I ordered the new 2020 gmc 3500 and have a tpw of March 16th, does anyone know how long after it’s built the delivery time to get to the dealership in Omaha? Thanks for any input

We ordered our 2020 GMC AT4HD 3500 on Dec 9th.  We had been given an expectation of 8-12 weeks for production and delivery.  The build request had been excepted from the factory and given a build date with in less than two weeks from order with an build week of 24 Jan.  Our new baby was produced on 27 Jan or 1 Feb (depending on who we spike with), sent to an outfitter for sprayed in bed liner on the 4th supposedly, invoice I believe on the 5th.  Was given a Expiration of transit time (delivery) of 27 Feb.  Truck was placed in a Hold status code for a reason we have not been told around 6/7 March.  No reason why so much time elapsed before any updates to status of the truck between 5 Feb and 6/7 March.  It was supposedly updated this past Friday to waiting on a rail car from Flint.  We have been told at least 5-10 days from being put on a rail car that we should see it here in Newport News, VA.  

 

I know this may not make you feel any better, but hope that it gives you a realistic expectation.

 That’s so weird gm would allow trucks to sit for so long before shipping. Must cost them a fortune. Congrats on the new at4. Thanks for the update

Thanks and you are welcome!!  Looking forward to getting her!  After two and half hours with the dealerships GM and the Regional Manager Saturday a week ago, he the RegMan was making an assumption that mine, (and several others due to his AOR) had possible been held because of an inspection/investigation/issue of some sort needed to be addressed prior to leaving the factory.   hope to get an update tomorrow or Tuesday.

 

Congrats on your Denali and hope your order goes a little more smoothly than ours.  We highly considered that one but chose the AT4 instead.  Kinda wish we had gone with the Denali with the incentives that are out there now for them.

    • The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • 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!
