because they are a proven platform, and number 2 or 3 of best selling vehicles in america since they came out. you are correct about that, but to assume that GM would for some reason come out with a redesigned truck that no one likes or is somehow "inferior" to the 900 platform is just not smart.

You need to read my posts more carefully.

unless you want to save a decent chunk of change and get a new leftover at years end

 

 

and i would definatley stay away from AWD. my friend got a 2005 sierra denali a while back and obviously he cant drift or do donuts or burnouts when we go drive around and he regrets buying an AWD truck

 

 

Yeah thats what I regret if I do buy a AWD.

haha it sounds like a stupid reason to not buy a truck, but it is very very true

Too many options to choose from. I ruled out the Denali......Gonna get a SLT/LTZ. Like the Sierra fronts better than the Chevys. Or should I wait til another year & just wait til the new Gen comes out? I want opinions what you guys would do....

Wait a year. Right now the GMT900's are the oldest and most outdated trucks out there (between the Big 3).

Yup, they are due for a style change. Interior mostly. Even though I like mine and don't want anything really fancy, it's a little "old" looking compared to some.........Really want to see how improved the new models will be.

The money you save will be lost in resale value when the new ones come out.

 

Who buys a vehicule to sell it? And who buy's trucks for an inverstment? I got right around 12K off the MSRP on my 2010 leftover. IMO if the deals is right, there is a need for it and if you can find one that fits why wait? 1.5-2 years from now you should be at the break even or have some positive equity in it to trade up if you want.

true, but if you plan on keeping the truck for a long time then it would be a good idea

 

 

Only if you are willing to settle for an inferior truck for all those years.

 

What is it about GM trucks that you do like???

Right now? Not much. I liked the previous gen trucks much better and I do have hope that the next gen trucks will be light years better. The 900's were developed during GM's worst years ever.

You do have a point.

    • Around 2008 if memory serves they took sulfur out. That was when diesel went up. 
    • Question for you Grumpy, why is diesel so much more than gasoline? Seems to me that it may be slightly a little less refined than gas and it doesn't have 10% alcohol which presumably lowers the price of gas
    • Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?
    • How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit. 
    • Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that?
