I got that on my truck. Paid $0.

i realize that .. it's gotta be included in the price somewhere tho

 

 

Not on Business Choice. If you can prove via tax returns/business cards/letter heads...ect that you have a business that requires use of a truck/van then GM will cover a wide range of things from your new truck or van. From a drop in bedliner, to a complete tool box system to ladder racks to a $600 Home Depot or Lowes gift card, the program is outstanding. It is not advertised anywhere for obvious reasons. You have to know that it exisits to take advantage of it. Both GMC and Chevy have programs with logo based products (i.e toolbox says GMC if you get a Sierra). I got all 3 toolboxes for $0 on NBS thanks to this program. I don't think Ford or Dodge or Toyota or Nissan offer anything like this on their trucks/vans.

If Toyota gave me a garage and a new house with their truck, I would still buy a GMC to drive!!

I heard about it too, but they wouldn't let me do it! I guess they wouldn't buy that my wife was going to use the truck for her Mary Kay business!

Those look awesome man...I wish I could get a set for my truck. Nice to keep the tools and stuff organized.

 

I like that they are under the bed rail so you could still put a cover on the truck. Unlike with normal truck storage boxes.

Aiden,

 

Thanks. Oh yeah, I also put down a really heavy rubber mat on the bed floor to keep stuff from sliding. It really works well.

The rubber mat may work good...Thats a good Idea...god I'm dumb...LOL

 

I would still Like to have lockable storage though for tools and stuff. Just have to find something that fits under the bed rails. Or build one.

Does anyone know if this offer is retro-active? I have a buddy who got a new Seirra last week and never heard of this until I showed him this post. What are his chances of getting the dealer to give in to this great offer after the sale has been completed? He does have a contracting business, so that is no problem.

He can try. It's worth a shot. Just have him pull all the files in advance to prove that he has a business and go back to the dealer and tell them that he was never told of this program that he qualifies for.

    • WOW, something we agreed on. I only bought at sticker twice. A 94 impala ss and an Acura intagra type r. Made money on the first. Still have the second.
    • I prefer new, but not without a deal. Historically I've bought severely aged new inventory, leftover model year, unpopular configuration kind of stuff that sits around on dealer lots until they just want it gone. $10k off MSRP kind of stuff on a mid-priced truck. That really, really helps knock down that first year depreciation. It also requires being somewhat flexible on colors and options. I wouldn't buy a 4 cylinder if I was looking for an 8 cylinder, but if I got blue paint instead of black, or a great deal was lacking a minor option, I'm willing to overlook those things for savings.   Used <> used. Condition and history are everything. If I'm buying used I'm looking for cream of the crop. The truck from the guy who religiously pampers it, and then decides a year later he wants newer and nicer. NOT the ex-rental vehicle, or the crew cab traded in by the family with 7 kids who like to throw food, and the oil only got changed when there was time long after the oil life monitor started alerting.
    • @Grumpy Bear the conclusion from your post about doubling engine life has me curious. Are we literally talking an expected life of 250,000 miles potentially becomes 500,000 miles with a step up in filtration for fresh oil at "the oil factory" when it's bottled? I know you said that's a single variable among many, but, that's significant if the implication extends that far into a real world use case. I would think the oil marketing folks would really eat that up and make it known.   Particles introduced during oil change is a fairly easy one to avoid, but probably not intuitive as one would think. I.e. using a clean funnel. But...what was it wiped with? Paper towel leaves behind little fibers. A solvent if not dried is not something one would want to introduce into their engine with clean oil. And, keeping the oil filler neck clean and free of buildup.. Look at some guys engine bays and they're an absolute mess. Some say that's better than the drawbacks of cleaning it. I'm not a buyer of that idea.   I've also wondered if "flooding" the top end of the engine with oil while filling is a bad idea. During normal lubrication the oil flows in a gutter back into the galleys. But if you flood the area you're potentially washing the top of the rockers, springs, and other areas which may not get much oil wash normally, and you're mixing all that into the new oil. I just don't have the patience to pour slowly. 😆    
    • It was a bad pump, i had a dealer next day the pump. Gm part #86591535. Tools needed 10mm socket, pliers for hose clamps, 1/2gal of Dexcool. About 30mins to remove and install, pump located near oil filter on driver's side frame rail. I had a local mobile mechanic delete the code, he had a snap on scan tool. My scanner could not delete the code. I drove back home about 700 miles since then, and no check engine light. Hope this helps someone in the future in the same situation i was in. Thank you to all that helped me.
