Just a little information we got in GM-Dealerworld this morning,It looks like 2008 production is going to go until the end of August.

 

 

To: All Chevrolet Dealers

 

From: Brian Maki, Silverado Marketing Manager

 

RE: 2008 Silverado Build-Out Packages

 

As you are completing the June Consensus Cycle with your District Manager, please be guided by the following:

 

· This is the final 2008 consensus for Light Duty Regular and Extended Cabs, with production ending the last week of August.

 

Don't get caught short on the discounted models.

 

· With regard to regular cab:

 

*Ford's information shows that the new 2009 F-Series models being introduced in Q3 will not have a V6 offering. Let's take advantage of this opportunity by getting aggressive with V6 models.

*V6 regular cabs are now among the fastest turning models CYTD.

 

· With regard to extended cab models:

 

Market trends denote a notable shift from crew cab to extended cab as a result of the segment headwinds. Earlier we announced three packaging plays:

 

* Reintroduction of the "All-Star Edition" – all the highly desired content bundled into a quick-spec package with a $1200 package discount. This is Silverado's fastest turning configuration.

 

* Introduction of the "LS" Extended Cab – all the right equipment at a fantastic price of $25,915.

 

* Complimentary Leather – if you're looking for something different as an alternative, we're offering no charge leather on 1LT models ($800 Value). Simply build your 1LT models with the Light Duty Power Pack and leather to get a combined package discount of $1300.

 

Dealers ordering their remaining 2008 MY allocation without these packages are at risk of having price disadvantaged inventory.

 

Remember, these packages are also available on crew cab models for all remaining 2008 model year DOSP cycles.

 

Good selling!

Is that their way of saying we know we have a lint problem and are too cheap to fix it? Instead we'll give everyone leather? What about the current owners. :troll:

GM has excellent customer service. What's that? You already gave them your money? Oh, well, back of the line for you......

That's because the average person doesn't compare the milage between the v6 and 5.3. At first I was looking for a v6 due to gas prices but, I quickly discovered that the 5.3 and v6 get exactly the same mileage so I went the 5.3. Plus the v6 sucked when I test drove it.

MS3DALE,

 

Do you have any info like this, concerning the GMC brand???

 

Also, as an off-topic note...the rebates right now really suck; and we are not moving trucks/Yukons at all...

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      I thought I was building a HD 3500 srw, maybe I was lost.

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      No doubt, I definitely agree with you. However, considering the 6.2 and 3.0 have been catastrophically failing with very little miles, I figured I would put trouble free. I’m at 18,4xx and still not a single issue.

      It’s never dry here but it gets hot. My 4 vehicles I keep at home drive an 18 mile loop. One 6 days a week. Two about 3 days each and one once a month. Only one goes on trips about 4 times a year 1000 to 2000 miles each time. One 26 years old gets driven once a month for 22 years. One 14 years old goes 6 days a week. The other two are recent at 2 and 4 years. All are performing normal no extra service other than that would be half of recommended or severe service in the maintenance manual. No extra water or steam out the exhaust or premature plug wear. I would consider an 18 mile loop would be enough. So apparently once a month at 18 miles for 22 years has kept the collector car running well. About 45 minutes a month.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By newdude · Posted

      It is working as designed.  NHT and non NHT trucks have the same exact transmission cooling setup.  NHT just gets a larger radiator.     The transmission cooler loop on these is as follows.     -Transmission out goes into an oil to water heat exchanger (item #1 in the first illustration below).  This exchanger has engine coolant opposite the transmission fluid and uses engine coolant to warm and then regulate the transmission fluid temperature when its in the operating window.   - From the cooler it goes to a thermal bypass valve (item #11 in the 2nd illustration below).  If the ATF has not reached the temp to open the bypass (194F), it loops back.   - When it reaches 194F, the thermostat opens and ATF then flows out to the oil to air auxiliary cooler (item #17 in the 2nd illustration) at the front of the truck.  From there it goes back to the transmission.     Your only fix would be to swap for the PPE thermal bypass delete block which will open the loop to the aux cooler all the time.  It will STILL run warm, probably 170-200F, but that's as low as you'll get it as its still flowing through the oil to water exchanger.

      Most say the oil temperature needs to above the boiling point of water to rid it of moisture and long enough to dry it. Many think that is about a hour at 212 F or more. Those people have never line dried cloths in a Midwest winter. Leave a pan of water sitting on the counter and eventually it all evaporates. So heat drives the time it takes. Water in oil under 175 F, the Nitration initiation temperature, is a minimum then for temperature and samples I've done that use Karl Fisher method say about a hour (in a healthy well tuned motor) over 175 F will dry it to under 800 ppm. Low enough to not be much of a factor. Motors with weak rings will take longer and the colder the air temperature the longer it takes.   On a cold motor there is also the condensation temperature. Blowby gases that contain moisture are subject to that cold cylinder wall, like sweat on a glass of ice tea. But also subject to the Law of Partial Pressures. Wear studies by GM and the DOD  indicate wear is a real issue below 85 F and a concern to 140 F but doesn't become a minimal factor until about 160 F. You know this intuitively when you see water vapor exit the exhaust pipe until the system gets above the dew point. It isn't magic, it's physics and it fascinates me. I know you didn't ask but....I over share sometimes. 😉    You keep the Camaro's high and tight.
