10’s of thousands of k2xx 6l80’s probably had bad thermostats as well. I had one. I would have never known my thermostat was non functioning had I not been a forum member and known that it’s supposed to open at 190 and level off. Also technicians would never know either because how often do they drive them enough to reach 190 and even notice when they get there. -
Sure, the article mentions GM is trading some volume for margin, i.e. sell fewer but make more. It just doesn't seem to add up that inventory at some of the biggest dealers around here for a popular rig like the Silverado 1500 would literally shrink in half. Maybe that's the only way they can sustain the margin, and they're just turning existing inventory more quickly. I also wonder if borrowing cost has something to do with it. Dealers have to borrow to floor the vehicles and pay interest. I wonder if that has limited what they can ultimately keep on the ground at the dealership. -
Thanks for the follow-up posts. I'm about to buy a second hand Smart Cap and have 78" Yakima HD bars in the garage. Did you need to buy anything besides the bars to mount them to the cap? -
Had the shims put in yesterday. Problem went away. We will see how long it lasts. -
Those sites are hellscapes, for sure... It's mostly all noise. There are still some decent finds out there, but they go quickly. I'm fairly certain the Blazer will be my last adventure in buying fixer-uppers. Doing it for the sport and enjoyment takes a lot of time/energy. I've had my fun. But this isn't a market I want to be in. The buyers can be just as bad as the crazy ads. The kind who text you at 11 at night asking if you'll take half your asking price and the rest of the bag of chips they're eating. Or if you'll take payments.
