Price Quote For 2008 2500 Hd


Recommended Posts

Posted

I just got a quote of $30,024.00 for a new 2008 2500 HD 6.0 litre. The price on the widow sticker is $34,700. It is a W/T but it is loaded, Chrome wheels, chrome bumpers and grill, P/W, P/DL, keyless entry, CD player and more that I can't remember. One thing it does not have that I want is a hitch and a plug on the back. I will try to negotiate the hitch and plug into the deal if I go for it.

So what do you think, is this a good deal? Thanks for any advise. Oh yea, It is a 4x4 crew cab with short bed. The color is black with grey interior. I live in the Philadelphia area.

I just received a quote on a 08 2500 HD ext cab 4x4 gasser SLE2 loaded for invoice price less incentives. The dealer is a member of the Autonation group. No haggle internet price. Dealers in this area of south Texas have little to no stock so this would be a custom order price.

I got pretty much the same truck for the same price. Mine is a 2007 CCSB 4x4, W/T. Only difference is is mine has the hitch but does not have power windows. I also got GM step bars and bedliner( which I don't like but it was already on the truck) included.

I picked up an o8 gmc ext cab long box in january. It would be smart for you to get a gm credit card if your a faithful gm buyer. My gmc listed for around 42000, I had gm credit card points, the cash back at the time, loyalty bonus, plus what the dealer knocked off. I was out the door for 31500. ;)

Got my Dmax at the local dealer for 37 OTD it is an LT with DIC and they threw in the bedliner and DIC for nothing. If I had noticed it I would of gotten the cab lights too but forgot to look when I was buying this one. My Bad LOL

I think you should be able to improve on that.

Well, I ended up getting a 08 silverado 2500 HD 4x4 Extended cab short bed with the 2LT package for $30,050.00. It has the 6.0 engine and its the same color as WVSilverado's truck, with the light gray / silver... almost white interior. I went to look at the black crew cab that I spoke of above, and when I tried to take a test drive, the d**n thing wouldn't start. A brand new truck on the lot with a dead battery. There were three men working on it to get it started. They had the hot shot box out, and all the truck would do was go "click". The owner of the dealership was standing there watching and appoligizing to me,but the longer it took, the more I was looking at the red truck. Finally I said let me take the red one out, so he gave me the keys, and the minute I got in the red truck I didn't want the black one anymore. As I was pulling out of the dealer test driving the red truck, they were STILL working on the black one. When I got back from the test drive, the black truck was running. I went into the dealer and started talking to the owner about the red one. I asked him if he could give me the red one for the price he quoted me for the black one. At first he laughed, and then he said" let me see what I can do". When he came back over to me, he gave me the price of $30,050.00, $26.00 more they the black one, so I said OK lets do some financing and the next thing I knew I was pulling out of there with my new truck. The truck had a window sticker of $37,770.00.My wife wanted me to get the black one because it was a crew cab, but there was no way I was going to take the W/T over the 2LT with the Z71 package on it for the same money. Don't get me wrong, the W/T was nice,just not as nice as the one I got.

Its funny,when we arrived at the dealers that morning, I told myself that I wasn't buying anything that day, and two or three hours later I was leaving with the new truck. And they were not pushy about anything. Although I had to sit through a short movie about extended warrantys ( bad spelling).

95 Chevy, I would say that $7.7k off of sticker is a good deal! That is more of a deal like I was thinking a "good" deal is. I got my truck that was stickered at a little over $29K for $21K so we were in the same ballpark! I hope you like the truck, Now get a tune and have fun!

It's amazing how much more Crew Cabs are than Ext Cabs. They gave you 3 levels up worth of options over a bigger cab.

I ran into an extended cab sort bed LT2 4X4 D/L for $ 36,900. Then there was a crew cab long bed 4X4 D/A long bed for 36,600 at another dealership, but in LT1 trim. They both had optional leather seats. The crew cab truck actually had more nice options such as power sliding rear window, bedliner, remote engine start, skid plates, and brake controller. They both were new left over '07s. Which one would you rather buy? That LT2 package quite frankly does not get you much more than the LT1, except for the bucket seats and center console.

LT1 vs LT2 -without the LT1 Convience Pkg has more than just bucket seats and center console. There is the upgraded DIC, Dual Automatic Climate Controls, and don't forget that on the LT2 both seats have power adjusters. The last time I priced it out, the LT1+ Convience Pkg was only a couple hundred $$ different than the LT2

Sounds like it was a fun experience. I remember when I was little back in '98 my dad was looking at Blazers, the one he liked wouldn't start cause of a dead battery, so he just said "if its got problems already..... next Blazer" :)

    • 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.  
    • 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. 😉
    • 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.
