Does anyone have any insight into the lead time to have a new Tahoe built?  I ordered one 2 weeks ago and the dealer could not commit to a delivery date?

Interested to know this as well, since it seems the dealer lots are really sparse with new SUVs right now. I'm probably going to have to order what I'm wanting, since I'm not finding it spec'd out much online anywhere with existing production.

Depends on what model and options you want, and your dealer's allocation.

 

For example - I ordered a Suburban High Country with the Duramax and High Country Deluxe package on 12/9. It is still sitting in 1100 today.

 

Diesels were on a 10% max production constraint through December (may have been extended - cannot find info on that). This week, GM put the Air Suspension and NHT Max Tow packages on constraint. Basically they are not building anything with those options at the moment and your order will sit. 

 

On top of that, in the case of my individual dealer - they did not get any Suburbans allocated for the month of January. Even though I have a sold order at the top of their stack, GM would not give them a Suburban last month. Supposedly whatever the first Suburban allocation they get for February will get assigned to my build. Now that they constrained it, who the hell knows.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm wanting one with the air suspension. Dang.

I tried to order one in October. GM never took the order. December came still not accepted. We found one on the lot that was 90% of what we wanted.   Now I have the stuff that we wanted on order and its constrained. we have the suburban just cant get the wheels we want. I ordered wheels in December and have no end in site yet.  It was jan then feb. Now they hope for end of april.

A friend at GM fleet told me they had 75,000 orders pending after Christmas. Between that, and the “chip shortage” I don’t believe they are accepting any orders for 2021 at this time. Apparently some vehicles have been built and sitting waiting for chips to become available.

My wife wanted a Tahoe or Suburban. Two weeks ago our dealer had 3 of each. Last week when she decided to buy, only one left. A white RST with luxury package. She wanted a sunroof but decided it wasn’t worth waiting and bought it that day.

Nice Tahoe! 
 

This is why I called off buying a Tahoe Z71 or AT4 Yukon. Almost all the models dealers had did not have the packages I wanted, and I kept horror hearing stories about order waitlists. I decided I’d just wait until later this year. Especially since no one was dealing on them with such short supply.

      Video processing module location

      By twgraham · Posted

      Can someone tell me where the video processing module is in a 2023 Silverado? I'm getting conflicting results that it's in the front passenger area or the rear passenger area behind the seat.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes I agree, its what amounts to free advertising to let people know about his UOA testing company, and not that there is anything wrong with that but certainly that is a motivator for putting out videos about the science of oil as well as other topics such as oil and air filtration etc. The interesting part I found with his last video is not only the physics behind the reason for the varying wear due to a diesels working torque range causing more bearing load and that higher viscosity oil is of benefit, it was also that the chemistry behind the GM Dexos 0W-20 and the Mobil Dexos licensed 0W-20 are far enough apart that its showing up with a difference in wear even though the two oils are matched in viscosity and in that comparison viscosity was not having the finger pointed at it.    There are a few youtubers out there or one anyway that I have watched a bit of who has gone through the pains of accessing various countries manuals for a certain engine platform and while in the US/Canada it may say use 0W-20 or what have you for some Toyota product, in some other countries it sings a very different tune for the very same engine with the typical traditional oil viscosity/ambient temperature charts to help choose which oil viscosity is correct for the conditions the vehicle will be used in and in some cases its taken an engine in a US manual that states only use 0W-20 as per warranty coverage and yet that same engine in certain other countries may have up to a 15W-40 etc oil option that meets the spec. Another words the guy who is driving through Death Valley or Phoenix and south weather at 120f is often being fed a line of bs by the US system that has forced vehicle companies to restrict the warranty to a specific low viscosity oil for anterior reasons as well as the long drain interval suggestions.    Thankfully youtube is free ( yet anyway ) for viewers to sift through information and of course comes with the good and the bad ( truth and lies ) and we can choose to turn off/not watch what a person finds is bs or just not interested in the topic.

      No doubt... But, as someone who doesn't pay for his services, but who has provided a few views/clicks on his Youtube platform, the data around the Mobil oil testing I think does have some value including to "freeloaders" like me.   A lot of what he's doing is likely showing the OE's work in their oil selection, something that many of us had kind of assumed was true all along, a good balance of both excellent protection and efficiency.

      Lake Speed is drumming up business for his company just by being in the spot-light so he has a vested interest in stoking the 0W-20 fire.  IMO

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      I knew when I bought my truck that it had off road hill decent or craw control or whatever they call it and rolled my eyes at that but it gets throw on with other options my truck has, I just never had a heads up if the highway speed regular cruise setting had anything to do with the brakes and that took me by surprise. If you've ever been to the top of Pikes Peak and watched those ahead of you on the way down with their brake lights on constantly, one can guess they are probably not gearing down or not enough anyway if their vehicle will allow and a good reason their is a brake check spot part way down where they use an infra red heat gun to check how hot ones brakes are front and rear.    Your right that once one gets out of the front range by Denver and I've not been on that stretch of 285 between Denver and Fairplay myself but I know its high and Fairplay at 10000 feet, Buena Vista at 8000, it drops a bit from there but then your going back up and over the 11000 pass and Durango is at 6500 . So yes your definitely right that 6500 and a lot higher is the theme of going anywhere out in that direction from Denver but hey, the down hill sections give fantastic fuel mileage !.    I don't even look at the fuel pumps for what premium costs here, since I live on a farm and up to this point get fuel delivered I am rarely in front of a fuel pump and when I am, I am often using card lock bulk fuel stations so it tells me what the price is AFTER I buy the fuel. Looking up on gas buddy and converting to US gallons but in Canadian dollars, regular on average of the prices listed was around 5.95 and premium is around 7.00 . That was one reason I did not go for the 6.2 half ton aside from its lack of carrying/towing if one was going by the rule of using premium fuel and until recently one could only buy regular farm gas if playing the few cents off game for farm dyed fuel for a "farm licensed pickup". But yes I hear you on the fuel price difference and like the diesel theme with it often being more expensive then gas it doesn't have quite the charm to it either as it once did although right now here for some reason the price of diesel has come down more so its now inline with the price of regular gas.
