I placed an order Monday (2/8/21) for a well equipped AT4 3500 SRW standard box. 
 

So far my dealer has gotten allocations, but they are not for AT4 trim level for HD trucks, and that includes the allocation release today. 
 

Guess I’ll be waiting until next Thursday and hoping the order can be submitted to GM. 

Well, I have cancelled my original order and placed a new one at another dealer.  The new dealer has HD AT4 allocations.

 

New order placed on 2/15/21.  3500 AT4 SRW standard box.  All the same options as before with the addition of dual alternators.

 

Biggest change though was the switch from Pacific Blue Metallic to Cayenne Red Tintcoat.  The new dealer had a 2500 Denali in PBM.  I'm glad to have seen it because it left me unimpressed.  They had a 1500 Elevation and Denali Yukon in CRT.  It's a fantastic color.

 

Already sold my 2020 2500 AT4 in Dark Sky Metallic.  I'm truckless for at least the next 2-3 months.  ?

On 12/28 I ordered a 3500 diesel Z71 Sport LTZ in Hot Red, had been searching a 2000 radius for sports for weeks and only finding one.

Truck sat at 1100 till 2/11, went 2000, this week 2/17 went 3000 and tpw of 3/22.

Once it moves it moves.

I also wonder about dealers and the whole only order white/black trucks. Hot red is tough to find, especially well optioned.

Another update. 

Order completed with dealer 22 Dec.  They told me they wouldn't have allocation for my order until week of 11 Jan.

I went to status 3000 accepted by production control week of 22 Jan

Status 3300 with TPW of 22 Feb week of 1 Feb

It was status 3400 broadcast to production by Mon the 22nd and is 3800 produced today.  Was told waiting for inspection and no ship estimate as of yet.

Sold my 2006 Sierra VortecMax in the fall, been trying to figure out what would be a suitable replacement.

With every half ton now standard with cylinder shutoff, electric power steering, and other doodads I wanted no part of.. I pulled the trigger on a new 2500hd Chevy Silverado. It’s a 6,6 gasser WT with the Alaskan package and I ordered it with all the power/convenience packages, aux battery, few other things.

 

im I’m Thunder Bay , Ontario Canada. I ordered the truck on January 21 21, and it’s set for a build date of March 8, will be completed 6-8 weeks after that date.

 

will be worth the wait, I feel it’s a happy medium truck in the 3/4 ton truck segment.

Chatted with my dealer today, and they finally just got two allocations for AT4 HD's.  Both are were spoken for, for factory orders (mine being one of them).

 

Only snag, which others have touched on, is the high clearance step - which are back ordered, with no estimate on when they will be getting more.  I had two options, keep the truck spec'd as is, but swap out the high clearance steps for the power folding steps, OR remove the premium plus package in which the high clearance steps are a part of, then re-build the truck to have all the options from the package piece by piece.

 

End of the day, I decided to just opt for the power steps.  I've already been waiting close to a month just for an allocation, I figured screw it... and went for the 'upgraded' steps.

 

Only other fly in the ointment, is the computer chip shortage that seems to be plaguing not just vehicle manufactures, but anything else that requires these chips.  Although they did say that if they do not have the chips at the time when they get to building the truck (and whatever else is on the line) they will complete the build, then install said chip(s) once they get them.  

 

Fingers crossed it will only be another 6 weeks till I get to see her!

I orderd mine on Jan 30th. 3500AT4 PBM gasser. Just got update that the build date is 3/18. How are you guys getting the codes to know where you are in the system? From dealer?

Dealer is expecting delivery this Wednesday, 3 Mar.  Must help to be within truck distance and not need rail.

Ordered a Silverado 2500 Duramax, Crew, Midnight Sport on 27 FEB.  Or went live I guess so Im guessing in the 1100 series.  Dealer had an allocation and he seemed somewhat confident in things and what he was talking about.  He quoted me at 8 weeks but said everything he has ordered is 2-3 weeks behind.  Supposed to get weekly updates and we will see if there is any constraints issues coming up.

 

Oddly enough I order most and around here our dealers are small town but would say they are average sized maybe little small, it seems through out the years through other constraints issues they have never had an issue.

Went to 3000 today with a TPW of 3 MAY. 

Interesting.... Looking at the earlier posts in this thread the trend has been that TPW is quoted at about a month out once you reach 3000. You are being quoted double that.

Yeah I dont know.  I thought I went to 3000 rarely quickly less than a week.  In the past looks like some sat at 1100 for a while then moved then got a 3000.  Difference maybe to is I didnt have some of the contraints issues like AT4s, and I had an actual real customer allocation not dealer.  Who knows. 

 

Also was told based on messaging that may slide up or down depending.  3000 indicates all parts are there for the build which is a good sign.  So maybe GM closing some other plants and their focus on trucks that number might get better.  Im ok with it,  I really dont want the truck till June anyways

You did get to 3000 quickly, there's no doubt about that. I for one am still at 1100 after 2 weeks and 3 allocation cycles. With that said, I have yet to see a TPW in April and it just makes me nervous that they are suddenly another month out. The closest example I can find is cdh7917 who ordered on 2/15, went to 3300 on 2/25 and a TPW of 3/29. Based on your order date I would have expected you to be somewhere in the first two weeks of April. I understand that you don't have the answer, I'm just making an observation as someone who is still at 1100 and was expecting my truck sometime in May.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far.

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install.

      Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.
