Just got home with my new truck. Brand new 2012 GMC SLE 6.2 NHT extended cab, $32K + tax and DMV fees. Not nearly as many bells and whistles as the SLT but I'm happy with the deal, and it looks good in black!

 

When I was looking I was seeing used 2010 and 2011 prices for as much or more than what I paid depending on the package with low miles. I bet that truck will sell at that price given that it's a SLT crew with low miles. They seem to be hard to find unless you order a new one.

Go to the next GMC dealer down the road, look at a 2013 SLT. Tell them you are trading in the All Terrain mentioned above, but you left it at home that day. Ask what it is vaguely worth. Bet it will get your attention.

 

Last January there were left over 2011 Chevrolet 6.2's with Z71 package listed at $28,xxx plus ttl brand new. Granted, it is not the All Terrain package. I think deals are only going to get better through the release of the next generation being released. Just depends on what you HAVE TO HAVE options wise.

The 2011 I mentioned above was in Crystal Lake, IL & St Louis, MO. They were both extended cabs with cloth interior. One had the bench & the other had buckets/console. I live in the middle of IL, so that is the extent of the radius I was looking at.

 

I did not go in person, sooo they may have had some add on fee's or games to play. Just got the pricing over the phone.

I dont see many for sale around here. The local toyota dealer had one a few months ago listed at 39K (had like 10K miles)

That LTZ NHT CC down there cost 36k + fees new; if I were looking at the truck you mention (which has a few more options than mine), I would offer 32k with the intent of not paying a penny over 33.5k. Good luck with the deal. Cash is king.

Thanks for the replys. I offered 32 + TTL but they said they only make a couple hundred on each auto and 37 + TTL was the best they could do. It does have almost every option and is damn nice... I thought about calling back next week and offering 34 + TTL but I will prob just wait until 2013 to start looking for a nice 6.2 or a used 2011 dmax if I can find one for 35 or below.

 

I am curious about the 2014 trucks but I was going to buy in 2009 and I just can't wait much longer! :-)

I went to go buy that truck in Crystal Lake in mid February, had arrangements to meet with them in the evening, and they sold it about 3:30 in the afternoon.

 

It was a extended cab Z71 6.2 with cloth buckets & the body color grill but the single zone hvac and no steering wheel controls or DIC. Looked sweet. I wish I put a deposit on it over the phone.

 

Anyway ended up with a '12 Z71 LTZ in black so can't really complain.

      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.
