GM chat was able to tell me that my vehicle has been produced and is awaiting shipping.  For reference, reserved and ordered on 4/4.  Order accepted by GM 5/5.  TPW 6/20.

Now I just have to see when it ships and what it is missing when it arrives.

2022 refresh Denali, Pacific Northwest Blue, L87 6.2L, Reserve/Technology package, ordered Dec 16th, 2021.  Built May 20th.  Est dealer delivery July 8th.  It's been a long wait  Delay after delay, just like everyone else.  So glad the wait is almost over.

Just received a check from GM for the difference between the agreed upon price at Ordering in February and the price I paid when I got the truck in May!  My contact at my dealership did all the legwork, I didn't do anything other than notify him I should have paid the original price.

I just got a happy surprise in my email, assuming there are no restrictions that will prevent me from using it. I had planned on ordering a 2022, but the order fell through when Chevy stopped building any more Silver Ice trucks. So I told the dealer to hold off and order a 2023 in the new gray color that's coming out. Well I got an email from Chevy saying that since my order couldn't be fulfilled, they're giving me a $3,000 coupon off of a 2023 order, which I was planning anyway. As long as I can take delivery by January. Hopefully there are no constraints that push me past that timeframe.

Nice, that will probably just cover the price increase MY23 is gonna get.

close to two months after the truck is build and is not shipping .... why ? what is going on ?

It is very widely publicized that GM has many thousands of vehicles that were “built short” sitting in lots waiting on one component or another. No one can tell you when the shortage for your specific truck will be resolved.

 

Ordering a truck, or any vehicle for that matter, today is not something am impatient person should do. It’s not like this is a new thing, we’ve seen this for over a year.

I'm in the same boat. My truck was built in May and has been awaiting "shipping". Not thrilled that my '22 will already be a model year old and has been baking in the hot Texas (?) sun for a couple of months either. I would have preferred if GM said they did not have enough parts to build my truck, at present, and then notify me when they did. This has kind of taken the luster off of the whole "be the first to reserve the new AT4X", which I did....

Finally took delivery of my 2022 refresh Sierra 1500 Denali Friday.  Ordered Dec 16th and built May 20th.  It's been a long wait but well worth it.  This truck is awesome.

I got the 6.2L V8 and love the power.  The only thing that's missing is the park assist and it's supposed to be retrofitted later this year. I'm so glad I remained patient and waited for this one.  It's worth it.  Enjoy 2fastmc.  I know you are.

Update:  Dealership says the truck is "missing parts" and sitting in a lot somewhere in Ohio.  They have no idea when it might actually ship.  They said there has been no consistent pattern for how long an ordered, built but missing parts vehicle might sit.  I went into this thinking 3 to 6 months to get the truck.  It looks like if anything that might be optimistic.  Half joking asked when 2023 production starts and they said don't bother it could be 9 months before any of those start showing up - clearly they are as frustrated as I am.

yesterday I chat with gm and ask them why is my truck been build 2 months a go but not shipping, they didn't have a answer so lather that day someone from GM  actually call me they try to locate my truck using my order number and nothing was coming up than she ask me for my vin, I provided ,she was like nothing is coming up on our system for your order, she ask if I wanted to escalate it  to higher up I said no , today I email my dealer, and I got this , (It still shows produced and waiting "In-transit". So we are just waiting for GM to ship it. )

    • I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.
    • I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed. 
    • Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day. 
    • Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?
    • The use of absolutes like "always" to describe gear selection, and giving free advice at a boat ramp sounds like a recipe for disaster. It's a boat ramp, not a farm, for starters.   IMO gear selection should depend on the obstacle. If low range is working and this is a slower speed, controlled ordeal, I'd keep using that.
