Purchased 2026 GMC 2500 HD AT4 on Wednesday, the dealership agreed to install AT4 premium package gooseneck/ 5th wheel hitch (puck) premium package system. Upon arriving home I discovered the B&W 5th wheel is not a puck system, but one where you have to reach underneath the bed to pull the pin to remove the 5th wheel. Thinking about calling my attorney Monday as this is a $90k vehicle. What’s the recourse for this? Heritage GMC Buick Rockwall, TX.

What options were listed on the window sticker? Sounds like they installed an aftermarket fifth wheel setup and not the factory fifth wheel/gooseneck option. Not so easy to install the factory option after the truck is built. 
 

The dealer list of options doesn’t look right. The X31 Off-Road Package isn’t usually listed separately on an AT4HD. I could be wrong. 

 

i would talk to the dealer before calling your lawyer. It’s kind of on you to make sure the truck that you are buying has what you want before plunking down $90k.

You won't be able to have the dealer add the puck system.  Its a factory installed item.  

 

People have added it themselves, but its not a dealer installed thing.  You are asking them for something they can't do/won't be willing to do.

 

You have to buy the parts yourself, and install it yourself/find a shop willing to do it.  

 

The real recourse?  Live with what you've got, buy the right truck the first time, or install the factory puck setup yourself.  Put the attorney thought in the garbage.

It's all about what's in black and white. If nothing mentions specifically the puck package, then you didnt buy that option regardless of what the dealership verbally said.

When I bought my 26 3500HD,  I figured out what I wanted. I mean what I needed, then everything I wanted .Then I built one online. Let it simmer in my mind for a few days to do more research.

A couple small tweaks and I built another one online and did a search. 

The exact truck was sitting at my local dealer 3 blocks away.

Now it's in my driveway.

You gotta do your research and not assume anything.

It looks like you got Gooseneck Hitch Package 2 (#84759852)

 

I got the Gooseneck/5th Wheel Package on mine. It also says Stamped Bed Holes W/ Caps and 7 pin Trailer Harness. 

 

I haven't looked into it as I don't have a 5th Wheel trailer.

Might want to read the original post again.

 

OP wanted the factory puck setup as the truck he bought did not come with it.  The dealer added a B&W hitch system instead.

Thanks, I wasn't too sure by looking at the picture to understand what isn't there. It looks like there are 5 holes in the bed. 

 

Is the puck setup the 5th wheel hitch mechanism that attaches to the 5 lugs in the truck bed? All I can see if the ball and the 2 shackle/hook type components. 

 

From what i understood, the larger 5th wheel hitch unit drops into the 5 holes and locks in. I am curious since I have the 5 holes and could move to a 5th wheel in the future.

And by the way the AT4 premium package has nothing to do with the 5th wheel prep package. I might be wrong, but I didn't think the AT4 premium package was a dealer installed item.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.
