Question on 2014 Denali Pricing


Recommended Posts

Posted

I know there is a pricing thread but it seems to be more for the SLT and below trucks. I was curious what the Denali guys are getting off sticker for their trucks? I have seen Laura Buick GMC list a truck for 56k and sale pricing around 48K but none of the local dealers can touch this price and state its a scam for that cheap. The most I have gotten off so far is $3500 off sticker. Is asking 8-10k off sticker that hard to achieve right now?

Got mine Denali 6.2 in July and got 6 off sticker sure you can do better than that now

I got a online quote for $6 off a $56k Denali a couple of weeks ago. This was a little lower than GM supplier pricing.

My local dealer matched Laura and I got spray liner, weathertech mats included. I paid extra for a minimal level kit front and back p, switched out the denali rims for ATs and 295 Toyo's for another $500 roughly. I was out the door for about $9k less than sticker with all additions including tax.

Of course they are going to say it is a scam, ANY other dealer is their competition. I bought a 2013 & as long as you READ what the discounts are for in the rebate section, the price is exactly what you will pay.

There was a $1,000 deal for GM trade assistance that I did not get as nothing was traded in on the purchase, other than that, it was down to the penny. You can also secure your own financing.

Have been to some dealerships or like what Ford was promoting that you had to get credit through them to get the sale price. Laura GMC did none of that.

I have spoken with a salesman at Laura last week but they don't have the black interior I wanted on the White Tricoat but the pricing was the same as a truck I found in KY. They quoted the price exactly on the site plus adding the 1k since I am not trading. I appreciate the info guys and it will help me tremendously.

Laura is great, my hometown dealer wouldn't even try to match. They do volume and don't dicker. I got my 14' Denali for $48.6k, it was the most loaded one on the lot and they were very good to deal with. They will give you every discount available and that's it. My salesman ripped up my contract when I got out my USAA Insurance card. Apparently it was worth a $750 discount. Go there and be happy. Ask for Ryan mccalla and tell him kurt Knudson sent you-I get a 100 bucks.

Took delivery on mine August 1. Paid $52 out the door. Only option I didn't get I can think of is rear seat dvd and I also saved $700 by ordering no running boards

 

There was probably a better deal out there but I ordered it to my specs and needed some help with logistics for lift/tires once I took delivery that the dealer was a huge help with that

 

We had already made our deal without a trade, but when I went to take delivery I had them appraise my wrangler and the trade deal I go was stupidly good. And then they came to my house a few days later to pick up the hard top as well

 

So I was happy with what I paid

    • It is working as designed.  NHT and non NHT trucks have the same exact transmission cooling setup.  NHT just gets a larger radiator.     The transmission cooler loop on these is as follows.     -Transmission out goes into an oil to water heat exchanger (item #1 in the first illustration below).  This exchanger has engine coolant opposite the transmission fluid and uses engine coolant to warm and then regulate the transmission fluid temperature when its in the operating window.   - From the cooler it goes to a thermal bypass valve (item #11 in the 2nd illustration below).  If the ATF has not reached the temp to open the bypass (194F), it loops back.   - When it reaches 194F, the thermostat opens and ATF then flows out to the oil to air auxiliary cooler (item #17 in the 2nd illustration) at the front of the truck.  From there it goes back to the transmission.     Your only fix would be to swap for the PPE thermal bypass delete block which will open the loop to the aux cooler all the time.  It will STILL run warm, probably 170-200F, but that's as low as you'll get it as its still flowing through the oil to water exchanger.      
    • Most say the oil temperature needs to above the boiling point of water to rid it of moisture and long enough to dry it. Many think that is about a hour at 212 F or more. Those people have never line dried cloths in a Midwest winter. Leave a pan of water sitting on the counter and eventually it all evaporates. So heat drives the time it takes. Water in oil under 175 F, the Nitration initiation temperature, is a minimum then for temperature and samples I've done that use Karl Fisher method say about a hour (in a healthy well tuned motor) over 175 F will dry it to under 800 ppm. Low enough to not be much of a factor. Motors with weak rings will take longer and the colder the air temperature the longer it takes.   On a cold motor there is also the condensation temperature. Blowby gases that contain moisture are subject to that cold cylinder wall, like sweat on a glass of ice tea. But also subject to the Law of Partial Pressures. Wear studies by GM and the DOD  indicate wear is a real issue below 85 F and a concern to 140 F but doesn't become a minimal factor until about 160 F. You know this intuitively when you see water vapor exit the exhaust pipe until the system gets above the dew point. It isn't magic, it's physics and it fascinates me. I know you didn't ask but....I over share sometimes. 😉    You keep the Camaro's high and tight.  
    • Move further away.   Benefit of living out - none of our cars get short cycled, plenty of warm up time.   Curious how much time/temperature it takes to drive moisture/condensation out of the engine?
    • Switch a a 100% synthetic trans fluid, Amsoil works for me.
    • First of all sorry, I know there are a ton of transmission temperature threads...   My truck is a 2025 LZ0 High (10l89 10-speed) High Country with NHT max trailering package. The NHT package is supposed to have "enhanced cooling."   Normally the trans temp sits around 200. It seems like with any real stress it quickly jumps into the 220s (for example climbing a grade unloaded at lower speeds). I haven't towed much with this truck, but I'm concerned if it gets this hot unloaded.    I've tried a few different things to keep the temps down (tow/haul mode, sport mode, low range when that makes sense) and nothing seems to affect it.    I'm curious if others are the same behavior or if anyone has found techniques to keep the temps down. It seems like it just can't handle reduced airflow at lower speeds, even with relatively light loading.    Thanks!
