Just got word from dealer today that mine Denali HD built last week is on the way to them and Ill have by the end of week.  Looks like they are moving  the trucks faster then I thought. 

Built last week and have this week?  Don't hold your breathe :(

They called today and sent a pic of the truck in the lot its ready for pickup on Friday from them.  I am shocked how was fast it arrived and came from plant to dealer after being built last week.

Maybe they mean, built 6 months ago and Saturn until they got a chip in it last week and only now consider it built.  😉

Nope this truck was built the week of Oct 11.  As i was told when it was ordered Denali's were getting top priority, AT4's were pushed back and limited big time.  They want all the high margin trucks built.

I ordered a Silverado 3500 DRW LTZ Duramax a month ago and was quoted 6-8 months for delivery.

 

As far as I know it's still in pre-ordered status.

Just inquired with Chevy. They said it's now in status 2030 (Order edited by Chevrolet) but no TPW yet. Not sure what would have been edited.

 

Any ideas on how much closer this is to production?

Well, the latest is I'm back to 1100 status. I've read elsewhere that the chat feature was unreliable. Does that mean this update was wrong or the previous update was wrong. I'm guessing the latter.

 

Emailing my dealer gets zero response.

They can't get any chips, but all they want to build is the fancy trucks that need chips......

 

Sounds like instead of waiting to sell one fancy truck they could have sold 2 or 3 basic trucks.

 

All I want is a WT but it sounds like from these threads I'll be waiting a year or two so they can cram out the $80k super trucks missing content that makes them the super trucks.

Just put an order in last night for a Cayenne Red 2022 Sierra Crew Cab/Std-Bed Gas SLE. Convenience, Off Road, Preferred (mostly for trailer apps) and a few other options. Unfortunately just saw the news that I probably wont get heated seats / wheel, so fingers crossed they leave the elements/button in place so that they can be updated at a future date.

Dealer estimates mid-Jan delivery based on current HD timelines.

I ordered my DRW LTZ in September and paid my $1,000 non-refundable deposit.

 

If they deliver a vehicle different from the one I ordered (without heated seats/steering wheel), or I find another one elsewhere, should I get my deposit back?

I'm in talks right now trying to get a Greenwood Metallic 2022 Silverado Crew Cab/Std-Bed Gas WT in. Convenience, Safety Confidence (for the 4.2" DIC screen), power fold mirrors, cab lights, brake controller and 18s as only options. Mid January would be cool but I've been telling people who ask that I would not be surprised to hear 6-8 months with all the craziness going on.

 

Basic trucks like ours are probably getting shelved for High Country and Denali/AT4s. Although, I could see them pushing ours out since they are quick and basic and need less chips. I dunno.

 

I'm half expecting to be told the power fold mirrors/cab lights/brake controller/4.2" screen, basically all the things I selected will be restricted and un-orderable because of chips if not the Green paint.

 

Time till tell. Good luck.

I would try. Anything not on the list is a deal breaker for me. I've bought a million vehicles but never a custom order. This one is special to me. Deliver it as spec'd or let me know when it's available to be had as spec'd. Otherwise I'll just wait for a rando lot truck.

 

I haven't seen anywhere that these trucks will be getting a package credit like the cheesy -$50.00 the non DFM or Stop/Start 1500s are getting. -$50 credit would be a slap in the face anyway to lose heated seats/wheel knowing they added way more to the package when they priced them in originally but at least they should be telling you about a credit or something.

In another thread, it said $500 credit for the heated/cooled seats and $150 credit for heated steering. I'm looking at another in transit right now but a different dealer. They're expecting it in late November- early December. I'd rather get that one which has the heated options, albeit not the color I want, than wait for mine. I just don't want to lose the deposit I already paid.

Looks like according to this heated wheel still might be on your menu:

    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
