A Chevy chat rep told me a couple of weeks ago that there was an update as of 6/28 that said it was released from quality control. At the time I thought it meant the chip had been installed and I got happy. A month later still no shipment, but if you also heard something similar maybe it really is just waiting for shipment. Not sure if I should be hopeful or even more pissed at that hah.

Is yours being produced in Mexico or Ft Wayne?

Mexico here.  
 

Looks like the three of us are in the same boat.  Let’s try to each other informed of any updates.  Any news is good news at this point.

Well I think I just took an escape hatch. My dealer got notice of a truck coming in almost exactly like mine. The only two differences are that the front bowtie is gold ( easy to change)  and this one was made after the start/stop function was no longer being added (no complaints.) He has agreed to sell it to me with the original order's deal. I think he is tired of hearing from me. This one is coming from Mexico. Plain ole LT 1500. It is on a train in Texas so I think I might actually see this one this century.

Happy for you but clearly they are shipping them out of order.  We all know that was assembled well after February.

To followup on my July 25 posting, I received my truck a month and a day after putting down my deposit on a truck, "in transit."  I paid for the truck in full before it arrived to lock in the GM discounts and Costco discount that were due to reset August 2, which was kind of a gamble on my part.  The truck arrived a few days later but GM had the gall to send me a dealer satisfaction survey after I had paid in full but before I had received the truck!  I told them the dealer was stuck in this mess that they had created just as I am and that they should be ashamed for not being transparent, truthful, and forthright!  I'm sure it fell on deaf ears.

What sort of Costco discount is available?  I see this mentioned all the time but can never find anything useful on their website despite being a member.

It was $1000 credit invoiced by the dealer but it ended August 2.  I don't see it on the Costco site now.  I got one in 2017 but if I remember correctly, that time it was a $1000 Costco gift card.

I went to Chevy locator (I goggled it) and was able to select the options I was looking for (LTZ premium package, Technology package, Z71 Off road and protection package, engine size, and color) within 500 miles from my zip. Found the exact truck I wanted within 270 miles from me, AND it was in stock. Also received $3500 off with GM incentives.

Ok, just ordered a 2021 RST Z71 Duramax with standard bed. Dealer said arrival would be 12-16 weeks. Looking for feedback on your experience with ordering if in the last couple of month. How did the dealer stick with your trade estimates and did rebates stay the same or drop off. I live in the PNW and dealer mark ups are over $5k and there’s nothing in stock in the whole state, so ordering was the only method. BTW, got the vehicle for MSRP minus &3k in incentives if they hold up. Thanks

Vehicle is finally on the rail. 

 

Good deal. Mine has been at the destination rail yard since Monday. Anyone have any experience on how long it takes to go from rail yard to dealer?

Where I'm located at it is pretty fast from rail yard to dealer.  Maybe a couple days.  Just depends on if they can find a trucker to haul them or not.  Sometimes the dealer will just send someone up there to haul it back.

To update you, mine is on the rail now.   Not sure if yours is yet.  I know we both have ours in Mexico.

    • The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that. 
    • "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
