I'm convinced Chevy/GMC do not want to sell vehicles...

I'll share my experience with awful service dealing with my past GMC dealership. When I went to get my 2017 GMC Sierra All Terrain, no one took me seriously or would even talk to me when I went into the showroom. Same thing is happening with my GMC AT4/Denali inquires. Mind you, I am 25 but I have almost a 750+ credit score and about $20-30k to put towards this new truck. So when I went in to talk about a possible AT4 / Denali I couldn't even get someone to sit down and talk numbers with me. They just look at me and ignore me as some kid. They usually learn their lesson when I sit down and tell them the details and they run my credit and are baffled by my credit score and the cash I have available. I love vehicles and I love my current 2017 but I hate dealerships.

I could write a novel about bad GM dealer experiences...from sales to service, it's a wonder I own any GM vehicles at all.

 

That said, I finally found a decent salesman as a repeat customer at the dealer I bought my 17 Denali from.  Was a breath of fresh air honestly.  Quick, easy deal made in less than 2 hours.

 

I will say that our MB experience has still been much better.  As already stated, welcomed by refreshments, comfy chairs, open negotiations...then sent us in an S class for lunch (we paid for lunch) while they cleaned up the SUV we were trading up into.  Came back, signed the papers, they had already taken care of the plates and registration for us.  That has NEVER happened at any GM dealer I have been to, even though I have spent a lot more money on GMs.

Key is telling them you live at home with your Parents.

Dealers usually salivate at kids like that... LOL

IF you can't get it with them just go with the Cadillac Escalade as my sister in law bought one over a year ago with it. Pretty nice tech. Talking with her husband I think he said they had it with the mlbet before as well. I have the poor man's version of "HUD" with my 04 Chevy Tahoe paired up with my Galaxy Note 9. I get speed, direction and GPS and nothing more.

I already have an SUV and really "need" a pick up. And there is no way I could afford a ~100K Escalade. Thats almost a 60 month mortgage.

 

But, the Caddys are nice!!!

Pickups are also a 60 month Mortgage! :loser:

2020 Tahoe, Yukon and Suburban will eclipse 100K.

2020 HD Trucks will hit the 80K mark.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There would be one way of determining the quality of the factory oil although probably more than a typical oil lab test, and that would be to draw out some oil from a new truck and send a sample to a lab that could do a more elaborate test of the oil. The issue with too little oil in the diff may not be the lack of lubrication of the diff bearings and gears themselves ( although a lack of oil volume for cooling ) but the wheel bearings because at some point the oil would be too low to properly get onto the spinning axle or fed along the axle tube. That was the claim by the local dealer from a couple of trucks in recent years that had the wheel bearings fail and they figured from lack of sufficient oil due to a severe underfilled diff and some of the bearing material made its way to the diff and it got damaged as well so the axle housings were just replaced on warranty. But your right that if the diff is over filled by whatever margin that it causes more churning of the oil than is desirable and that is no good either and can cause a pinion seal to leak. Also old oil I believe can tend to loose some of its properties like antifoaming and another good reason to change the diff oil every so often.

      I would be surprised if the diff's were not filled (with the cheapest gear lube) at the axle factory before being shipped to GM.  If you ever watched them building trucks they install the axles and all suspension parts with the frame upside down and then turn it over before its time to install the engine.     Too much gear lube in a axle can be worse than not enough especially with a lower quality GL where is get whipped up with entrained air (foam)  weakening its ability to lubricate.

      This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.

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

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.
