How long for a VIN?

JumpMaster82d · September 30, 2014

I was told that the current hold up on my vehicle exchange with GMC is they have to wait til a VIN is generated for my truck. My question is, how long from the time of order does it normally take? I was told by the sales manager at my dealer that the allocation has already been given for my build if that makes a difference.

Since there were no bites on that, are there any options to "track" the build as it progresses without calling the dealer? It's my understanding the GMCConnects.com is no longer operational.

The VIN is issued once the vehicle is built. You can contact GM customer service by PM.

You can also try here, its for Chevy but may work. http://www.chevrolet.com/order-tracking.html

Hello JumpMaster82d,

MMC is correct, the VIN is associated to the vehicle once it is built. I do understand that you may have some lingering questions or concerns regarding your vehicle order. We are happy to assist! please feel free to contact us by private message if we can be of any assistance.

So I have been informed that the production week is set for 10/20/2014, hopefully it won't be terribly long after that.

There are codes that are assoicated with building your vehicle. Such as 3800, 4200 etc. I went through this all when the camaro came back out. Your dealer should be able to tell you what code your vehicle and in turn tells you what that codes means. Theres a few main stages the vehicle sits in, one is the que for building which, building, waiting for shipment, shipment, delivery. Now those are just a few, but thats the general idea. But once your truck hits the line, it should be completed and ready for shipment in 2-4 days depending on QA/QC issues. From there it could sit for a while to get picked up by a truck or put on a train.
