If you buy any vehicle now without an inflated trade in. Usually going for msrp or above. You will get hosed the next time around. If I was still working and had to buy for work. It would be a work truck stripped. Than go after market for goodies I needed for comfort. 

I can trade my 21 in for the same or more than I paid for it and can get a new on GMS, so with that said I can get the same truck I have for cheaper or more truck for the same price.  

 

I dont get all the bells whistles but I get a lot of them.  And cost wise and hassle wise its not worth getting the stripped truck and building it from there, have tried that before and it doesnt work out in th eend.

I went into this expecting a 3-9 month wait with a year left on my trailboss lease. So I gave myself some room to play with. Best tip i can give. Give yourself time, order the truck, and then forget y

The car pro radio program I listen to on Saturdays says with a five year old or newer SUV or truck. The trade ins are beating the mark ups. Certain lease vehicles are bringing lots of equity.

So I wonder if all the components are there such as the elements in the seats button on the dash etc, its just missing the components or brain to make them work. 

 

I have a 21 and with trade in values and my GM pricing it actually works out for me to get a new truck again.  But I dont want to be missing a bunch of items.   What you stated sounds ok if its only a for a few months, but almost sounds like an empty promise and almost feel like its a trap, in that 2-3 years down the road if GM never makes the truck right and when you go to trade or sell your going to get well that was a covid truck its not worth as much

i read on one of the GM sites GM moved the approximate time frame for activating the heated seats/steering wheel to Q3 '22 from their original goal of Q2 '22.   Saw a news report earlier this week that the global chip shortage will drag out longer than forecasted. 

"Bird in the hand..." comes to mind.  lol

From what I gather, all of the components will be installed just not functional.  It would be a real nightmare for the dealers if they had to tear dashes and seats apart to install switches, heating elements etc.

I ordered a 2022 Chevy duramax high country October 21st. The only way they would accept the order was if I dropped the high country deluxe option. I really wanted the rear view camera and the heads up display, but it wasn’t a deal breaker. It was scheduled for a build the week of December 6th. I got a vin the first of January. It is stuck in a code of 3800. I have quit asking the dealer because they don’t have a clue. I have tried calling dealers when I see a truck on there web site but they are sold with people waiting behind them. I just hope I get it buy April to pull my camper.

Sometimes I wonder if these dealers are playing games. When your long-awaited truck arrives at their lot, they could sell to you at the originally agreed upon sticker price, or they could sell to an impatient customer for $8K or $10K over. They can hold on to your deposit and order another truck, meanwhile you just started another wait period but you'd be none the wiser.

From the day of order to day mine came in it was 110 days, a reg cab 3500hd GMC. The dealer called me the day it arrived and offered me a check for 5k if they could sell it to someone else, I said no thanks I ordered what I wanted and it's mine. Get to the dealership and there is literally 4 guys trying to buy my truck that was already paid for on delivery......

My dealer was allocated a build slot and my order from 1/24/22 was placed (Code 1100) on 2/4.  As of now, apparently, Chevy is only allowing spray on bedliner options for the High Country trim levels.  Therefore, I had to proceed without it.  Not a big deal as there are plenty of options for that outside of GM.  I am assuming they are having supply issues with the liner material and are rationing for their top tier models.  I can only assume the Denali would fall in there as well.  Of all the options I put on this truck I wasn't expecting the ChevTech spray on bedliner to throw a flag.  Very early in the process here so we will see if anything else pops up.

To close out my input on order time to delivery time.  Just picked up my truck.

* Initial discussion to get order started - October 3rd.

* Order placed into system -December 2nd

* Truck built - early February

* Truck arrived at Larry H. Miller in Murray, UT - February 25th

It shipped straight from production to the rail yard, and then to dealership, arriving a bit earlier than expected.  It did not come with heated seat/steering wheel or with the Bedside Storage Box option that we had ordered in December.

 

3500HD LT CC/SB 4x4 Cherry Red Tint Coat/Gideon-Very Dark Atmosphere 6.6 Gas engine

Options:

Convenience Package

Bedside storage boxes  (not available)

Gooseneck 5th wheel package

Power Sunroof

Leather package

Convenience Package II

Auxiliary Trailer Camera

Front Bucket Seats with Center Console

Trailering Mirrors -Heated Power-Adjustable, Auto Dimming w/Turn Indicators

Interior Convenience Package

Snow Plow Prep/Camper Package

Dual Alternator & Batteries

Multiflex tailgate

Bedview Camera

Black Molded Splash guards

Autotrac 2 Speed Transfer Case

High Idle Switch

Upfitter Switch Kit

Engine Block Heater

Trailer TPMS

 

In November we could have placed the order, but the Gooseneck hitch option was restricted, and I wanted the OEM setup.  In order to get the next slot in December (which by then had released the restriction on the Gooseneck option), we had to eliminate the Roof Marker Light Option.   Dealer didn't know Bedside Storage Boxes would not be delivered until trucks showed up on their lot.

 

Overall, I'm very happy with how things turned out.  The exclusion of the bedside storage boxes turned out for the best, as my plans changed between the time of order and the truck showed up.  The dealership was awesome to work with.  From order through delivery, the Sales Person, General Sales Manager and Finance Manager were really great.

I placed my order Feb 22/22. As of today truck was at event code 3000.  Any input as to how long it's been taking to go from 3000 to production?

You got lucky? I ordered a 2500 Custom, gas in September. With hardly any options. Still nothing. All I have is a VIN saying its built. It has been slotted as "Missing Parts". That was in January.

      Scan Tool Recommendation

      By AndrewF · Posted

      I am in the market for a bidirectional scan tool so was hoping someone can help point me in the right direction. There are so many options out there it is hard to narrow down which make/model to choose.   I have always done my own vehicle work so looking to maximize capability with the scanner. Ideal price is $1k or less but would be willing to exceed if it opens up significant benefits.  Currently my 24 2500 is the newest vehicle but also have a few mid to late 2010s Subarus as well.    It seems that the Autel MP900 has a decent amount of features at a reasonable price?

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip.
