Speaking of the assumed 2022 date, does anyone know when ordering is opened up in a normal year in relation to the first day of production? The closer it gets to 2022, the more I'm having second thoughts on my 2021 order

I have no clue, but ordering just opened up on the 2022 Sierra HDs, and their production date start mid-July. You could probably go off of that, which means ordering for 2022 Sierra 1500s will be around July-August. Honestly I have a 2021 ordered but since it's still at 1100 I'm just gonna wait till they officially reveal 2022 and then go from there.

Anyone taking delivery of their ordered trucks from March/April, or even May (if it isn't on hold)?  I ordered mine in May, dealer said it was in production, but won't be able to tell me anything else until it is finished from the assembly line.

Given there are a number of production codes GM assigns to a vehicle as it goes through the ordering and production process, either your sales guy is very, very lazy, and doesn't care about even making a pretense of keeping you happy, or they are just shining you on and they don't have allocation anytime soon, and don't want to admit to you that it likely will be some time before you get the truck, or if you will get it (as GM may switch to 2022's before then)...

Does anyone know how and when the dealer being invoiced fits into the delivery schedule?  My order was built first week of May, "shipped" second week of May, and the dealer was invoiced at that time.   ETA was May 21st.   Four weeks later, no updates, no ETA.  Event code stuck at 4300.  Dealer has shown me my order event codes which were never at MP or 4D00. 

At the same time, he has other orders in his system which have no visible invoice, and MP on the event code since late May, but some of these trucks were delivered on his lot this past week.

From what I can tell from various forums and talking to my dealer and others, the codes might not be helpful right now. Your truck may be at 4300 till the day they call you and 4300 may mean it’s MP even without the MP. My dealer said he is giving up trying to figure out when these things are coming (he is waiting on 5 sold orders, just had 3 show up out of no where)

Where do you build a 2022? I didn't see anything on GMs website for any 2022s.

Local dealer said they will start taking orders for 2022s in late August or September

Hey All,

 

Ordered a Silverado 1500 I6 Diesel LTZ with only the Z71 package extra.  Dealer said preliminary order was accepted on May 27 and today said the factory accepted the order. 

 

Took me a month and a half to find a dealer to order what I wanted with Supplier pricing and GM Rewards.. I even tried to order from the #1 volume dealer in the country in Texas and they said they would not sell to me unless I lived in the state...  we'll see if my local state volume dealer will honor the pricing if and when the truck arrives along with the rebates which at the time they promised.  They said there was GM Star Guarantee or something like that which they promise the rebates at time ordered and will honor them when it arrives if they happen to be even better.  Rebates already went down $1000 in the wrong direction..

 

Saw mention of Driver Alert holding up orders, is that for lane changes or?  Thanks and good luck to all you fellow waiters.

I got good news from my dealer today that my Silverado Crew Cab 1500 completed build today and assigned a VIN, 4 weeks after order accepted!  Also it was built in Ft Wayne, which makes me happy since I read Crew Cabs were assembled in Siloa, sorry Mexico, but I prefer to buy American.  When it will ship (via rail), no idea.. but he said trucks are flowing pretty well.

 A dealer that I have been talking with says that they are now taking pre-orders on 2022's.  Has anyone else heard that?  Tempted to pull the trigger but would like to actually see what the truck is going to look like and confirmation that the 2022 will be different than the 2021......

Truck is on the dealer website "in transit"!  Hoping that doesn't mean they will screw me and try to give me back my deposit and cancel our deal...

No worries! It’s how it’s done. Hell my guy said he could have sold my truck 3 times….showed in transit, then in prep area, then parked on the lot waiting for me to close the deal! 
 

you will be enjoying the rig soon! Congrats!

I went to my local dealer May 10th, they already had the truck I wanted coming. At that time it was already built, had vin, just waiting on the chip. I put down my deposit and here we are almost 2 months later and nothing has changed. 2021 Sierra AT4 6.2L.

    • 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.
