What is everyone seeing for pricing on 2024 Silverado 2500's when ordering? Nothing on the lot for the options I want. Spoke with two dealerships and both won't budge off MRSP. Curious if that is the norm or if its a Colorado thing.

I get GM pricing so its already set. 

Back in the day we got 18% off an order and 15 off an in stock truck. Those days are long gone. 

I get GM Supplier pricing. Was just wondering if there was wiggle room on the price like some of the GMC dealerships have been doing.

Yes a couple of them discount and a couple of them add 5/7k to msrp

I get GM employee pricing so price is set. Was about 11% off my particular truck. 
 

Most dealers around me advertise some discounts off MSRP of varying amounts, but nothing close to employee pricing.

How are those Lasfit backup and plate lights working for you ?  I have been considering them. 

They are great! I have no complaints whatsoever...I used them on my 1500 also and had 3 years no issues.

Ordered a 2024 GMC Sierra 2500HD AT4 today. 6.6L Gas, Sterling Metallic, AT4 Preferred Package, Snow Plow Prep/Camper Package, Gooseneck/5th Wheel Prep Package, 700 CCA Aux Battery.

 

I won’t be plowing or using the gooseneck/5th wheel hitch but figured for less $1000 now it will be easier to sell than a 2500HD without any options. Will add running boards and an ARE cap when it arrives. 
 

Sales guy said it will take 4 months. We’ll see! Reason I ordered was so I can get through hunting season, most of winter and get what I want. 
 

Have had a few older 2500 trucks in the past and mostly 1500 trucks since then. Do not need a 2500HD to tow my boat but like the lack of cylinder deactivation and stop/start.

Same here. 1500 would have fit my needs okay but I just couldn’t justify the half ton gimmicks and insane prices. All I saw were luxury trucks for a lot more than I paid for my base 2500. I don’t regret my decision at all. Been over a year now with it. I have the plow camper 5er pkgs too so it’s not a stripper model I guess.

Nice. I built 2023 and 2024 1500 AT4s with 6.2L and 6.5’ bed and it’s only $2k or so difference than the 2500HD AT4 I ordered and they have DFM and start/stop. Can always press the start/stop button every time you start the truck but can’t change the DFM, at least not conveniently.

Good Luck. I ordered my 2024  in early June and was told the same thing. I stopped in to see how things were going last month and Chevy had not even given an allocation yet.

That sux. Hopefully it goes through. 
 

I talked to one of my cousins the other day who was an exec at GM about getting a friends and family discount. Then called the sales guy and they won’t honor it. My cousin told me she can make a phone call to push my order through. I’m going to take her up on that if it looks like it’s going to take forever.

Got back from vacation today to see a text from the dealer. my truck is officially in transit and scheduled to arrive in Tampa Florida on 10/28. Tentatively planning on picking it up the weekend of November 3rd. overall a great end to a great vacation with family and friends.

 Never heard of a dealer not honoring gm discount. I've used it on all my new  gm vehicles at various dealers.

Most in my area do. Then there’s the one in my area that does…but also tries to make up the difference by offering several thousand less on trade in value.   
 

But I also live in Big 3 country. Ive read about dealers not taking gms especially in the past couple years but I don’t think dealers in this area could do that without losing a lot of customer base.

    • www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.
    • Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.         
    • I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far. 
    • I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install. 
    • Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.
