Hello Everybody!  First post on the forum, just placed an order for a 6.2L LT Trail Boss.  The engine is still on constraint, and who knows what will happen with the strike.  The dealer entered it as a "sold" order and will know Tuesday if the order is accepted by GM.  At least they were able to enter the preliminary order, so that is some progress (have been anxiously waiting since the May 25th announcement of the 6.2L option in the Trail Boss and RST trims)!

 

I will keep you posted on updates, I know from lurking here for months that several are interested in ordering the 6.2 Trail Boss.  

Dealer notified me yesterday, my truck is built and being spray lined now (spray lining is done off site), said to expect delivery in 12-14 days✊?!

 

Also, it was built in Ft. Wayne.  That was a nice surprise, I thought all the TBs were built in Mexico.

The spray liner is pretty quick.

The spec is 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 with the 3.0 Diesel. Tow mirrors, Off road assist steps, splash guards, basically fully loaded.

Wondering if its because i'm in Canada?

Also wondering if they build certain vehicles during certain weeks. Like one week is allocated to silverados the next week sierras or is it all just random? Can't see why you'd have a sooner build week with a later order!

I put in my order in on Dec 5 and got it accepted on Dec 19th. Build date is this week 1/6. 

 

2020 AT4, 3.0l, Driver alert packages.

I order my 3.0 LT on 11/13, was built on 12/14 and took delivery on 1/3. Quickest that I have ever got one when ordering. Funny part about it was that dealer said that he had no allocation at the time that order was pulled one week after placing it. As far as being built in Ft. Wayne I believe it's a crap shoot. My 08, 10, 12, 14, and 15 were all built in Mexico, very few problems with any of them. Not so with my 19 TB which was built in Ft. Wayne and had numerous issues. My new one came out of Mexico and I doubt it will have the problems that my previous one had.

Struggling to understand this forum. Looking for where people most what they recently paid or were offered. Is this the right location? Is there a different sub or other forum?

We are looking at a leftover 2019 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. I am specifically looking at the 1500 LD Double Cab Standard Box 4-Wheel Drive LT  All Star Edition.

 

The GMC rebate is currently 23.9% off of MSRP (That does not include whatever the GM Card discount they announced yesterday).

 

In addition, looks like a few dealers are offering between 3% and 3.5% dealer discount off off of the original MSRP.

 

26.9% to 27.4% off of MSRP.

 

While that sounds great, dealer discount sounds incredibly low.

Placed my order for a fully loaded 2020 Silverado Trail Boss LT with 6.2L and performance package on 11/30/2019. The order was accepted by GM on 12/5/2019. The build is scheduled for 1/27/202. I understand the Fort Wayne factory shuts down for two weeks around the holidays. Hopefully I hear something back soon!

My order was built this week and in transport. 

Let us know when you actually take delivery. My dealer seemed to think that I might have to wait between build completion until it ships. He said it could take up to a month. I’m hoping to take advantage of zero percent APR 72 month financing which expires 2/3/2020, so fingers crossed! The dealer did say as soon as they have a VIN, they can write up the sale. That seems a little scary to me.

If the financing doesn’t expire till 3/2, you’ll have nothing to worry about.  They get the vin pretty quick but I certainly wouldn’t do anything until it’s for sure in transit. You don’t want to do paperwork on a truck that ends up sitting at the factory for a month for whatever reason.

Sorry, I had the date wrong. It’s 2/3/2020, so if my build is scheduled for 1/27, I might have to have them write up the purchase while the truck is in transit.

My 6.2 TB LT is in transit now.  0% sounds great!  Can you point me to where you found this?  All I can find is 0% on 2019s.  If you are right, you just made my day??

    • 286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔           
    • hello I recently bought a 2012 gmc 1500 with a 5.3 and have a AFM disabler on it I'm interested in doing a cam but I'm worried if I remove the AFM system I will fail smog does anyone have info if they are able to detect that or a work around to it (not talking about hot smogging) please let me know thank you  
    • Update. I started chasing down my symptoms. Started first with pulling valve covers and looked at everything. Everything looked good and couldn't hear or feel anything different. Then a compression test. 240 psi or really close on each cylinder. I was worried I was a tooth off of timing. Not bad for an engine with 173,000. Granted I did put new heads on. I sprayed water around the injector area to see if I could hear a change. Nothing. I hooked up my new hp tuner which I should have done in the first place but I don't really know what I'm looking at just yet but am learning. I noticed the fuel trims were way off so that told me I have to have either a bad injector or exhaust leak. New injectors, so I did the shop vac on blower and in the tail pipe. Sprayed soapy water and found the exhaust flange on the drivers side was leaking. I didn't think it would be that considereding I pulled the heads and left the manifolds attached. I did have the transmission replaced not long ago. They must have not seated them properly but I guess I didn't notice. I put in new gaskets on both sides. Which by the way isn't a bad job but I had a hard time getting them to seal right. Took two attempts. Reset the fuel trims and the ticking is gone, engine runs smooth and acceleration has improved. Got to feel the real difference with that stage 1 cam. It's not that big of a difference but it does add a little more. It feels like how the truck should have been from the factory.
    • Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.
