QC Hold?

Has anyone had a Silverado or Sierra ship lately? My order has been sitting in Mexico for over 2 weeks now and I am getting antsy. I have heard that in the past that GM has put all shipments on QC holds for extended periods of time when there was a quality issue. I am in need of a truck by the second week of December and I am concerned that the truck may not be here by then.

 

I found another truck specced out almost exactly the same at another dealer, this dealer will not sell the truck to the dealer I ordered with. How do you guys feel about bailing on an order at one dealer and picking up the vehicle you want with the specs you want at another since the ordering dealer can't do anything about getting the shipment there on time. I have also found that the truck that is already built sitting on the dealer's lot is cheaper as it was built in the end of September.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

As far as I'm aware, my truck was built between the 11th - 15th, and was on a train by the end of last week. Obviously yet to be SEEN (and I'm up in Canada) but I don't believe there was a QC hold?

 

The whole process seems to be a crap-shoot. Some guys have had quick builds, and slow shipping. Mine was at least 6 weeks to be built, but didn't seem to sit too long for shipping?!

Mine was built on the 12th and hasn't moved from it's parking spot outside the factory since. GM wont give me any answers other than that it is bayed. So irritated...

Same exact situation. I'm gonna walk because mine hasn't even been built or doesn't have a build date.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
