I wish my ordered truck would show up and I'd look under it to see. Can you run the frame rail and pop up through a grommet on the floor?

I doubt the dealership has any say in what gets loaded on a carrier. Ultimately GM wants to move inventory so if its done at the plant, I would think getting it out to market would be #1 priority. Since your truck is "sold" especially given the climate, the dealership would have no benefit to pushing your delivery out. They can put that in the books as sold and move on. From what I gather, new allocations are based on vehicles sold. So, I would think it would benefit them to get the truck there and get it in your driveway.

My dealer was allocated a build slot and my order from 1/24/22 was placed (Code 1100) on 2/4. As of now, apparently, Chevy is only allowing spray on bedliner options for the High Country trim levels. Therefore, I had to proceed without it. Not a big deal as there are plenty of options for that outside of GM. I am assuming they are having supply issues with the liner material and are rationing for their top tier models. I can only assume the Denali would fall in there as well. Of all the options I put on this truck I wasn't expecting the ChevTech spray on bedliner to throw a flag. Very early in the process here so we will see if anything else pops up.

From what I gather, all of the components will be installed just not functional. It would be a real nightmare for the dealers if they had to tear dashes and seats apart to install switches, heating elements etc.

My truck was ordered with heated wheel, heated and cooled seats, front and rear park assist. None of which will be active upon delivery. You get a small credit on the option cost for the inconvenience. When parts become available, you will take the vehicle to the dealership to have chips and or modules installed to activate the options. The dealer I ordered from was unsure as to how that was actually going to occur. I think GM and the dealers are figuring this out as they go. Thanks Covid..

I placed an order 2 days ago on 1/24/2022 for a Silverado 2500 HD CCSB, Z71 Sport, All Star, convenience 1 and 2 and Leather buckets. The dealership had 3 2500 HD's land last week that they had ordered Mid-October. They have been seeing 10-12 week delivery on the "ordered 2500 HD's". I have been searching for dealer inventory for months to conclude the only real option currently is to order. Essentially all of the "in-transit" trucks on a dealers website are already sold from what I've seen. I am also noticing the local dealerships (SW Pennsylvania) listing substantially more in transit HD's than I have seen in the past 6 months. Hopefully that is a sign that things may be loosening up and starting to move in the right direction.

How was the install? Are they a "no-drill" installation? I hate drilling sheetmetal in areas that are going to see salt spray.

I agree with his point, to a point. I believe common knowledge, and common sense is that any coating is only worth the preparation of the substrate its being applied to. The OP was asking about using it on the frame. I find it hard to believe an in-service frame could ever be prepped sufficiently enough to avoid failure of any bedliner (or paint) product. Too much factory installed undercoating, road grime, wires , fuel and brake lines etc. for any level of success in my opinion.

I second the "No" opinion above. You will get water behind it, and it will rot from the inside out. I did it in my younger days with a 91 Nissan pickup. You couldn't tell the metal was gone until you poked it and the only thing left was the bedliner material. I use Amsoil MP on the frame of my 2014. The OEM wax coating is garbage, and the dealership re-did it twice under the TSB and it failed twice.

I dropped the truck of at the dealership and explained what was happening. They are replacing the vacuum pump under warranty. Per the recall, if your VIN doesn't fall in the recall category, then they extend your warranty to 10 years/150,000 miles on the vacuum pump and the brake booster. SO, they don't want to recall all of the trucks, but will replace the parts IF you have the problem. Thankfully, I didn't have the problem while launching my boat or the truck would've been in the drink. While I understand the financial aspect of the selective recall, I don't understand it, in this instance given the nature of the failure. I guess you could always grab the gain on your brake controller and use the trailer brakes to stop the truck, right? Im sorry did you say surge brakes, oh too bad then, find something soft to run into.

Good info, I'm heading in for state inspection in the next week or two, I'll have them look at the wheel speed sensors. I'm going to try the vacuum test today after work. Thanks for the replies.

I have a 2014 Silverado Z71 CC and I'm having a sporadic ABS issue I need some insight on. Every once in a while, so far when moving slowly, I will hit the brakes and the ABS kicks on and won't stop the truck. If I let off the pedal and apply again it does the same thing. It seems like two drive cycles will clear the glitch but its un-nerving to say the least. The one time it happened while backing up with a trailer going down hill, not overloaded only about 4k total weight trailer and cargo. Makes you pucker a little when you can't stop a truck and trailer combo going backwards. Again, this has only happened at low speed but I'm starting to question how I would stop at higher speeds with or without a trailer? The most recent brake recall from GM didn't include my VIN but I'm starting to think it should have. So far all but one occurrence has happened on dry pavement in non-freezing Temps, so its not actually sliding.

I have an RC 2" leveling kit and Cognito UCA's with the bolt in ball joint. I love being able to grease the ball joint and the UCA pivots.

Springfield 9mm XD Mod 2 in an Alien IWB holster( I love this holster). I carry this most all of the time when clothing allows and I dont print too bad. Ruger LCP 2 with a neoprene pocket holster, when I am wearing light stuff, ie. summer clothes or board shorts on the boat when concealment can be an issue. S&W 357 Mag with OWB holster when tooling around at my camp, I am more worried about the four legged variety up there. Or all 3 when Im feeling extra American...

i picked my truck up last night and all seems to be well. The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) was P16F3-Internal Redundant Memory Performance. Apparently, when the ECM trips this code it can usually be fixed with a re-flash of the ECM. In my case, the dealership could get no response from the ECM when attempting a re-flash, diagnosis-bad ECM. I doesn't seem that this is a very common problem per the Service Manager, but he has seen it on other models (Cruze and Corvette). Now that I know the code and did very minimal research, it seems as though it can have different impacts and the Reduced Power Mode usually can be cleared by a drive cycle( shutting down the vehicle, removing key, opening door, closing door, restarting the vehicle). This will leave the check engine light on, but MAY allow a return to full power mode, which will at least get you to where you need to be without a tow. Unfortunately, if the ECM has an internal fault, like mine did, its a wrap. All of this was covered under warranty including the tow to the dealership. So besides a minor headache, it didn't cost me anything. Hopefully, no one else has this issue, but if you do this may shed a little light on it.

Apparently the ECM (Engine Control Module) took a dump. The dealership ordered one yesterday and it should be in today. Then they will need to install, flash and then I should be good to go. I will get more information from the service manager when I pick the truck up. I spoke with the service writer, which in my experience, their mechanical knowledge is limited with whatever is on the work order in front of them. I wish I could have scanned this at my house to see what codes it tripped, but i will get whatever info I can. Thanks for the insight. I had this issue with my wifes ride last year( 2010 Cadillac SRX). I chased it with my scanner for a while as the code trips the same for the accelerator pedal module and the throttle position sensor. Ended up being the Throttle Position Sensor which of course is non serviceable and integral with the throttle body, so i replaced the throttle body and have been fine since.

GM roadside assistance covered the tow to the dealership. I spoke to the service manager whom I’ve dealt with before. He says that the mileage and time frame on the 3/36 was close enough that he can work with GM on the repair. I’ll update when I hear from them in the next few days.

That would be an option if I wasn't cheap and paid for an OnStar subscription.

Hopefully you guys can help me out here a bit. I have a 2014 Silverado CCSB Z71 5.3 with 38000 miles on it. I was driving to work this morning and had the reduced engine power alert come up in my DIC along with the stabilitrak light. I pulled over, shut the truck off and re-started a few times with no success in clearing the codes with drive cycles. While driving, the transmission was banging gears pretty hard and the torque converter was clunking worse than "normal, by GM standards". I got to a good spot to park the truck and that is that for now. I am anticipating a tow to the dealership as I am about 20 miles away from it now for what will hopefully fall under the powertrain warranty as my bumper to bumper was up 1 months and 2k miles ago. Anyone have a similar problem with this or any insight as to what it may be. Im iffy on driving it home to scan it, as I dont want to compound any problems. I drove the truck Saturday night, probably 60 miles on the highway with no issues and it sat in the garage until this morning. Help me out, internets!

Pay closer attention to when it does it. Mine does it when switching from 4 to 8 cylinder mode. Watch the indicator on your dash and my guess is that it does it when switching modes. Im thinking its the exhaust valve myself but I haven't tried to mess with it yet, maybe this weekend. Oh yeah,, mine is a 2014 5.3
