Another Truck Coming Down The Pike


Recommended Posts

Sold my 2011 on Friday & selling it thru the dealer as a "trade" (tax implications). Ordered an Ocean Blue Metallic K2500HD regular cab w/ the LT trim, 6 L, auto trans & LT265/70R17 A/T tires.

Truck in pic is similar except for missing the DPN towing mirrors & U01 roof lights.

What are they telling you for a delivery date?

I didn't even ask. SOP isn't until the week of Oct' 24. Any of my previous trucks (most recent being a 2011 K2500HD) have been 8 weeks.

 

I don't want to jinx it. My 1st truck (an '82 K15) was held for a couple months as soon as it was built. It had a new 700R4 installed in the plant before it was shipped.

delivered today and you can't pick it up until next Monday, or are you just out of town :)

There's some dealer installed stuff to be installed & I have some other items to arrange

 

- the truck was ordered on the 11th of October

- 2017 SOP didn't start until the 24th

- orders have been going in since Aug'

- any previous trucks I've ordered took 8 weeks

 

So 6 weeks to the dealer is ahead of the game in my books.

 

As an aside, a friend had ordered a Canyon earlier this year. He waited 9 weeks then ended up taking a truck off the dealer lot when the dealer/GM couldn't say when the ordered truck would be built.

No I don't.

 

Ass'y plant was Ft Wayne & the sequence # is 152855. IIRC Chev trucks have a SN starting w/ 1 while the GMCs start w/ 5.

 

Not sure if that translates into the 52,855th 2017 Chev off their line or not. Anyone know their daily production?

Brand of GMC/Chev pickup is identified by the 3rd digit of the s/n.

 

G= GMC

C= chev

(and first digit -- 1=US, 2=Can, 3=Mexico. 4=other

 

last 6 is the sequence number

 

10th digit is year, H=2017

digit 11 (the one before the last 6) is the plant

F=Flint, Z=fort Wayne, G=Silao

red, when I typed SN, I meant seq' number. When I was in the plant I think the Chev sequential number started @ 100000 while the GMCs were 500000. Not sure if this is still the case. Not sure if Ft Wayne would've built over 50,000 trucks since the 2017 SOP.

Picked up the truck this morning. Trucks a mess due to a detour on te way home & the rain & thawing snow we've got :-(

 

Took a couple of pics near the dealer because I didn't think it would make it home clean

I noticed they finally have the high beam indcator dim w/ the cluster lights. I'm been ticked off w/ that since my 2000 or 2004 trucks.
