Beyond frustrated.... ordered 19 Chev Silverado Custom Trail Boss 13 weeks ago.  I've had to reach out to the dealership multiple times, finally was told that it is out of production and bayed in Fort Wayne as of 5/14/19.  It has been assigned a VIN. Any feel for delivery time frame, northern Wisconsin?  The whole thing seems ridiculous, considering was given a 6 week time frame in late February. Looking for a sanity check. 

 

There are dozens of these on dealer lots marked down $4-7k right now... I can't figure out why anyone would order one. I know another guy who has been waiting 3 months... for a Shadow Grey Crew Can Custom... there's like 5 on dealer lots within a 20 mile range

 

The custom has a handful of option packages/items and a handful of colours. You could even get one transfered from another dealer. Makes no sense to order a run of the mill truck other than to say you custom ordered it... 

 

3 dealers around me are offering huge discounts on their trucks on the lot. Shop around. No point waiting for something thats  in stock

I'm looking for a little help here. Approximately 3 weeks ago I placed an order with my dealer for a '19 1500 AT4 Dbl cab. I know it's late in the model year for orders, but I wanted the 6.2 with the performance off road pkg, as well as, I wanted it in black. The combination has been impossible to find off the lot anywhere near me. Anyways what I was wondering is if any of you guys could tell me what your experience was for the time line when ordering and what to expect. Like I said it's been 3 weeks, according to my salesman the order hasn't been "picked up" by GM yet. So what I assume that to mean is it hasn't been given a build date yet. Just wondering about how long it takes to get a build date ect. The sales guy told me it can take 4-6 weeks but he also kinda said they my never build it due to constraints and what not, maybe that was a ploy to make sure I would do a "sold order" deal with them (which I had no problem doing) but idk. He implied it would be more likely to be picked up if it was a sold order. Any info you guys can provide would be awesome. Im kinda outa my league on this one, never ordered a vehicle before, but I figured if I'm spending 70k just as well get exactly what I want.

If your dealer isn't a big Chevy or GMC dealer, then change your dealer if GM won't pick up your order by next week. You can ask the dealer to give you the event code. You can also chat with GM to get more accurate information. By having your event code, you can find the stats of your order. 

If everything goes smoothly, it takes almost 2 to 2.5 months to get your truck from the time putting your order.

I placed order at dealer on april 6 , got informed of a build date about 3 weeks ago that my build date is june 24 .

When I placed my order, dealer told me a good 3 months

It’s been 9 1/2 weeks for me so far. The dealer told me that it is still in the process of being shipped and being prepared to be shipped to the dealership. Hopefully not too much longer... Good luck everyone...

I received word from my dealer just this past week that the order has been bayed and waiting on transportation. From anyone's personal experience, how much longer can I expect for the truck to get to the dealership? I placed my order on May 2nd. Based off what I've read, I'm guessing I am still weeks away.

 

Any other ways to check the vehicle status? My apologies if this has already been covered earlier in this thread.

I was given a 10 week delivery forecast. The 20th of June it will be 10 weeks.

GMC Canada has a Facebook site and when I PM’d them my order number, they were able to give me a location status. I’m sure the US has that as well. Give it a try!

Well, 10 weeks to the day. My AT4 is finally sitting at the dealer going thru PDI. I’m a wee bit anxious.... :)

I've got that anxious feeling, as well.  I compare it to being a kid and waiting on Christmas morning and summer vacation all mixed into one.  Out of curiosity, who are you going to finance with?  I think I am going to omit GM Financial and go with a local credit union

I’m going with GM financial. It the only way I could get some of the incentives offered thru where I work. Enjoy the new truck!

Ordered (pluncked down my deposit) my 2019 LTZ CC (everything but Z71) . Was told 6-8 weeks but already mentioned that there may be a delay for the bed liner spraying? Late production orders seem to be more variable. We'll see when the order is actually placed. Wish me luck, hoping for before Labor Day.

You don’t have to leave a deposit. Many dealerships will try to do this. Just tell them no and go to another. I ordered a $68,000 truck and deposit wasn’t even mentioned.

I'm not questioning/ doubting you, rather asking out of my own ignorance, but if you don't give them a deposit, is there a risk of them selling your truck to someone else once it's built and delivered?

    • While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.
    • Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage. 
    • This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.  
    • I was unaware of that, thanks for updating me.
    • Yes.  The 2.7 Turbomax has Active Fuel Management.  It is NOT the same as the V8s.  Totally different system.     Here is an article from GM when the 2.7 came out explaining the cylinder deactivation and the valve lift system.  Starts at the section called "SCS Valvetrain":   New Turbocharged 2.7L 4-Cylinder Engine Powers Full-Size Trucks – TechLink         This is an internet myth going around.  It was alleged that some 5.3s had this mystical 8th digit of the VIN as an "E" which somehow meant it had a new one year only 5.3 that didn't have DFM.  The writer of said article and the person that made the claim conveniently can't count because they posted the VIN.  The 8th digit was a "D" which meant its still the 5.3 with DFM.  The 9th digit of the VIN was an "E" and the 9th digit isn't the engine code.  At all.
