I placed an order Monday (2/8/21) for a well equipped AT4 3500 SRW standard box. 
 

So far my dealer has gotten allocations, but they are not for AT4 trim level for HD trucks, and that includes the allocation release today. 
 

Guess I’ll be waiting until next Thursday and hoping the order can be submitted to GM. 

Well, I have cancelled my original order and placed a new one at another dealer.  The new dealer has HD AT4 allocations.

 

New order placed on 2/15/21.  3500 AT4 SRW standard box.  All the same options as before with the addition of dual alternators.

 

Biggest change though was the switch from Pacific Blue Metallic to Cayenne Red Tintcoat.  The new dealer had a 2500 Denali in PBM.  I'm glad to have seen it because it left me unimpressed.  They had a 1500 Elevation and Denali Yukon in CRT.  It's a fantastic color.

 

Already sold my 2020 2500 AT4 in Dark Sky Metallic.  I'm truckless for at least the next 2-3 months.  ?

On 12/28 I ordered a 3500 diesel Z71 Sport LTZ in Hot Red, had been searching a 2000 radius for sports for weeks and only finding one.

Truck sat at 1100 till 2/11, went 2000, this week 2/17 went 3000 and tpw of 3/22.

Once it moves it moves.

I also wonder about dealers and the whole only order white/black trucks. Hot red is tough to find, especially well optioned.

Status 3300 with TPW of 22 Feb week of 1 Feb

It was status 3400 broadcast to production by Mon the 22nd and is 3800 produced today.  Was told waiting for inspection and no ship estimate as of yet.

Sold my 2006 Sierra VortecMax in the fall, been trying to figure out what would be a suitable replacement.

With every half ton now standard with cylinder shutoff, electric power steering, and other doodads I wanted no part of.. I pulled the trigger on a new 2500hd Chevy Silverado. It’s a 6,6 gasser WT with the Alaskan package and I ordered it with all the power/convenience packages, aux battery, few other things.

 

im I’m Thunder Bay , Ontario Canada. I ordered the truck on January 21 21, and it’s set for a build date of March 8, will be completed 6-8 weeks after that date.

 

will be worth the wait, I feel it’s a happy medium truck in the 3/4 ton truck segment.

Chatted with my dealer today, and they finally just got two allocations for AT4 HD's.  Both are were spoken for, for factory orders (mine being one of them).

 

Only snag, which others have touched on, is the high clearance step - which are back ordered, with no estimate on when they will be getting more.  I had two options, keep the truck spec'd as is, but swap out the high clearance steps for the power folding steps, OR remove the premium plus package in which the high clearance steps are a part of, then re-build the truck to have all the options from the package piece by piece.

 

End of the day, I decided to just opt for the power steps.  I've already been waiting close to a month just for an allocation, I figured screw it... and went for the 'upgraded' steps.

 

Only other fly in the ointment, is the computer chip shortage that seems to be plaguing not just vehicle manufactures, but anything else that requires these chips.  Although they did say that if they do not have the chips at the time when they get to building the truck (and whatever else is on the line) they will complete the build, then install said chip(s) once they get them.  

 

Fingers crossed it will only be another 6 weeks till I get to see her!

Dealer is expecting delivery this Wednesday, 3 Mar.  Must help to be within truck distance and not need rail.

Ordered a Silverado 2500 Duramax, Crew, Midnight Sport on 27 FEB.  Or went live I guess so Im guessing in the 1100 series.  Dealer had an allocation and he seemed somewhat confident in things and what he was talking about.  He quoted me at 8 weeks but said everything he has ordered is 2-3 weeks behind.  Supposed to get weekly updates and we will see if there is any constraints issues coming up.

 

Oddly enough I order most and around here our dealers are small town but would say they are average sized maybe little small, it seems through out the years through other constraints issues they have never had an issue.

Went to 3000 today with a TPW of 3 MAY. 

Interesting.... Looking at the earlier posts in this thread the trend has been that TPW is quoted at about a month out once you reach 3000. You are being quoted double that.

Yeah I dont know.  I thought I went to 3000 rarely quickly less than a week.  In the past looks like some sat at 1100 for a while then moved then got a 3000.  Difference maybe to is I didnt have some of the contraints issues like AT4s, and I had an actual real customer allocation not dealer.  Who knows. 

 

Also was told based on messaging that may slide up or down depending.  3000 indicates all parts are there for the build which is a good sign.  So maybe GM closing some other plants and their focus on trucks that number might get better.  Im ok with it,  I really dont want the truck till June anyways

You did get to 3000 quickly, there's no doubt about that. I for one am still at 1100 after 2 weeks and 3 allocation cycles. With that said, I have yet to see a TPW in April and it just makes me nervous that they are suddenly another month out. The closest example I can find is cdh7917 who ordered on 2/15, went to 3300 on 2/25 and a TPW of 3/29. Based on your order date I would have expected you to be somewhere in the first two weeks of April. I understand that you don't have the answer, I'm just making an observation as someone who is still at 1100 and was expecting my truck sometime in May.

      New to Me 2010 SLE (Quirks, Issues)

      By davester · Posted

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      New to Me 2010 SLE (Quirks, Issues)

      By fm2176 · Posted

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.

      I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou

      Is it an optical illusion in the pic or is the truck really squatting that much horribly?

      It's Been a Long Time...

      By fm2176 · Posted

      My initial introduction was here.  It's hard to believe that I last posted in February 2013, having just deployed to Kyrgyzstan.  Since then, I've retired from the military and the 2006 Sierra SLT Z71 that first brought me to these pages was lost.  I went forward to Afghanistan in March 2013 and did a lot of sitting behind a computer on brigade staff.  Within 18 months of getting back to the States, I was selected for Drill Sergeant duty, after which I moved back to Virginia (my home state and where I served from 2004-2008).  That '06 Sierra did a lot of driving between Louisiana, Georgia, and Virginia, and ended up with nearly 320k miles by 2022.  By then, the registration had been expired for a couple of years, but the pandemic had all but eliminated tickets for such transgressions.  Admittedly too, I usually drove my wife's SUV or son's car the 2-3 times a week I had to report to work.  Teleworking sure was fun while it lasted.   I started my retirement leave four years ago and stored the Sierra at my sister's house.  A big mess was made when her fiancé passed while she was taking care of business out-of-state in late-2024, and his son pretty much mismanaged everything to do with the estate.  Even so, I was assured that my truck was safe... until it wasn't.  I found out that my truck had been scrapped about four months after the son took over everything.  There's nothing I could do; I'm 1000 miles away and it was technically abandoned property since he'd even trespassed my sister from her own house (she had no claim to it as she wasn't married, and the fiancé was the sole owner).     Anyway, today I got my second Sierra.  This is a 2010 SLE 2WB CCSB with a little over 200k miles on it.  It's got the 5.3L I'm familiar with and should handle what I need it for.  Hauling stuff that won't fit in the Transit Connect (yep, I sold out, but that's the wife's vehicle) and towing a few times a year tops.  The price seemed decent, considering how much people sell their trucks for in the Deep South: $4500.  I've seen similar trucks listed for more than double that.  I got it from a coworker who left his tag on until we transfer the title next week (Louisiana requires a notary for transfers), so I've been driving it all day.  The rear speakers don't work, which is one of the things that brought me back to these forums earlier.  I can't say how active I'll be as a poster, but I'll be scouring the archives while I find out every little thing I can about the 2010s and particular nuances/problems with my truck.   It's definitely not a GMC, but I got another Willys Jeep a few months back as well, so I'm almost at the same place I was when I first joined gm-trucks.com.  My old 1960 DJ3A was sold back around 2010 or 2011; my current Jeep is a 1946 CJ2A.  So, I've got a slightly newer GMC and a much older Jeep.  I kind of wish I still had that F-250 I had way back when too.  The Dakota is long gone and was technically my brother's truck, though I had it registered and insured.  The F-250 had to go when my grandmother's house was foreclosed on due to mismanagement around 2012 or so.     Hopefully anyone that made it this far isn't too annoyed.  I tend to be long-winded, but I'll be doing more reading than posting in the coming months.
