Just saw this on the dealer lot


Recommended Posts

Posted

I was just down the dealer lot to get some Auto Trac - blue transfere case lube and there was a 2500 HD with a 4" RCD lift on it. The truck was brand new still with the dealer tag in the window on the lot. I didn't see the bottom line price with the lift. So I guess this is one that they will warranty with the lift? I imagine this is not something done through GM? The tires on it looked stock and so did the wheels.

 

I remember one time the Toyota dealer did some different options to the 4 runners when they were trying to push them out which included them with different than stock wheels. Something that the dealer did at time of getting them from the docks I was told.

 

The dealers out here do some different things to push these trucks. The same dealer was also selling Tahoes with the Chevy Thunder Package which included a different exhaust and the super charger. I don't think that package is offered any more but I may be wrong. I thought i heard that GM told them to stop selling them that way. So I wonder if this is thee next Gimmic to sell trucks with lifts included.

 

There are some used lots out here that you can get trucks already done up with lifts and larger tires.

Around the DFW area, a lot of the dealers will have a truck or two on the lot that they have tricked out. Lifts, dual exhaust, custom paint, wheels, tires etc... All of them that I have looked at had the original factory warranty.

I had my supercharger installed by my dealers aftermarket facility...full warranty on everything since they had it done. If the dealer sells it new with all of the things they do to it then they'll honor the warranty - unless you were told otherwise. I don't know if another competing dealer would honor the warrantty but the dealer you bought it from will.

    • This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com. 
    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
