so I'm in the market for a newer (2008-2010) Chevy truck and I had a friend who is a service writer at a GM dealership tell me the 6 speeds are the way to go but I'm having trouble figuring out how to tell over the internet with trucks have 4 speed in which ones have 6 speeds. is there anything I can look at to be sure which one has which what I'm searching for Trucks that are 500 miles from my home. Different shifter? Vin number etc.... thanks!!!

Don't buy a 2008 as they were not in those trucks. Buy a 2010 up CC or E. Cab with 5.3L engine as the six-speed automatic transmission was made standard. Not sure about Reg cabs but I think they were 6-sp also 2010+
2007 up Denali had the 6sp 6L80
Trans is not coded on the VIN.
Shifter looks the same until the engine is on.
Here is what the 6-sp dash reads, note "PRNDM", M stands for Manual shifting of the 6 sp. key on to see this. This is dash of 2010 GMC Sierra E cab
