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 :).

I ordered my Silverado 3500 LT SRW, Duramax, Z71 Sport, Conv 1 and 2, and 5th wheel prep on Oct 16. Truck was delivered last Friday and I should be in it tomorrow. Not the slowest, but it did seem the

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...

      Vehicle Payments

      By KARNUT · Posted

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
