Ordered mine on Nov 17th and arrived on Jan 2nd which delivery was delayed because of the holidays. Didn't matter though because the truck came in with the wrong color interior and they had to reorder another truck. Ordered 2nd truck on Jan 5th and got it on Feb 17th. Seems like they were right on with the delivery date on the second truck or at least with in a day or so. They shoud be able to tell you if its on the truck yet or not.

Mine took 12 weeks. I was quoted 8. They actually lost the truck for two weeks before they found it in a parking lot somewhere in Michigan.

It then took them another 2 weeks to deliver it 600 miles.

 

I don't think my experience is the norm. Just wanted you to know that it could happen!

I ordered mine late October 2001, finally took delivery first of March 2002. I would hope that their build time has improved since then.

Just under two months for mine. They are VERY accurate with the timing on your truck as long as it's in the plant. For instance, if there was someway with your VIN# (provided you have it) that you could monitor it on a daily basis, you could. Each time it passes an assembly area, it's logged.

 

Once it leaves the factory though and is on a truck, all bets are off. Some drivers take the scenic route

I ordered my 2500HD in the summer of 2001. It took my truck 10 weeks to arrive. One reason mine may have taken a little longer to be built is because I specified the 6sp manual, and my salesman said that unpopular options will some times add to the lead time. My truck is a 2002, I took delivery on Sept. 12 2001. One week before 0.0% financing was made available. Just my luck! After the dealer received the VIN it took about 1 week to the day to deliver the truck.

 

Randy- judging by the amount of time elapsed you should see that heavy Silver any day now. Just try to sleep at night. I know its hard to do this close to the delivery date!

I dont own a HD, I do own an 03 Tahoe

Ordered In late Jan of 03.

Called GM w/ my order code and i was told production was to begin at thier Janesville,WI plant in March sometime. I continued to follow up, and i learned that once they recived a certain 'count' they would begin the production. Truck was built in March and I picked it up from dealership when it arrived there in Late April/Beginning of May 03.

Best of luck!!

The number i called was on the GM Web Site, under the dealer 'use' numbers :P

i simply called, stated Im following up order and gave them the order code.

When my dad ordered his 03 1500HD they also "lost" it, somewhere. Took an extra MONTH to "find" it. Then they finally shipped it, and my dad had to "bitch" to get it out of holding from one of the holding places down here, whatever they do there. we were watching them clean it cause he wanted it.. baaaaaad. lol. he was pizzed needless to say... forget when he actually got it.

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
