Well, I ordered it.  I am trading my 2019 Sierra HD for a 2021.  I always order them up exactly the same but this one .. due to unavailability of parts???  is going to be short on some things.  I could have upgraded to the SLT but I am trying to get this one actually paid for, so . .went SLE again.  I was given a pretty long list of the things i WON"T be getting on this truck because of some chip they can't get??  But, really, all but two of those options must be new to 2021 as I don't have them on my 19 anyway.  So . .while I feel like a massive purchase like this SHOULD have all of those things .. I can't really miss what I've never had, right??  The 2 things I WILL miss--sirius XM radio, and the power sliding rear window.  Love them.  APparently can't have them.   Although, if I went with the SLT sounds like I could--which makes not a lot of sense to me.  If they can still do it with the higher end truck, why doesn't GM reconfigure things so that the other trucks get those options?  Why is it always these stupid packages?  I almost didn't order but . .. other factors involved.  Anyway--also just noticed that the bucket seats aren't an option anymore for the SLE---seriously, GM???  Geez.  I always get the buckets.  Oh, well.

I ordered white again and since I have dogs and black interiors just suck for hair . .I went with the walnut/slate interior.  Man, I hope it's not ugly.  Haven't seen it in person, but  . .brown?  hmmmmm

Still no power folding mirrors, either, at least not on this truck.  Seriously.  for 70 grand??  GM is way behind.

Maybe they'll magically get whatever it is they need to build it the way I wanted it . .but sounds like we're looking at something like 2022 before they do. If I didn't agree to it this way, it was not likely to be built. Has anyone else run into this? 

Oh, and, does anyone know if it's taller?  I never asked but I heard it's 4 inches longer . .I hope it's not any taller, lol.

I ordered mine 10 days ago, still waiting to hear if my dealer got an allocation and if the order has been accepted by GM. I cancelled a 1500 order that I made 10/30/20 that still had not been accepted and switched to a 3500 since we decided to get a Lance Truck Camper now(had too orde that too) so good luck I hope your order goes smoothly!

 

What couldn't you get for the missing chip?

I'm running into the same issue with ordering an LT with leather package. The leather package is unavailable for order since it requires the Convenience II package which seems to have all of the same features as the GMC SLE Preferred Package, which judging by the options you listed is the package that you weren't able to order (although it allows you build it that way online and the order guides don't say it's not available). In either case, do you know anymore about this chip that they can't get and if its truly something that won't be fixed prior to 2022? From what the order guides say, the issue seems to be with the Advanced Trailering/ Pro-grade Trailering systems. The reality is that I could honestly care less about the features of the trailering system or the convenience II package but GM requires them to get leather seats in the LT. It looks like I may need to order a base LTZ/SLT if I want leather seats and to not pay $10k more.

Speaking from direct experience in another industry about this global chip shortage... it's impacting everything, PCs, phones, consumer electronics, automotive, everything.  I think it will be mid-summer before chip supply normalizes.  Then another month or so for tier 1-2 suppliers to build top level components/assemblies and ship to vehicle manufacturers.

I too started with an SLE, but couldn’t get everything I wanted so bumped up to and SLT. Price difference was about 3k before rebates +TTL. Just couldn’t say no to a 8300$ discount off MSRP of 71650 + rebates at time of delivery (if it ever gets here) :(

Just curious how you got to the $8300 discount? Straight dealer discount or some GM discount program? Thanks.

I qualify for GM Supplier Pricing, but no haggling involved to get there. 71650 MSRP with sale price 63000.46 + TTL (actually was 8600~$, had to look again). I even asked twice after signing a few days later to confirm it was based on GM Supplier pricing as I was concerned it was some other program they did on accident, but they said it was. It is my local dealer in WI. They were right on point with Laura Buick GMC pricing and did good by me with my trade value as well, even though we haggled on that a little to get them up another $1,000.

Thanks, I too qualify for Supplier Pricing but I have been seeing discounts before rebates around $4-5K for the trucks I'm looking at with a gas engine and an MSRP around $60000-$64000. I'm guessing the big driver is the difference in MSRP and maybe a diesel engine? I did find one with a $7k discount before rebates but it ended up being sold, and if I try to build the exact truck, the discount is still in the $4-5K range. Congrats to you on the deal you were able to find.

mine will be missing:  power slide rear window :(, XM radio :(, power outletbox/cab, USB port back seat, hitch guidance, in vehicle trailer app, HD radio, rear seat storage pockets, no HD back up cam, garage door openers

When stepping up to the SLT, which my dealer gave me a really good deal to do, I'd only gain, somehow, XM radio and then stuff I totally don't need like leather, I think, and seat memory and such.  Totally not worth paying more for. If i had gotten the stuff I'm missing--absolutely, lol.  But that isn't going to happen because of that stupid chip.

The only things on that list that I want/have always had:  the power rear window and the XM.  I guess I can live without.

      Gas Prices

      WTI futures / speculation is just that. WTI futures <> current 4-7% inflation and national average gas price over $4.00/gallon.   The spot price, at delivery, is currently $87-$95/barrel which is why gas prices remain high.   Edit: oH mY gOd mEnTaL BrEaKdoWn In tHE pOsT aBOve mInE.

      He does, actually. In another unrelated video he mentions the president called him in the middle of the night to relay some information on a cause (religious based) that he's invested in. Glenn expressed concern that another leftist administration could wield too much power with some procedure the Pentagon was using, classifying certain religions a certain way. Being that he is LDS (Latter Day Saints), he gets hate all the time from ALL over the political spectrum, so he's invested in this. Trump called him back at 5AM to tell him he had made some changes to that classification.   So, yes, they are and have been in contact regularly since the start of the administration. Glenn, of course, always asks his permission before discussing anything on the air.   I already spent an hour or more just searching for these videos. I may have my numbers wrong - I'm not a numbers guy. It may have been a MILLION barrels, not 1.5. The point is, our President, by his actions, gives a crap about America, and US - this is completely OPPOSITE the actions of the prior administration who projected hatred for anyone who wasn't following the left's edicts in lock-step.   Remember, they called January 6th an "Insurrection", when there were ZERO weapons among the crowd, undercover FBI agents agitating the crowd, along with paid leftists acting as aggressors, egging the crowd on in an attempt to whip everyone into a frenzy. It's all been proven.  Pelosi refused Trumps request for more National Guard troops. This smells 100% like an inside job for those with critical thinking skills. Only a handful of guys in the crowd got wrapped up in that, thankfully, but EVERYONE was searched out based on cell phone data, and charges were brought against many. And 6 or so people were locked up and left in solitary confinement for YEARS with ZERO due process!! If you give the slightest crap about our Nation, REGARDLESS of your political leanings, this should frighten you to your core. This is what men suffered, bled, fought, and died against 250 years ago!   This has gone FAR BEYOND left vs. right. This is a  threat to America, and our way of life. This is PRECISELY why Trump, a BILLIONAIRE who could have chosen to take Melania and sit on some tropical island that he could afford to buy himself and RELAX, instead chose to run for office, get hate from literally every corner of the media, get ATTEMPTS on his LIFE constantly, and begin to repair some of the severe damage that's been done to this Great Nation.   I don't know why I bother wasting my precious time here. Everyone has their minds made up. They won't realize we all were correct until it's too late ... after they elect another tyrant that hates America to office (Obama), or another puppet whose administration is secretly running the show behind the scenes (Biden).

      DTC P2C48 auxiliary cooling pump

      By Newduramaxh*ar · Posted

      Hello, Im in a bit of a bind maybe someone could help me out.  We towed our trailer, up a pretty steep incline (395 north of Bishop) done it before no issues. I got to our campground turn truck off, i restarted the truck about an hour later  and check engine light turns on. Found DTC P2C48,  unable to reset.  This morning i removed the plug, there's 12.12v at the plug. Reservoir near firewall is full of coolant, checked for leaks nothing. I dont hear or feel the pump turning on. My dilemma, is nearest dealer  is 4hrs away that has the pump instock. Is it safe to drive? By me checking the available voltage at the connector and not hearing/feeling pump turn on, is it a bad pump? Please help...

      The figure bandied about is "100 million barrels" so I think a decimal is off somewhere. But that doesn't change the outcome much when the expected flow through the Strait through over the same time should have been more than 2,000,000,000.   So 5%, if that number is even true, and there's sufficient data to believe it's not. Give that man another Fifa peace prize! 5% is less than the flow of a grapefruit-sized prostate blocking the release of cheap lager after a night of bingo.
