My guess would be too few Missouri members...if you were from Texas that would be another story. But anyways, welcome!

I'm from poplar bluff Missouri,and I'm new to this forum but we are car dealers down here. I'm looking for a Chevy or gmc 2500 right now not with the 6.0 in it. Also, I need it to be between 01-05. If you guys find anything let me know the miles don't matter.

I know this is an old thread, but I was curious if you could all help me out on which GMC dealers in the St. Louis area seem to have the best bottom-line prices on a trade-in plus a new GMC vehicle purchase? I haven't seen many people be able to top Laura Buick in Collinsville, IL. Any suggestions would be great!

LOL. My brother shopped at about every GM dealer in STL and ended up buying from Laura GMC in Collinsville. Seems like they are straight-shooters. He said that they came out with the pricing sheet and showed where the price they were asking was below invoice, supplier, employee, etc. And they gave him what he was wanting on his trade-in. He ended up with a blk on blk 2014 GMC Denali 4wd. I think his deal was better than the one I got for my 14 Silverado LTZ Z71.

 

If you want to stay on the STL side of the river, try Fusz, Bommarito, Sinclair, just to name a few.

Wow! Been over a year since anyone has posted anything here. I thought I would chime in to bump this post and see if it can be brought back to life. I'm in the St. Louis area, but grew up down at LoZ. Prior to becoming a GM guy, I was part of another truck forum and we used to have some meets in the area that were a pretty good time. Also did some local group buys from time to time. I must say, this site is much better than the other one I'm referring to, would be fun to try to get something set up for us GM owners.

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
