2024 Silverado 2500HD 6.6 Gas Work Truck Window Sticker Review

[@odelldickey2218]

Thanks Joe for this extremely informative video. You Sir are a man that is competent , knowledgeable, dedicated, and a-straight shooter that tells it like it is. I appreciate your time in making these videos, Thanks Again . American Iron all the way!

[@matthewanderson9912]

It’s amazing how far along the WT trim has came. That is a good looking truck and would easily be considered loaded as recently as about 10 years ago. Very nice build for sure. When I ordered my 2022 LT I didn’t realize the mirrors with the auxiliary lighting and power fold option was an actual option. I can just kick myself over that one. 100% agree about the cab lights. And another low cost option that should just be standard is the HD Front Springs/Camper package. It’s $45 to get a better front axle rating and be rated for a truck bed camper.

Thanks for the information. Nice to hear from an expert.

Outstanding video and information wish you was here in Illinois we need a good dealer that looks out for the customer

[@truckguyjoe]

Thanks 👍

Any exciting medium duty builds in the works? Always enjoy seeing what you do with those. The one you sold me is still doing great. Thinking about another one. Thanks as always for the great content.

[@truckguyjoe]

Hey Dave! Glad you’re enjoying the truck! Yes, more builds on the way.

[@secondmouse9458]

Whenever I see a regular cab with an 8 foot bed I tell my son "look there, that's a REAL pickup truck", he thinks I'm strange but maybe someday he'll get it if he ever needs the utility of a truck like this.

[@LynxStarAuto]

Got to admit, the 2500's are a pretty solid deal.

[@user-ix4dl1dy7q]

Wish I would have got my truck thru you.

[@michaelobrien3758]

My Chevy dealership wouldn’t build me a 3500 so I went to gmc. I hear you on electric and snow plowing . Some big storms out 30 hrs or more I don’t see how an electric truck would be able to work. Nice Chevy I have a 2018 3500 6.0 and love it. Plow it work it never had a problem.

[@Freedomrider1685]

I have a 19 6.0 with 130,000 staring to get a whine when I am on the gas

[@evanch123456]

Awesome video! Would it be possible to do another video when it gets the plow and strobes?

[@truckguyjoe]

Yep! That is the plan. I'd like to feature the truck once it's ready for the customer.

[@evanch123456]

[@jimmckillip7975]

Great video and I toldly agree with you about electric trucks no good

[@jackefrost]

Joe as always love the content and info you put out wish i had trusted my gut and got my 2015 undercoated everyone said not to you don't need it .well it needs it just curious on gvw on them up hear in MA they require a commercial inspection for trucks over 10,001 lbs and i suppose everywhere you need a medical card for just driving a 3/4 or 1 ton pickup just seams like so many grey areas. So how do you spec out a truck that requires non of that ? so what really changes in the gvw name tag on weight ratings is it just in name onlyso for example the 10k gvw has the same equipment as say the 10,650 gvw?

[@truckguyjoe]

Same equipment… But you can derate the truck to 10,000 GVWR. That seems to be the threshold across the country. I sell a lot of Express 3500 single rear wheel cutaway Box Trucks because they are 9900.

[@truckguyjoe]

It will cost you payload when you de-rate. So there is a trade off.

[@bartanderson6476]

Would love to see it after the plow and auxiliary lights go on. Have you heard the heavy dutys are going electric?? I thought they were gonna leave those alone...

[@truckguyjoe]

Rumor has it they may offer a limited number of gas & diesel options, but boy they sure are ramping up and pushing electric. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@skimills94080]

Thanks for the video. Can a WT like that be ordered with a power driver seat? I think the previous years you could.

[@truckguyjoe]

3500HD regular cab and crew cab, as long as it's a cab & chassis...yes...but for whatever reason, you can only get the power seat on a regular cab pickup if it's a 2500 or 3500 LT trim.

[@nebraskaresident6654]

Joe, would you mind scanning this window sticker or sending me the build specs. The one I’m buying doesn’t have all 5his and this one is built perfect exactly the way I need it. This would help because I can’t see the sticker on the video as well as you’re moving swiftly. Or order one!

[@truckguyjoe]

Plesse email & I’ll send you the build sheet: [e-mail]

[@coolftp]

Does Chevrolet still offer the 10,000 GVWR option for the 2500 or is it gone?

[@truckguyjoe]

Still available… I have several that were ordered that way. A couple of gas & diesel 2500 4x4.

[@bowtie092]

Hey joe. On the fence about ordering an HD, do you think they will ever offer a 4.10 to compete with FORD and RAM? Do u think it needs it? Like the 4.30 with the Ford 7.3 GAS Excellent channnel BTW. Great dedication and Info!

[@truckguyjoe]

Maybe eventually they will offer the max trailering package for the gasoline engine along with the 4.10. I personally think the 4.10 would help with towing even though it has the 10 speed for this year… I am old school… I like a lower rear axle ratio to help get the load moving. First and second gear in the 10 speed are pretty low… But I always want a little more… I think everybody does. 2024 is the first year for the max trailer package available with diesel… It basically gives you one ton suspension on a three-quarter ton. But on the diesel with this package coming out the rear axle ratio did not change… No options… Looks like we may be stuck with 3.73 for the gas… And 3.42 for diesel.

[@bowtie092]

Thank you VERY much for the prompt response!@@truckguyjoe

[@pryme2013]

Man, 53k msrp on this? My 22 2500 crew cab w/t had a msrp of 51 and that’s with all these options plus the 5er package. Mine doesn’t have the chrome bumpers though or rear park assist, thankfully. Also dude, fluid film doesn’t eat the wax off. I can tell you that first hand.

[@persistentwind]

Where's the rear fender liners? - agree w you on powering the upfitter switches. And 45$ for 2 more key fobs... wish I could do that w my Audi!

[@Itsa_Mea]

4:30 He explained that.

[@persistentwind]

@@Itsa_Mea surely he said it and I totally missed it... I didn't realize that was dealer installed! Thanks for the point out!

[@truckguyjoe]

The fender liners are not standard equipment on the work truck package. Some of my customers add them...others don't...I feel they create a trap for moisture and dirt/mud/salt..etc...kind of like a plastic drop in bedliner. I do have some purchasers that will have the rear wheel wells sprayed with Linex.

[@pryme2013]

@@truckguyjoeThis doesn’t even make sense, sorry. Where exactly will the liners “trap” moisture? I have a 22 2500 and added the rear liners. Couldn’t get the gm’s because they weren’t available anywhere so I went aftermarket. There is nowhere that anything gets trapped. What they will do though is provide chip protection which will lead to rust.

[@truckguyjoe]

@@pryme2013 The liner gets inserted up against the metal wheelhouse. Just like a plastic bed liner gets dropped in against the metal bed floor. You should see what is behind those liners if you remove them after a year. Dirt, debris, moisture gets trapped in there.

[@roadglide1142]

I bought a leftover 2023 Ram 2500 Tradesman single cab with all that equipment for $48K . 😊

[@truckguyjoe]

I have noticed that Stellantis has quite the overstock of trucks… Maybe they built too many? I haven’t had a new 2023 HD pick up in the last 8 months. I’ve also noticed they can only move them if they put huge rebates/discounts on them.

[@thegonz7833]

[@danielb-c9100]

Too do you still have your 2002 chevrolet silverado 8.1

[@truckguyjoe]

Still have it!!

[@danielb-c9100]

Yes

[@danielb-c9100]

Can I buy a chevy silverado forty five hundred or fifty five hundred for personal use

[@truckguyjoe]

Absolutely! I have sold several loaded up trucks to customers for private use. One customer custom ordered a LT chassis...crew cab...4x4...6500...with a polished aluminum dump body. He uses it at his camp for hauling the family, firewood, and plowing the driveway to the cabin (driveway is 1/4 mile long in the woods...we installed a 10' Fisher V Plow and boy does that truck clear a path)!

[@duggydo]

I am concerned that the motor will buildup carbon on valves because of direct injection without port injection to wash valves. You seen any of them with carbon problems yet? All the early ecoboosts seem to have that issue.

[@truckguyjoe]

This 6.6 gas engine has been out now going on 4 years. The majority of my commercial customers from 2020-2021 have 100K+ on their trucks (box trucks, cargo vans, stake beds, dump trucks). I can not say that we've seen issues due to direct injection carbon buildup or oil burning issues. Believe me...they call me first before they call the service department. I agree that DI can be problematic, but on the whole I would say this 6.6 engine overall had been a good performer and reliable.

[@larayfreed9722]

Krown doesn't work well either. We bought a 15 hd from you and been krown coated every year since new and the bed and frame look bad

[@truckguyjoe]

Not sure what to say… I’ve used it on my 2001 Silverado HD regular cab for the last 12 years… Has been fantastic. Even though the Krown is there… You still have to do your due diligence and give the trucks a thorough cleaning every spring as well as throughout the winter. Also depends on who’s doing the application… Not all applicators do the same thorough application.

[@liammaupin9492]

why not get a 3500 SRW?

[@truckguyjoe]

Great question! Historically I have sold this company Silverado 1500 4x4 Regular Cab V8's with 8' Bed. The 1/2 tons had enough payload for what they are hauling, and technically with the snow plow prep package, you can hang a smaller blade on a 1500. Considering the size of their lot, and for long term durability, it was only fitting I put them in a 3/4 ton for the sake of the larger frame, heavier front axle rating, bigger brakes, and the power needed to push a decent amount of snow..as well as a heavier transmission. If payload/tongue weight was a major concern, I would have put them in a SRW 3500. This 2500 has 3700lbs. payload, which met their needs no problem.
