Looks like it will be a bit more difficult to dispose of your leased GM vehicle.  My 2019 GMC Sierra has a boatload of equity in it, but GM financial will no longer allow sales to third parties, such as other make dealers or Vroom.  Told me it was to allow GM dealers to have more access to used vehicle.  More like allowing GM dealers to low-ball you out of equity.  Nothing in my lease agreement mentions selling to third parties, but GM financial stated that they'd just return any attempts at payoff.

Ford is doing the same thing. If you have the money buy out the lease and sell the truck on your own. I agree though greediness to the max

The car game has changed a lot since the Chinese Virus showed up. Dealers are begging for used vehicles. My wife finally told one dealer not to call her anymore or she would file harassment charges. They want he 2014 Impala LTZ. I've had calls to trade my Sierra. All that to say that may be why GMAC is doing that. Just my thoughts.

And that is where I get off the buss. Run out the lease and find a new OEM to deal with. State laws vary on early payment. Assure yourself of the states laws on the topic. GM can not legislate anything that counterman's state or federal law.

Its only on the leased vehicles as far as I know, but I couldn't tell if the OP is a lease holder or outright purchaser based on his post.  If you are a lease owner, this move by GM really sucks for you, its a bad spot to be in and I don't envy you at all for it.

 

However, it gives you one more reason to stop leasing and start owning :)

The radio show I listen to on Saturday ( car-pro) says they all are jumping on that band wagon. With leases. The solution is to buy it. Especially if there’s a ton of equity. There are certain vehicles up to two years old are bringing the original sticker or more.

It's a lease.  I leased this one because it's a dedicated tow vehicle and I was flipping purchased trucks every three years anyway.  Generally, at three years, the purchased vehicles were usually a wash with payoff.  So, the lease made sense and shifted any loss of value back to the lessor...pre-covid.

 I been leasing my vehicles for 20 years now and no issues. This is just once in lifetime event. And like many have said Lease work for some and not others. The lease on my 2019 Denali will be up soon and i cannot wait to get a new GM truck. Maybe this one wont have the leaking back window.  :)

I don’t see the problem.  If the other dealer wants it, they can front the money to you to buy the lease out and then you turn it over to them as part of your next transaction.  I guess there could be tax consequences but if not, there should be no problem.  If there are tax consequences, there may be some way around it by acting as an agent for the non-GM entity that wants the vehicle.

Has anyone been able to successfully buy out there lease for themselves or does this just stop a second party from buying out your lease?

It's probably buried in the fine print that nobody reads. Because we all just want to sign and drive! I seriously doubt that all of the car companies doing this have not done their homework on the subject. I mean why would they want to be sued if what they are doing is wrong?

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
