Carter GM on the lower mainlandWhat dealership are you
Probably cheaper to just put the $40k into a GIC and pay for a charter once every few weeks or so...It's bonkers what they're charging anyway. Clearly the "cost" of a truck is what the monthly payment is to most guys. Same goes for boats. I saw a couple guys on Facebook saying how "choked" they were that the banks wouldn't give them 200k loans for boats even though they had $40k down! LOL. "Bro man, bro. Stupid interest rates bro."
That's a known problem with it for 2013+. I'm surprised Cummins never did anything to make it right. I got a 2012 with 460,000km or something like that and my grid heater bolt is still snug.Buddy' 6.7 cummins with 90,000 km on it dropped a heater grid bold into the combustion chamber. New engine is $60k .... Hopefully it can be rebuilt
its the material that the bolts are made of they are stretching and backing off with all the engine vibration and lack of loc tite etc. garbage materials makes garbage results. Its just like the exh manifold bolts for the ram 1500 hemis and ford 5.4 and GM 4.8-6.0L snap off from vibration and made with junk materials. We do a $hit ton of them lolThat's a known problem with it for 2013+. I'm surprised Cummins never did anything to make it right.

About how many kms do they go, or do they just break when you need them the most.

Which ones are you referring to in the post from @kingblazer84 ? The 6.7 Cummins is anything newer than 2013. Who knows if they fixed it recently or the new trucks donāt have enough km on them to fail yet. They seem to fail all over the map but you can do the wiggle test on the plug every oil change and see if it moves. Itās the wire going from the solenoid to the grid heater. Jiggle the connection from the wire to the grid heater, and if it moves, you probably want to start digging in the near future. Lots of guys disconnect the grid heater until winter because using it makes the bolt corrode faster. Itās not that common of a problem but easy to inspect before she lets go and goes boomAbout how many kms do they go, or do they just break when you need them the most. First, I have heard of this.
ill be interested to see which trucks drop in price hopefully the duramax will at 90-120k for a truck is almost as much as my first house lol
