I think the time line depends alot on what exactly is ordered. I ordered my 2500 crew cab LT gas in mid April(during the shutdown).  It arrived at the dealer mid July. I was surprised by how quick all things considered 

I ordered the same truck. Hopefully I'll see it in early September. Plus for '21 MY they deleted Shadow Grey color I ordered.

Looks like you upgraded from a 1500 too?

Well I don’t see how they put in an order for you. The order deadline for MY 2020 was back in May. So they could only put in a order for a 2021. Unfortunately the production start up for MY 2021 is se

Good color choice. Yes I upgraded from a 1500, looking forward to the towing abilities compared to the old truck.

Well for anyone interested, got an e-mail the other day from the dealer. My order got kicked back due to, too many orders and not enough 2020 parts. So no order for me.

I guess they'll be switching over to '21MY soon.  Mine is supposedly being built this week.

I've got a 2020 2500 Custom (dealer stock) coming w/ my name on it and I got a text from my salesman saying it was built yesterday.  I hoping to see it sometime in mid September.  I'm guessing it would be one of the last 2020's built?

is there anyway to track a vehicle by using the VIN? i would like to see if there is any movement on it

the truck I have a deposit on it sitting in Salt Lake City at the train yard. It is waiting for a truck to bring it to the dealer 8 hours away.

Nope, I was told they stopped doing the tracking. Both while on the line and while in transit. Which in the world we live in today that dont make any sense.

i stopped at the dealer yesterday. they checked. it is still in salt lake, and awaiting truck transport. 

they said they were going to tag it "hot" which may or may not mean anything.

my truck is officially sold to my brother in law, so I need the new one to arrive

Great to hear you found one since your order didn't go through. 
My salesman says mine is now on a rail car heading to an area distribution center, so hopefully I see it soon.

Finally took delivery of on Friday. Dealer drove it to dealership from rail distribution yard about 50 miles away so I could have it for the weekend. I posted a few pics on the picture page.

You got the color matched wheel fenders! I do too. They look SSSSOOOOO good in white. Sets the truck apart from the 99% that have black fenders.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      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.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      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.
