Trucks have rake so they don't have squat-butt when loaded.

Oh the wait.... I ordered my 2019 (because they wouldn't let me order a 2018) on May 11th.  its a GMC 3500HD SLT SRW Duramax/Allison 4x4 Z71 and it's killing me how much lack of information GM or my Dealer has on my order.  It was built on 6/25 and in "Status 4300" in Flint since 6/27 and not moved as of this posting (7/10/18) GM Chat has no update and no eta on shipment.  Why in this day and age does GM not have a website that interactively tracks an order so you can have more info like Why it's sitting for weeks waiting to be shipped?  The GM Chat people are even starting to get a little "Short" with me contacting them weekly for updates. 

 

Any therapy appreciated,

Another week gone by it's 07/17/18 and on Friday the Salesman called to say "no news on your truck, waiting for it to be put on a railcar".   Really, 2 and a half weeks post production and it hasn't moved from the shipping lot... Arrgh!

 

 07/19/18 Well at least some progress... it Finally made it on a Rail Car and is due into a Rail hub in Petersburg, VA by tomorrow (Friday) so I'm a little more encouraged, that's only 2 hours Driving time away from my dealership so maybe I'll get it by August <insert big sigh here>. 

 

07/20/18 Great to at least FINALLY have status changes every couple of days.  Very thankful to get the update tonight at 5:45 that it reached the Rail Hub in Petersburg, VA on schedule and has been loaded on a transport truck for dispatch to the Dealership!  Maybe I'll see it in the next 3-5 days??

 

7/24/18 Still waiting :-( Tomorrow will be 1 month anniversary of the truck being built. It sat for 2.5 weeks in the parking lot in Flint Michigan, then it was finally put on a rail car and sent to the distribution hub in Petersburg, VA last week so we'll see how long it sits there. Unfortunately that's only a 2 hour drive from my dealership.... The wait is still killing me but GM sure isn't in a hurry to get this "special order" out of its hair.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

FINALLY after 11 weeks of Waiting and 3 years of saving plus a call to the General manager to ask why it's been sitting for 3.5 weeks of its new life in a shipping yard it arrived Yesterday.

 

Wow, well worth it.  Everything I expected it to be.  

 

That's all I have to say about that!  My first Diesel truck and one of the first 2019s to make it to their new home.  See attached

Really?  A truck comes with rake?  Wow!  Listen people, trucks are built to tow and haul, not to be level like your wife or sisters car!  When loaded heavy or towing heavy, the rear squats to accept the additional load.  If it's level before additional weight, then it's going to squat lower than the front and not be set up properly or safely.  Get over it already.

I guess you never heard of air bags? Ram has them as an option.

Actually...I have. I don't see your point here. I'm well aware of the Ram bags that help level, but we are not talking about the Ram...

I noticed that the local GMC and Chevy dealer got a load of 2019 HD's this week so yours is probably close.  I am sure you realize the 2019 HD's are just a carry over from 2018 and not the new body style. 

 

The 1st 2 weeks of July GM is typically on company wide vacation shutdown.

This is normal, it can take up to 4wks, logistics takes time. Transit to NC will be train so its probably on a truck somewhere right now. 

There is a nationwide shortage of truck drivers.

Thank you for the reply, Right and understood on the no body style changes since those aren't due until mid-production year 2019 (that's why I ordered early, didn't like the fender well angle cuts on the 19's).  I did get an update Tuesday that it Finally made it on a Rail Car and is due into a Rail hub in Petersburg, VA by tomorrow (Friday) so I'm a little more encouraged, that's only 2 hours Driving time away from my dealership so maybe I'll get it by August <insert big sigh here>.  Tough being a first time new Vehicle purchaser (custom order) and still cannot believe the lack of communications from GM...

Have we determined they begin "mass producing" the 2019 crew cabs this week/next week?  Is the next step they will begin having one at each dealer to show them off?

Try ordering one back in the 70's and not knowing a thing until three months later the dealer calls you to tell you your vehicle is in.  At least you have some information to go by.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
