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.

Well finally picked it up after waiting two weeks at the dealer. More to follow later on my initial thoughts. Will create a separate thread

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.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By teamjnz · Posted

      Sounds like converting will be a bigger endeavor than I was thinking. This truck doesn't have 2Hi like the Suburban did. The Tahoe has 4Hi and 4Lo and a button to turn of traction control.   From what I understand the Stabilitrak uses open diff in the front and rear. When wheel speed is not the same the stabilitrak uses the ABS system to slowdown the spinning wheel(s) to transfer power to the slower non-spinning wheel(s). I thought the transfer case was open too. Being able to transfer power either more to front or rear depending on wheel spin. Maybe I miss understood some information with you saying and power transfer is 50-50. Thanks

      OCI, not when but why?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.
