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.

      How to Tune 6L80 Silverado transmission

      By ballencd · Posted

      New to this forum.  Also looking to tune a 6L80 and trying to work out all the issues in my transmission swap.  I have a 6.2 diesel (1983) and have removed the TH-400 and about to put in a 6L80 with a TCM-2600 interface and don't have a clue what I doing after that.  Did you (Leatherneck/RAV3) get your slip resolved? I too hate to spend that kind of money on a tuner that hopefully I will not need too many times although from what steelerdude15 added about the HP Tuner being great for diagnostics would be a plus.  I am also from WNC but below you in Columbus.  Any helo would be greatly appreciated.

      Sounds like a smart reasonable person with common sense. Bill O’Riley never said he was just a journalist, by the way.

Video Platforms: She has contributed to PragerU, where she has hosted videos critiquing government mandates on vehicles. [1, 2, 3] Core Positions Anti-EV Mandates & Fuel Policies: Fix regularly critiques government subsidies and mandates for electric vehicles (EVs), framing them as impractical and burdensome to the average consumer. She advocates for consumer choice and supports traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. [1, 2, 3] Economic Analysis: Her commentary often emphasizes the impacts of fuel prices, inflation, and federal regulations on drivers. [1, 2, 3] Political Alignment: On her public channels, she actively supports deregulation, "drill baby drill" energy policies, and the removal of government restrictions on auto sales and manufacturing.

      Wouldn't swapping out the original AFM/DFM parts for a complete Delete Kit be the best route to go if one could afford to go that route?

      It comes with directions but yes, generally, it's the same.  Also, get you the dipstick stuff to install dipstick so you have one.
