Poor investment advice. So you get roughly half that back on resale; you spend almost 4k more for 4wd, then more on insurance, more on financing, more on maintenance, more on gas as well as another level added of something expensive to break for what? An ego? To sell to another market of people? For every person that wants a 4wd there is a person that wants a 2wd, plain and simple. A person who wants heated leather seats and a sunroof but can only afford that in a 2wd probably won't step down to a cloth bench 4wd if they just aren't going to use it, especially down south. It isn't 90% 4wd truck sales, people buy 2wd up north as well. I think I saw it is like 55%/45% 2wd vs 4wd sales a few years ago (could be flipped, this is based on memory). Still, that is a large market that buys 2wd...

 

 

 

I live here, there are tons of 2wd. Other than the image conscious suburban box checker dads who want it to stroke their ego you see tons of lariat, platinum, high country, ect models that are 2wd. That is a myth, not to mention a dealer will take it on trade for fair value just as much as a 4wd.

My dealer, Covert GMC, has 10 Denali 4WD trucks in stock. They have 0 2WD Denali trucks in stock. They have been a GM dealer for well over 100 years here.

Is it a correct statement if you do not have a trade-in Laura GMC they tack on $1000

Yes, correct. Their price includes $1000 trade in rebate.

I just talked to One of the sale reps he said they no longer do that. The price is the price. How long ago doobs. He said they changed this a few months back. Not saying you are incorrect just making the water clear. I'm not flying all that way for any surprises big or small.

Gilly is right. I just bought a blue Denali. And although I think I did ok, the dealers were simply not dealing as much in these. I ended up gettin it for about 9k off of MSRP. Vehicle sticker was just under $59k and I paid $50k (plus TTF).

 

Nice truck and solid price....the closest Blue 6.2L to me is 2.5 hours away.....I would do it if I didn't have the trade....it's too much of a pain that far away....drove the 5.3 and for my needs it is fine....now it's just making the deal....

That was exactly what happened in my case Gilly. I actually located the vehicle about 150 miles away. It was the ONLY one for several hundred miles configured the way I wanted it. I went in to my local dealer - told them it was what I wanted, worked a deal, and then they went and got it. Don't get me wrong, I would have like to put those first 150 miles on myself, but the dealer was great and the transaction was done very professionally.

I haven't even driven the 6.2 because I know if I do I'll want it....

What are y'all getting off MSRP on Denali's with the 6.2L? Beck and Masten in Houston is offering me a Bronze Alloy 2WD with Sunroof, NAV, Driver Alert, Spray Liner and Trailer Brake Controller for $46,010. MSRP is $55,225.

 

 

 

I've been searching out here in the East (Between St. louis and New York and as far south as N. Carolina), and I'll be damned if I can find anyone other than Laura who will go below Supplier pricing on the 6.2L Denali w/ Standard Bed. There are just not that many out there with a standard bed and in the color I want. In fact one just told me today that they would not even give me supplier pricing if I was going to try and use the $750 credit union rebate, which is contrary to the other dozen or so dealers I talked to. They all give me the exact same price: Supplier - $4,250 (August incentives). Another I talked to yester wouldn't go below Supplier on a demo w/ $5k miles on it! The only differences are doc fees and the like. So far, Laura is the only one willing to get creative in this game.

 

As of now, it looks like I'm holding out for the September incentives and hoping they get better, or at least add some financing deals on the Denali.

Why not just buy from Laura and have it shipped? I have been looking for same truck 6.2 Denali standard bed.

 

Because I can't decide between the White Diamond, which Laura has, or the Bronze Alloy, which they don't! Such hard decisions...

I was actually working a deal on a White Diamond one and then I saw the blue in person - had to have it!

I did not buy mine there, I had just read that on their site in the past so perhaps I had outdated info. My bad!

I'm going out to Charlotte tomorrow morning to look at a Sonoma Red 6.2L Denali Standard Box 4WD with Sunroof, Nav, Brake Controller, etc. for $8,500 off the $58,500 sticker. If they can get me the payment and lease terms I want, It'll be in my driveway tomorrow evening.

      The problem with failure rates or increase failures are there’s people who don’t have a problem. What are you doing wrong they say. We had 4 5.7 GM diesel’s in the family when they came out. One was flawless. My uncle who happened to be the most abusive. Early rotary engines were known to use oil. I abused my first car so bad in six months I replaced the clutch, transmission and rear end. It didn’t use oil. My brother in law has a 2013 Tahoe and an older Yukon. The Yukon has 280K miles. The Tahoe around 175K. He runs them to about 300K. If his lifters fail before that time he would consider it a failure. My Hondas, I know people hate it when I mention them. Identical engines. One with cylinder deactivation one doesn’t have it. One shudders when the eco light goes on or off. Cylinder deactivation. But wait! According to the web. It can happen with lock up too. So now people in the know are changing the oil and transmission fluid more often. Then you read it could be a programing issue. So what do you do? There’s lots of money involved. I see three ways to deal with it. One only works if you don’t drive lots of miles. Lease, never get out of warranty. Or only buy older vehicles with a good track record. They all have bad runs. Usually when there’s a change. Even Toyota and Honda.

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.
