Received another email today.  The truck is en route via rail and is one state away.  Called dealer and they thought it might arrive later this week, but admitted that was a guess.

Just got my order accepted by GM today. I ordered it on 2/3/22 and my dealer just called. No TPW yet. It's a 3.0L Duramax with a carbonpro bed in Titanium Rush Metallic

Update:  Today, 5/5/2022 I received the email from GM saying they had accepted my order.  Basically 1 month to the day my dealer placed the order.  Just putting this out there for anyone interested in long the ordering process takes.  i will provide further updates as I get them from GM or the dealer.

 

Minor update.

 

Made a reservation for a 2022 refresh SLT on 4/2.  Ordered with a local dealer on the same day.  GMC chat confirmed the dealer placed the order on 4/5 but GM had not accepted the order at that time.  Today the dealership contacted me to let me know GM was telling them the truck could not be ordered with splash guards.  I told the dealer that was fine and to change the order to delete the splash guards.  GM as of today 4/26 still has not accepted the order from the dealer.

 

So the order I placed is for

1. 2022 SLT Crewcab shortbox 4x4 in summit white/jet black interior

2. 3.0L duramax

3. SLT trim

4. SLT premium plus package

5. X31 Off Road and protection package

6. power sunroof

 

The splash guards (part of the x31 off road protection package) seem like a weird item to have to delete but it is easy enough to order after market so it was a no brainer to agree to delete them from the build if that is what is holding GM up from accepting the order.  I went into this thinking 3 to 6 months.  Just going to have to wait and see I guess.

Anyone receive a Denali Ultimate yet?  I sent my order to dealer first part of March.  They have told me varying things. I know it hasn't been allocated, but they keep telling me that they are hopeful.  Wanting to see if I should stick with it or change trims, or change brands.  Ford is telling me I can have something in 4-6 months.  Just really want to get something this year.

Did you get an order number from your dealer?  Should be a 6 character value with letters and numbers.  If you have that you can go to gmc.com and use the chat feature to check status.  Start chat by saying "hi" and when they ask what do you need help with reply "order status".  They will ask for your order number and let you know if the dealer even placed the order with them and whether they've accepted it to begin building it.

My 2nd order was accepted Tuesday.  Waiting for a TPW now.  I had originally ordered a Glacier Blue RST Z71 but changed my mind after seeing GBM in person.  Love the color but I think I would get tired of it and it would be difficult to keep clean.  

 

So, I now have an order for Sand Dune Metallic ZR2.  Only option I selected is the power tailgate.  Really wish the multiflex tailgate had been available to order.  I will miss that option.

Order update:

1. Ordered 1/27/22. AT4, 6.2L, Carbon Pro

2. Accepted 4/12/22

3. Got a TPW today of 5/9/22.

 

I think I will probably have it by early to mid June.

 


Is your TPW still showing as next week?

GMC chat says they don’t know the TPW. Dealer still says 5/9/22. Don’t know how dealer has more info than GMC themselves

I wouldn’t assume chat has access to all information GMC holds and that they are willing to share it with you.

I wonder the same thing as well. My dealer is still showing 5/9 for mine too but I get the same generic message from the chat each time. It makes me hesitant since the chat makes it sound like it’s still being processed but hopefully we get good news next week.

I talked to a real person through the chat. They still don’t know the TPW date. Maybe they are just not willing to give it.

The Chat on GMC.com is not there for the sole purpose of giving people build updates. I’m sure if you asked the opinion of GM, they would say go ask your dealer.

 

The person you’re talking to is just reading what comes up on a screen no doubt and without having knowledge of how their systems work and what information is accessible where, it would be foolish to assume this person has all the info.

    • 286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔           
    • hello I recently bought a 2012 gmc 1500 with a 5.3 and have a AFM disabler on it I'm interested in doing a cam but I'm worried if I remove the AFM system I will fail smog does anyone have info if they are able to detect that or a work around to it (not talking about hot smogging) please let me know thank you  
    • Update. I started chasing down my symptoms. Started first with pulling valve covers and looked at everything. Everything looked good and couldn't hear or feel anything different. Then a compression test. 240 psi or really close on each cylinder. I was worried I was a tooth off of timing. Not bad for an engine with 173,000. Granted I did put new heads on. I sprayed water around the injector area to see if I could hear a change. Nothing. I hooked up my new hp tuner which I should have done in the first place but I don't really know what I'm looking at just yet but am learning. I noticed the fuel trims were way off so that told me I have to have either a bad injector or exhaust leak. New injectors, so I did the shop vac on blower and in the tail pipe. Sprayed soapy water and found the exhaust flange on the drivers side was leaking. I didn't think it would be that considereding I pulled the heads and left the manifolds attached. I did have the transmission replaced not long ago. They must have not seated them properly but I guess I didn't notice. I put in new gaskets on both sides. Which by the way isn't a bad job but I had a hard time getting them to seal right. Took two attempts. Reset the fuel trims and the ticking is gone, engine runs smooth and acceleration has improved. Got to feel the real difference with that stage 1 cam. It's not that big of a difference but it does add a little more. It feels like how the truck should have been from the factory.
    • Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.
