For those of you who ordered after production started how long did it take for you to get your vehicle? I'm about to order mine and I was wondering if the 6 week time frame the dealer gave me was accurate...

 

Thanks!

Plan on 8 weeks min. It may get built in 4-6 weeks but they have no control over the distribution/shipping process and that may take several weeks depending on what part of the country it has to travel to. CC's are coming from Silao Mexico and thats down close to Mexico City so it has to travel almost a 1,000 miles to reach the border.

 

Someone posted this somewhere I cannot recall:

 

 

DOSP - Dealer Order Submission Process

 

The weekly process consists of 4 stages.

 

1. Constraints Distribution - Dealers are informed on constraints to review before placing orders. (A Constraint is a limit placed on an specific build configurations.)

 

 

2. Dealer Order Submission - Dealers can order on Thursday, Friday or no later than midnight on Saturday. (You can submit orders earlier but you don't know the constraints.

 

3. The 4-Pass Process - GM will attempt to place each dealers orders on Mondays using a 4-Pass process. (At this point a dealer may get more or less than was allocated if they asked.)

 

4. Dealer Review-You can review your placed orders for changes or replacements until Tuesday at 9pm ET. That's when the orders are sent to production control.

For those yet to order, GMC (corporate, not the dealer) will search the entire U. S. for a truck with any specifics you give them. Go to GMC's website and click the Chat icon. Tell the rep exactly what you want and they'll tell you where's the closest match. Might be quicker than waiting the 8 weeks.

Yes and many dealers will be willing to swap in a optioned part from another truck if it means a sell and its easy.

And they will ship it to my dealer? Because I already found one but it's too far for my dealer to get...

Depends on your dealer.. some will do a swap while others might charge you to have the truck shipped.

Locate your truck, then talk to your dealer, and decide if you'd rather possibly pay a little extra or just wait two months for order.

I ordered mine on July 4th and was told it would take about 6-8 weeks. They dealer sent me an email this past weekend with progress. My truck was accepted and is now in production.

 

No ETA oncompletion or delivery date.

I ordered mine on June 14th. They replaced an existing order that wasn't built with mine. It is in transit and is supposed to be there today.

I assume you are all talking about crew cabs correct? My understanding is double cabs are another story, they are just starting to build them.

Yes I'm referring to crew cabs...

I've looked over and over trying to find the chat icon but I don't see it. Am I missing something?

    • Yea that's pretty normal to be off a few degrees.  Usually 2-4 degrees from say a weather app or thermometer.  
    • I just replaced the ambient air temperature sensor.  Easy as pie. I simply had to remove about 10-12 clips on the plastic cover over the radiator and remove two T-10 torx screws on the hood release lever to liberate the cover (Amazingly, none of the clips broke.  All came out and went back in with zero problems). Once the cover was removed, the temp sensor is easily accessible. The sensor cable snakes through a few guides and can be pulled out for even easier access to the sensor. I was able to work the sensor out of the mounting hole.  There is a red sliding catch on the plug that must be pulled back to disconnect the cable.  The plug was quite tight.  I had to use a screwdriver to pry it out. I plugged in the new sensor ($6.45 from RockAuto), snapped it into the mounting hole and re-snaked the cable. I put the radiator cover back on and reattached the lever arm to the hood release.  All done!     I started up my Suburban.  The temperature read 82 °F. Other thermometers at my house read 80 °F.  Close enough.  It might be reading high as my vehicle was sitting in the sun.
    • Remember when you were 50 and they called you Old Man?
    • That one looks decent for the price   BUT..I want something that also supports OBDI/1.5. A lot of the prosumer-grade scanners don't have legacy support in order to keep costs low. I believe the Autel does if you go higher end with them.   For fun, I reached out to a local Snap-On rep because I was interested in the 2600. $1895 MSRP, says he can do $1595. That's still a lot, but then again, that's not a horrible discount for just asking out of the blue. Could probably do better if I was a regular buying off his truck, but I'm not.   Not sure if I mentioned but I didn't realize with USED scanners from Snap On that you need to make sure a) the serial number isn't flagged as stolen. On the newer ones, SnapOn can remotely disable the device if it's flagged in their system. And, customer service can tell you if it is, if you're thinking about buying used. B) Make sure it's paid off. If the seller still owes money to the truck or if they financed through Snap On, the device can be remotely disabled until the balance is paid. It's less clear if SnapOn will tell you if a balance is still owed; I didn't make it that far with the used model I was considering. I did read that SnapOn has no way of tracking any "truck financing" deals between the SnapOn rep and buyer, only if they financed through corporate. So there's that extra caution needed.   Still waffling on whether I go with a ~$500ish Autel/TopDon or spend bigger money. The value seems to be in the prosumer brands. I'm not giving them enough credit TBH, actual production repair shops use them daily BUT I'm still allergic to certain kinds of underdog products trying to unseat American companies with solid reputations. SnapOn's scanner isn't wholly made in the US, but it is assembled here and they have US support and probably the most proven/ robust legacy support.   Something to think about. Value, or principles? There's a $1k difference.
    • I'm thankful to live where we don't have extreme weather. We might all be blown to smithereens when Mt. Rainier goes, but 80 is warm enough in the summer and I can generally count the number of hard freezes in the winter on one hand. The cars here don't rust and they don't get sun-baked, either.   We have finished off many of our average 52 days of "clear/sunny" weather, though. Sunsets are coming earlier, the nights are a little cooler. It's right around the first week of September when we get our first warning that summer is coming to a close with overcast skies and the start of "hoodie weather" temperatures during the cooler parts of the day. By October, it's usually time to ditch the shorts. By November, it's mostly raining.
