The rumor mill says mine is on the truck to the dealer at this moment. 263### VIN original TPW 3/16.

 

Sounds like they have 12 HD trucks in route to my dealer.

Anyone who ordered a 2020 is not likely to see it anytime soon.  If things hold true like the strike, the TPW will NOT change and they will try to catch up so you will not know if the order gets built

Just announced a limited restart on May 18 at Flint if everything goes as planned.     #iworkforGM

We've made progress on a 3/16 truck. After the back and forth since March, being built, then not built, then built, then not built, I have finally been built 2 times in a row. I think it might be true

Dealer called me Friday the 19th and is out for delivery. Got a call from the dealership on July 3rd and said it arrived at the dealership. I’ll pick it up Monday the 6th of July. I’ll add a photo to the photo thread. It’s a 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 4WD Crew Cab AT4.

All the GM 2500HD trucks come from the Flint Plant.

The rumor that mine was on a truck turned out to be incorrect, still waiting for it to appear. A VIN a few hundred higher than mine did show up so it must be close.

And are stickered in the door jam, as such.

Thank you for a nice truck, Flint. If I would've read the 1500 trouble threads before shopping, I could've been driving a ram right now. No problems here, yet.

You are very lucky. I too had the original TPW of 3/16 with a build date of 6/5. My truck has been sitting in Twin Oaks, PA for almost 2 weeks. No ETA yet. So close.

Don't put too much stock in what they tell you, mine went from shipped to sitting in Flint, to on a train to LA, then to KY and all kinds of other stories. Then it randomly showed up yesterday. 

 

GM could stand to update their vehicle tracking system for orders and bring it into modern time. I'm just glad it's over and the dealer is now doing their process to get it ready for pickup.

Last three are 073. Don't think I will get any sleep tonight. Like a kid on Christmas. 

You'll sleep.  It's just a truck.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.

      2024 Sierra Vibration - Need advice

      By 24trailboss · Posted

      Typically it is the Torque Converter, I have a 2.7L Trail Boss and between 25-65 MPH at 1300-1500 rpms under light throttle it has a shudder which I almost consider and bobble or a gargle sound. They replaced my TC but it did not help any, others say it has fixed their issues. It has been back twice now with no fix after.
