You should have taken the dealers deal. I just went through BBB. I was given MSRP trade and pay the difference if the new one was more money. no deduction for mileage. rebate cannot be applied. I had 4000 miles on mine when I gave it back. I was glad for this deal after seeing how much loss there was if I tried to trade it on something else.

Well folks, I did it. After all the failed attempts at the Chevy dealer I traded it in for a 2015 Ram 1500 Larame. I have to agree with the other folks on here that have done the same thing, it was th

Apparently you and the other customer reps don't care. If you or GM would care y'all would put more effort in the matter. Just coming on the forum and stating the same repetitive posts and being a 3

Do you still pay tax on the new vehicle ?

I filed with BBB becouse GM and my GMC dealer keep giving me the run around. We will see what happens from here. Next move will be lemon law lawyer. 1 month old and 1300 miles now. GM and Dealer do not care what you say,they say it will take time to figure this out and hope you go away. But guess what, Nope!!!!

I'm going through the BBB now also. I'm waiting to hear back from them keep us informed

These trucks drop in value real quick. My MSRP was $51665 and the current KBB with 4900 miles is from $39000 - $41000.

But lets be real.. Nobody pays close to MSRP. I paid $10k under MSRP.. KBB is more than what I purchased mine for.

I didn't pay 10K under MSRP, I paid $46000 so that's a $6000 loss and the truck only has 5000 miles on it. Either way it shows you that the markup on these trucks is ridiculous.

Oh by the way try getting a dealer to offer $40000 trade in for your truck.

With all the incentives and truck month you can probably buy a 14 like mine new for around $42000 right now.

I agree that the markup is ridiculous. I got a trade in offer of $31k which would be about a $2k loss in the 1 month I have had the truck. Did not take it though, just trying to see what I could get. It was through CarMax btw.

So I went to the dealer last week to see what kind of deal they would work for me. Manager of after sales said pay the difference in MSRP for a 2500 duramax minus $1000 customer satisfaction money.. I said give me an extended warranty and/or 0 percent and I will sign the papers... Apparently they didnt think my vibration problems along with the other problems ive had totaling 35 days in the shop were serious and they said no so I filed with the BBB. Today someone from GM calls after the BBB complaint and offers me a WORSE deal.. difference between 105% of msrp for my truck MINUS milage which works out to be almost the MSRP for my truck. So now they want me to pay the difference and arent giving me the 1000.00. What incentive do I have to NOT file a lemon law suit. Cant believe it.

Was it the District Manager After-Sales or the Dealership Manager of sales? If you talked directly to the person, it probably wasn't the DMA. Usually you have to go thru the service manager to get to the DMA and normally you don't get to personally communicate with this person. They don't want a million people contacting them all the time, so their contact info is usually not passed out to customers.

This is getting worse, WTF GM do the right thing get this person into a truck that doesn't shake, or give them their money back!

I went through this crap, and got my money back, and left the GM brand.

My coworkers thar drive new Fords laughed at me! I left my loyalties for GM after they stoped helping me, and continued to lie to me. This was honestly hard for me as I am was a loyal GM customer, but now I bought the ecodiesel and have been greatly satisfied after a few days with even better mileage, torque 420Lb, and tow numbers.

No shame in following your mind, leaving your personal feeling aside while making a big purchase is a wise decision.

Best of luck

When the DMA did my offer he gave me the difference between the current trade in value (not what's in a book but what a dealership would actually give me) and the amount I paid. I didn't ask for anything, I was about to trade it in on a ford or dodge and then I got the call so I didn't even hesitate, got nothing to lose except time. If my 2015 ends up having the same issues, it's going bye bye and will sit on a ford, dodge, toyota, or nissan lot.

 

Edit: my patients is already worn about as thin as it can...................

It was the district manager of after sales. The general manager and service manager had been passing the information to me on the deal. If i known it was going to be this much of a headache I would have just taken the deal.. but right now my truck is in the shop again for the final repair attempt and the GM engineer has had it for two days. Not sure if their able to fix it or not. I should just email the DMA (I have her information) and see if she will give me the same deal but Im thinking of getting my money back and leaving GM just because of the way I have been treated.

Did someone from GM call you and offer this?

You think they would figure out a fix, instead of buying back all these trucks. All they have to do is take one that the dealer couldn't fix and go through it top to bottom and find the culprit. Guess that makes too much sense.

I guess they are making enough money on them that they don't care. We just see what people on this forum are doing. Imagine the other 100rds of thousand people who will never complain about it, or hardly ever bring their vehicle to a dealership except for breakdowns and oil changes.

      2015 Silverado 3500 right rear turn indicator failure

      By davester · Posted

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      First off you mentioned "Toyo Says" and then gave the pressures 45/50, was this some person at the tire shop that pulled those numbers out of his head ?   Now of course I can't know your exact axle weights front and rear, however I have much the same pickup as yourself other than not knowing your starting weight as per the pounds the truck rolled out of the factory at due to the options yours did or didn't come with or what you have added beyond the extra tire weight. The correct way to know 100% where a person is at is by weighing each axle with the typical weight the vehicle is driven with and that means taking into account passengers and making sure you figure in a full tank of fuel and a little grace for whatever you may put in the bed "groceries" !    I am looking at and not that it really matters as all the tire companies use the same charts anyway, but I am looking at the comprehensive Toyo tire chart in the section that your tire falls under and I know it sounds confusing but your tire is not an LT metric tire like your factory tire but instead because its a standard inch measured tire its under a different category called an LT floatation series tire. That makes a difference as LT metric tires they don't want to see run below 35 psi at highway speed where as with the LT floatation series it can be run down to 25 psi on the highway as long as the weight on the said size of tire is agreeable with or less than that minimum 25 psi. It blows many people away that how is this physically possible, an empty truck for one thing and larger tires with the same size wheel diameter have a lot more air volume so they can carry the same weight as the smaller tire with less air pressure.    So my truck, I have the stock 275/65R20 wheels and tires and I have a bit of weight in the box with a bak flip cover and a rubber bed mat and some tools and spare gas. The front of my gas truck weighs a bit more than some trucks of the similar spec due to double batteries and alternators. However with full fuel and just me in the truck I am weighted such that I can run 40 front and 35 rear and so that is what I have done since day one.    If I base your truck at or slightly below the weight of my truck, in theory with your tires going by the tire chart you might be right around a minimum of 30 pounds front and 25 pounds rear. Of course that would hit pretty much minimum cold inflation pressure one could run with that tire size and a near empty truck. If you have access to an accurate weigh scale to do individual front and rear axle weights I would suggest you do that and make sure your topped up with fuel and whatever else in the truck before you weigh it and then you will have a great starting point to work off of and figure out what your bare minimum pressures are you can safely run. If you do much in the way of hot weather high speed driving, bumping up a bit for a safety margin is never a bad idea but just depends on what type of driving you do. I will include the Toyo chart and the floatation series sizes start on page 31. Without a doubt at these pressures I am speculating at minimum wise for your truck, it would most certainly ride very different then it did when you were using 55 lb front and rear.     https://www.toyotires.com/media/pxcjubjs/application_of_load_inflation_tables_20200723.pdf
