I feel everyone's pain that has an order stuck right now.  I have a couple of vehicles suffering the same fate right now. One of them a sold order CT5 V-Series.  

 

Luckily my 6.2 Custom Trail Boss was built yesterday and shipped this morning.

Picked up my Double Cab AT4 today. Really pleased with how my order came out. I picked the right trim, options and color.

My truck arrived at the rail yard in Mesquite, Tx yesterday afternoon.  Invoiced today so the truck should be here by the end of the week.  My truck was built with DFM.  I think all 10 speed autos keep DFM.

When did you order your truck? Do you know in which factory it was built?

I am in the same situation, ordered a 2500HD AT4 back in october 2020 and still no tpw. Allotment issue as per my salesman. Other place says optional stuff constraint. At the end of the day, no transparency at all from GM chat or dealer...

It's crazy man.... Im going on 6 months + and still no word on anything... I don't want to abandon my build but I might have to and go to a bigger dealer...

Newby question here: Do you save any money or are you able to negotiate price with the dealer when you order?  I am looking for some specific options on a Trail Boss that my local dealer either can't find or can't get another dealer to trade on due to limited inventory.

 

Just looking for advice.  The good new is, im in no hurry and have time to wait if needed.

You can generally get a better price by taking what's on the lot.  Having said that, for what these cost, order and get exactly what you want.  You can still take advantage of things like Supplier pricing and incentives.  The difference being that you won't know what incentives (assuming they continue) will be available at the time that you take delivery of the truck.

Thanks Jim, I'm just a regular citizen, no access to supplier pricing that I can find.  Any advice there?

You may be surprised. Your profession may qualify you for special pricing. My wife is a Naval Pediatric Nurse. Nurses get healthcare employee pricing, and military personnel get first responder pricing. They happen to be the same discount, so it doesn't matter. Just can't double-dip on the discount.

That seems fast.  What lead time were you expecting?  I am placing an order in a few days and was guided it could be 12 weeks.

I was expecting 8-12 weeks.  I've been ordering for a long time and I've never seen a 1500 arrive this quickly.  I've seen 6 weeks before but that was when production was "normal".  With supplier issues and shortages, I was fully prepared to wait 12 weeks for my truck to arrive.  Less than 4 weeks is just insane right now.  It's right up there with the fastest we've ever gotten a vehicle.  It's not uncommon for us to receive Tahoes/Escalades in 2-3 weeks since we're so close to the Arlington plant.  I've also had Corvettes show up in 3 weeks but that was during the C7 days.

I know this has been beat to a pulp - but I put a deposit on a Trail Boss my dealer had headed to their inventory back in beginning of March. Since then the truck hasn’t moved. It’s on hold with event code 4D00 for about 4-5 weeks now.  Dealer is leaning on microchip shortage for reasoning.  GM chat yesterday said it was “completely assembled and awaiting shipment.” 
 

What are the chances this thing gets out of factory before mid May? My current lease expires on 5/15, so time is tight.  Can’t wait for it, just pushing the envelope is all.

 

Thanks for any input! Long time read, first time post!

Slim to none are the chances you will see it by mid-May.  I might be wrong but there are literally thousands of these things sitting waiting on parts.  I have no idea why either because some of them are shipping out with no delay.  There seems to be no rhyme or reason why some are hold and some aren't.

 

I'd ask your dealer if they have any that aren't currently at 4D00.

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

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      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.

      Active Grille Delete

      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?
