Just ordered a 2016 SLT 6.2

pm26 · February 22, 2016

My biggest dilemma would be the as yet unresolved vibration problems with these trucks.

I'm enjoying mine. Transmission was a little wonky at first but sorted out over first month.

Some must watch while others must sleep

Today's non-update.

I do not have any new news to pass on to you other than it has made it to phase 3400. I know that means nothing to you but to me it tells me the next phase is for it to be shipped. I will keep a close eye on it this week to see if the status changes to "Shipped". If it does, I will be able to give you a VIN#. Hopefully you will hear from me later in the week with that information.

It isn't much but it's progress.

Sorry to disappoint, but at 3400 it's not built yet and that's why there is no serial number.

Here's a partial list of event codes.

• 500, this is a dealer stock order code used to order common vehicles. Please contact your dealer to receive an actual active order number.

• 1100, Preliminary order accepted (This means your dealer has entered your order into their system but does not mean they have the allocation to submit the order to GM yet. Speak with your dealer to verify when they expect to be able to submit your order for production)

• 2000, Order accepted by GM (This means the order has been submitted and accepted by production. You are now on your way.)

• 2030, Order re-edited (if necessary) (This is simply an edit code showing that something on your order has been changed. It does not mean your order has been accepted to production and really does not mean anything beyond your previous status other than a change has been made.)

• 2051, Order changed thru Web (same as above)

• 2500, Order preferenced (This means that the Order has been moved to the stage that parts department is now ready to place the orders for the components that will become your car)

• 3000, Order accepted by production control (This is the response from production to your 2500 status and is when Parts are actually ordered. No further changes can be made to your order once you reach this point.)

• 3100, Order available to sequence (This is more or less an inter-office memo from Parts to Production saying all parts are committed to this build, they are clear to sequence them for the build.)

• 3300, Order scheduled for production (This is the response to the 3100 status where Production is cleared to sequence and schedule the build) TPW usually avaiable

• 3400, Order broadcast (This is when the order is actually loaded onto the production line computers and parts are being staged for the build)

• 3800, Order produced (The vehicle is completed and has rolled off the line. A Vin is now available.)

• 4000, Available to ship (Vehicle is off the line and available to ship)

• 4104, Bailment Invoice (Shipping documents generated)

• 4200, Shipped (Vehicle has been moved by a carrier to another location or destination. If in combination with a 4300 status code then this is transfer to either a vendor for upfitting or to a distribution yard for final transportation.)

• 4300, Intermediate Delivery (In combination with a 4200 this is saying that the vehicle has been transported to a vendor or to a distribution center.)

• 4B00, Bayed (listed anytime a vehicle is sitting parked waiting for next mode of transportation. It can also be this status while in Quality Control)

• 4800 Rail Ramp Unload, end of the line by (if) rail. To be delivered by truck to dealer

• 5000, Delivered to the dealer

• 6000, Delivered to the customer

• 9000, Order Cancelled

It has been built since I posted that. It is on a very slow train from Central Mexico. It's scheduled delivery date is now March 5th.

I posted before noticing the date you posted .

Hopefully it'll arrive early for you.

With total car loadings down, this is kind of surprising but if it was an intermodal train you would have had it the dang near next day. Automotive takes a few days to get across country as it is not necessarily the highest priority. Then of course you have the issue of getting vehicles from the automotive facility to the dealer...

My truck was delivered to the local rail yard Friday. It is supposed to be delivered to the dealership by tomorrow. They are going to put a leveling kit on it and swap the the rims from the 6 spoke to the RD5 rims. Wednesday or Thursday I should be driving my fancy new truck.

Linecapt · March 8, 2016

Good luck with yours. Got a 6.2L 2 months ago myself. Haven't driven it much as I'm in the final weeks of a '13 lease of a Silverado 1500 LTZ. You'll see that it's a sleeper. The power of the 6.2 is awesome. Like driving my Corvette, albeit sitting higher up.

99-ls1-ss · March 9, 2016

Finally got my truck last night. They won't be able to put the leveling kit on until Monday. I'm seriously considering canceling that. The truck sits better than I expected.

Gorgeous truck! Congrats!

Would you mind sharing your price paid and or discounts?

I'm considering ordering a similar truck with the NHT option priced around 51k.

With all of the options, taxes and other stuff my truck retailed at right at $60K. I'm sure I'll catch hell for not being a professional negotiator but, my out the door price was right at $52K.

8 grand off an ordered truck seems pretty darn good. I cant seem to get that off a stocked truck around hear

Did you get special pricing like Supplier or Invoice minus current incentives?

Sorry about all the questions. Just trying to arm myself best as possible before contacting dealers.

I got supplier pricing plus $2500 in rebates.

Greetings,

Did you have any troubles getting a 6-2 ordered? I've been thinking about ordering one. I talked to a few dealers, some try to talk me out of it and say they can't get them and they're restricted right now, one is confident they can get them. The confident dealer is part of a big chain that does a lot of volume.
