Probably hard to get a decent trade when local dealers are doing $13k off MSRP on 15's!

Indeed

 

Went to carmax a few days ago, looking at getting into a different truck and buy out of state. '15 Z71, all star, crew crab, 4x4 with a few other options, msrp 46K.

 

They offered 28.5K

 

I'll keep it for that :)

I've been looking into trading in my 2015 4.3 double cab for a 5.3 crew cab, that a local dealer has had on their lot for a while now. Sticker price on the crew cab was $45k and its now priced at $33k.

 

Dealership offered me $22k on a trade in (my original sticker price was $39k).... I knew it was going to be bad but not THAT bad!

 

Went to carmax lastnight and they offered me $26k. Hoping to the dealership will somewhat match it so I can get into the crew cab

The problem you will run into with dealerships is you have a undesirable truck configuration.

I think it all depends on the dealer. I have a 2014 Double cab, with 4.3, Z71 package, plus two accidents on my truck, and as of earlier this week, dealer was willing to give me 25K for mine.

I just sold my '15 Sierra Z71 4x4 Crew with 9k miles and MSRP of $51.5k back to a Chevy dealer for $39k. Luckily I had bought it for $37k four months ago due to dealer concession and 20% off MSRP. Also helps to register in Oregon so no sales tax.

 

My two year old Tundra 1794 4x4 had 40k miles on it and went from $49.8k MSRP to $38k trade in. Much better retained value than the GM product.

Here's why I lease:

 

1. I need to own a house. My clothes. Not a car or truck, that's not important to me.

2. I like always having my truck under warranty. 36 month warranty, 36 month lease.

3. My dealership is phenomenal to me and has taken me out of my last two leases 8-9 months early and I've gotten fantastic deals each time, including $3,800 additional directly from GMAC for returning my 2014 under mileage and 5 rated for condition.

4. Lastly, and most importantly, I live a conservative lifestyle. I have a 6 figure income but really no vices....no boats, don't gamble, womanize, etc......my pickup is my guilty pleasure. And if getting a new one every 2-3 years keeps me happy and leasing is, in my opinion a cost effective way to do it, then I'm going to do it.

 

It really cracks me up to see posters coming on here criticizing those who lease. If you don't want to lease, don't. But don't tell me what's right for me, or others.

I traded my 2014 6.2 AT with 9,200 miles in last year in May of 2015 for the 2015 I'm driving now. Discounted price was $46,300 from an MSRP of $54,720. Received $40,000 on trade for the 2014. Forgot to mention was able to get a $1,500 special offer coupon to pop up.

Considering no one pays retail on these and you should be able to get 20% off without issue, these trade in values seem really high. Pointless to buy a used truck with 35k when a new one is 4-5k more.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Most thermostatically controlled ATF systems use a 'wax' pill just like the one in your water thermostat. They work on the expansion volume of the wax and the pill is constructed in such a way as to limit the travel to remain within that range. This means it has an opening temperature often called the 'cracking temperature' and a fully open temperature. For whatever reason oil is designated by it's fully open temperature and water by it's cracking temperature.    Between the two it the "Regulating Temperature" The entire range is about 20 F from closed to open. In your example the lower limit, opening point of 145 F then has a fully open temp of 165 F and a throttling temperature of 155 F.    Thing is, the throttling temperature needs two things to work properly. Enough system load high enough to reach the minimum and a heat sink (cooler/exchanger) large enough to prevent any load applied from exceeding the fully open temperature.    If your system exceeds the fully open temperature it is screaming MORE COOLER.    Here is the silly part of the whole thermostat system where the oil is cooled/heated by the radiator. Nothing is flowing to that system until the oil temperature reaches the cracking temperature unless it is equipped with a minimum flow bypass orifice or a bypass built into the seating surface of the plunger. That system meant to get it up to temp quicker isn't doing a thing until WORK drives if from ambient to cracking temp. One a cold winter day, like zero F, it may never get hotter than about 110 F. Sometimes not even that.    People forget or are young enough to not know that until this millennia transmissions were cooled by the radiator cold tank alone and without a thermostat at all.  In the 50's they weren't even cooled. OEMs learn everything the hard way.    When an OEM tells you the trans "Works best" between 175 F and 220 F it means works best for THEM. The transmission thermostat is fuel play. If you watch you trans temps like I do you will learn that it may take a hundred miles if you are not towing and not driving more than say 55-60 mph on a zero F day to even reach 120 F and it might sit there all day if it's colder. Yet if functions perfectly over about 100 F. It may need to get a bit warmer for the fuel and spark maps to go without an multiplier.    Worry more about too hot. Use a cooler large enough to put that thermostat in range.

      Around 2008 if memory serves they took sulfur out. That was when diesel went up.

      Gas Prices

      By richard wysong · Posted

      Question for you Grumpy, why is diesel so much more than gasoline? Seems to me that it may be slightly a little less refined than gas and it doesn't have 10% alcohol which presumably lowers the price of gas

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.
