Yes the Bose is order code: UQA
 
The deliveries will start in February from the factory. So I think March is probably right!

Chrmdome, why 10 to 12 weeks? I ordered a 07 extended cab LTZ package with the 6.0 on Dec 26 and my dealer here in Neb said 4 to 6 weeks.

I actually saw a couple test mules in AZ while I was there for Christmas. Ex-Cab models of both the Sierra and the Silverado.
 
Pretty imposing beasts. The grill on the GMC was like a huge gaping mouth ready to swallow you whole. Not that they were bad mind you... just big and imposing, a looking ready to do what they need to do. Tow and haul.

I too was concerned about the 80's problem with the 8/4 cylinder effort. I posed this question to the local GM service manager and was advised the old problem with that system was oil was not being distributed to the cylinders properly when 4 cylinders shut down. The new system is totally redesigned and is warranted for 100,000 miles.
 
Regarding the 4.8 versus the 5.3 with fuel management. I had an 05 Silverado with the 4.8 and had all the power I needed. Average gas mileage was 17.5. Now I have the 2007 Silverado with 5.3 and fuel management (2,000 miles) and have an average MPG of 14.5. You do the math. I drive alot of highway miles and do not pull anything.

You will get better mpg after it gets broken in. My buddy at work is only getting 13.1 mpg in his 06' Toyota on the highway. Is your Silverado shutting down to 4-cylinders on cruise control ?????

Local Dealer says gas mileage should improve at 5,000 to 7500 miles.
Yes, at cruise when on a level ground, the system shuts down to 4 cylinders. But as soon as there is a slight grade or head wind it is back to 8 cylinders.

Yeah the DOD system I heard is quite sensitive. I'd like to see GM improve the sensitivity of this system. The good thing is this fall the 2-mode will be available and should jump fuel economy gains to 25 mpg avg. 30 mpg might be possible on a level street with the 2-mode and DOD.
