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?

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, the key seems to be with the half tons that if it has the Z71, then it definitely has the two speed. What got me was that the two speed AND the lower geared towing package option could not be chosen together the last few years unless it was mated up to the 6.2. Want the 3.0 duramax and 3.73 tow gears ... nope, can't get the two speed transfer case ( neighbor son realized that after he had bought his used 3.0 half ton .. where the frick is the low range ? ! ).    I am still unsure which truck series, the half ton or the HD truck that the original poster is referring to for sure other than yes his question is in the HD section of this forum but that doesn't guarantee the question got asked in the right section.
