I've got a probably stupid question because I've never ordered a vehicle in my life.  If you order a vehicle, are you expected to pay MSRP on it or can you negotiate prior to ordering or when it's delivered?  Not that I'm going to order one @Pryme.  Don't get your hopes up.

You can negotiate.  I’ve purchased from the same dealer for years and they have always been fair and competitive without even needing to negotiate.

Interesting.  Thanks for educating me.  I never knew that.

Back in the old days a GMS (stock) was 15% off and GMO (order) was 18% off so I ordered almost all of my trucks. 

 

The old days like pre 2020?

I don't know.  I've said this before and I'll say it again.  If I ever buy another HD, it will be a 3500 GMC with the diesel engine in it....period.  Go for the gusto.

My last several trucks have been diesels and absolutely love ‘em.  They drive great, very quiet and tow awesome and have not had all of the “emissions nightmares” you read about on the forums. I said in the past here that if the 10spd Allison was to be made available for the gas truck I’d give it a try, so thats how I ordered my 24.  Worst case I go back to the diesel, it should be a great comparison and it’s saving me $9390.00!

I think that ended sometime around the mid 2000's 

I leased a 99 2wd, well equipped Tahoe for $150 per month all in without a penny down, and that was a 15k per yr lease. I had it about 16 months and put over 20 k on it. I kept it longer than the original contract of 12 months because my new truck was delayed in being built. Even keeping those few extra months only cost me $180 per month.

LTZ trim color "slate grey" has a constraint on the builder that requires a black 18" wheel.  Seems weird  because there was an LTZ truck at a show in slate grey with the chrome 20s.  I bet its a glitch in the builder.

I have an Equinox build that was placed a couple weeks ago and the "Iron gray metallic" was on restraint for the balance of the 23 model year. I asked the salesman "Doesnt anyone in Mexico sell paint ?"  

I knew the answer but the smart a$$ in me couldnt resist. GM is a multi Billion dollar operation, they cant get a few drums of paint delivered ?

Several Idaho dealers are telling me I can order a 2024 2500 AT4 now and it may show up in time for Christmas.  A dealer in Boise has one that is scheduled to arrive in Idaho on April 7.  I gave them a $1000 to put my name on it.  I have the build and the VIN.  Does that sound correct?  Is anyone taking delivery so quickly?

Both Flint and Oshawa have changed over to 2024s.  Flint has been shipping 2024s for a few weeks.  Oshawa just started shipping 2024s late last week.

Thanks!  This one is from Flint.  It sounds like I'll be one of the earlier ones to have this in Idaho, anyway.  I bought a 22 refreshed 1500 AT4 with a 3.0 l, it was my dream truck.  However it didn't get the expected mileage while pulling my 24' bumper-pull RV.  I didn't use much DEF around town, but it sure went through it while pulling.  I was very surprised.

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
