Hello everyone,

I ordered several things through the chevy accessories website for my custom trail boss back in December and was later emailed stating that the fog lights were on back order. It's going on three weeks since the email and they still haven't arrived at the dealer (that has "no way of knowing" when they will arrive). 

Has anyone had experience with GM parts being on back order and normal wait times or ways of obtaining information (the website says call the dealer; the dealer says they don't know check the website)?

Thanks

I'm still waiting for my rims.  It's going on 3 months now.  Was part of the deal when I bought my truck in early November.

 

Sooooo... 

GM "back order"

Fekkin SUCKS!

 

Gonna make a trip to the dealership this weekend to cancel the order (if I can) and see if they will just cut me a check.

 

I don't have much faith in them cooperating, so this may escalate quickly.  I'm glad I have not submitted my customer satisfaction survey yet ?

I agree that is part of it and I do understand.

But 3 months is a bit much.

Time is up imo.

 

  To the OP, give it a little more time.  3wks isnt very long for a BO.  You hopefully will hear something soon.  But as the consumer, you do have the right to cancel your order.

I agree, 3 months is overkill. I already paid the dealer installation fee, so I don't know how likely they would be to refund... ha

From my experience (with the illuminated front black bowtie) the dealer couldn't see anything, and the chat people said I had to contact them. When I told the chat people on Chevy's accessory website that I was getting the run around, they were finally able to look into it a little bit more, at least enough to tell me my order had not shipped yet.

 

They charged my card the day the order shipped to my dealer for install. So if you have been charged, it should be on the way!

 

You can get a full refund from the dealer (including installation), as long as there aren't special order parts.

Well, I have just been notified that my rims and tires finally came in.

 

Sooooo.....

To the OP, as I mentioned above, I have waited nearly 3 months, but they have finally come in.  So your parts may take AWHILE, but I'm sure they will come in eventually.

I experienced the same back and forth. I guess I will just have to wait it out...

That's great but I really hope I don't have to wait another two months

While this isn't necessarily about a truck, it is about GM parts on backorder. Super long story short, after a P0302 code was being thrown, my barely two-year-old Ford Fusion was found to be leaking coolant into my header gasket, which in turn leaked into cylinder two. Extensive damage has been done and Ford is buying me a brand new engine thanks to the powertrain warranty. However, it's on backorder across the entire country. Wondering how long I'm going have to wait.  The dealership said at least 3 weeks but I'm wondering if it's going to be more like 3 months... Any thoughts, comments, recommendations, etc., are really appreciated!!

I noticed they charged my card on Saturday and called Monday... They are finally in!! I'm gonna drop her off Friday to have them installed as well as address the factory recall for the seat belt exhaust ports! I can't wait, this is the aspect of a truck I have missed since my '99

Welcome to the site.

 

I would open a claim/complaint with GM, your truck was in the "shop" for more than 30 days, so if the fix fails, you are in Lemon Law/Buy Back territory. 

 

Don' settle, you have a new truck that you are making payments on while it sits idle at the dealership.

      Brand new to this forum. Questions about re-gearing my 26’ HD

      By BDS my HD · Posted

      Hello hello looking forward to expanding my knowledge of the 2026 2500 HD that I just bought.   Truck has 3500 miles on it four-wheel-drive crew cab and I’m about to put a 6 1/2 inch BDS lift on it 18 x 10 -25 offset with 37’s   Already have the wheels and tires just waiting on the lift install in about three weeks   Question what surprises am I not gonna be happy with?  I’m not new to lifted trucks so I know that acceleration towing gas mileage all that is affected..   Question is those of you that have this truck this powertrain with a 10 speed Allison and have done the mods that I’m doing,,, how bad is it? Is that Allison constantly gonna be hunting for the right gear to go into? And what about towing, acceleration, fuel consumption as mentioned?    Lastly how come I can’t find any ring pinion gear set up for these axles and when could I expect to see them?   I apologize if there’s any typos I’m doing speech to text on my iPhone.

      2013 2500HD 6.0L intermittent no crank no start

      By linc45bn · Posted

      I've got a 2013 2500 6.0L Flexfuel. Drove the truck earlier today with no issues. Went to run an errand tonight and noticed key fob wouldn't work. Figured battery was dead, so replaced fob batter. Still wasn't working. Grabbed my other set of keys with the other fob and that one wasn't working either. So I manually unlock truck and insert key. Interior lights come on, dashboard lights up, turn key and truck starts. Turn truck off, like a moron, and try starting again. This time no crank, no click, no nothing. Lights still come on and dash lights up, but now I'm getting a service 4wheel drive, service tire monitor, etc. Check voltage on battery and Im showing 12.2v. Throw my battery charger on it and give it 15 mins and try starting again. But still no crank no start. Decide maybe its a bad battery, run to autozone grab a new one and put it in. Same issue. Disconnect battery and let it sit for 15 mins. Try again and still nothing. I had managed to roll the windows down earlier as its a humid night, but now I can't get them to roll up. Power locks are also not working now. Then randomly I try the key again, and it fires right up. Immediately I roll up the windows as we have nothing but rain forecast this week. I shut it back off wait 30 seconds and start up again. Worked a 2nd time. So turn it off, start putting things back together. Try one more time, and back to no crank no start. And now the car alarm starts going off. Had to disconnect battery and leave it that way for the night as I don't think my neighbors would appreciate my alarm going off again tonight. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

      GMC 1500 Illuminated Front Grill Emblem REPLACEMENT.

      By Peoplemvr · Posted

      Hi there.  Long time lurker, first post.    i have read the previous posts regarding the water ingress problem with this emblem.  I bought my 1500 SLT the  summer of 2025 new and after reading the MANY problems with these emblems failing I decided to install one anyways.  As per a YouTube video, I sealed ( or tried to) this sign with silicone sealant around the outer perimeter joint and the holes that were already somewhat sealed on the rear plate of the emblem.  And installed the connector assembly using dielectric grease on the connectors. The installation looked great and worked well for about 4 months……then FAILURE.  Grrrrrr…… I live in the great white north and wash my truck weekly in an automatic car wash  to keep the salt off.  Let me tell you that removing the old, failed emblem is a whole different animal than removing the OEM individual letters without removing the grill assembly. Mainly because the illuminated logo is built differently than the original letters which  you can remove the red surface lettering with a knife or some kind of blade which gives access to the tabs which hold the logo onto the grill. So I had to essentially destroyed the old emblem to remove it. Doing so killed my chance of doing somekind of autopsy on the failed , old logo.  But there was plenty of water inside when I ripped it apart.  Prior to installing the new assembly I tried it with the old harness and it works fine.   Does anyone have any insight as to where the water is getting into this emblem? I intend to seal the new logo with slow curing epoxy this time around using a syringe.  I think this newer emblem may be an updated unit which I hope GM got the vendor to fix. It has an October 2025 date on it.    If this one  fails,  I am just going to revert back to the non-illuminated letters….AFTER PULLING THE GRILL.    Any thoughts on sealing with epoxy would be appreciated. Thx!   Doug
