GM is super secretive about rebates, the dealers don't even know until the day they announce them to the general public. No one has any insider knowledge.
Don't put too much stock in what they tell you, mine went from shipped to sitting in Flint, to on a train to LA, then to KY and all kinds of other stories. Then it randomly showed up yesterday.
GM could stand to update their vehicle tracking system for orders and bring it into modern time. I'm just glad it's over and the dealer is now doing their process to get it ready for pickup.
The rumor that mine was on a truck turned out to be incorrect, still waiting for it to appear. A VIN a few hundred higher than mine did show up so it must be close.

Wow, that's all really good information. Glad to hear she isn't going to just leave me stuck without much warning. I had a 2016 Duramax and made it to the first level warning and got scared so I stopped in the middle of no where and spent an hour looking for DEF. I guess I could have made it the 200 miles home.
I look forward to being able to fill it off the pump and not get the crystal residue on things under the hood when a small drop spills.
Thanks again for the information!
My understanding is 1 bar on the gauge is 2.5 gallons. At 2 gallons it begins limp mode, not sure what happens if you go to 0 gallons DEF.
Poor planning to make it so you have to add 4.5 gallons to fill it up, but you have to buy it in 2.5 gallon units.
The small things that annoy me
The rumor mill says mine is on the truck to the dealer at this moment. 263### VIN original TPW 3/16.
Sounds like they have 12 HD trucks in route to my dealer.
Still sitting in New Boston, MI waiting to go to Port Allen, La then to Florida .
TPW 3/16 truck, likely built about the same time as @Pate Services in early June.
And another week goes by. For this week's installment of find the truck we are........ IN TRANSIT! Wahooo, maybe I'll get a truck after all.
How long will it take to get from Flint to Florida?
Time to start cleaning up the Jeep to trade her in.
