Yep - my TPW is 9/23.  Same configuration as you.  Guessing there's a likelihood of delay.  They'll work it out...  Patience...

good.  the less 2019/2020 ugly silverados, out on the road, the better for the public. 

I mean!!! 
Too bad.

Ordered my 3500 AT4 last week.... Maybe Christmas?

I ordered my 3500 HD dually 2 weeks ago and yes I guess we will need patience. At loss's of 80+ million a day I don't think it will be very long....I hope

Depending on the results and outcome of the strike resolution, I'm a little worried about my truck being built within the first couple weeks of operations starting back up....  :)

 

My target production was 9/23.

I'm built and was supposed to ship last week...sitting there collecting dust now.

Yeah, admittedly that makes me nervous as well.

just curious, some of you are ordering Denali's why would you do that when there literally hundreds on dealer lots in every color and configuration?

look at Laura GMC website.

with their trucks marked 10k off sticker if your willing to make a drive or fly 1 way you can drive one home by this weekend!

why wait for a truck to be built when you can just go buy it?

Yeah my TPW was 9/16, the day they went on strike.... so now I’m a little worried I’ll have angry, upset workers piecing my truck together.  It’s been about a month since I checked the status of my truck so maybe my TPW got bumped up a week and my truck was already built

Maybe they are doing Testing

They are getting some trucks shipped.  I saw four car haulers headed south yesterday.  

 

 

The truckers union said they would honor the strike and not delver vehicles.   Btw, they are still building 1500's in Mexico, not affected.

    • On the subject of OLM, Gm's OLM tool may be more "informed" than others brands. I recall OLM's in mid-2000's Chrysler products literally counting down a set number of miles. That's all the OLM appeared to be.    I would actually expect GM to be able to explain the parameters that their OLM takes into account from a high level. No, I would not expect them to disclose their software coding or data analysis around their parameters.   So we're talking about two different topics, so to continue the subject on the other one, I'd be curious to know how much "standard particulate matter" in fresh oil is able to be filtered at first start by a fresh oil filter. How much particulate matter is enough to "matter"?   I.e. how much of a "lever" do we think this equates to (variability in particulate content, in fresh oils, between different makes/brands, some which filter less, and some that filter more).   We can say that more particles = more wear = shorter engine life as a logical statement and use that data with a little marketing to scare people into selecting a more refined/filtered oil. Using a similie, is this like deciding to forego two alcoholic drinks in a lifetime because we're worried about the potential impact on lifespan? Are there numbers which translate the ISO test results into a quantifiable increase in wear for a given engine/use case?
    • I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually recalibrate the speedometer it just changes the wheel speed sensor inputs to the computer. The truck still thinks it has stock tires.
    • I apologize, I missed this post, at risk of going off CURRENT TOPIC.   I'm not saying it is BS, I'm questioning how much information is being held back. GM is NOT going to spell out exactly every parameter in the algorithm. Liability, intellectual property, etc.    I'm not naive enough to believe that it is as simple as revolutions, coolant temperature, miles, time; are you?    I don't do irrational either, and boiling the OLM down to four simple values that I could code in an afternoon (I'm not a coder) is irrational - unless it suits your agenda to ignore it. 
    • Chris 21 I appreciate your constructive response. !!  😉😉😉   The 6.6 is gas.  Correct me if I’m wrong but by recalibrating the speedo you’re correcting the shift points of the transmission on these trucks.?.
    • That is a huge misconception.     Bigger does not always equal safer.  Modifying does not make it safer either, with exceptions.   Think of this.  Your truck in stock form is capable of emergency maneuvers, proper stopping distances, its handling is designed around the factory wheel/tire packages, etc.   37s and a lift?  Now you've affected your braking distances, handling and ride control.  You've raised your center of gravity higher.  Your front visibility is now obstructed more than stock, same for your rear.  Does it look cooler?  Yes.  Does it now work as good as it did from factory on road?  NO.       As for my mention of exceptions?  Say you had a sedan or crossover.  They typically come with all season tires.  If you swap out for a performance all season or a summer tire, you improve your car by lowering its stopping distance (better braking because of traction) and improve the handling (regular and emergency) of the vehicle.  That is an actually improving modification.  My old 2019 LD 1500, I ran UHP all season tires on 20in wheels in a factory offered size.  It improved all aspects of how it drove over the Duratracs it came with from the factory in the stock 18" tire.
