I think that is about the right price for it, maybe even less. Definitely wouldn't go up. Trucks similar to that (maybe minus leather) are a dime a dozen especially if you aren't worried about mileage.

Agreed. High mileage trucks are easy to find, and a great bargain if you don't mind having to fix some things or catch up on neglected maintenance.

lol. no kidding. I think 10K is fair for that truck. It has what I want in a truck. heated leather, 4x4 ext cab.

 

Then there was no reason for this thread unless you just wanted to show off who you get to spend 10k on.. I mean with :lol:.

I sold my 1st one at 136k miles. I still see it on the road assuming its got 200k by. Expect a new transmission maybe not right away but before 200k for sure. These engines are good for well over 200k miles imo. I paid 17k for my white truck in my sig with 27k miles. To me the way a truck holds its value, if your getting a loan for it get a truck with under 60,000 miles. The older I get the less I like fixing other ppls maintenance issues. I'm only 26 lol. Ive seen trucks for 10k with less than 100,000. I sold my 2000 for $7500 with 136k miles on it (description in sig) that was almost 4 yrs ago. Find something with a hair under 100k miles. 24,000 is 2 more years of driving.

The NADA book said that truck has a clean retail of $10275.00. I couldn't get the Car Fax to work on that truck. I would definately ask for a Car Fax report. Although Car Fax dosen't always give true mechanical reports it will show if the truck has ever ben in a accident, or has ever had body repair......I would start at 9000.00 if I really wanted the truck...

CarFax will only show information that has been reported to it. If somebody crunched a fender and paid for the repairs out of pocket, that will not show up on CarFax. CarFax has also been know to get bad data when it comes to odometer readings too.

 

It may be a good guide but CarFax should not always be the sole reason to make a final buying decision.

 

I would ask the dealer if you can take the truck to an independent auto repair shop for a Used Vehicle Inspection. These typically will cost $100 to $150 but you get a disinterested party to look at it and give you a written report of the trucks condition. It's cheap insurance especially if they find something and you take that back to the dealer and use it in price negotiations.

Good point about CarFax - I have seen where numbers in the VIN have been entered wrong at a repair shop and it be on the wrong vehicles CarFax - one I know of was a new truck setting on a local dealers lot and it stated the truck had a new engine in it. Then looking into it deeper the truck had been sold by another lot about seven months prior and had been blown up by the customer. So I agree do not let CarFax be your decision maker - take it to a qualified mechanic and have them go over it.

That truck looks familiar. I am driving a Pewter version of it with 145k miles. $10k is more than fair.

Yeah I'd say its fair....Price on that truck here would be around the 18K mark..negotiable. So you could potentially get it for 14K in Canada...Which seems right on par as our vehicles are priced about 25-30% higher than yours.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
