What time did you start drinking today if you actually think GM makes 20,000 in profit on the sale of these trucks?I work in a GMC Buick dealer and can tell you you are slightly off in your arithmetic.

Was a Big GMfan here. Bought 8 gm vehicles in my 40 ish year lifetime. No more. The way I have been treated by last 3 dealers and GM. I'm done. Spend 50k on a truck and they wouldn't give me a rental car for 9 day repair. Not even a ride home. Considering gm makes at least 20,000 in profit per truck. They were willing to roll the dice and not give a loyal customer a ride home from the dealership when his 8 month old truck needed lifter/engine rebuild. They wouldn't even pay the 44 uber ride to try to keep the promises they made to me. As free shuttles, free rentals when breakdown requires 24 hours. Nope never again will I spend my money on a GM. It had the least reliable motor I've ever owned 5.3, and the most jerky transmission I've ever owned 8 speed. 

dodge been pretty good about this, when my hellcat blower bearings fail they didn't have any rental and the dealer give my brand new ram2500 Cummings diesel, I have the truck for full 2weeks until they replace the blower on my challenger.

Prove it?  I have read many experts say that the 50k to 70k trucks have 20k of profit built into that price.

 

My 2021 silverado was built in Dec 2020 by factory workers that make 2 to 3.00 an hour. I mean really 2 to 3bucks an hour. Then I see GM post record or near record profits as their sales slow. And that's after paying all the warranty claims of fixing all the problems under warranty. Then they have been using billions to tens of billions to develop ev vehicles, all from the portion of the big GM trucks/Tahoe platform. I honestly think it's even more than 20k, now that people are paying sticker price I'm thinking around 25k in profit.

 

I used to work at a huge construction company, and they would buy the fleet trucks through one if the biggest fleet companies. We could get a 38,000 f150 for 18k no questions asked we would get hundreds of them. Ford was the cheapest during the time I worked their. That's 20k off a single cab work truck 4x4. And Ford builds all their Trucks in The USA at union wages and they could drop the price 20k off their cheapest truck class. So GM paying 10 times less ca do the same or better.

That's good a dealer tries to take care of a customer.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

      Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
