95%...so you’re saying there’s still a chance. Lol from dumb and dumber. 

 

This is late in the production season, I would wait also.

Beyond frustrated.... ordered 19 Chev Silverado Custom Trail Boss 13 weeks ago.  I've had to reach out to the dealership multiple times, finally was told that it is out of production and bayed in Fort Wayne as of 5/14/19.  It has been assigned a VIN. Any feel for delivery time frame, northern Wisconsin?  The whole thing seems ridiculous, considering was given a 6 week time frame in late February. Looking for a sanity check. 

 

There are dozens of these on dealer lots marked down $4-7k right now... I can't figure out why anyone would order one. I know another guy who has been waiting 3 months... for a Shadow Grey Crew Can Custom... there's like 5 on dealer lots within a 20 mile range

 

The custom has a handful of option packages/items and a handful of colours. You could even get one transfered from another dealer. Makes no sense to order a run of the mill truck other than to say you custom ordered it... 

 

3 dealers around me are offering huge discounts on their trucks on the lot. Shop around. No point waiting for something thats  in stock

I'm looking for a little help here. Approximately 3 weeks ago I placed an order with my dealer for a '19 1500 AT4 Dbl cab. I know it's late in the model year for orders, but I wanted the 6.2 with the performance off road pkg, as well as, I wanted it in black. The combination has been impossible to find off the lot anywhere near me. Anyways what I was wondering is if any of you guys could tell me what your experience was for the time line when ordering and what to expect. Like I said it's been 3 weeks, according to my salesman the order hasn't been "picked up" by GM yet. So what I assume that to mean is it hasn't been given a build date yet. Just wondering about how long it takes to get a build date ect. The sales guy told me it can take 4-6 weeks but he also kinda said they my never build it due to constraints and what not, maybe that was a ploy to make sure I would do a "sold order" deal with them (which I had no problem doing) but idk. He implied it would be more likely to be picked up if it was a sold order. Any info you guys can provide would be awesome. Im kinda outa my league on this one, never ordered a vehicle before, but I figured if I'm spending 70k just as well get exactly what I want.

If your dealer isn't a big Chevy or GMC dealer, then change your dealer if GM won't pick up your order by next week. You can ask the dealer to give you the event code. You can also chat with GM to get more accurate information. By having your event code, you can find the stats of your order. 

If everything goes smoothly, it takes almost 2 to 2.5 months to get your truck from the time putting your order.

I placed order at dealer on april 6 , got informed of a build date about 3 weeks ago that my build date is june 24 .

When I placed my order, dealer told me a good 3 months

It’s been 9 1/2 weeks for me so far. The dealer told me that it is still in the process of being shipped and being prepared to be shipped to the dealership. Hopefully not too much longer... Good luck everyone...

I received word from my dealer just this past week that the order has been bayed and waiting on transportation. From anyone's personal experience, how much longer can I expect for the truck to get to the dealership? I placed my order on May 2nd. Based off what I've read, I'm guessing I am still weeks away.

 

Any other ways to check the vehicle status? My apologies if this has already been covered earlier in this thread.

I was given a 10 week delivery forecast. The 20th of June it will be 10 weeks.

GMC Canada has a Facebook site and when I PM’d them my order number, they were able to give me a location status. I’m sure the US has that as well. Give it a try!

Well, 10 weeks to the day. My AT4 is finally sitting at the dealer going thru PDI. I’m a wee bit anxious.... :)

I've got that anxious feeling, as well.  I compare it to being a kid and waiting on Christmas morning and summer vacation all mixed into one.  Out of curiosity, who are you going to finance with?  I think I am going to omit GM Financial and go with a local credit union

I’m going with GM financial. It the only way I could get some of the incentives offered thru where I work. Enjoy the new truck!

Ordered (pluncked down my deposit) my 2019 LTZ CC (everything but Z71) . Was told 6-8 weeks but already mentioned that there may be a delay for the bed liner spraying? Late production orders seem to be more variable. We'll see when the order is actually placed. Wish me luck, hoping for before Labor Day.

You don’t have to leave a deposit. Many dealerships will try to do this. Just tell them no and go to another. I ordered a $68,000 truck and deposit wasn’t even mentioned.

I'm not questioning/ doubting you, rather asking out of my own ignorance, but if you don't give them a deposit, is there a risk of them selling your truck to someone else once it's built and delivered?

    • 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.  
    • 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?
