First post here, but long time reader!

 

I just traded in my 2014 Sierra after the transmission conked out only about 650 miles from home while we were heading to CO for vacation.  So, rather than spending 6K and 2K for A/C work, I traded it in and bought a new GMC 1500 AT4.   The dealer had NOTHING on the lot, but shows delivery of the truck I bought, to be next week.  I just checked with GMC, and they told me the same thing the dealer did.

 

I'm kinda excited about this, even though I wasn't planning on buying a new truck yet.  I'm also a bit worried about delivery next week.  Can y'all tell me if the status you get from GMC is pretty accurate?  I guess I'm asking how worried should I be?  I'll be cutting it close, but salesguy was pretty positive. He said, if it isn't here, I'll ship it on a truck to you!  (I got that in writing!)

The delivery date estimate i received from dealer when i got mine was very accurate.  I also bought mine that was being shipped that day.  They said it would be 2-3 weeks. It arrived at dealership in 2 1/2.  The dealer kept me updated and let me know where the truck was in the delivery process.  Enjoy the new truck and congrats!!!

I bought my '21 AT4 Duramax on July 3rd. It was supposed to arrive that same day but I'm still waiting. I chatted with GM today and they have no clue when the truck will arrive. Same story with the dealer. I'm not happy since I'm driving my wife's car to work and she is unable to do errands. My other car, a Wrangler YJ runs great but it has no A/C so it is out of the question because it is too hot in Hell Paso TX. Hopefully I'll get the truck soon. I suspect I will be making my first payment without a truck.

Tell your dealer to make the payment. 😉

 

What are you doing with a vehicle without A/C in Hell Paso, TX? 🙃

I never planned on installing the A/C on the Wrangler since most of the time I drove with just the top on, safari style. 

 

Also I'm retiring (early retirement at 51-52) in a year or so and we are moving to our mountain house. No need for A/C there. Just heat.

You completed the sales transaction without actually taking possession of the vehicle?  First I've heard of that.  Is it your responsibility to insure it as well?

 

Why not just put down a deposit?

The reason was that I was going on vacation and since I had placed a deposit and they required me to take delivery within 48 hours of the truck arriving at the dealer, they recommended I complete the transaction before I left that way the truck was mine. 

 

I got a call from the dealer today that it had arrived. It is sitting on my driveway.

OK.  Another way dealers manipulate situation in their favor, but if you want a truck now you don't have much choice.

 

I have had my '21 AT4 6.2L for almost three months now and am very happy.  Hope yours is great!

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
