Anyone have any update on when ordering will begin on the '19 Sierra Denali 1500?

That is the million dollar question.  Someone on here said they heard production will start mid to end of July.  If that is the case pricing and ordering would probably be end of may first of June.  I think GM is trying to sell their current model inventory before starting orders for the 2019 plus the longer they string us along the longer it will be in the news.

Thanks for the response.  I agree but what they don't realize is that some people may get tired of waiting and move on to a competitor.  Thanks!

I agree 100% .  My current lease is up in Oct. so I would like to kind of get an idea of cost and order dates.  Ford has their mid model redesign out, 2019 Rams are starting to hit the lots and all GM is giving us is some none descript pictures and tailgate videos.  I am not a big fan of the waiting game they know what the pricing is going to be and the order and production dates so why not tell people?

exactly! its been 3 months since the Silverado made its appearance. The only shown the exact same 4 display trucks (blue LT, Red LT trailboss, Silver LTZ and a Brown Hugh country)

I was in the market for a new truck since late last fall, I was really hoping to buy one of those new Silverado's but it appears I will have to wait to at least mid September. I remembers the new 2014 model year 1500s  hit the lots June 2013.

I purchased my 2014 sierra in July 2013.  Im with you I do not understand why they are being so vague with the pics and info on these trucks.  When Ram revealed their trucks they had all kind of media attention from the auto website's and you could even go to their website and build the new truck.  Not a Ram guy but at least they were giving you something and keeping people excited. It's been a week since any news from GM I feel they have dropped the ball on this one.

 Because the '19 Ram will be at dealerships this month +/- while the GM twins will be a more traditional Fall model year release. Just guessing that GM was torn between making a big splash in Dec that led to the Detroit Auto Show vs having a completely separate event mid summer 90 days in advance of the trucks being delivered. The K2's were revealed in Dec '12 & at dealerships May '13. So that was a much shorter window than what they are doing this round. I'm sure pricing on all models is going to be similar to Ford/Ram. HP/mpg ratings always seem to be the last known bits of info.

I agree with you 100%.  It may have been one of those things like hey we know Ram is launching early but look at what we have coming later this year. I am looking forward to hopefully buying one and personally would like a little more info but it is what it is.  Will just have to be patient and wait.

I came across this on YouTube. it appears to be at the fort wayne assembly  lot waiting to be shipped somewhere....its nice to know the high country got a decent looking 20" wheels and an available black interior vs brown one.

Wish they would have skipped the crazy upper fender & door body line on the Silverado & kept it similar to the Sierra. Understand they were attempting to differentiate the models/brands. But liking the more subtle Sierra upper body line. 

 

Anyway, found this a bit ago. The AT4 looks better, at least to me under full lights vs what I had seen at the reveal. It is around 4 min long.

That red kind of muted that horrific “puke line” on the front fenders.

That dark color and especially silver will accentuate that nasty thing.

Wtf. Looks like a sonic or Malibu not a serious vehicle for men.

I can’t tell if those are 20” wheels or 18”. Sure look like the tires from the Sierra AT4 that are on the 18”.

    • You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater
    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • That computer lies!
    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
