Now the big question. What is the mileage on these 8.1L 2 wheel drive with a 3.73 rear end. Be honest now.
LOL

But as someone wisely posted recently 'what gm givith gm can takeith away'
So anyway maybe i can just focus on complaining about 'ugly black flairs' now -- but sure glad to have line drawn in the sand to put this ordeal to an end.
(:-) sorry ryan if your still reading these!! Better come back - Poca's not that bad--
2500HD 4x4 LT ExCab SB 8100/Allison/3.73 (IndigoBlu)-L18 M74 GT4 G80 VYU Z82 NZZ TP2 K47 K05 UY2)
September mrsp $37,255 and gms+3% Approx.$32,560 -
I guess they stick to the order date price don't they??

the ones I have seen look the same?

I have to admit at one point on the way back I got up to 80 mph on a flat section and the rig drove as smooth as most cars.
My only complaint is that this truck needs a larger gas tank. 26 gallons at 8 mpg means a lot of stops along the way (This trip it was not a problem since my wife is pregnant and we had to take a lot of rest stops along the way.)
but no matter - Just looked not as 'blunt' as the 'ado.
Thought someone might have noticed or my imagination??

So now I wonder if one wanted a more streamline appearance in the HD 'ado you could just put on the 'ado LD hood. So as to keep on topic, I thought the 'ado hood was deeper because of the 8100 engine. --Hmmmmmm!!

...Gimme a Chevy please....

I'm thinking 8.1 w/3.73
Dealer wanted:
MSRP $36,549
Add dealer markup $ 7,800
Total $44,349
I can't believe this stuff is going on. Well, it was a LT.
LOL
....order it in Cal and have it shipped.....
- Tim
thank goodness he's not in Fort Smith Arkansas
Tim
CA truck. Never in my life would I buy an over emissioned truck. Would rather buy for Washington or Oregon. Heck maybe I should get one from Vegas. Can justify the trip that way. Better yet, if the truck bash was there, I could buy one and drive it there...LOL!!

If so
Have question on bolting in the 5th wheel hitch (Reese 15000) in the short box.
I have an older 32'Hitchhiker so its pin is not as extended as new units.
Been looking at location dimensions and I need 49" from back window to pin location for 90 deg. Near as I've been able to measure PU's on dealers lots the rear axel sets approx. 43" from the window.
Friend pulls an Excell with a '00 F250 and has the hitch pin located 40 1/2" behind his window centered over axel and can (on flat ground) do the 90 deg. thing.
So I'm going to have to mount hitch pin aft of the Silverado axel by 6" or so or less if I'd be satisfied with 75 to 80 degrees of turn.
I have another friend that pulls about 29' with 1/2 ton Sierra mounted about 4" behind axel with 75 to 80 degrees of turn with no prolem so know I can do that also --
but do you have your dimension locations figured out??
75v
I did not hear of any rebates. The GMC site indicated 4.9 financing on vehcles from dealer stock. If there is anything else kindly let me know. Thanks.
a 8.1, hd, or diesel gm truck and you think the dealer is lying to you about the wait
Punch up WHEELS.COM they show all mfr.production
delays,deletion, plant shut downs etc.
If you want one NOW!! chevy dealer in albany ny has one
GMO GMS THEY LAUGHED !! POCO IS THIS OK ?
Ed
Mine won't be here for another three weeks but was going to look at the spare tire area with an electric fuel pump for transfer. Interested to see how you figure this out. Been practically living under some the dealer units on their lots after hours with picture under to see where to mount the thing.

on GMS GMO .They can refuse !! Go to GM Family Savings.com. for the details........

Thanx,

The Allison shifts really smooth, except when you are slowing down in Tow Mode - then it is pretty aggressive, which is fine with me. The pickup is very quiet with a nice solid ride, but not as rough as the Ford or the Corvette. The oil pressure surprises me a little in that when idleing it runs about 50 psi, and at 1500 runs about 75 psi. I only have 112 miles on it and 5.3 hours on the engine. I spent the whole weekend studying the manual - didn't get any work done at all except feeding the animals. I haven't got around to the OnStar yet.

Where did everybody go? I finally get my 8100/Allison HD and now nobody's around. Well I guess I'll just have to go out for a ride. Fill 'er up.

Well I will have had the truck for a week as of tommorrow.I should get a job at the dealership, two of my friends are so impressed with the 8100 that they are going to trade in their 00 6.0s for the HD. I really have to watch myself or I'm going to get a ticket. It's hard to keep my foot out of it,and I'm not a kid either.
My truck is a Silverado HD LS EXTCAB 4WD SB 8100/Allison/4.10, Pewter, Locking Differential, Skid Plate, Electric Shift, Trailering Package, Deep Tint Glass,& Marker lights.
I have had a sliding rear window added. I installed the TracRac system overhead racks and a aluminum diamond plate deep toolbox. Yesterday I ordered new tires to replace those wimpy 245s, I have GY ATs 285-75-16s going on next week. They will be going on blackwall out. I will be using the stock wheels to avoid the rubbing problems that people have had due to different the backspacing on some of the aftermarket wheels. I ordered a set of Westin step bars (black, I'm going for that silver and black look) and a full set front,hump & back of the HuskyLiners this morning.I bought this truck to be a work truck, but I am going to hang onto my 93 Dodge 250 4x4 to use for jobsite cleanup etc.I would have a hard time throwing 2x4s and sheetrock out a second floor window into the back of that HD.
I haven't kept track of my gas mileage, but so far it doesn't seem to be much worse than my old truck. After I get 1000 miles or so on it I will post my mileage.BTW regular is $2.09 per gallon here on the island.
It's good to see that some people still hang out at this topic.
Good Luck to all of you with your trucks.

LOYALGMCGUY - I hope I do as well, I will be very happy. I only have 260 miles on mine, so don't know how it is checking out. Yes, I too wish it had a bigger tank.
Cowboyjohn
I was about to give up but good things come to those who wait.
Dogman... tell me about your sliding window.. electric or manual? Got a web site address?
