I'm not willing to pay MSRP for any truck after seeing that a GMC dealership in Tampa takes approximately 10% off of all new vehicles it sells. Of course some of their fees eat at that 10% but the price is still better than most.

As far as tis particular vehicle goes I can wait. I'll see what price they try to sell it for at the end of the year or January when they're not selling vehicles because everyone is paying off Christmas debt.

Bingo. These last couple of years, some dealerships stayed right at msrp and even dipped below. I refuse to buy from a dealer that has been over msrp. Scumbags

Me either. Bought my truck in aug of 22 when even more dealers were falsely jacking up their prices and I still got my truck for under msrp. Had to drive about 100mi but that’s nothing.

I hear that, dealer out in PNW had a 2024 GMC 2500 on the lot with a 10K Market adjustment on the sticker... Freaking nuts, but there are not a lot of stealerships out here who have 2024's on the lot, some fool will come along and pay it.

Just be warned, if you buy it used and it breaks down and they can’t get parts, you have very little recourse. For that type of money I’d go for new over used to be protected by lemon laws. 
 

Might be something to consider given 24 parts supply is terrible. My truck has about the same mileage as the one you are considering and has been in the shop going on 20 days straight waiting for parts.

    • Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge. 
    • There are no stickers in your glovebox?
    • Look at the numbers on the stickers in the door jam...
    • Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.
    • After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
