box delete ?


Recommended Posts

Posted

In the near future I'll need a truck to tow heavier trailers.

So I started looking at the GM website to build and price a 1 ton diesel.

 

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but when I check mark the box for a integrated trailer brake controller, this message popes up:

I'm a little confused since I think that a 1 ton diesel should come

 

a) with a brake controller in the first place (don't even know why that's an option)

b) why do I have to delete the box or bumper?

 

so long

All 1 ton trucks come with the integrated brake controller, so no need to check the box. That may be where your issue is on the build and price. Or its a glitch.

Go to a Cab and Chassis. It's a 3500 dually, 62 gallon capacity and it's cheaper than a pick up.

Build and price is a joke, when you go to the dealer to order it is nothing like the joke build and price.

Thanks for the input , guys.

 

My wife, too, said it's better do go to the dealer and talk to them. And I agree, of course :rolleyes: .

One would just think that in 2016 a website of a giant car manufacturer would be a little more sophisticated and not let me guessing.

It's because the integrated trailer brake controller is only ordered as a separate item if you have one of the deletes.

 

(The box or bumper delete will also deletes the controller, which would then mean the controller can be separately ordered)

 

 

It's preventing you from adding something that is already there from being double ordered -- and at the same time asking if you are ordering it because you intend to do one of the deletes.

    • You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling. 
    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
