My Silversdo - It`s Here


Recommended Posts

Posted

Well I ordered a new Silverado on March 24, and it arrived at the dealer 4.26.2014, very quick, I`m impressed. I`ll be trading in a problematic 2014 Jeep GC. Now the issue I`m concerned about is should I get it before the end of the month or wait till May to see the incentives then? My insides say May, I`ll ask my friend at the dealer. This should be interesting.

Would you care to explain if you placed a deposit for the vehicle, and if it was refundable or not? I'm debating whether to order one, and I'm concerned about negotiating power if you order one vs picking one in stock.

Thanks

I'd say wait til may.

I ordered one because they did not have one equipped the way I wanted. Usually you can negotiate a better price for an ordered vehicle as opposed to one on their lot because they are not making payments on an ordered one. In the state I`m in I don`t believe you lose your deposit if you back out of the deal.

Congrats! Picked up mine on Friday and still trying to wipe the dumb smile off my face.

I've had mine 6 months and I still have that dumb smile. I'm hoping it's the truck.

 

I have a brother-in-law in the parts department there at Henna Chev.

 

Enjoy!

    • Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.
    • That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”. 
    • I wonder kind of nuts and bolts they will come up with next? Jim
    • “It should be recognized, however, that there becomes a point where fuel economy oils do not make much economic sense for the end consumer—we talk about a fuel saving of ~€100 compared to a risk of €1000 Euros if the oil is too thin and causes increased engine wear rates. However, the benefit of these oils accrues to the car manufacturers. If their vehicles can save 1–2% fuel by using a special fuel economy lubricant, then that OEM can drastically reduce the amount of fines they need to pay.”   I liked this and the following paragraph as well but it’s really only touching the beginning of the benefits OEMs see from spec’ing these oils. After you factor in “out of warranty” service work and new car sales when these engines fail before their time, it’s a good racket for them. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!
