Dealer called Tuesday and said my order had updated to in transit and should arrive within 7-14 days. Friday they called and had me fill out the gms app and get the auth code, this morning they called and said it just came in last night! Way before even the 7 day mark. That's the first thing in this whole order process that has actually moved fast. Not taking delivery until all accessories are installed, probably by next Friday.

Thanks! Really wanted to drive up to see it, but our gmc dealer is an hour and a half away, and I don't think I'll have that kind of time to just drive up. So for now I just keep staring at the pics

Hi,

I agree your new truck should be great. Just curious how far you live from the plant your truck was built.

I have a 2016 Silverado 3500 HD High Country just put in transit and I live on the West Coast and wonder how long I have to wait for mine.

Best of luck with your new GMC.

I'm not exactly sure where mine was built, whether Fort Wayne or Flint, but Flint is the furthest away at 275 miles.

Not really sure it much matters though. My boss' 1500 Denali was in transit for a week and a half, got dropped off at a plant about 40 miles away, and then spent two weeks there waiting for a truck to go north to the dealer. Which is what I was fully prepared to see happen with mine, fortunately that wasn't the case.

Best of luck to you!

Nice rig, You should be excited..

I'm a little surprised the GMC doesn't offer the Denali package in the DC configuration....along with the option of chrome bumpers.

I can't fit anything longer than a DC in my garage with my snow plow attached

 

Let me potentially spend more of your money..

Check out your truck with a Denali grille with chrome bumpers,

I always have trouble sleeping when I know my order is in and ready for pick up.

The truck drives like a dream, and rides incredible for a shorter HD.

Thanks! You got s nice truck also!

Everyone keeps asking me if I'm going to put a plow on it, but I don't have the spare time to make money with it, let alone for everyone that knows me to ask if I can just take a swipe. As for my own driveway, that's what I have 4wd for.

I wanted a DC no matter what, always preferred extended over crews. Measured my garage after my mind was already made up, and I'll have 10" to spare from front bumper to garage door. Being the bigger guy that I am, I think that's going to speed up my plans for an addition, or additional building. I have too much junk that needs a roof over it and not enough roof.

Oh man, do I know that feeling. When we built our house, I extended the garage a couple of feet to fit my "then" CC dually. What a mistake it was to not go out another 10 feet.

I have a whopping 3" from wall to door with my plow on. Thank God my new plow fit, because I've been known to be a little "off" on my measurements.

 

I don't plow commercially. No matter what someone tells you, there is little money in it, and my bed is way too comfortable to leave at 3:00 am.. I guess its cash flow for those who are in seasonal businesses and are idle in the winter. I plow my business and my apartments, and my home. More of a convenience for home, and a necessity for my business.

Thanks! Hopefully it'll drive as awesome as it looks. I've read so many positives and negatives, I'm ready to just hop in and make up my own mind!

Hoping everything lines up just right and I'll be able to take delivery of it next Monday.

Be sure to let air out of the back tires before driving it, the dealer will pump them all the way up and it will ride like it has zero suspension, take them from 80psi to 40psi before even driving it off the lot.

That's actually a phone call I'm going to make today or tomorrow, to see about reprogramming the tpms to 50. I gotta pull out our a/m tpms scanner to see if it will do the lowering, if not I plan on having them do it. I'm not towing all the time, no reason I need my tires at 80psi unloaded

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.

      on-wheel cellphone control: 2026 1500 WT (2.7L 4WD std cab)

      By newdude · Posted

      This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.

      2026 TurboMax L3B 2.7L: AFM/DFM present/disablable? [2026 Silverado 1500WT: 4WD RC RB 2.7L]3GCNKAEK9TG345558

      By newdude · Posted

      Yes.  The 2.7 Turbomax has Active Fuel Management.  It is NOT the same as the V8s.  Totally different system.     Here is an article from GM when the 2.7 came out explaining the cylinder deactivation and the valve lift system.  Starts at the section called "SCS Valvetrain":   New Turbocharged 2.7L 4-Cylinder Engine Powers Full-Size Trucks – TechLink         This is an internet myth going around.  It was alleged that some 5.3s had this mystical 8th digit of the VIN as an "E" which somehow meant it had a new one year only 5.3 that didn't have DFM.  The writer of said article and the person that made the claim conveniently can't count because they posted the VIN.  The 8th digit was a "D" which meant its still the 5.3 with DFM.  The 9th digit of the VIN was an "E" and the 9th digit isn't the engine code.  At all.
