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:

    • Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir. 
    • I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.
    • I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed. 
    • Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day. 
    • Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?
