I just recently bought a 23 custom thinking about doing the rear fender liners. So far the fronts have been doing great so I think it would be a welcome addition. Going to watch that video now. Thanks.
Very cool! They were a must on mine since it's white. It just looked odd with black front and then white in the rear. So much better now and it was a pretty easy job.
I ran over this earth buying that 2” hitch adaptor one morning when I went to move my trailer one day realizing I had left my big hitch elsewhere. Got all packed up and lift the seat and there is the apparently included adaptor. Doh. Well now I have a spare I guess.
Feel your pain. Ordered my 2022 2500 Custom on September 9th. Just got it kast week. But glad I waited. Love rhe truck so far (hope it doesn't change lol)
@@M85Iroc I know it sucks.....but for me it was worth the wait. Just picked up our new 5th wheel yesterday. Cameo 3701RL. Can't wait for our first outing.
I ordered mine 1st weekend of August 2021 and it arrived 1st weekend of October 2021. It seems that after that point a lot of things went south delivery-wise. The salesman said I was lucky to get it so quickly. I have the LT trim package. It has the power driver's seat but I passed on the 5th-wheel prep package and the parking assist sensors. Love the truck so far and am coming up on 15,000 miles.
Hey Jim, good vids… Be sure to clean the MAP sensor on top of the L5P motor. They really get sooted up. Mine was a mess. That sensor really affects engine performance & towing. Change your engine air cleaner while at it. Diesels need a lot of air!
Good video. They extended my order another 8 weeks because of parts shortages. I won't see my 2022 2500HD WT Crewcab 4x4 6.6l gas, until the end of June. Longer if they don't get parts.
I'm waiting for the 2024, because they redid the interior and also a 10 speed transmission. I always had the LT'S, but wouldn't mind the custom 2500 gas with a few options I would change.
I'd have to drive a gas with a 10 speed to see if I'd like it. The power band on a diesel is all down low so at 3000 rpm it's changing gear to stay in the power band. With a gas engine the power band is much higher so the shift points will be drastically different I would think. Looking forward to checking it out though :). Thanks!!
Thanks for sharing your video with experienced comments. I too own a 2020 2500 in an LT model, yet with the 6.6L gas engine and soon to be discontinued 6 spd. I love my truck too for many reasons and it runs buttery smooth and one can even hear a subtle muscle car sound muted only by the exhaust system. I hope the version of Allison 10Spd. which they plan to incorporate with the gas engine turns out reliable and all as it is not 100% the exact same as the diesel version. Having 20k miles on mine, it’s been totally reliable and strong for the tasks I’ve demanded of it and gets good-great gas mileage for such a powerful truck. PS, they need to completely upgrade the seats; make them less hard/stiff and simply more comfortable for a long haul ride; Hey GM if you’re listening, be the 1st to offer and Air-ride seat option 💡as I’d be one of the first to buy one (replace mine).
Thank you so much for your comments. I just hit 40k on mine and I still love it. I bet that gas version does sound nice!! I'm with you on that air-ride seat as well :)
Im loving the fuel filter setup on these new trucks vs the older version..and they come with a factory lift pump👍.. As far as the brakes, i have a 2500 & 3500 and the brake squeal is stupid, there is a tsb issued and im having my pads replaced under warranty on both trucks..
Nice Info&☆Stuff To Know, Thanks , i`~Wish i` Had 1, Vg Trucks, i` Entered the Hodgetwins Truck Giveaway, Lol , Thought it ?might Be Good Luck This Vid, Just Pop'd Up, Lol. Thanks Again, Peace ✌.
The thumping is likely fuel sloshing around. Mine does it too. Definitely the fuel sloshing around for me. Stops when I have a full tank and minimizes below a half tank. Absolutely at it's worst at 3/4 of a tank. Initially I thought spare tire too but it was absolutely secure and I could actually recreate the thump from fuel tank by rocking the truck from the outside and listening to it.
Hmmm I'll have to give that a shot. My thumping is more a single thump though not a back and forth thumping like I would think that a fuel tank would sound like. I'll give it a shot though :) Thanks!

@@MidnightRoadGarage I rarely feel the subsequent 2nd thump. In fact I never knowingly felt it until I knew it was the fuel tank and then was on the lookout for the slosh back. Is your thump felt if you you attempt to accelerate but then brake quickly? Pay attention to fuel levels too.
@@samgford my tank is almost always somewhere between half and full so its in your sweet spot a lot. Definitely happens when stopping but I'll have to pay more attention to if it follows acceleration. Thanks!
@@MidnightRoadGarage not sure if I was clear but it only happens on braking for me too. I can get it to happen consistently and loudly by briefly tapping the accelerator and then braking quickly. That was how I knew it didn't take much motion to cause it and started to rock my truck back and forth will parked. It caused the exact noise in the tank while I did that.
Nice real world review. I came very close to buying a truck almost exactly like that last November but I decided to wait for the LT 6.6 gas I had ordered to come in. It did in December and I’ve got just over 7,000 miles now. These new 2020 HDs are impressive in my opinion.
I just subscribed to your channel. Do you tow a lot with this truck ? I’ve been considering a duramax but I don’t tow heavy loads all the time but when I do , they weigh my 1500 down pretty good.
I tow pretty regularly with it. Cars and trucks on a car trailer mostly as well as giant blue tanks on trailer (you might be able to see those in this video but if not you'll see them in other videos for sure). It doesn't really notice they are back there. I had a 2004 Duramax before this and it was the same way. I was so happy with the way it towed that when the time came I had to replace it with another one. Zero regrets. Tows great!
Or perhaps just let people buy what they want to buy :) ? No need to get upset that people buy Custom's over LT's. I don't think Jesus cares what trim level you get either. He might even prefer Rams.

Hey Jim. Good videos. I also bought the 2023 hd custom. Good truck so far
Glad to hear you are enjoying your new truck!
I've had several make a thumping noise at about 40 to 50 mph
Good video.
Thanks!
I’m looking to buy one here soon. What did you mean by the way the brakes work? Are they harder to stop or just take longer?
U did a good job with this video
Thanks!
Thanks, GREAT INFO!.
You're welcome!

Great video Man…just hit 20.000 on my 2021 breaks annoying but it’s a great truck! Enough bells and whistles for me and can pull anything I need.
Thanks man! They are beasts for sure!!
Thanks man! They are beasts for sure!!
Thanks Jim for taking the time to do this review. My 2022 Custom Duramax is my favorite truck so far. Don't need all the fancy shit as Iget older.
Right? Who needs it? I love my Custom. It's got just the right amount of features for me as well.
I'm looking to buy a very similar truck. Is the ride quality good? Thanks
@@alittlebitofeverything5090 The ride quality is every bit as good or even better than the 2018 Toyota Tundra Platinum that I had before.
@@plumber802 Thanks for the reply. That's impressive

Thanks and thats awesome! You've got a great taste in recipes and a great taste in trucks!
I love the design of the Silverado HDs as well.. including the side mirrors.

shake the box sideways the springs make clunk noise, they all do it, oil stops it for a while, don't listen for it,forget it.

@@jesseloescher9891 89% on the front and 93% on the back and it's just over 37k
Stop buying base model customs. It’s a little more a month SO WHAT, buy an LT Jesus. 60k$ and people wanna ride around in a taxi cab interior
Or perhaps just let people buy what they want to buy :) ? No need to get upset that people buy Custom's over LT's. I don't think Jesus cares what trim level you get either. He might even prefer Rams.
I built my LT online from
The factory. Alllllll the luxuries I wanted at a price of 58k.
I like cloth leather is cold in the winter and hot in the summer
