I didn't special order a truck but I have been waiting forever for this truck to arrive at a dealership. They have it listed on their website, but the saleswoman says it is "in transit". It has been that way for 3 weeks. What should I do? Is there some place that I can call or look up online to determine where it is in the line? I have a inventory number and VIN if that helps. 

Go to Chevy.com and initiate a chat. If you give them the VIN they may be able to tell you where it's at or at least how far along in the process it is. From recent experience, no one seems to know where these trucks are until they arrive on the door step of the dealer. Or they don't care to share the info. 

 

The dealer should have the most up to date info. But they need to press to get it as well. My dealer told me that even his system is behind a few days. Unreal that I can buy a pack of razors from Amazon and track them to my door, but you buy a $60k truck and no one knows anything about it until it shows up on a car carrier. Welcome to 2020 I guess.

Send me the VIN and I will pull it up in GM Global.  As a dealer, I know that usually GM will give us the stock number/VIN number weeks in advance (Right when it's built).  Some accounting departments like to then stock the vehicle into the DMS.  The consequence of this is it will show as inventory for all their websites.  Most likely it's truly in transit but I can confirm that.

Well guys, I ordered my personal 2021 High Country 1500 last week.  Sold my Duramax, decided on going back to a half ton for daily comfort.  She should be here in mid-November (fingers crossed).  Ordered her pretty much maxed out for a Chevy; sticker right around $73,000.

Any other buyers have any recent delivery times to share or possibly some of the dealers on here? Didn’t order a truck, but threw down a deposit on a truck that is being delivered to a local dealer. The truck was built mid September in Mexico and has been sitting at the port for a couple weeks. Dealership is in central CA. Sold the wife’s Wrangler, so the sooner we can get the truck the better. Thinking mid October at the soonest is the most realistic time frame.

Your biggest problem is that you're in California (I share the pain with you). According to this website, depending on the port, you could be waiting a bit longer than usual. Just look at all the counties on the coast in the strictest level.

Bummer. Thought all the Covid delays were factory related. Figured once it was built things were good to go. We have a loaner vehicle from family, so not the end of the world.

2 pieces of good news this morning. Got an update that the truck is on its way to the port in Ventura County. Also appears that Ventury County will be dropping down to the red tier as soon as today.

Looks like Ventura County is doing better than San Diego County. San Diego has been red for awhile now, but the numbers don't look as good as Ventura. Many people down here are blaming SDSU students.

My gut feeling is the whole state and/or country is going to take a turn back the other way. I’m praying the truck gets here ASAP before things get bad again. The same day the Chevy chat told me it was in transit from the Mexico port to Ventura port the dealer called us and told us it was in California. Not sure who to believe. Hopefully it arrives before the end of the month.

On Sept 28th, I ordered Sierra 1500 4WD Double Cab SLE w/ Duramax 3.0, Cayenne Red,  20" alloys, and Off-Road and Protection Package (and a few other baubles). Due "8 to 10 weeks". Not what I wanted to hear, but I'm settling in for the long run. Really excited to get this truck. Been Jonesing for a pickup ever since 2001, when I sold my Silverado for a kid-seat-friendly Trailblazer.

Just ordered a 2021 Sierra AT4 Carbon Pro with the 3.0 diesel on the 28th of September. Not sure where it will be built, or if the Carbon Pro is built in all three locations. It was ordered through an independent dealer/broker, but I don't know if that will delay the build and delivery. The dealer hasn't shared any information with me regarding build lead time or delivery date, but I don't know how long it normally takes GM to process the order, or what the current build lead time is. Any input would be appreciated.

Still waiting on ours. The dealership has started getting some trucks that were built in the same time frame as ours (mid September) last week but ours hasn’t shown up yet.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By Silver Yeti · Posted

      That's interesting.   There was a factory wire-hole in the back, top of the rear cab, which had a wire for the third brakelight assembly running through it, as well as several holes (10 of them I believe) for all of the studs coming off of the 3rd brakelight assembly itself.   I sealed all of those holes with RTV/silicone as well.   I found it kind of odd, that none of those holes, were sealed with any kind of sealant by the factory - if there was any there, it wasn't very much.   That said, I've been out in heavy rain and have ran the truck through high-pressure car-washes a few times now and she has been 100% water-tight to this point.   I feel very confident in the repair, we'll see how it holds up.
