For those of you that had your truck built in Fort Wayne, how long after the truck was actually shipped and moving did it take for you to receive it? I just found out mine is on the move as of today after sitting in a lot since April, but I'm on the west coast, so curious about timing.

On mine, I got notification from GM via email that it had shipped on 5/18 and it arrived at my dealer on 5/31. I live about 9 hours away from Fort Wayne in Missouri.

You need to contact GM. You should not have paid the MSRP increases.

 

Who from GM do you contact? I am in a similar situation, order placed 2/10 and vehicle was built as of 6/8 but is still not in transit. I would like to know how to go about getting reimbursed directly from GM. Thanks

I have called several numbers with no luck, saying that you have to go through the dealer for them to do it.  So...if anyone has a number to call, that would be awesome!  (Especially since there were 3 total increases that increased the msrp almost $4k!!!)

Sounds like you’re getting screwed by the dealer. Have you even tried talking the dealer about it? No way I would have accepted that when buying the truck.

 

They are probably pocketing the MSRP refund you’re supposed to get.

You need to work this out with the dealer you’re buying from. If they are charging you the higher MSRP they are screwing you. They very well know there’s a refund available on sold orders that have had a price increase. If they don’t give that refund to you, guess who gets it.

Posted previously in this thread but figured I would follow up since I am going to pick-up my ultimate tomorrow.  

 

Will recap the order process for me and then a quick note on the dealership I ordered through.  
I put a deposit down as soon as they were open in Nov. Think it got picked up In Feb and built. Finally made it to the dealership and is ready to be picked up.
 
Did hit one snag as the dealer stated that they are now wanting to do a $5K market adjustment.  Which is kind of out of left field and a warning to others to make sure and get something in writing when you order. 
I realize this is the dealership just taking advantage of the market and a lot of dealerships are doing the same thing.
I don't have any relationship with the dealership as I had just moved to Edmond OK at the time I put the $100 deposit down to get on the reserve list.
Really want the truck so don't have much a a choice other than to complain. Has supercruise and the 6.2 like I wanted. Just didn't see them being that crappy so close to the sale. Only thing I have is the fact that I put the deposit down and the build sheet. I don't have anything else in writing or anything that says they wouldn't do the mark up.
 
Bob Howard GMC is the dealership.  Just FYI to anyone looking for a new truck.

I picked up a Denali in Nashville last week.  It's not the one I ordered, which is now going to be built as a 2023.  The one I bought was ordered and the deal feel through so it was available and I had put my name on the list just in case the deal feel through.  It's the Pacific Blue Denali with the 6.2 and all options that were order are working on the truck, so I feel lucky to be able to find this.  Paid original MSRP and no dealer add on pricing.  Loving the truck so far.

I finally got word from the Sales Manager that my truck (AT4x was built but sitting in a lot waiting for chips. No expected date was provided regarding when it would ship.

My 2022 high country showed up over the weekend. Not much for options except LM2 and a bunch of little stuff. Only missing steering column lock and f/r park assist. Current MSRP was just over $68k, paid original GMS pricing of $62.3k. 

 

ordered 3/7

accepted early to mid April sometime

built 4/25

delivered 6/25

gmauthority has an article today saying now the 3.0L LM2 diesel is on constraint and dealers will be contacting people with orders - sounds like options are either the 2.7 or 5.3 or wait until next year for the 2023 with the new LZ0 engine.  Ordered 4/4/ gm accepted order 5/5 but still no TPW so I'm guessing I am not getting a truck built this year.

 

I'm not sure what I'm going to do.  My dealer has some 2022 Limiteds with the 3.0L diesel.  Downside to that is it doesn't have the refreshed interior, no HD surround vision which I am kind of ambivalent about and they are lacking parking assist, rear cross traffic alert, heated steering wheel and heated/ventilated/cooled seats - to be retrofitted at some future date whenever parts become available. 

 

I feel like the supply chain issues aren't going to get better and waiting for 2023's seems like that's no guarantee of getting a truck built either and with the way prices on everything are going up its a safe bet the 2023's will cost even more than the 2022 refresh..  At the same time if I "settle" for a 2022 limited it won't have the items noted above - I'm not confident the parts come in for the missing features anytime soon either - if ever. 

 

 

I ordered Feb. 3, order got accepted May 4, finally I got an email today from GM saying my vehicle is being built. I have a 3.0L LM2 in my truck so I don't know how bad the constraint is. I suggest you don't settle. If you are paying 60 grand for a truck, it better have everything you want. I didn't wanna delete the CarbonPro package so I bit the bullet for 4 months and it's finally paying off. Just an FYI though, usually if the order is accepted, they don't make you change your options, if your order was accepted with the LM2, you shouldn't have to change unless it is on extreme constraint. It usually means they just wont pick up anymore orders with the LM2.

    • 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
