6.2L Still on constraint???

[Hspore]

Anybody out there have any reasonably solid info regarding the constraint on the 6.2L?

[Mikeoxbig]

I ordered by 6.2 silverado 2 weeks ago. I was told it would be at least a 4 week delay.

I'm assuming these delays run concurrently?

I'm assuming these delays run concurrently?

I certainly hope so! If not, I won't see my truck until the Summer of 2014 if I'm lucky!

I ordered mine the last week in october...and it was produced 10 Dec and is now at the distribution center in Houston. I should have it right after Xmas BTW, it was more than a week ahead of the schedule they gave me.

That's what we like to hear! Congrats!

I've got one sitting on my lot right now, they're out there!

I ordered GMC Sierra SLT with 6.2 on Oct 28 and was released for build Dec 18th with a scheduled build date of Dec 23. I was told it most likely will be built second week of January.

[Hspore]

Just got word that mine was built last week and on the way....according to GM, constraint should be lifted by mid-January??

 

And I also learned that the Z-71 package is NOT available on the Denali - even the 6.2 - only the Z-60 which is what mine was replaced with....essentially most everything Z-71 has minus the Ranchos.

Current GM ordering guide shows Z71 available on 2014 1500 Denali - and it includes rancho shocks:

Yes, it certainly does and I ordered my Denali with theh Z-71, however when it was produced it was given Z-60 - same options as the Z-71 minus the Rancho shocks....I sat down with my dealership's GM and attempted to place an order for a Denali with the Z-71 and it was "grayed out" indicating that it was not available and that the substitute would be the Z-60....maybe a shortage of Rancho shocks since there was the issues with some of them leaking and they decided to do a delete until it was resolved ?? Maybe full Z71 will come back shortly - I also saw where they are removing some of the Sierra/Silverado badging on the doors from some trim levels.....chalk it up to first year hick-ups???

[sh00ter]

I got a build sheet from my dealer via e-mail on 12/24 showing a change in the TPW to 12/23. It's a Denali with 6.2 & has the Z71 package shown on it.

 

They have left the Z71 badges & decals off the Denali & maybe other trim levels I never checked on. When you build a Denali on the GMC website, those are a $100 option.

[Hspore]

My build sheet also stated Z-71, however the invoice shows Z-60 - still waiting for GM to respond on this one. And correct, Denalis do not come with decals on the rear quarters - dealer installed option.

Do not, by any means, sweat the loss of the raunchos. As soon as the Bilstein 5100s are available for the '14s slam them on. will cost a little but no big deal as far as a mod cost and much, much better than the stock or the ranchos...
