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

All bets are off.  Sales manager did call 1 Mar and said my truck was "on a truck and on the way".  He expected delivery 3 Mar.  GMC chat claimed then (still claims as of today) " vehicle has been produced, shipped and is currently in transit but does not show its current location or an estimated delivery time".

Dealer just says they "don't have eyes on it".  Starting to sound like an error someplace.  I am barely more than 300 miles from factory.

Hard to actually believe no one knows where it is.  Maybe they should ship FedEx :).

Just talked to my salesman today and he said I am at 3300 and expected build date of 3/15. Should get it sometime in April. Hope there are good incentives. I doubt to 0% financing will be extended another month. About color, there are 2 blues, a darker blue and pacific blue. I agree the darker is like black but hoping the pacific blue is more like an electric blue they had in the past.

Been through this with Fords, Chevys, and Dodge.  The manufacture knows exatly where it is.  Its just their customer notification/update is terrible.   You would think in todays world they would have a system to track for the customer, would cut a lot of angst and save people time.

I will tell you the distance from the plant doesnt seem to matter,  seen guys before live with an hour and wait twice as long as guy that lives 2000 miles away.  Sometimes doesnt make sense, but have to realize,  there is a cue, and ordering a truck for trans is just as hard going one hour than 24.

OK, progress this afternoon after being 'lost' this morning.  Truck made it to the dealer.  I am picking it up in the morning.  Delivery driver told them his truck broke down twice on the way here from Michigan and that is why delivered today and not last Thurs. (Apparently was never going to be here last Wed.)

Still a happy camper.  Pic is one the salesman sent when he let me know it had been offloaded. :)

That will make it 11 wks and 1 day from ordering.  That includes the two weeks waiting for dealer allocation.

Wxman, thank you for walking us through your build from order to delivery, I know nothing is certain but it gives those of us waiting on orders some idea on how things are progressing at the plant, shipping, etc. Congratulations on the beautiful truck, is that the Cayenne Red Tintcoat? I almost pulled the trigger on a Silverado in the Cherry Red Tintcoat but I know how I use my trucks and opted for a lighter color.

 

As for my situation, I spoke with the salesman again and then the manager. The salesman told me that they received the allocation Thursday and that they aren't able to put the order in the system until they have allocation which I told him didn't sound right. He got the manager on the phone and he clarified that while they can enter them, they as a dealer have opted to wait until they have the allocation, enter the order and usually GM confirms allocation and everything and accepts the order and move to 2000 status within a week or so. Apparently over the last few months they have had multiple orders pulled while waiting for allocation, constraints, etc and just felt it was easier to handle/track by only entering the order once allocation was available. So according to the manager, they got the allocation Thursday, the order was entered Monday because the GM was out and I'm in that place between 1100 and 2000 where allocation is available and its just a matter of GM picking up the order. I will feel a lot better once I have a TPW.

If you have the order number (I think you mentioned earlier that you did), reach out to GMC or Chevy chat tomorrow (seems like the system gets updated on Thursdays) and ask for the current event code. 
 

My order moved to 3000 a week after going to 2000 and had a TPW when it went to 3000. I am planning on checking tomorrow to see if TPW of 3/22 has changed or not.

It is thursday, not sure if its 12am or some other eastern time zone time.  but I get updates around 1-2pm  eastern.  So worst case noon time you should be good.

Current event code is 3100 and still on target for week of 3/22.

Thanks.  So that kind of matches what I had ordered 27 FEB,  was told 3 May for TPW, so about two months between order to production, which places total weight time 10-12 weeks and thats what I was kind of told.

 

Only difference was my order dropped 27 FEB but was at 3000 on 4 MARCH or least that is when I was updated.  I should be updated today so we will see

I bugged my dealer today, and found out my truck is currently at 3000.  Though they never gave me the potential build date like some of you have been getting...

at 3000 you should have a TPW,  which is tenative.  The dealer should know it.  If anything get the order number and chat with GM on chat on their website

That's exactly what I did lol, thought the agent on the chat said they will have to email me once they get an update, which they said will take 24-48hrs...

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
