Well got an itch today and went to my local GMC dealer and checked the new 07 Sierra. Wow nice truck..I really like the GMC front end and the interior pretty nice also. The one I looked at was alot cheaper then my 06 was. My truck was a 4x4 XC LT3 with sun and sound and Vortec Max package. Bought my chevy new in July of 06 the msrp was 42k I paid 35k OTD including tax with 0% apr.

The GMC I was looking at had the Vortec Max but no sun roof and was 2wd. The msrp was 34k. I think if I do the trade I will lose my ass! Any body have an idea of just how much I will lose? I wish I would have waited for the 07 :banghead: What do you think?

I can't give you any numbers, but they will KILL you on your trade in. Many lots still have NEW classic style trucks for sale that they will have to heavily discount to get rid of. To take in yours and make a profit, they will have to completely rape you to do it.

 

 

I say wait a year or so, let the new trucks like yours clear out and the market stablize a bit eliminating both models of new trucks.

 

Not what you wanted to hear, but it is what I would do. Sounds like you have a sweet ride the way it is!

I agree, your ride right now is awesome. Also, I have heard it is best to wait a year before buying a new design so they are able to work out the kinks.

I'd wait to get the kinks out as well. Besides that MAX motor that you have now is a great, my moms got it in her Escalade. With your 4:10 gears I am sure that it is a lot more powerful then her Escalade is.

Just so you know..

 

 

My step dad thought the same as you...

 

His truck is as clean as the day it came off the lot and only has 600 miles on it.

 

Every avaliable option. The highest any dealer offered him....20k

A dealer will only give you wholesale value on your trade. If you want retail you'll have to sell it yourself.

I always recommend the same. If you want to get top dollar for your old car, you have to sell it yourself. Especially if it's more than three years old the dealer is probably going to sell it to a wholesaler, so they won't get much for it, either.

:crackup: Yeah When it comes to money I think long and hard........

 

Thanks fella's for all the reply's, I've decided to wait and just give my 11 year old son my truck when he hits 18. I'll probably go diesel at that time. The only thing I worry about is I have started to mod my truck and I will probably keep going. By the time he gets it his first truck it might be in the high 12's. I can see a Radix in my trucks future! Lucky kid..

      287,500 Mile Service   8/13/2026   Reset Fuel Trims   Since the work done in the previous post there was a good improvement in response in all areas except right after a fill up where the LTFT would go -20%+ for about four miles while the STFT was near neutral. Before the work they both went very negative for a few miles after a fill up but act normal thereafter.    We did a systems check of the vapor recovery system for functionality and ability to hold a vacuum. That checked out fine. But this doesn't mean the charcoal canister is dead in the water. Testing that is next up. For now the reset of the fuel trims.    I intentionally shorted the fill exactly two gallons to eliminate any chance of filling the canister. On start up the trims were behaving normally until I got up and rolling where the LTFT went -10 / -11%% but the short was + 2 to 0%. Within a mile the the STFT offset the LTFT and by 2 miles they were neutral. HUGE improvement but still not hunky-dory.    I'll watch them for a few days. Perhaps another tank where I will fill completely to 'first click' and compare. Meanwhile on the hunt for a new canister and I'll toss another purge value at it for good measure. Pending the outcome of the canister test that is. Progress of any kind is welcome.    Fuel economy improvement with bringing hole #3 back to the living was a noticeable bump to the positive. Even on the few miles I drove after the refill I already see another bump up by the trims reset.     She's purring like a kitten with a warm bowl of milk.    BTW, adding 50 rpm to the idle took the majority of the negative timing out on cold start up and leaned the cold idle. No longer burbles in the cat. What a dumb way to heat a cat.

      Yeah, shame I can’t really get that filter easily anymore. Running a PureOne. Your fave!    TAN would be neat to see. Confirmation I ran it too long probably. 🤣

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By superdave160 · Posted

      My son and I both bought new trucks in 2017. Both of us immediately put Truck Covers USA American Roll Covers on our trucks. My son still has his truck and it never sees the inside of a garage. We live in Alabama, so not much snow. My truck was my daily driver and was in the garage when I wasn't driving it or at work. No issues with either cover even after almost 9 years. About a year ago I sold my truck to my brother and bought a 2025 Silverado 2500. The second thing that I put on that truck was a new Truck Covers USA cover. They are very well made and have a very positive locking system. I looked at a Retrax and my concern was the way that the cover locked to the rail. BTW, the first thing I put on the new truck was step bars. Those new trucks are high!

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      The Allison 10 speed torque converter doesn't "lock up" like the previous transmissions. It has 4 operational modes; open, slip, transition from open to slip; transition from slip to open. I have an Edge CTS3 monitor and I monitor transmission torque converter slip. Step on the gas and you get a little slip. Take your foot off the gas and you get a little negative slip. I have not found a way to display the torque converter mode beyond that. My Edge CTS3 also displays something that our trucks should already display, the current gear. I also monitor throttle body position and engine load. If I see the engine load getting too high, I'll manually drop a gear.

      Nice result. Your filter is working well  I'd have like to have seen the acid number for this sample. Curious type that I am.
