I don't suppose a Chevrolet dealer is allowed to do warranty work on a GMC?

 

I don't have a GMC dealer within 50 miles of where I live, but I do have a Chevrolet dealer nearby that has a first rate service department.

 

I'd like to get such discounts on a new Silverado.

Same here, been corresponding with Laura GMC this past week and they sure do have some great deals! But like you have a Chevy dealer very close to here but GMC is quite a bit farther. I asked the service manager the other day this question and he said No, that any warranty work must be done by a GMC dealer. It's very hard to find a Chevy 6.2 let alone get one down as much as Laura has theirs priced at.

 

OP, nice trucks you got there! That blue one with level and wheels/tires is really close to what I've been looking at Laura's. Do those 305's rub at all? Even with a 2.25 level I'd have to think there would be some rub with a 33x12.5? Laura says they can put those wheels/tires/level on any truck on their lot for $3k. But I have a whole separate post going on that.

 

What kind of mileage you getting with that setup?

We had a bad experience with our local GMC dealer's service department. We explained this to the local Chevrolet dealer and the Chevrolet dealer now services the GMC Duramax without any issues

I get just the slightest rub in reverse with the wheels cranked all the way but just barely. You have to listen for it to even notice it with the windows down. Mine was already on the lot and lifted so it was added to the price already. Not positive but I've heard it cheaper to get one they already have done than picking a truck and having it done. At 60 mph I get 20-21mpg on level ground and average about 19.5-20 on the highway, short trips and in town and things I get about 14.5-15 mpg. From Indiana to Florida with my bass boat I got around 15.5-16 running 65mph with about 70% of the time running it in 7th gear with a 3.23 rear end.

My dads sticker price was just shy of 60k, price out the door was 45,4??. So he got around 14,500 off the msrp. I forget the exact numbers when I got mine last year but with the leveling kit and wheels/tires the total was right at 61k and I paid around 45,995 I believe. I got an extra incentive off as it was GMC's truck month so I saved a bit more. I believe it was 1,500 for that incentive. If you want a GMC you won't find one cheaper that what Laura's prices are I'd almost guarantee it. Even flying there and driving back I saved 7k more than any dealer within 150 miles of me. Definitely worth the trip!

 

Hmm.. I should've gotten a GMC a while back. It sounds a lot cheaper than here. How's this to compare? http://www.beavertongmc.com/VehicleDetails/new-2017-GMC-Sierra_1500-Crew_Cab_Short_Box_4_Wheel_Drive_SLT-Portland-OR/2985252893

 

I don't know what all the configuration is on your dads but this is around 47k after discounts and such, so 2k more something like that.

That's a pretty good deal. Laura's would probably be 1,500 cheaper or so. Was a no brainer for me and my dad, it cost us about 300 for each of our plane tickets and a tank of gas to get home. So I guess it would depend if you like road trips lol.

yeah it's only a couple grand more than mine when I bought it 1yr6+months ago. I swear, GMC has a better looking exterior. :( o well...

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

      - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.
