I don't think that site is well kept, I ordered my Sierra Denali 6.2L on Feb 29 (crazy leap year day) took delivery 4/1, so 4 weeks. Good luck you'll love it, oh break the engine in correctly if you ordered one (not the GM way).

The ARI site is kept better than Donlen. Up until the end of March, Donlens last update for Chevy was in Oct 2015. The ARI site is updated several times a week. It has the date above the year/model you're viewing.

My dealer is telling me the 6.2l is still on constraint - what?!

It might be just on constraint if he had to order it under inventory. If it's ordered as sold you'll get it on a regular schedule of 6-8 weeks...or you should at least. Mine was ordered the 29th of Feb. They accidently ordered it under inventory, and my build date was for the end of June! By the time the mistake was noticed it was 2 weeks ago. My build date now is the end of May which still sucks but it better than before.

There is no break in, drive the truck as you want to drive it. The engines are ran to red line several times during the build process. I drive mine no different than I would normally, truck never has burnt any oil and get great gas mileage considering it is a 5500lb truck.

 

Heat cycles more than anything else are what help the cylinders wear in.

Make sure they ordered your truck as a sold unit, and not as just part of their general inventory. It can make a big difference in when it's built.

Thanks for the break in tips.

 

Yea the dealer told me he market it as a " sold" unit so it should be priority. He also said he marked it as a hot sale. Not sure how I can verify he's actually doing whatever t he's saying. He said the motor (6.2L) is the issue and no other parts of my build ( sunroof or platform setup) are on constraint.

I had one dealer tell me the 6.2L was on constraint and the next dealer had one in transit. Mine rolled off the truck last Wednesday.

Maybe the dealer hasn't got allocation and is hoping they get allocation before you go somewhere else.

Should I leave that order in and place an order with another dealer for the same truck build and go with whoever gets it allocated first? My first child was born yesterday and I'm almost out of time for this dealership / manufacturer games. Would calling the GM regional manager help?

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Wiring Help, Please

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
