I just talked with my guy at the dealership to get his permission to post this for anyone that is interested.
I put my order in June 16 for a 22 GMC 3500HD and it wasn't until Sept 2nd that they had an allocation I could use (I was 7th in line for the 2022 GMC HDs). By Sept 7 I was at code 2000 which means it was picked up and right now I am at 3400 with a TPW of this week 10/4. That timing by itself is impressive but I could still get hung up and end up waiting for delivery because of a constraint or other unknown issue.
Anyway, the reason for this post is my dealership is honoring the special pricing for GM employees, friends and family (which is I am using), and suppliers with no dealer markups or BS. In his words they are honoring the discounts because they are not looking for a one time payday (from a big markup) that ends up pissing off your customer (who doesn't come back) and generates bad press. Instead they are in it for the long term relationship and word of mouth advertising that comes from treating people right. It's a Buick/GMC dealership in lower Michigan. If you are interested in the contact information send me a PM.
** Remember even a solid dealership cannot control allocations, constraints, unplanned GM plant downtime, orders put in before yours, etc. But if you get in line I feel they will treat you right and let you have the discount you are entitled to.
