My target production week has finally arrived!  Keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes as planned and part shortages are not becoming an issue.

 

I ordered a 2020 Denali 3500HD Duramax, Short Box, in Dark Sky Metallic.  Notable options include:

 

  • Denali Ultimate Package
  • Gooseneck/5th Wheel Package
  • High idle switch
  • Dual alternators
  • Body colour wheel arch mouldings
  • Trailer tire pressure sensors

 

If all goes well, hoping for a mid-April delivery.

I think it will be fine with parts.  My Chevy could be rolling down the line next to yours.  :)

How long did it take to get the target production week? I ordered mine (a 2020 Silverado 2500HD) on February 10th, still at a code 1100 (accepted by system) and when I inquired through Chevrolet.com today, they said there is no scheduled target production week at this time. Just curious how long you've been waiting. Thanks in advance.

Agreed, I am not too concerned about the parts...yet ?

 

Congrats on your purchase.  Are you checking in at the end of the week to see if it has changed status?

Mine was pretty fast.  I ordered it on 1/30 and had a TPW within a couple of weeks, maybe faster.  As he was building it online, my dealer told me he put it in as a "priority".  I have no idea what that means or if it impacted it.

Wow, that was fast. My salesman said mine was set for the next production cycle, whenever that will be he had no idea. Really hoping it’s soon. Guess I’ll check back with Chevy in a few days. Thanks for the fast response.

I ordered my 2020 GMC 3500HD Denali with Duramax, Ultimate Package, Carbon Black Metallic, and Snow Plow Prep on February 19th. A few days later I checked on GMC chat and they said the order was accepted by GM. I checked the chat again on February 27th and they told me the TPW was March 16th.

Congrats!  I want to see that Carbon Black, wondering how it compares to the Onyx.

I am resisting the urge to check daily!  :)  I will check Friday.  I'd like to imagine there is some sheet metal moving around at least.

Confession...I'm checking now, but am in a queue.

 

I think I have watched the assembly line you tube video at least twice right through today ?

Mine has to be getting close if you ordered yours on the 19th. I ordered mine on Feb 10th and was accepted to the system on the 11th (code 1100). But when I checked this morning, still no TPW. Here’s to hoping I get one soon.

GM Authority blogs had another article of interest. Of the GMC HD trucks being ordered, 80% are Denalis or AT4s. Suprised me. It reads like GM are making them a priority.  I think because the profit margins are so high. So cdnSpinalTap you may be in good stead.

 

No info about the Silverados.

 

Thinking of ordering a 2020 GMC 3500HD AT4 Duramax, or I might wait for the 2021 orders in May.

My TPW is this week also!  Whoo Hooo!!!!!  After you said you watched video, I looked some up, thanks  lol.  Interesting to not only see different colours coming down the line together but did you notice that there are Sierra's and Silverados of different trim levels following each other down the line?  I would have thought they would run one trim at a time but apparently not.  I find it fascinating that they can produce so many different trucks all simultaneously.   

For those that are enquiring, I ordered mine Jan 28 and I had my TPW Feb 4.    Sierra Crew Cab 3500 long box AT4

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There would be one way of determining the quality of the factory oil although probably more than a typical oil lab test, and that would be to draw out some oil from a new truck and send a sample to a lab that could do a more elaborate test of the oil. The issue with too little oil in the diff may not be the lack of lubrication of the diff bearings and gears themselves ( although a lack of oil volume for cooling ) but the wheel bearings because at some point the oil would be too low to properly get onto the spinning axle or fed along the axle tube. That was the claim by the local dealer from a couple of trucks in recent years that had the wheel bearings fail and they figured from lack of sufficient oil due to a severe underfilled diff and some of the bearing material made its way to the diff and it got damaged as well so the axle housings were just replaced on warranty. But your right that if the diff is over filled by whatever margin that it causes more churning of the oil than is desirable and that is no good either and can cause a pinion seal to leak. Also old oil I believe can tend to loose some of its properties like antifoaming and another good reason to change the diff oil every so often.

      I would be surprised if the diff's were not filled (with the cheapest gear lube) at the axle factory before being shipped to GM.  If you ever watched them building trucks they install the axles and all suspension parts with the frame upside down and then turn it over before its time to install the engine.     Too much gear lube in a axle can be worse than not enough especially with a lower quality GL where is get whipped up with entrained air (foam)  weakening its ability to lubricate.

      This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.
