Best Pricing

Getting ready to pull the trigger on either 07 Yukon XL Denali or Yukon XL. Price and the 6.2L motor have me a little hesitant on the Denali. What should I expect to pay? I have a GM Supplier certificate number, is this a better price than invoice? What is a typical invoice price percentage off MSRP? I know a few years back it was like 12% off MSRP, has that changed because now I see invoice pricing at only about 8% off MSRP.

 

Any help would be appreciated

You need to figure out what GMS is and then bargin down from that. I don't pay any more then GMS on GM vehicles for any reason. I would go for the Denali instead of the SLT. There are some weird option packages on these NBS vehicles and it really best to go for the top trim level if you can afford it.

My shorty Denali listed for 55505, I paid 48K

 

 

Fyrcaptain,

 

Thanks for the reply. Like I said, I think invoice pricing is at least 12% off, your price was about 13% off. If you consider the dealer is getting about a 3% holdback that equates to about $1500 in profit, not bad for a walkin buyer knowing what they want and ordering it, very little work for the salesman or the dealer.

 

Have you had your truck long enough to get any read on the MPG? That bigger motor has me a little concerned over MPG, I would guess 2MPG less than the 5.3L. With gas around here at $2.65 a gallon and not bound to get any better, 2MPG over 100,000 miles can add up.

Mini1,

 

GMS shows about 8% off MSRP. I have done better than that in the past by just walking in and telling the salesman I can buy the vehicle at another dealership at invoice. Some will say we can't sell at invoice and I walk. Someone will always sell at invoice and sometimes below if you hit them on the right day and they are trying to make quota for the month.

 

Just compared the Denali to the XL at the Kansas City car show this week, Denali trim level is far and above the XL. I was very impressed with the Denali.

I have the shorty Denali as well. It is simply an awesome truck. Sticker on mine was 53K or so. It had everything but the navigation which I didn't want anyway. I like to take my Nav. with me when I go out of town so I have a portable to go into rental cars, etc... Price was 42,800 with Supplier Discount on 12-31-06. Last day of the year. Black on Black and they even tossed in the custom matched painted mud-flaps. Has the polished aluminum rims, not the chrome 20" which is to much bling for my taste.

The DIC says 12.4 (avg), still on the first tank from the dealer which was regular. I plan on filling with premium and see if there is any difference.

My 07 Tahoe reads 15.3 on the DIC with 3K miles and M1 in the crankcase.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
