I doubt it will be that much more, then they would be more expensive than fords, but I would expect a substantial price increase.
As Brian mentioned, they have a new, better and badder frame.
In addition they also have the SCR. SCR systems are complex, yet simple. The components of them are expensive but not $7,000 expensive.

probably because he wanted to sell you a 2009/2010.
The truth is NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THE PRICE INCREASE WILL BE.
Honestly, I really dont think it will be that much more expensive. My own guess, is an additional $1,000-1,500 at the absolute most.
Time will tell to see who is correct in their price guess.

I work with GM and have not heard of such a thing yet. But that is not to say its not true. I will have to check on that.
Expect a "substantial" price increase. All of the dealers are saying it and so are the bean counters that I know at corporate. No one is saying how much yet but rumors are all over the map. GM internally is trying to figure out how to recoup the expensive development costs associated with the ever tightening emissions laws without pricing themselves out of the market. They are toying with the idea of going with the non-US model of limited packages. At least that is what I've heard.

You are right! This will probably be the case with older model diesel trucks. I mean from early 10's and back.

Telling customers that its going to be a huge price increase is a great way to move some trucks fast.
Ive said it before, SCR is not that expensive of a system. If GM thinks its worth more than the entire Duramax/Allison upgrade was back when it came out, then they are going to be out of the Diesel market very quickly.

You know the deal. If a salesman's mouth is open... he is lying! Same thing for a lawyer.

Let's see, Ho' B'ama just dumped umpteen trillion dollars of counterfeit "money" into the "economy", do you think this will require more or less dollars to buy next year's truck, disregarding all the government mandated "improvements" to prevent global warming? I think I know the answer.....

Doesn't matter if they lower the trucks by $7K....My 05 is paid for, and I have no intention to get into any more payments. What would I get with a new truck? Urea injection, DPF filter and half the fuel economy and performance....
Dirt Cheap?
what do you mean?I live in the Hat and Trucks are not any cheaper than a year ago $62k+ for my SLE ext cab.
