Hello Everybody!  First post on the forum, just placed an order for a 6.2L LT Trail Boss.  The engine is still on constraint, and who knows what will happen with the strike.  The dealer entered it as a "sold" order and will know Tuesday if the order is accepted by GM.  At least they were able to enter the preliminary order, so that is some progress (have been anxiously waiting since the May 25th announcement of the 6.2L option in the Trail Boss and RST trims)!

 

I will keep you posted on updates, I know from lurking here for months that several are interested in ordering the 6.2 Trail Boss.  

Dealer notified me yesterday, my truck is built and being spray lined now (spray lining is done off site), said to expect delivery in 12-14 days✊?!

 

Also, it was built in Ft. Wayne.  That was a nice surprise, I thought all the TBs were built in Mexico.

The spray liner is pretty quick.

The spec is 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 with the 3.0 Diesel. Tow mirrors, Off road assist steps, splash guards, basically fully loaded.

Wondering if its because i'm in Canada?

Also wondering if they build certain vehicles during certain weeks. Like one week is allocated to silverados the next week sierras or is it all just random? Can't see why you'd have a sooner build week with a later order!

I put in my order in on Dec 5 and got it accepted on Dec 19th. Build date is this week 1/6. 

 

2020 AT4, 3.0l, Driver alert packages.

I order my 3.0 LT on 11/13, was built on 12/14 and took delivery on 1/3. Quickest that I have ever got one when ordering. Funny part about it was that dealer said that he had no allocation at the time that order was pulled one week after placing it. As far as being built in Ft. Wayne I believe it's a crap shoot. My 08, 10, 12, 14, and 15 were all built in Mexico, very few problems with any of them. Not so with my 19 TB which was built in Ft. Wayne and had numerous issues. My new one came out of Mexico and I doubt it will have the problems that my previous one had.

Struggling to understand this forum. Looking for where people most what they recently paid or were offered. Is this the right location? Is there a different sub or other forum?

We are looking at a leftover 2019 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. I am specifically looking at the 1500 LD Double Cab Standard Box 4-Wheel Drive LT  All Star Edition.

 

The GMC rebate is currently 23.9% off of MSRP (That does not include whatever the GM Card discount they announced yesterday).

 

In addition, looks like a few dealers are offering between 3% and 3.5% dealer discount off off of the original MSRP.

 

26.9% to 27.4% off of MSRP.

 

While that sounds great, dealer discount sounds incredibly low.

Placed my order for a fully loaded 2020 Silverado Trail Boss LT with 6.2L and performance package on 11/30/2019. The order was accepted by GM on 12/5/2019. The build is scheduled for 1/27/202. I understand the Fort Wayne factory shuts down for two weeks around the holidays. Hopefully I hear something back soon!

My order was built this week and in transport. 

Let us know when you actually take delivery. My dealer seemed to think that I might have to wait between build completion until it ships. He said it could take up to a month. I’m hoping to take advantage of zero percent APR 72 month financing which expires 2/3/2020, so fingers crossed! The dealer did say as soon as they have a VIN, they can write up the sale. That seems a little scary to me.

If the financing doesn’t expire till 3/2, you’ll have nothing to worry about.  They get the vin pretty quick but I certainly wouldn’t do anything until it’s for sure in transit. You don’t want to do paperwork on a truck that ends up sitting at the factory for a month for whatever reason.

Sorry, I had the date wrong. It’s 2/3/2020, so if my build is scheduled for 1/27, I might have to have them write up the purchase while the truck is in transit.

My 6.2 TB LT is in transit now.  0% sounds great!  Can you point me to where you found this?  All I can find is 0% on 2019s.  If you are right, you just made my day??

    • 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.
