I got 8% below msrp deisel 3500 denali look for something at or below msrp.

I find that hard to believe as that is over a $7,100 savings on an $89 k truck. I KNOW they don't have that much room on their invoices. I know my local sales manager well, and he showed me that they only have about $2,800 margin over invoice on MSRP, they rely on volume sales & making another $5-$6k on your trade. That's why they don't really like cash deals also.

At my dealer, they never had a markup on MSRP...not even during Covid. They still don't but they also don't offer any discount...yet! They are a very high volume dealer and they are still selling a lot of trucks! I was looking at two with a diesel, although I really wanted gas. They came in and got sold within days!

No sir Bruce

me and Robbie both had to travel across several states to get that deal.

Total savings for me

Dealers around here adding 5k to msrp 92k would have been 97k.

I paid 83k, 14k savings for me well worth it for me.

I see you ordered yours. I did the same. Great that they gave you that deal even though you ordered it and not because they just had a lot of trucks in stock.

Yes sir I did, they couldn't keep them in stock and were sold before they hit the lot, so we placed an order and 111 days later it was there and man this truck is nice

Ahhh.....so you both ordered! 

 

If I didn't have to drive across the country, I would have done that...although, since I am retired, would be easy to do!

Yes sir we did, then I flew in to Tampa the dealer picked me up at airport, gave me a full tank of fuel a  smack on the butt lol and sent me on my way 10/15 min total at dealer. Everything else I did online.

Good to hear you fellas are doing okay with your new trucks and sharing information !

When browsing online in British Columbia at dealerships its quite a bit of comparing different trucks as its not apples to apples most time .  

I have a few more questions for you fellas and hoping I ger a lot of replies .

 

#1  On the 2500 HD I see you can get an off road package . I off road some tricky stuff while hunting but its not like Im bouncing off bumps and hills so would it really be needed . I mean I could just buy factory skid plates and put them on my self for  protection ,no ? 

I saw a 3500 HD that had the Z package and was priced close to a 2500 without that option .

 

#2 I also saw a 2500 HD with 2 alternators and dual batteries . Wont be getting a camper but travel trailer of some kind we will . So what do you think of that option ?

 

#3 There's also one on a lot that has the snow plow package What's that all about ?

 

#4    if the 2500 HD truck bed is already drilled for gooseneck and fifth wheel is it set to go for either of those application except  for buying a fifth wheel for the box ?Thank You !

#1 Robbie should know more (he is the hunter) I am the camper guy 

#2 if it's there it's there eitherway is fine, your camper will have it's own battery so not need for travel trailer. 

#3 from what I understand snow package will have heavy-duty springs up front similar to a 3500 spring and may or may not have the extra alternator.

#4 exactly as stated and way cheaper than after market, takes up no bed space and is a good resale point for some of us.

    • Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions? 
    • 2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!  
    • Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?. 
    • He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it. 
    • I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
