Based on my understanding they don't hit the gmc inventory site till they are built and ready to ship. It just takes a while to ship sometimes depending on your location. A 2021 2500 AT4 popped up at our local GMC dealers website and my brother put a deposit on it the next day and he and the dealer didn't know when it would show up. It was unexpectedly delivered a week later to his surprise. Cross your fingers!

Got word from my dealer that my truck arrived on the lot the other day! 

 

Figures, as I've been working out of town for a few weeks now, but have planned a trip home this weekend to take delivery.

 

The wife even cruised down to the dealer to snap a few pics for me - can't wait!

The way things are going , watching the market and the news.  I dont see much changing in the next six months possibly more.  If you want something you almost take what you can get.

That is the way I looked at it as well. I was trying to find a white or blue AT4 with the gas engine but didn't have much luck. I found a 2021 High County Silverado HD a couple hours away and jumped on it. I have always been a GMC guy but this High Country front end is really growing on me.

I placed my order for a GMC 2500 Sierra, 4X4 Regular cab long bed 13 weeks ago. GMC has Yet to accept my order..

"Order has been submitted by your dealer but has not officially been accepted by GM at this time".. Guess GM does not want my money.

They have more orders than they can deliver......

Friend is a die-hard RAM guy and its the same thing with them, he wants a 2021 Ram Ecodiesel and the dealers tell him, impossible to predict when they will accept the order.  Not only is the OEM constrained, their suppliers are constrained at being able to supply the demand.  It seems the big problem a lot of companies are have it getting qualified people to work.  My nephew works in production for a big CNC parts supplier (mostly to powersports industry), says they have jobs up the ying-yang but no one looking.  Todays generation don't want to work, they want free gov't money.

I just signed the docs last week on a 21 Sierra 1500 Elev Duramax. The dealer had super low inventory and fortunately they had one I like fresh off the line in Mexico. I found out today its sitting in Port Hueneme but the Event Code is 6000? Doesnt that mean delivered to customer? Anyone know how long it takes these days to get from Port to the dealer in Cali?

Anybody aware how employee orders are received?  Do they come out of dealer allocation?

Your truck looks great as that was the exact setup I was looking for but very hard to find. I ended up taking what I could get for now but happy with the package.

Anybody aware how employee orders are received?  My order status is still showing that it is not picked up by GM, that’s it’s waiting allocation.  However my dealer says it doesn’t come out of their allocation, and it should be pulled in shortly into production.  
 Does that even make sense?  Thanks 

NO, its BS.

I checked with a friend who knows and he says, yes needs allocation. Process is same as every other vehicle. No preference for employee orders, only on delivered price.

I got tired of waiting and hearing all these stories.  Wanted an AT4 with tech pkg.  Found a 3500 Denali Ultimate priced the same as my AT4.  Considering they are the same exact vehicle except for the seats, the exterior color being specific to the Denali trim, and the sunroof I pulled the trigger.  700 miles later I had my truck back home.

On a side note does anyone know why my picture flipped upside down.  It is upright in my camera roll and when uploaded it flips.  I flipped the image and saved it that way tried to upload it and it is still flipped on the website.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There would be one way of determining the quality of the factory oil although probably more than a typical oil lab test, and that would be to draw out some oil from a new truck and send a sample to a lab that could do a more elaborate test of the oil. The issue with too little oil in the diff may not be the lack of lubrication of the diff bearings and gears themselves ( although a lack of oil volume for cooling ) but the wheel bearings because at some point the oil would be too low to properly get onto the spinning axle or fed along the axle tube. That was the claim by the local dealer from a couple of trucks in recent years that had the wheel bearings fail and they figured from lack of sufficient oil due to a severe underfilled diff and some of the bearing material made its way to the diff and it got damaged as well so the axle housings were just replaced on warranty. But your right that if the diff is over filled by whatever margin that it causes more churning of the oil than is desirable and that is no good either and can cause a pinion seal to leak. Also old oil I believe can tend to loose some of its properties like antifoaming and another good reason to change the diff oil every so often.

      I would be surprised if the diff's were not filled (with the cheapest gear lube) at the axle factory before being shipped to GM.  If you ever watched them building trucks they install the axles and all suspension parts with the frame upside down and then turn it over before its time to install the engine.     Too much gear lube in a axle can be worse than not enough especially with a lower quality GL where is get whipped up with entrained air (foam)  weakening its ability to lubricate.

      This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.
