A Gm dealer told me today that 2.4% for 72 months is coming 05/01 on the HD's. I asked if it included the 2024"s and he replied it did as far as he knows. we will need to wait and see.

I would love it if this were true but I'm not holding my breath.

Seems likely since I have been seeing financing deals pop up on TV ads lately. 

GM's HD trucks are their cash cow and Mary is going to need to make at least 27 mill to stay out of the slums.

Please be true!!!  I’ll be tickled pink!  Just worked a deal on a 2024 ZR2 that is in transit with an ETA of May 7

What kind of deals have you seen for HD's?

Well that's poor timing for us then as we just crossed the T's and dotted the i's  on our new 2500 HD and it's in the driveway.

Ive seen about 4k off, a few up to 5k and more around the 3k mark

also still a ton of dealers are MSRP, at least in so cal area

23s have had finance deals for awhile but think inventory is much gone at this point

 

2.4% for 72 is almost attractive enough to swap mine as I been getting increasing offers to sell last few months, still though would have to start over and lose TTL $......prolly not smart, lol

 

sure some dealers will pull their discounts in lieu of the finance offer, just depends on sales #s

 

Laura out in Missouri is 5k plus off I believe on GMC HD and they had a ton of em last I checked

I havent been looking for one so I havent paid any attention to specifics, its just a generalization of what I am seeing on the TV locally.  I do know that Flint is still running 3 shifts and some overtime so GM must feel demand is higher than supply. 

Mine is less than a yr old andI have been forbidden from looking at new trucks until I get some things paid off.  😎

I'm still waiting on mine.  I placed the order in March 2023, it was built March 3rd 2024 and now it is sitting in Flint.  I can get Supplier Discount so that will help.  I would love it if they would do 2.4% for 72.  My luck the deal will expire and my truck will still be in Flint. LOL

My truck has been in Flint almost 2 months.  I see several 2500's arriving at dealers around here but most are from Oshawa.  I don't know if GM is having trouble shipping to this area from Flint or what.  Demand still seems high as even trucks not already sold don't stay on the lots long around here.  It sure is tough to justify trading a 1 year old vehicle though.  I see your issue. 😀

My guess would be that the truck is in validation/repair  and not released for shipping. I am not seeing the lots as full of unshipped trucks like before. I saw my friend that works for Precision (the company that stages the trucks for shipping in Flint) and he didnt mention any particular issues. 

 

If you dont get any answers from the dealer send me a PM.

I got a flyer in the mail over the weekend offering 1500's at 2.4% for 72. Unfortunately no 2500's.

In Canada they are offering 0% on 1500 not sure of all the details though

2.4 for 72 on HD would be pretty impressive......they dont need to incentivize HD like 1500s, if you can get a discount and that promo rate thats a slam dunk....they would really start flying off the floor......like poster above stated its probably for 1500s......HD would be good at even high 3s to5%.....seen them advertising like 8 or 9% on dealer sites.....

 

All my HD have been made in Flint, i figured it was normal

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.
