I've been stuck at 3800 since 3/4/20. My current lease was up last week, but I'm still waiting for my truck to be delivered. Not sure if the spray in bedliner for the Denali is holding things up or whether the closure would affect already built trucks. Hopefully it will be delivered soon... Knowing my luck, I'll get Covid and be on a 2 week quarantine when it finally gets delivered. I'm a healthcare worker in NY directly caring for these patients, so it is bound to happen.

God bless your soul! Thank you so much for your commitment to patients in need during this crisis.

Thinking about ordering a Chevy. There's only one in my area that is 95% what I want and I just can't get excited about the color no matter how hard I try. Can someone lend some insight on the ordering process and what I should expect? I know production is shut down ATM but I have time wait a few months if necessary.

It is completely, utterly, totally unknown when you can expect a truck you ordered now.

I just spoke with the dealer and he said the same to me. That's fine as I am totally cool with waiting a few months, however, he told me that he was told that anything ordered now, would be far enough back in the queue that it will end up being a 2021 model. FWIW that's not a problem with me, but I thought I would pass it along to anyone else who was curious.

I spoke with my dealer last week and was told the Flint Plant would start up with one crew on May 4th. Got a call from the dealership yesterday and was told the start up was moved to the 18th of May. It changes every day it seems. I’ll just keep in the loop with my dealership and one day they will call and tell me they started production. ?

I ordered my AT4 on Feb 24th (Acceptance day), dealership told me Monday they have no idea where it is at other than it has been shipped, which I totally don't understand why they don't have shipping ID's.  It was produced on March 25th.  If they were not holding my $10k from my trade, I would go buy something else.  Have not had a truck in 14 weeks since my 2014 LTZ blew a converter.

good morning all, long time lurker, first time poster;

 

I finally bit the bullet and ordered my truck on Friday, dealer said (for what that's worth) that the plan is to open plants up on 18 May or 1 June, and then it will be 8 to 10 weeks after that...

IMHO, that sounds rather optimistic.  That's about the timeline if the factories had not stopped (the 8-10 weeks).  But, there's a backlog of vehicles to be made, both to restock dealers, and vehicles that have been ordered already that are piling up.

I was at my dealer today and he pulled up my order for the hell of it and he is now seeing build dates. My TB was ordered on 2/21 and never had a build date. My build date is now 7/13/20. I not really expecting it to be fulfilled now. I thought they would start build 2021's in July. I do know it is coming from Ft Wayne and I believe they are starting back into production on the 18th.

The realist in me would be happy if I got my truck by August. It would be nice to get some new wheels before deploying again...

 

On a somewhat separate note, I would never want to root against the American worker, or our engines of industry; but it would be nice if the current incentives lasted until I took delivery of my new truck!

Just picked up my new Sierra Denali Diesel yesterday. Ordered beginning of February, built March 4, under quality hold for a month and a half while the factory was closed. Finally delivered to the dealer and I picked it up last night.

 

Back to the service dept with 24 miles with P026A CEL.

Sales of pickups in April of 2019 were over 900,000 units but in April of 2020 they sold less than 500,000 units. Lots of surplus inventory on dealer lots and lots of good deals for trucks if you want to save $10,000. At this point I am going to wait for the 2021 models to arrive and see if GM is finally going to offer a large gas tank option for its 1500 class pickups.

My truck was ordered on 2/24 production date of 4/6 that of course got pushed back. Bored today decided to check status at Chevy.com. And believe it or not. They gave me the vin number and told me it’s been made. Somehow the truck was produced in the last week and it’s waiting to be delivered to the dealership. Absolutely amazing. I was expecting to be told you have to order a 2021.

      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.
