This forum amazes me how the banter on a subject can go on and on. Buying a vehicle at this time makes no sense at all unless you are walking and have to buy now. 

Anybody can ask any price they want for a product, doesn't mean you have to buy.

Called 2 more dealers within 100 miles and were told NO AGAIN on ordering with the Friends and Family Discount. Guess no new GMC 2500 for me. I can't pay over MSRP for a truck that's going to depreciate like crazy in a year or so

Do what I did and search the low mile used market, honestly you'll get a better truck as you can't order with some of the options right now... Be prepared for dealers to try some screwy stuff, and be ready to walk if they do.

I just talked with my guy at the dealership to get his permission to post this for anyone that is interested. 

 

I put my order in June 16 for a 22 GMC 3500HD and it wasn't until Sept 2nd that they had an allocation I could use (I was 7th in line for the 2022 GMC HDs).  By Sept 7 I was at code 2000 which means it was picked up and right now I am at 3400 with a TPW of this week 10/4.  That timing by itself is impressive but I could still get hung up and end up waiting for delivery because of a constraint or other unknown issue. 

 

Anyway, the reason for this post is my dealership is honoring the special pricing for GM employees, friends and family (which is I am using), and suppliers with no dealer markups or BS.  In his words they are honoring the discounts because they are not looking for a one time payday (from a big markup) that ends up pissing off your customer (who doesn't come back) and generates bad press. Instead they are in it for the long term relationship and word of mouth advertising that comes from treating people right.  It's a Buick/GMC dealership in lower Michigan.  If you are interested in the contact information send me a PM.

 

** Remember even a solid dealership cannot control allocations, constraints, unplanned GM plant downtime, orders put in before yours, etc.  But if you get in line I feel they will treat you right and let you have the discount you are entitled to.

Would love to use your dealer but I’m in Alabama. If someone knows of a dealer in this area, I’d love to give them a shot. I still want a truck, just need to find a dealer. Ha ha. Thanks

Any UPDATES on Dealers accepting Friends and Family in the Southeast yet? THANKS

I cannot speak to Friends and Family but I will say I finally found a dealer willing to do the Supplier pricing but only on a new order vehicle, nothing they had on the lot. I'm in Houston, so southeast adjacent. 

 

I will also say it took me calling at least 15 dealers before I got a yes.

You might just need to go out of state.  Not a bad drive back down to Alabama from Michigan.  I am in mid Michigan and only found 1 dealer that wouldn't honor the gm discounts.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
