Right on cue, our 2019 Silverado has been loaded onto the factory computers and will be built at some point in the next few days.  If you've been following our adventure of being one of the first to take delivery of a new 2019 Chevy Silverado LTZ then you've seen us go through each step of the process. 

 

First we ordered.  Then we got our order number.  THEN we found out when our order would be produced. Today we have confirmation that our Silverado has reached event code 3400, which means that our options have been loaded onto the plant's computer. Our optioned out sleek blue beauty will soon go from our imagination to real life sheet metal. 

 

The next step is Event Code is 3800, which will indicate that not only has our 2019 been built but also has a VIN assigned. Shortly after that is 4000 and 4200 which will mean our Silverado is ready to be shipped and then on its way. 

 

Thanks to Chevrolet Chat for giving us the skinny on our order. Stay tuned for more updates as they come in.

I doubt Ft. Wayne, probably Mexico where my 2018 was assembled.:(

It’s literally just a shame that GM builds their bread and butter trucks in Mexico while Ford builds it in the heartland of America. Hell even the Tundra and Titan are built all in America. I’m sure the Trucks built in Mexico are to spec, but I’m convinced die hard truck buyers are more confident in buying an American made vehicle.

Zane where are the 19 built????

 

       Thanks  GH

I believe it depends on the cab.  Crews in Mexico and everything else at Fort Wayne.

Not sure about the 2019 but Fort Wayne was building 2018 crew cabs I test drove one that was built there. Unless demand drops I would think they would carry this over to the 2019's as well.

So far the 2019's I've seen VIN numbers for (new body crew) start with a "1" and the plant digit is a "Z" so Ft. Wayne. 

 

Silao is still handling K2 crew production, with the last DOSP cycle 9/27/18.  Silao K2 production doesn't end until 12/8/2018 that I've been able to find, so there will be more 2018 crew cabs coming still.

The event code is 3400 and it looks like it will be produced in either Mexico or Flint. I am unable to verify at this time because it states that crew cabs are produced in Mexico but yours is a short crew. It is not clear if that is the same. So, your selling dealer can provide you more information about which plant it specifically is being built at. We won't be able to see until it is produced and the information is tied to the VIN.

Couple test subjects above.  11th digit of the VIN is a Z, Ft. Wayne.  I can confirm based on the builds of both as FWI - Ft.Wayne, IN T&B plant RPO on both builds.  First truck was built 7/17, second truck 7/13.

wow,check this out!  our local dealer says they have 4 new 2019 Silverados on stock.   checked it out and they are the 2019 LD model that looks just like the 2018s!!    go figure,seems silly to get one of those and just wait for the new style 2019s.    they have at least 40 of the 2018s on the lot right now.  lol

Within the Rochester, NY area, there is only one or two dealers that have a truck at 4300 that I know of.  Most everyone is 3000-3800.  Of the 5 we have ordered for stock, one is 3400, one is 3100 the other 3 are 3000.  We checked a wider scan last week within 1500 miles, nobody was at 5000.  Some 4300s though.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
