Hello All,

i read the UAW contract was ratified by GM employees (narrowly) yesterday.  My order was placed in early October, but I haven’t tried to check it because...strike.   

 

Now that the strike is over, I am ready to start tracking like a bloodhound,  but need some help finding the trail. Lol

Searched the forum and cannot find any recent tracking tips.   Can someone please point me in the right direction?   Thanks in advance for your help!

Already tried that with no success, was hoping someone here had a different method.   Guess I should have mentioned that.   

Do you have your order number?

 

If not, you need to get it from your dealer. 

Then you can use gm chat to get the current 'event code' for your order. 

 

If you are in Canada, 'chat' won't give you any info -- you will need to get 'event code' updates from you dealer.

 

Understand that the system really isn't intended or designed to provide 'live' status of the order to the customer. 

Sometimes a little information is better than none -- and sometimes it just makes it more frustrating.

I do have my order number, thank you for the info, much appreciated!  Looks like the gmauthority site hasn’t been updating for over a month now.

If you're in the US,  gm chat will fix you up.

Thanks again.  Chatted this morning, still no production date though?

Going to take at least a week before they get things really cranking at the plants again. Machines that were running 24/7 don't like it when you shut down and restart them after sitting as long as the strike was.

She did it for my GMC.  Any US dealer can check any order number, they just enter and it returns a status code only, nothing else.  Takes all of a few seconds.  I see her tracking Blazer's, HD2500's etc.

UPDATE ON ORDER BGJRKD

THANKS

According to chat: 

Congratulations! Your vehicle has been produced. It is important to know that shipping arrangements will take place next and your selling dealer is the best source for additional detail on that process.

    • I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing. 
    • get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.
    • This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.
    • Stabilitrack was a stability control, traction control system, that functioned independently from the transfer case.   Z-71 has nothing to do with the transfer case or differential.   If it does have an AWD system, my memory recalls this being specific to the Denali trim, converting won't be as simple as swapping out mechanical parts like differentials and transfer cases. It will require reprogramming at a minimum. Long story short, not likely worth it.   Pulling a fuse, may disable the AWD system, it might also prevent any other transfer case functions.   However, the AWD case was generally based on the same transfer case you refer to in the 2006 Suburban. If it still has a 4-High and 4-Low where the transfer case locks and splits power 50-50 front to rear, what are you gaining by changing anything? A true-rear wheel drive only, what good will that serve? Not enough to go through the trouble of changing out all the parts.    Generally, all the factory systems will handle a 33" tire and re-gearing. Probably a 35" tire too, if you aren't driving like a caveman. If 35" tires are in the plan...   If you do plan on driving like a caveman or are fully committed to 35" tires, an entire re-think of the build is probably in order. Starting with square one, an IFS front end isn't going to be the best starting point for 35's and caveman driving. 
    • 1/2 qt over full ain`t gonna hurt $h!t. Most times, a whole qt won`t either. Most have windage trays now. As long as the crank isn`t slapping itself in the oil, it`s not the end of the world.   We used to overfill 1 qt at the track, at race time. Better to have it over full than having the pan sucked dry at 6500 rpm`s.
