I have a build date of October 12 for my 2021 3500 HD. Does anyone have any insight as to the normal time from build to delivery (to my Pennsylvania dealer)? Just trying to anticipate whether I’ll get in under the October incentives or be waiting to see where they go in November?

For my 2020,  build date was week of August 10th and it arrived at the United Road Services (Twin Oaks yard)  just below Phila last week of August. My dealer went down and fetched it since it wasn't that far and I had it for Friday August the 28th. Really enjoying it so far.

TrailBoss1 When did you orders your 2021 3500?

 

I ordered a 2021 3500 but haven’t been given a build date yet. I am hoping it arrives while the incentive is still good.

From build to delivery takes about 2-4 weeks depending on logistics.  I read someone said their dealer went to the rail yard and got the vehicle but I highly doubt that happened.  That would be breaking a contract with the shippers but cutting out the trucking company and teamsters union contract with GM.

My build a 3500 crew ltz duramax was given a build week of the 28th of September and was built on the 30th first day of 21 production then was pulled for quality control hopefully this process doesn't take to long and they ship out quickly to the NY drop yard bound to Ct. just waiting for it to arrive at this point. Does anybody know how long quality control takes?

Hey,

kind of off topic but what made you guys decide to build your truck opposed to choosing one off the lot?  Didn’t have what you wanted and this way you get exactly what you want?  When you build a truck, you are paying full price unless there are some incentives? A truck n the lot you should be able to negotiate some. 

 

Thanks for for the replies. Always wondered.

There’s simply no inventory on lots right now. Buying off the lot wasn’t an option since there was nothing close to what I wanted nearby and dealers aren’t willing do dealer trades if they have any inventory. I’ve dealt with the same family dealership for years and haven’t found any difference in pricing between order and purchase from inventory.

 

Dealers do have rolling incentives they can place on vehicles of their choice if they have a vehicle that’s been sitting for a while; but, can also use it as an incentive for repeat buyers.

Understood. Never dealt with it before. Hopefully one day I can order a truck of my choosing. Enjoy your truck! Thanks for the info.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
