I ordered my 6.2 the last week of October with the order being accepted in late November, built early December, then it just was waiting to be shipped. Should finally get it next week. Hopefully your dealer has allocation to get a 6.2. If your going for the AT4 it may be awhile. Those are restricted right now according to my dealer. Two to Three months is the average to get a truck ordered. 

Mine is a custom trailboss midnight edition 

Congrats on yours

There are plenty AT4’s in my area with the 3.0L and 6.2L options. Not sure about your areas and why the backorders I am seeing one here.

Wonder if it’s the suspension on the AT4 and Trailboss models that’s making them hard to come by?

Dealers had Trailboss and AT4 models in stock but now they are becoming hard to get. The 3.0l seems easier to get overall. The smaller dealers don’t have the allocation to order what they want either so your at the misery of ones that do.

It’s sad that GM’s having all these problems delivering these trucks! 
 

Hopefully mine has a build time of under 90 days considering it’s a 5.3 ,with all the issues of allocating suspension parts & 6.2 motor issues should speed it up!

5.3 has the same valve spring issue. Just strange they only do the one cylinder versus the whole motor like the 6.2. My dealer claims GM is making them take the 3.0 to get trucks on the lot.

I’d like to see an official document from GM stating the issues why these trucks are NOT being delivered rather than “what my dealer said…”

Ordered a 3.0 Denali CCLB 12/18. Dealer says it should be built next week, supposedly will see it mid Febuary.

I ordered a white AT4 back in October with a 6.2.  Never did get a build date yet.  I switched it to a 3.0 diesel AT4 now, maybe quicker with this motor?  I think its the AT4 package though that might be the issue. I guess  I will keep packing miles on my trade in so that value keeps going down, and missing out on incentives from GM and from  my GM credit card.

That would be pretty quick. I ordered a 3.0 AT4 the last week of nov and have a confirmed build date slotted for the first week of Feb. They are guessing delivery would be last week of Feb or first week of March

I’ve read on here that it might be an AT4 delay? [emoji2373]
I’ll update when I hear more.

    • I never understood the hate for the column shifter. The console shifter just gets in the way, takes up prime cargo space and in my wife's Jeep, the dog constantly bumps the console shifter into neutral!    Best choice ever to just make it a column shifter across the lineup and be done with it.    (Bonus: Makes swapping from a 5 seater to a six seater far easier)
    • I had an 88 K1500 with a 5.7 that had those symptoms, I know totally different, it ended up being the ECM. Once you get the fuel system fixed if it still runs lousy you may want to investigate that. it didn't set any codes, stalled ,ran rough at times etc
    • Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-
    • Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.
