I am in Central MA hoping to purchase a 2500  AT4. Does anyone recommend a MA GMC dealership that has straightforward pricing? I have only seen a discount of 3-4 thousand dollars off MSRP.

AT4 trim is a top seller right now. When I bought my Denali on 11/2, it had an additional $1000 rebate over the AT4. You are also going to be limited by current supply. Sellers market to some degree. 

I purchased from Robertson’s in Wareham. Been in business a long time. Family owned and operated. Exceptional buying experience from start to finish. Deal included my trade-in. No BS, straight forward deal. They honored the First Responder discount that I qualified for while others would not.

1st off the HD's are NOT discounted like the 1500's as you probably know ...

 

Seems to me the the the Massachusetts Dealerships have some type of illegal monopoly - they are always higher priced than other US regional areas and stick together pricewise in one way or another.

 

I've bought 3 new Sierra 2500 HD SLT's from Quirk Manchester NH (04, 11, & 15) and after hours of negotiations struggled to get about 14% off MSRP, and a similar deal was all I could get from others as well +-  They used to have a large selection of HD's and next lot over is Quirk Chevy to check out as well (actually the same location). Both dealerships are like Brand New and mostly easy going.

 

Now today there is a shortage of 2020 HD's left and they are offering nearly no MSRP discount except for the Manufacturers $2000 - $4000 rebate +-

 

Quirk is not a ripoff but they tend to offer about $1000-$2000 less on the Trade Book value.

 

I may buy at Banks, Concord NH next time, they have Large Selection like Quirk NH and many have said it was much better than "Mass Dealers", & similar to deals at Quirk NH.

 

Post what you find - I'm shopping too

I just bought my GMC 2500HD Denali from Ingersoll Chevrolet/GM in Danbury, CT.  Great prices and service.   And they have a ton of trucks coming any day!!!   Please ask for Alex Davydov, and tell him Darrin referred you!

    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?   
    • Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
