Recommended Posts

:cheers:

 

You guys know when you'll see me posting...when there are screaming deals thru GM and they offer some crazy rebates.

 

Under GM employee pricing, they just added on bonus rebates from $2000-$4000 depending on model

 

SO, we have a few pickups on the lot, which are NOT selling by the way, that interest me.

 

Nothing super fancy...but I really like this one

 

2008 Sierra, Extended Cab, 2wd

 

Dark Crimson, dark cloth interior, SLE-1

 

Pro Grade package, which includes AFM 5.3, HD locking diff 3.73 gears, trailering equipment, 20-inch P60 wheels, hi-po suspension, driver pwr seat

 

29,970 sticker

26,661 employee price

24,661 after 2000 national rebate

21,661 after bonus 3000 employee bonus rebate

 

is it worth $21k

 

SLE-1 Sierra with 20's?? :lol:

 

Let's not start the "you can't own a 2wd truck in WI " thing again...

I truly am considering this truck...it's not too fancy, has the right look, the right amount of options.

 

And, considering that last winter was the 2nd worst in WI snowfall history, I only used my 4wd-hi like 3 times. That really means 4wd is not a necessity for me...

 

Would I TRADE my current 4wd Sierra?? No.

 

I would private-sale it all day long...

What's wrong with the 2008 you already have?

 

For someone with over 4000 posts you really don't follow the forum very well, now do you?

 

Putting on my hard hat because the crap is about to start falling from above!

When I bought this current 08, how can I put it...I bought the DEAL, not the truck..

 

My current 08 Sierra is about 70% up to my liking. I'm real tired of the boring stealth color, I don't have the G80 locker option, and I don't have the Z71 package.

 

I know...it's just stupid options. The truck only has 2,014 miles on it, and is in showroom shape

That does sound like a good deal...........but unless you absolutely have to get into that truck...and it doesnt sound like you do......having one already........I personally would hold off.......Gas prices aren't going down anytime soon.......and already dealers are getting stuck with their trucks.......I bet in 6 months or even a year from now there are going to be all kinds of brand new 2008's that dealers are pretty much going to have to give away.

Are you past your six months yet?....I know before that was an issue.

Wow, that was an astonishingly polite way for you to put it. Are you the same guy who posted these beauties?

Glad you asked.

 

My 6-month ownership with this current 08 will be Aug 7

 

so, another 6-7 weeks

 

Then, I can do as I wish with it...

    • HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.      
    • I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it. 
    • So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29. 
    • Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.      
    • I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
