Trucks have rake so they don't have squat-butt when loaded.

Oh the wait.... I ordered my 2019 (because they wouldn't let me order a 2018) on May 11th.  its a GMC 3500HD SLT SRW Duramax/Allison 4x4 Z71 and it's killing me how much lack of information GM or my Dealer has on my order.  It was built on 6/25 and in "Status 4300" in Flint since 6/27 and not moved as of this posting (7/10/18) GM Chat has no update and no eta on shipment.  Why in this day and age does GM not have a website that interactively tracks an order so you can have more info like Why it's sitting for weeks waiting to be shipped?  The GM Chat people are even starting to get a little "Short" with me contacting them weekly for updates. 

 

Any therapy appreciated,

Another week gone by it's 07/17/18 and on Friday the Salesman called to say "no news on your truck, waiting for it to be put on a railcar".   Really, 2 and a half weeks post production and it hasn't moved from the shipping lot... Arrgh!

 

 07/19/18 Well at least some progress... it Finally made it on a Rail Car and is due into a Rail hub in Petersburg, VA by tomorrow (Friday) so I'm a little more encouraged, that's only 2 hours Driving time away from my dealership so maybe I'll get it by August <insert big sigh here>. 

 

07/20/18 Great to at least FINALLY have status changes every couple of days.  Very thankful to get the update tonight at 5:45 that it reached the Rail Hub in Petersburg, VA on schedule and has been loaded on a transport truck for dispatch to the Dealership!  Maybe I'll see it in the next 3-5 days??

 

7/24/18 Still waiting :-( Tomorrow will be 1 month anniversary of the truck being built. It sat for 2.5 weeks in the parking lot in Flint Michigan, then it was finally put on a rail car and sent to the distribution hub in Petersburg, VA last week so we'll see how long it sits there. Unfortunately that's only a 2 hour drive from my dealership.... The wait is still killing me but GM sure isn't in a hurry to get this "special order" out of its hair.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

FINALLY after 11 weeks of Waiting and 3 years of saving plus a call to the General manager to ask why it's been sitting for 3.5 weeks of its new life in a shipping yard it arrived Yesterday.

 

Wow, well worth it.  Everything I expected it to be.  

 

That's all I have to say about that!  My first Diesel truck and one of the first 2019s to make it to their new home.  See attached

Really?  A truck comes with rake?  Wow!  Listen people, trucks are built to tow and haul, not to be level like your wife or sisters car!  When loaded heavy or towing heavy, the rear squats to accept the additional load.  If it's level before additional weight, then it's going to squat lower than the front and not be set up properly or safely.  Get over it already.

I guess you never heard of air bags? Ram has them as an option.

Actually...I have. I don't see your point here. I'm well aware of the Ram bags that help level, but we are not talking about the Ram...

I noticed that the local GMC and Chevy dealer got a load of 2019 HD's this week so yours is probably close.  I am sure you realize the 2019 HD's are just a carry over from 2018 and not the new body style. 

 

The 1st 2 weeks of July GM is typically on company wide vacation shutdown.

This is normal, it can take up to 4wks, logistics takes time. Transit to NC will be train so its probably on a truck somewhere right now. 

There is a nationwide shortage of truck drivers.

Thank you for the reply, Right and understood on the no body style changes since those aren't due until mid-production year 2019 (that's why I ordered early, didn't like the fender well angle cuts on the 19's).  I did get an update Tuesday that it Finally made it on a Rail Car and is due into a Rail hub in Petersburg, VA by tomorrow (Friday) so I'm a little more encouraged, that's only 2 hours Driving time away from my dealership so maybe I'll get it by August <insert big sigh here>.  Tough being a first time new Vehicle purchaser (custom order) and still cannot believe the lack of communications from GM...

Have we determined they begin "mass producing" the 2019 crew cabs this week/next week?  Is the next step they will begin having one at each dealer to show them off?

Try ordering one back in the 70's and not knowing a thing until three months later the dealer calls you to tell you your vehicle is in.  At least you have some information to go by.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
