Wow...5 weeks! I would be very happy with eight. Thanks all. I now have a pretty good idea when to start looking for it.

I'll post a pic of it when it hits my driveway.

This site says 10-12 weeks depending on the model ordered - plus 1-3 weeks transportation to western USA:

 

> *Lead time estimates factor in normal transportation time of 10-14 days. Please add an additional one to three weeks on vehicles destined for the Western States..........

So not all Chevy trucks all assembled in Mexico?

my 2016 came from Mexico by ship and landed in Aberdeen Washington and then trucked to Enumclaw to the dealer.

Some, not all. That's why I searched for the one with my options on a lot instead of ordering (also because you can get screwed out of a current rebate if the promotion ends before the vehicle arrives at the dealer and when the sale is finalized).

 

VIN starting with "1" - USA; "2" = Canada; "3" = Mexico. All my Avalanches were "Hecho en Mexico" and made like "POS", especially the later ones.....that's why I only looked at and test rode the "1", not the "3" Avys before buying.

Oh, Oh. Seems I am classed as a "4B00". Which means it's bayed.

Either waiting for transportation or a problem to be resolved.

I did get the last eight of my VIN though.

Now it's back to waiting...................

no VIN, no truck yet. nothing can be tracked without it, because the truck does not "exist" yet. just an open order for a truck right now.

Or, you can wind up with a better promotion. Crap shoot. I'd rather get the truck exactly as I want it.

OK - I went to GM Chat and said I was told it was produced - can I please have the VIN........... And got the full VIN..........

 

Found this VIN decoder link on this site..... Gives a lot of detail from your VIN - I like the Tech Specs page................

Yeah,for the last month it has been in "spray-on bed liner HELL". Finally went to the dealership and had the gen. mgr. dig further.

He says it is supposed to be released for shipment today and should be here (Calif) by mid month. I will believe when I see.

Any way I can't wait...it's going to be beautiful! LTZ, Pepperdust ext. Cocoa Dune int., black assist steps even splurged for the

black bow ties!

You?

My rig's story is here - looking like it will be 7 weeks total - knock on wood. I did have the sprayed in liner too. You can see on my thread - another member on there having more like your experience in time frame..... His should be here any day too....... Although his and mine are Mexico crew cabs.......

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
