

A little bit, best deal on this trim 3/4 ton truck in about 300 miles. No one could or would beat it.

Very nice choice.
