Its not a 3%, not sure where someone got that and ran with it. Holdback is a 3 month security basically for loss of interest due to a vehicle sitting on the lot not sold. For a mid $50k truck your looking at around $1500.

All the price around here south they offer most $7000 off and $300 for paper work BS lol

I really consider flight to laura gmc and get the lifted SLT for the price of stock SLE.

I'll keep update if I really purchase from them.

Don't be afraid to travel. One way tickets can be cheap and sometimes it is well worth the hassle.

 

I ended up traveling to a different state to make my deal. The out of state dealer I used seemed to be well versed in selling to out of state customers. I pitched an OTD price to them, that covered the truck, the accessories I wanted, and also all taxes and fees. Even though I was from a different state, they were able to roll all the state taxes into the deal and we negotiated an all encompassing OTD price. When all was said and done, they had looked up what my states sales taxes were, and figured it in, they also sent me on my way with two different checks made out to my state's Secretary of State Office for both my new plates and also new title/registration. Along with the two checks, they also included a receipt showing that I had paid my sales tax on the purchase also. It was obvious that it wasn't their first time selling a new vehicle to somebody out of state. It was all quite simple and painless.

I say do it! I drove from Kansas City to Laura to pick up my truck that I special ordered from them. No hassle no BS...easy transaction. No one locally could touch Laura's prices. In fact they told me that Laura's advertised prices were not what you would really pay. They were wrong and I couldn't be happier.

Are located near St. Louis? Laura GMC does seem to be the cheapest to get a quote from but wonder what a dealer close to me in S FL would say about them being so far away. So holdback is 3% of MSRP?

 

I picked up my GMC SLT Z71 (Sticker 50,345) and paid 40,400 for it from Laura Buick GMC. The paper work processing is only like $175 on top of that. I could not find any deal remotely close to this in Denver and someone posted do not be afraid of a one way ticket. To St Louis was only $132 one way. (I used points though...) I would recommend Laura if you do not mind driving it back. They quoted the price and actually beat it by a few hundred when I actually got out there.

Bkew, was that price without taxes I assume?

Yes. I have to pay the taxes in Colorado. They will not collect for my state. IF I was smart I would registered it in MT with the farm and avoid taxes =)

For those of you that bought out of town or state. How do you deal with the included service/maitenance/recall issues?

 

Are your hometown dealers obligated to service your truck even if you didn't buy from them?

Any Chevy/GMC dealer will be glad to perform your service work. I use one local dealer for my covered oil changes and tire rotations. I didn't buy my last two trucks there because I got a better deal elsewhere. Their service department is great and convenient so I use them.

    • Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.          
    • Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.  
    • I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
