Picked up a leftover 2023 Chebby (really an International with a Chebby cab) after my 2016 Denali HD decided to lunch the TCC in the 6L90 after 55K miles...

Should pull my Jet boat OK.. Yeah Yeah I gotta cut the extra threads off the ubolts and cut the thread lead in's but hey the stance is good after a 3" lift... prolly go +1 or +2 on the rubber at some point...

oh and ride is a fair bit better than the Denali via longer wheel base and Air ride cab mounts...

Real Dirtymax and a Real Allison 1750 trans all the rest of the running gear is Dana/Spicer and Meritor. They used the cab from a 15-19 2500 HD and I got the LT+ trim so the interior is the same as my Denali minus the leather seats (Katskins is fixing that), no dual zone AC and no sliding rear window or sunroof which are things i can live without in the FLA sun. 9200Lbs empty... factory derated to 14,001 GVW so i can pull a bigger trailer, GVCW 34,000
