So I currently have a 2015 Silverado CC LTZ 2wd with the sport package.

Mods in my sig but I am thinking about trading on a 2016 Silverado CCLT Z71 with full console.

I would be giving up leather, power folding mirrors, sliding back glass window

If I traded I would get body color bumpers and grille, factory HID's led drl, Apple car play, wireless charging console lid, cloth seats, 4 wheel drive

My intake, bed cover, floor mats, driver assist handle would carry over and they would do a spray in liner.

 

The new truck msrp is 47,605 and I got them at 37890 and my trade at 34500. Good deal? It's on a 2016.

So would you do it?

You're doing better than most. Have you wanted 4wd since you got your 2WD?

Yeah, that is my regret but I like my truck too.

Now that my wife is done with school we are going on road trips in the winter to Colorado and New Mexico so I think I will use it and I want to start going off road a little for fun.

Oh and I would be loosing my Bose speakers and my chrome 20" wheels

You aren't losing much without the speakers.

At first it sounded like a great deal to me but you know that if a deal sounds too good.... You are getting a newer model truck but you are giving up some features that you may miss. Also, 17's are appearing so '16 is soon losing its "newness". However, 4 wheel drive is a nice option (if you use it) and sweetens the idea of a trade How many miles are on your '15? Finally, when dealing with large numbers, $3,400 sounds small but is still a lot of money for most people. If given the same temptation, I would buy new tires for my '15 and say I've actually saved my self a couple of grand!

It really all depends on how much you need or want 4-wheel drive. The price seams very good, but if you never use the 4-Wheel drive . . . :dunno:

Maybe look for a '16 with the leather, sliding windows, etc, and 4x4. Make a deal on that one. '17s are pouring in, '16 is already considered a year old now. If you wait until the year end, you could get even more off the new one. Last year there were 20% cash back deals everywhere, even on the "new" at the time '16s.

 

Bottom line, I wouldn't be in a hurry. If it were me, I KNOW it would drive me crazy if I traded "down" a trim level.

Warranty on the 15 is better than the 16. Keep that in mind also. I'd be glad to swap my power mirrors for the signal ones if you're gonna trade it in. Lol

      I like the idea.  I would pick diesel if I had a choice. I need pictures though.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By newdude · Posted

      I've installed cheap eBay new aftermarket digitizers before.  They work.  Did a bunch of Cadillac CUE (aka Cadillac's MyLink) for someone years ago.  They all worked fine after the repair.    That number 22740886, that is a component part # for GM.  You can use it to search, but its not something that's obtainable at the dealer level.     So pretty much any of these will work - 2015 Colorado Digitizer for sale | eBay

      Exhaust heat while towing!

      By fondupot · Posted

      You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...
