Truck update

Chevrolet dealer just called. The fella is going on vacation and wanted to let me know he "put another $1000. off "on my truck and marked it with my name and gave me the name of another fella that could take care of me.
Sort of starting to feel gamey to me...But to my advantage...

This means I can get the truck for $43,332. before tax, title, license...

OUT THE DOOR $47,074.50

I hate to turn this down, so I'm emailing the GMC dealer to see if they will come on down... I guess I may reconsider if GMC will get close to this price. I can wait as long as required...


Leaning towards waiting...

Well now, a new development has arisen and I'm leaning towards waiting until at least the 2017 GM truck information is known. This new development is personal and has no relevance in the truck information. What does have to do with the trucks is that I'm annoyed GM has so thoroughly prevented new or any information from being leaked about the 2017's. Sure, we know there has been a slight front end redesign, as well as, what looks to be some sort of air intake in the hood area of the new 3500HD's. This leads me and others to believe GM/Isuzu has modified the Duramax and I believe from research that GM has strengthened the platforms. I cannot tolerate not knowing how much better the new trucks will be, therefore, I can't buy a 2016 at this juncture. For the record, it's still a wonderful feeling to have no debt. Heh!
I will be monitoring the situation and will post information as it becomes available.

 As soon as I get a minute, I will plasma cut light holes in rear plates to weld on ramps. Then I need to weld on receiver for draw bar winch plate, cut and move ramp spring catches, install work lights and take to a buddies shop building, put inside, remove all lights, jack trailer up off of tandem subframe and spray topcoat on bottom of bed plate, subframe and ramps and other areas to be finished... Completely! That is... Until I buy the 12k axles and wheel and tire assemblies...
