Taking delivery of a 2022 Chevy 3500HD

[@YanilMiami305]

My 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 been running strong 92k miles and no issues besides a soot sensor 💪 I use it for hotshot always pulling 20k or more lbs trailer and load weight combined. I also take care of it oil changes and fuel filter changes 10k. Speaking of RAM I just seen 3 of them broke down on side of the road today on I95 north 🤣😅😂

He already found a pole to hit! I think you should do a video in about another 5 months and just chronic the damage to the vehicle.

[@jhovannyibarra3737]

I bought a chevy 2013 2500hd and I haul often and I mostly only put highway mileage on it. It now has 230,000 miles on it and it runs like a beast haven’t had any major issues just needs the regular maintenance.

Why would the driver even leave it in Cruise control Mode to go up a hill/mountain. I feel it waste more diesel and I feel like it over works the transmission

[@joseh5090]

Inexperienced driver

[@romanbutler3973]

He obviously isn't a trucker pulling hills in cruise control, learn the basics he will destroy that truck in due time

[@TheLegendaryt2]

I don't like the constant hunting a transmission does in cruise. However for the most part I accelerate a bit to get momentum to get over the hill not to lose too much speed so it never gets into gear hunting. Steep hills I let it do it's thing as long as it doesn't upshift. I always cancel cruise on downhills

[@plumber802]

LOL Alex, the 10 speed "Allison" transmission on my 2022 Duramax Custom trim Silverado is one of it's BEST features. Oh and going 30K miles without any emissions issues shows that GM is finally getting the emissions system figured out.

[@jamesrichardson559]

It is not an Allison manufactured transmission. Look it up. GM by agreement was able to use the name.

I bought a 21 silverado basically the same as this. With a flatbed (steel). I too wanted the aluminum but it is a lot more expensive. But so far hauling it's been great. Hopefully will continue to be good.

Buddy bought a 2016' Duramax and it is deleted and tuned, but past that bone stock, first brake job at 350K miles, it's a dually and he pulls camper trailers out of Indiana, 450K miles to date and still going strong, and looks brand new, stay strong

I bought a 2500 & 3500 chevy.. pretty happy with them, my only complaint is the seats suck, i just bought one of those purple seat cushions from loves and its fine now.. i also did cognito leveling kits and yellow bilstein shocks.. its a huge improvement for little $

[@2020HotShotTruckingLLC]

I bought the CM ALRD aluminum flatbed for my F350 Dually. Cost just under $4k in 2019. Absolutely love it! I added 30" tool boxes and mudflaps, and currently have a tool box on top instead of an aux fuel tank. May change that soon though. It came with a fixed 30K rated GN ball in a well, and the bumper pull hitch is rated for 18.5K. Total weight of the bed itself is 597 Lbs. which is less than the factory bed, not to mention with a factory bed you have to add hitches which adds about 150 Lbs. If my insurance works out I will be buying a semi soon and then will sell the truck and bed. May sell them separately since I kept the factory bed. If I do, I'll email you first to see if you would want it. I imagine the flatbeds are like the trailers and have doubled in price too.

[@ARuralVermonterQqjmcb182]

Give it a chance, and it will last longer than your fords or dodges with that drivetrain, the 10 speed is actually great it is not gms terrible 10 speed, it’s Allison inspired. Yes it is half assed some places like all chevies but where it matters (drivetrain) it is bulletproof. Just delete it asap

[@ARuralVermonterQqjmcb182]

That isn’t a bump stop on GM it is Jounce Bumper and designed to be a part of the suspension and eventually they will be gone and you have to replace them.

It’s it bad to tow in Cruise control?

[@TowPiglet]

[@brkapp]

it wont regen when your parked unless you use the obd2 port and do a forced parked regen. the reason it wont complete and it will fail a regen is parked and not under load the exhaust temps dont burn hot enough since the truck is not under load so it doesnt burn off the soot properly

[@wva_trucks2336]

I have a 22 however I love it, it functions amazing and I like the look, personal preference I guess however it’s a higher trim with the gas engine because I tow lighter loads and didn’t want emissions.

[@TXReb06]

First, I really enjoy your passion and your videos. I'm not a fan boy of any one manufacturer of truck, I seek out the best of the best. To your points about the windows, I am sure there is a logical reason for no auto up. Likely to avoid the frustration of people doing auto up when all they want to do is leave a crack open on the window. Maybe this is something their research groups found in owners/prospective owners of this class of truck. There has to be a reason for it. There may also be the probability of turning the feature on via something like Alpha OBD or maybe in the setting of the dash. You may say why do you have to do that, just think of it as part of the outfitting process. The point about the rear seat removal. Sure it's more diffcult, and how often are people taking their rear seats out? It's just a quirck. I'd be curious to look at other trucks on the bumpstop. Transmission on hills, be pro-active and lock out the top gears with a gear your comfortable with not going higher. I believe all transmissions are learning, and you're not in the mountains all day, most of your driving is likely on little elevation change and it's doing what it's historically been adapted too. GM hevy has an 8th/9th injector in the exhaust pipe for active regen. RAM active egens by injecting additional fuel into the drive cycle during the exhaust stroke of combustion, not ideal.

My only complaint about a GM, if it worked as intended, would be the suspension. Fords use to be a little hard on my back but it's been some years since I've been in one and way longer since I've driven one. I love a GM. They're a pleasure in traffic but their suspensions are garbage at highway speeds going through mountains. Especially in dangerous weather. Dodge makes a total goat for handling. It pays off in emergency situations. I'm not entirely sure what it would take to make that suspension a good one. I'm sure it could be done. For the money you could be driving a modified pre 1994 truck with all the goodies.
