Dealership finance offices have two interest rates. The "buy rate" and the "sell rate" The buy rate is what the loan costs them from the financial institution. The sell rate is what they sell it to you for. So as mentioned above, they offer you a loan at 5% APR, the bank sold the dealership the loan @ 4.5%. So the dealership is now pocketing 1/2% interest on your purchase. If you decide to finance, ask them their buy rate on the loan. With the structure of auto loans nowadays, cash really doesn't matter.

2024 High Country-No Audio
pigpen23 replied to CRApex's topic in 2020-2024 Silverado HD & Sierra HD Troubleshooting
While in park with the truck running, hold the end call/mute button on the steering wheel for approximately 10 seconds until the radio goes blank and does a forced restart. See if that does anything to fix your problem. -
Terry, thanks for the PM discussion. Still have not decided. For now, I'll be towing my 25' TT to the Sierras for some trout fishing/camping. It's a big rig for solo traveling, but I already have it and it is comfy! The advantages for fishing and a TT is you can drop the TT and set up as a base camp and use truck for getting to fishing locations. Pros/Cons for camper vs TT when it comes to fishing. Ex. If I had a camper I would need to break down camper in the early AM as i drive to fishing locations....each day. Decisions, decisions.... I, too, do not like the idea of removing my MP tailgate when I use a camper. One manufacturer suggested leaving tailgate in down position.....not sure I like that idea. Sounds like the MP tailgate and the Cirrus 620 would make a great package!

They like to keep secrets lol

You can second guess until your blue in the face...at the end of the day you already own the truck. Hook up and go, see what you find out. It's not like you bought the trailer without a truck and have to make a decision on gas vs diesel. You have the perfect situation on your hands. Your current truck is safely capable, is it comfortable? That's the question...only you can answer that, not us knuckleheads on the internet.

That’s fine. Just wondering why GM doesn’t sell the ZR2 uppers with the DSSV struts or even mention them?

Def need a higher angle BJ. Lotta companies make Heavy duty BJ's using moog's. Dirt King makes good quality ones, Icon has their delta joints in tube or billet. And I think Bilstein makes a BJ one as well as a few others. https://dirtking.com/collections/silverado/products/ball-joint-upper-control-arms-dk-636901

Well I would keep an eye on the lot of my favorite dealer in case a 3500 SRW Duramax with all the features you want becomes available. But... if you don't see anything that is a great deal or has every feature you want wait until you get the 5th wheel, tow it behind your current rig and see how you feel. Make sure to hook it up on windy days, take it up a few hills (I do see you're in Texas so no big climbs nearby but plenty of wind!) and make up your mind. It's good that you have the gas truck first so you don't have to guess how well it will pull the trailer. You may also want to do some mileage checks to see how far a tank of gas will take you pulling the new trailer. You will get farther with the diesel if you go places where range between stops is an issue like boondock camping.

TB doesn't add wheel travel though. Just lift. ZR2 has an extra 2" of travel over the TB. Longer shock, need more BJ angle and caster
-
To me it comes down to exactly one thing... how much do you like hearing a gas engine rev for hours on end? I went from a 1/2 ton 5.3 to a 1 ton diesel, the 1 ton feels a little more secure towing our travel trailer but the ride is punishing so that was a wash. Fuel mileage is the same towing, though unloaded I can get slightly better mpgs out of the 1 ton (until it does a regen). Practically speaking the gas engine would be fine, but in the back of your mind the the diesel will be calling out.

2024 Transfer Case Seal Leak
Tater86 replied to Tater86's topic in 6.6L Gas V8 & HD Transmission Powertrain (L8T/MYD)
Did you have Michelin tires? I had to have two of mine replaced under warranty to coming from the factory bad. -
Bought the truck back in 2019. It’s a Chevy trailboss custom 2019. I had a friend put on a rough country leveling kit sku# 1323 I believe it’s just the spacer. This was back in 2022. 30k more miles down the road I had upper control arm ball joint come apart on the road. It is the stock control arm that came with the truck. Looks like now I will be replacing it myself. I think the truck comes stock with a 1.5 higher in the front plus I believe the spacer adds an extra 2 inches. I’m not sure if I am right or not. Please let me know. I will now need new control arms that will better fit my truck. Not looking to break the bank. But if someone can help me out with this and offer any advice that would be great. Thanks you

KARNUT started following 2020 Silverado 6.2 a quart of oil every 1000 miles?
-
I half throttle my rides at least at take off. Just barely below the traction control intrusion. I like the sensation of speed. I don’t go over the speed limit. I just get there quick. The one most people don’t expect it from is pretty fun. The odyssey, I had no idea it was so quick. I have one road that’s full of lights, has 4 lanes and a 60 mile per hour speed limit. It’s on the way back from my walking track. It seems Ram drivers are the most aggressive. I love surprising them with the Honda. Once they catch up we’re at the speed limit. My wife’s Genesis is the fastest of my 4 and a hemi killer, you’d never know. My brother had a 2010 challenger. We used to line up new rides for the test. The Genesis-Hemi Challenger race in 2011 was a surprise for everyone. I later bought a Genesis coupe instead of a Hemi Challenger as my mid life crisis car. I can floor my avalanche all day long and wouldn’t get in any trouble. Especially since it’s the first without loud exhaust. So as I make my way to the 200K mile mark it will be interesting to see if my break in process or driving style is detrimental.

Amylcar started following 14-18 silverado power heated/cooled seats retrofit HELP
-
My 2019 with 48k on it stays full. When I got it brand new, I drove it like I did with any of my other vehicles. No break in, just got in and went. The fact that the 6.2 has so much power, it was hard to keep it out of the redline. Anyway, I changed the factory oil out at 500 miles, installed AMSOIL's OE 0w-20 and went to 1,500 miles, again with the OE 0w-20 and then went to 3,000 miles. Then installed AMSOIL's Signature Series 0w-20 and now following my used oil analysis for changes. Currently going 10k on a change. No oil usage at all. Now I do drive in manual mode and select L9. Have been since I purchased the truck. This keeps auto stop and DFM off. I also run a bottle of AMSOIL's P.i. every 4k miles as well as mix E85 fuel in with regular. I fill 10 gallons of E85 and then fill the rest of the way up with regular or premium. Have been doing that as well for over 40k miles. No issues. I want to convert it to flex fuel but for now the cost isn't worth it. Hoping down the line that cost will go down.

DwDrummer started following 24 Sierra Denali drop shackle vibration
-
I have a brand new Sierra Denali that I had a set of Maxtrac drop shackles put on to take the rake out but like a lot of people here I have the annoying vibration from 28-22MPH on deceleration, and have noticed the longer I drive the truck the worse it gets. Looking through the drop shackle thread below I noticed that some trucks have factory shims that can be turned to fix the issue however my truck does not have them. I like the look it gives the truck but was wondering if anybody on here has a Denali or a Sierra that did not come with factory shims that has come up with a fix besides removing the drop shackles? I will say it does not have the vibration if I put it in neutral. I will post a link to the shackles that I used. Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks! https://maxtracstore.com/2019-2023-chevy-gmc-1500-w-adaptive-ride-control-2-rear-drop-kit-maxtrac-712120mr/
