Robideaux Motors in Idaho will get you any GMC and/or Buick vehicle at $300 over invoice.  I ordered a 2022 GMC Yukon Denali w/ Ultimate Package at $83,845 MSRP and my order was priced to me at $79,379.50 and this for a Yukon in which every dealer is trying to hose everyone, mostly.  Some are selling them at MSRP.  This pricing includes GMC Sierra’s and Sierra HD’s.  All GMC vehicles.  Ask for Marcey, Monday-Friday 8am to 5pm, Work text is 208-410-6250, if you call it then it will go to the dealership but if you text it then it will get to her via text.  Pam is who I dealt with and she works Monday - Thursday 8am-5pm, work text is 208-547-6012.  Pam was amazing and super easy to work with and I still can’t get over the pricing they give.  I spoke to alot of dealers throughout the country and none would below MSRP and only a handful would give it at MSRP.  Tell them Nate sent you and I promise you won’t be sorry.  I live in Texas and I have no issues ordering out of state.  I could ship it in an enclosed trailer and still save thousands of dollars.

I'd like to have Super Cruise and I'd be tempted to make the deal, but Idaho is a little further than I want to go to pick up a truck.  I'm also waiting to order the truck with everything working from the factory.  I'm not fond of buying a decontented truck that may get the features restored at some future date.  That's just my take on it.

So Nathan tell me what Pam told you to expect for delivery time on your '22 Yukon factory order?

I’m in Washington state and the dealerships around me are $5000 over invoice, glad I bought our HD in 2021,  can’t wait for things to level out.

Robideaux Motors is in Coeur d' Alene, ID; which is close to Spokane.  When I have driven by they have almost no new HDs in the lot.  

 

I bought my 2022 Chevy HD from Knudtsen Chevy in Post Falls, ID, which is a few miles closer to Spokane.  They might have one or two in the lot that aren't already sold.  

 

My truck was supposed to be here Dec 28th, but it got to the dealership yesterday Feb 4th.  It was stuck at the origin railyard due to cargo congestion.  I didn't order this truck but I bought in while it was enroute. I was very lucky as the only item that was credited and to be done later is the heated rear seats.  Trucks arriving now don't have heated steering or heated and/or ventilated seats activated.  This is due to the chip shortage I am told.  

 

I traded a 2020 6.2 Max Tow with 27,000ish miles on it.  They gave me $3k more for my 2020 that I paid for it almost two years ago.  They charged me full invoice minus my veteran discount.  They are not taking GM Family discount on HDs.  However, other locations dealers are adding $5-$10 over sticker on the HDs.  

 

I didn't ask if they would allow the GM Family discount on an order, since this truck was 99% of what I would have ordered.  It was even the right color.  Regardless, getting an HD at sticker price is a good deal around here.

Dealers can take all they orders they can get but they cannot guarantee GM will pick any of them up and build them.

The allocation number will tell all GM dealers exactly how many trucks/suvs GM will build for them over next few months. Unfortunately, this does not constrain the dealership from pre-selling more than the earned allocation, as GM does not manage this process in any way. In other words, a dealer (knowing they only have two Denali’s allocations within the next six months) can pre-sell 20 and simply tell the customer that the order has been put in. For the 18 customers who are at the bottom of the list, they are at the mercy of whatever story the dealer tells them regarding the production of the vehicle. Dealers are under no obligation to disclose how many of their earned allocations are spoken for when making pre-order sales. As such, many dealers don’t disclose this information to the customer because if they did, you would probably walk right out the door.

    • Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.

    • It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.
    • It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.
