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?

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. 

it was supposed to be delivered yesterday

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.

Guess you slipped in under the cut off. I do wish I would have too. Pics when she arrives please.

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.

    • Has anyone run these on their 2500?
    • have you stuck with dealer oil changes since then? I made the same switch after getting tired of crawling around under the truck, but I’ve found some dealers are way better than others about getting you in quickly. Curious if yours has been good about scheduling or if you’ve had to look elsewhere for quicker turnaround.
    • Thank you.   I am set on a 3.0 Duramax as my previous truck with a Ford Ecoboost had just as many, if not more, "common" issues.  Cam phasers, timing chain issues, 10-speed valve body and CDF drum, emissions issues, etc.  So I figured, why not get 2x the fuel mileage (these things got 27+mpg on every mixed city/highway test drive I put them through) and better towing capability with resale value to boot?   My minimum, shortest trip will be 50 miles 1-way and I regularly go out of state with a travel trailer.  I'm planning on using this for a marketing/event promotion business also, which would require regular towing of trailers for bands, DJs, sound and lighting gear, along with my personal camera gear for filming events.   Looked at other trucks in the $30k+ price range but the issues seem to be everywhere, plus too many with gaudy mods.  I'm literally sticking with RWD trucks because they tend to be actually used as trucks, vs. the 4x4 models I've seen with unsafe lifts, huge tires, and general mods that would affect reliability (I'm wondering if some of them were tuned, hence the aggressive throttle response and hard shifting).   So my goal is to find a stock, 3.0 with 1 or 2 owners, in good physical condition, and decently well maintained.  Can't seem to find that up here, everything in the $27-30k range has had multiple owners, smoke smell, issues, or body damage.  Or the ridiculously modified trucks with 80k miles for under $27k but lots of problems...
    • That’s pretty tough Grumpy. I reread the previous few posts. They all reference oil changes. Much like your last thread. In my humble opinion it keeps things interesting.
    • Engine Wear and ISO 4406   1.) Cold Starts. 2.) High Particle Count. 3.) Low operating temperature viscosity and high low temperature cranking viscosity. 4.) Depleted AW, Friction and Acid packages.  5.) High engine load.    https://me.caltexlubricants.com/en_me/home/learning/from-chevron/heavy-duty-diesel-vehicles-and-equipment/The-Importance-of-Clean-Engine-Oil-and-Its-Impact-on-Equipment-and-Business-Performance.html   High particle counts have five sources. 1.) They are manufactured within the engine. Both wear debris and amalgamation of degradation products and combustion driven soot (worse in GDI). 2.) They are ingested via intake air. Ever hear the best oil filter is a good air filter? 3.) They are entrained in the fuel. 4.) This one is insidious. They are introduced in 'fresh oil'. 5.) They are introduced during the oil change.   ISO 4406 is the test that measures and quantifies the combine effects of all of the above particle related issues. You can mitigate your way into multiples of engine life by being attentive to them all.    https://www.hyprofiltration.com/blog/is-new-oil-clean   (from the link above)    [Quote] What Is the Recommended ISO 4406 Cleanliness Code for New Oil?   A good upper limit for new oil cleanliness is 16/14/11 (ISO 4406). Typical new oil usually has ISO codes of 19/17/15 or worse, which is far too dirty for sensitive components. This can be a major cause of degradation and premature failure.
