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. 

 

They are building them in Oshawa Canada three hours away from me and my new trucks VIN is from Mexico. I think they just shoot the orders out based off of plant capacity at the time lol

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

 

On March 25th I got an email from GMC with my order number. I hadn't really asked or bugged the dealer prior for it.

I agree, we went form no inflation energy surplus merchandise everywhere  to Eastern Europe in the 80s , in last than a year and a half.

America or China didn't sell out. Old Wealthy men made deals to pay less for  labor and make more money while charging more.

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. 

Dirk13 who are you ordering from that you can get $4000 below MSRP.  Both Ford and Dodge have dealerships around the US allowing customers to order for 3% or more below invoice but I have not seen any GM truck dealer advertising below invoice ordering.  I am fine to wait if ordering takes 6 months, I am not fine with paying over MSRP for anything and most dealers here want MSRP or more.  I live in Massachusetts so am willing to go anywhere on the northeast for below invoice ordering.  

 

Thanks

Thought I would give an update for Denali Ultimate peeps.  

 

Got an email from the dealership today that stated even though the truck was marked as "produced" that GM won't be delivering any Denali's or AT4's until the end of April.  

 

Chatted with the GMC reps myself they didn't know anything about the delivery delays.  They usually don't seem to have much info.  But did state the vehicle was produced on 3/31/22.  Currently 3800 status not the 4200-4300 status which I think means its actually shipped. 

 

Anyhoo just passing along what I have heard, don't know exactly what about the supposedly delay is accurate or not.

I qualify for GM Supplier Pricing because of where I work. The dealer I ordered through is allowing me to take advantage of that. Most dealers are not. And you won’t get that discount here if you aren’t eligible. They give $1000 off MSRP to everyone though.

 

Middle of nowhere Pennsylvania is a long drive from Mass for $1000 off but send me a direct message if you’re interested in the dealer name

Got the same message today on my Carbon Pro AT4 order that I put in on 1/14. Moved now to event code 3000.

Hey all.  New member here.  Figured I would post here to track my ordering experience as it moves forward.  Made a reservation and placed an order for a SLT, Crew Cab, Short Bed with the 3.0 duramax on 4/4/22.  SLT Premium pkg, x31 pkg, and sunroof.  Dealer had no idea how long it might take.  I'm guessing 3 to 6 monhts. but we will see. As of 4/12/22 GM has not accepted the order from the dealer.

    • 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
    • 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).
    • 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.  
    • They’re not the same wiz as 10-15 years ago.  QC has fallen pretty hard.  The XP line was never good though in the first place.    https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/wix-filter-rusted-through.386492/post-6991372   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/i-ve-used-my-last-wix-filter.27299/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/looking-for-a-better-replacement-for-wix-51258.403977/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/convince-me-in-using-the-purolator-boss.401537/post-7420147   the forums are littered with posts and examples of not great wix filters the last couple years
