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!

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.

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
