LPO,  Assist steps - 4" Black - round, (dealer-installed)
 
They are shipped to the dealer so as to arrive just in time.  They do not come from the assembly plant and won' delay the vehicle build.
 
    A Limited Production Option (LPO) is a preordered option that includes a single accessory or a collection of accessories that are part of a special package.
Good to know thanks.

Well I decided to bug GM again to see if there was any movement...

 

Got the same answer I got a couple weeks back. Won't have a TPW for 3-4 weeks. 

 

I mean there is nothing I can do about it, except hurry up and wait some more... but it's been just about 2 full months since I placed my order...

That's rough...Unfortunately, patience is not one of my virtues.

Ordered 1/12/21

TPW - 4/5

 

12 weeks wait and probably won’t see until week 15 or 16 for delivery, but hopefully sooner since im just a few states away.

 

It’s been a LONG wait and I’m sure my sales guy is very fond of me no longer sending weekly emails seeing if anything changed.

I got news today that mine is at 3000 with an expected production week of 4/26.  How long does it usually take once it is in that production week?

When it hits your production week, it takes about 1.5-2 days from start to finish.

TPW only indicates possible week. 

It doesn't tell you whether it has a Monday slot or a Saturday slot...

After emailing my salesman yesterday morning and calling yesterday evening, I finally got a 4 word email back at closing time last night, “still at same status”. So I checked with GM chat this morning and called the dealership. Still at 1100 and GM didn’t pick the order up once again this week. I asked the dealer if the GM rep gave any indication why it wasn’t picked up when he apparently told them last week it would be this week. They said no, that we are just at the mercy of GM. I then asked if there is anything preventing it from moving forward as in something that needs to be addressed, they again assured me that there is not. I’m at a loss after 6 weeks and told the dealer I’m going to start pursuing other options. Am I missing something, is there things that need to happen between 1100 and 2000 or is it literally a lottery for production slots or something?

your just dealing with allocation,  need to find a dealer that has a solid allocation slot.  Yours does not evidently.  But move to another dealer you could wait another month to move.   Maybe keep your order in and keep an eye at other dealers and let them know what you want if something comes in.

Thanks nards, could you maybe help me understand, are you saying they don’t have allocation, or are you saying different dealers get stuff picked up quicker due to volume, etc? They swear they have the allocation.

If the order hasn’t been picked up, then they do not have an allocation or they are getting allocations and have other orders in front of yours. I would confirm allocations and ask what priority number you are. If you are 10th in line and they receive 1 allocation every couple weeks, you will be waiting a long time. 
 

Larger volume dealers receive more allocations than a smaller dealer and this is based on sales. I would definitely keep the order with the dealer you are using and start shopping around with other dealers.

I was told that I was first in line when I ordered in mid-February. They did not have allocations at the time but expected them soon. On March 8th they told me They had allocation and the order was entered but they were waiting for GM to pick it up. Here we are three weeks later, no change.I guess once we got past allocation I expected things to progress, so I’m frustrated and starting to think the dealer is jerking me around.

      The timing marks are ok, that is #1, you can turn it over until they line up and it won't change anything, the crankshaft turns twice for every camshaft revolution, I have always set up SB Chevs as your pic shows using a straight edge

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Someone's been here before.... There is a receipt for a 3-piece timing set, purchased earlier this year.   Is this picture something, or, nothing?   I have the timing cover off and my crank is perfectly TDC and the keyed gear's locating mark is dead on 12 o'clock.   The cam gear locating mark is also at 12 o'clock. Now, I'm not an expert, but all the install guides say the two locating marks should meet and be perfectly aligned when installing a timing set. The mark on the crank should be dead on 12:00 and the cam gear's mark should be dead on 6:00, and both marks should be perfectly vertically aligned.   I believe the timing gear is keyed or has a dowel that ensures it can only be installed on the cam in one position, so I have to believe the cam is out of phase somehow. At the very least, with a triangular bolt pattern, it can only be installed in one of 3 different positions.   Before I pulled the front cover, the truck was running alright, no service engine soon lights except an occasional P0172 / rich condition. Timing -16 timing at idle (should be +16), and total -35% fuel trim, two conditions I haven't been able to figure out.   In related news, my injector tested pretty well, wasn't leaking, but I had it rebuilt anyway, and it's on it's way back to me.         Along with this discovery, the good and bad:   Good: The oil pan seal appears undamaged.   Bad: -The timing cover has been reused, and the positioning dowels have been broken. That could explain some of the leaking. -Some kind of white paste or grease was used to try to seal the oil pan seal and timing cover (since wiped off..). -Then, someone globbed silicone all over the front of the cover and also buried the ckp sensor in it. But, they didn't put any inside the cover or use RTV to try to seal the oil pan seal with the timing cover (good).

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.

      It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.
