I ordered a new 2500 high country Duramax  last March.  Then COVID hit and it was never built so the order was switched to a 2021.  Finally it was built on 10/10 but it still hasn’t arrived at the Connecticut dealership.  It arrived last week at the Doremus stockyard and there it sits.  This seems totally ridiculous to me.  How can gm ship like this and feel they are treating their customers properly?  Anyone else have an experience like this?  I’ve purchased 6 cars and trucks from this dealership and it has always been top notch.  This is dumb COVID or not.  I’m at 7 weeks and counting since it was built.

railroad is so far behind shipping vehicles and due to the logistics of railroad shipping they are at the mercy of the railroad. my dealership is waiting for aprox 50-60 units that have been built weeks ago and no word on when they will arrive

It might be an issue with the transfer points in your area, but even GM can't fix the railroad.

From what the transporter told the dealer it should arrive this Friday.  I hope that is the case.  The dealer is waiting for a bunch of cars.  It has to be rough on them to stay in business with delays as long as these.

GM (and the dealer) has NO CONTROL over interstate commerce.   They do not use first in first out, they have to build a load the includes your dealer in its route.  If its still at the distribution center its usually means there is not enough to have a full load to your dealers destination or there are not enough drivers.   The truck won't dispatch without a full load.  The shipping company has complete control of that vehicle till the dealer signs off at delivery. 

 

Take the bs the dealer tells you with a grain of salt, its unlikely the dealer ever talked with the transporter.

Well still no truck.  I have to believe there is a max delay contracted by gm with the transporters otherwise they could keep a car or truck indefinitely.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
