Hey guys, anybody having any luck placing orders on the Denali ultimate? I placed an order on March 7 and was told on the 17th that my order wasn't accepted as GM is no longer taking Denali ultimate orders. 

have heard Denali Ultimate orders are fulfilled for this MY22. They will open again this summer late for MY23 is what my dealer told me. I would call dealers tho, people can change mind and you can snag an order or reservation spot. I actually just got told my Duramax Denali Ultimate has a build date, VIN. Dealer thinks I should get it in May/June possibly

I chatted with Chevrolet and they said that my TPW has been moved back to 04/18 from 04/11. They said the facility it will be built at is Flint Michigan. Do you know if this is one of the facilities that will be shut down for 2 weeks? They couldnt tell me.

Fort Wayne, Indiana was the only plant mentioned by GM. Who knows though.

Just FYI from my dealer:

 

They told me Denali trim Sierras are on constraint for two months last week.

I'm not sure if this also applies for Denali Ultimate vehicles

Nobody is paying ADM on their new refreshed Silverado or Sierra are they? This is from a dealer in So Cal. Hopefully nobody is going to pay this. Make sure you speak to your dealer about pricing before your truck shows up.

100% guarantee someone will pay it. $5k on $83k isn’t even a big percentage mark up versus what has been seen over the last year. 
 

Me? I’m not, but I’m also not in SoCal. Dealers here sell for MSRP or under. I have an order in that I’ll pay supplier pricing (about $4k under MSRP) for when it shows up, but I also qualify. I don’t think I’d even pay MSRP, I just wouldn’t buy a new truck.

Once an order has been submitted about how long does it take for GM to accept it ?  Or is this like asking how long does it take to catch a fish ?

the order was for 2022 Sierra Denali.

Finally got an email from GMC saying that my order was moving to production. 5 weeks after getting email confirmation that they've accepted the order. Contacted GMC chat support and was able to get an estimate TPW of 4/4/22.

Thought I would add my two cents in here to add to the knowledge base.  

 

Reserved a Denali Ultimate back in Oct when they first opened up.

I think the ordered got accepted around Feb 14th

Supposedly got picked up and went to 3100 status on March 4th

Got an email from GMC stated the vehicle was scheduled for production March 30th.

And a call from the dealership today April 1st saying it had been produced and he was able to provide a VIN.

 

This is my first experience ordering a vehicle so I really don't know what all this means just trying to provide color and timing to everyone else ordering vehicles during the "Great Supply Chain Depression".  

 

Was also told by the dealership that they had a new policy and I had 24hrs to pick up the vehicle once they received it lol! 

 

With all the horror stories of people paying above MSRP on new vehicles I have no idea on how to stop that from happening when the truck actually shoes up but we will see I guess.

Dealer Markups

 

markups.org use this website to help promote dealers that aren’t charging ADMs or over sticker. Also use this to put dealers that are charging over sticker. We need to funnel business away from dealers that charge markups. It’s out of hand.

I ordered a GMC 3500 Denali in February, the dealer called me 2 weeks later to say the order was accepted and they needed a refundable deposit for the order. I was given a build number from the dealer. I checked the status with the automated system, and it said order received from dealer but not accepted. Is the system not reliable,  or did the dealer just want the deposit before the order is really accepted?

Ordered my refreshed elevation 1500 on 3/4. Moved to 3000 on 3/22 and 3400 on 4/2. TPW of 4/18.

Hoping to see a Fort Wayne build as I am in Metro Detroit.

How long did it take for you to get a build number from your dealer ?

    • Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?. 
    • He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it. 
    • I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
    • 2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!    
    • 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.
