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.

    • 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.
