My timeline so far:

 

Silverado 3500HD LTZ DRW ordered 9/9/2021.

11/22/21 - 1100 (preliminary order accepted)

12/8/21 - 3000 ORDER ACCEPTED BY PRODUCTION CONTROL
1/28/22 - 3300   ORDER SELECTED, SCHEDULED FOR PRODUCTION - TPW: 2/7/22

2/14/22 - 3400 ORDER BROADCAST FOR PRODUCTION (LOADED ON ASSEMBLY PLANT COMPUTERS)

2/24/22 - 3800 Vehicle produced

2/25/22 - 4300 Intermediate delivery

 

As of today, it's still in Flint being "inspected". Dealer told me on 2/25 to expect it in about a month.

So looks like almost 2 months to make it from 3000 to 3300.   Wonder what they're "inspecting"?

I just took delivery of my 2022 Denali 2500 Diesel on 1/7/22 and it has heated seats and heated steering wheel.

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

Where do you get these codes?  Your dealer?  Or can you find the status your self?  My truck has been at 4300 since last November :(

I got the codes from the online chat at Chevrolet. The automated response always gives a generic response but if you speak to a live agent, they will give you the current status code. The latest 4300 code was direct from the dealer. I have a suspicion it's waiting on parts.

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.

I think you are right.  "luck", good fortune, blessed, however one wants to say it, definitely played a part.  I also think the dealer and i working together created part of that "luck".  This is a high volume dealer who has seen their fair share of truck orders stuck in shipping.  Through this "self education", the Sales Manager had a good feeling of what would and wouldn't get built, and shipped.  We didn't force anything, and held off when specific options that were deal breakers (like the 5th wheel package) went on restriction.  That patience (IMO) created the possibility for luck. 

On a side note, I had planned to cancel the order immediately if it went in to a hold for any reason.  Based on what I'm hearing from forums and dealers, that is a complete waste land.  Sincerely empathize for people who aren't in the position to be able to cancel those orders, and wish all the best resolution possible.

I ordered a 22 Silverado LT crew cab 6.6l gas on 10/18/2021 and it got placed with gm first of November and it came in on 3/1/2022 so almost 5 month on mine. Took longer than expected but got everything on the truck i wanted now it is a waiting game on the chip to be available so my heated seats and steering wheel and parking sensors work. But one thing to note that I thought was weird was i optioned it with the factory aux switches and they install the 5 button switch during the build but I have to pay to get it hooked up, all the parts to make them work was underneath  the rear seat in the storage. Just thought that was weird that they do not do the whole install on them from the factory.

Congrats on getting your new truck!

Did you get the Snow Plow Option?

I read something regarding the Upfitter Switches.  If I remember correctly, if the options included the snow plow prep, the switch stack was installed, because the 5th Aux switch is designed to be used for the beacon light on the roof.  I'm not sure if there are other options that would relate to a roof mounted light, or if there are other options that would affect it. 

I have the Snow Plow/Camper package option, and my switches were installed as well.  Still have to install the rest of the kit.  I agree with you that it would have been better installed during the build.

The current status code is 4200 - Order shipped.

Not sure if that is better or not...

All the dealer can tell me is it's still in Flint.

Finally ran out of patience. Found a 2020 truck almost identical to the one on order. Same color, same trim but with some extras that mine doesn't have, including working heated/cooled seats, heated steering wheel and heated rear seats. Also, has parking sensors, blind spot monitors etc.

Picked it up on Saturday.

Now, to try and get my deposit back.

I placed an order and deposit in June. I called yesterday and was told the dealership got the allocation two weeks ago. The sales manager said it *should* be ready in November. Hopefully no holds on the content to delay this even more.

So the original truck, ordered last September and built in February, finally showed up at the dealership.

And? Did you go see it or have any regrets not waiting?

I did a drive-by and saw it on their lot. Checking their website today, looks like it's already sold.

Although the one I have is 2 years older, it is better equipped.

Over the one I ordered, it has navigation, alloys, blind spot warning, running boards, heated rear seats, not to mention heated/cooled seats and heated steering wheel that actually work. The only regret is that this one doesn't have wireless carplay.

I don't think I've seen or heard of anyone that has actually got their "later retrofit" yet.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.

      Some Assembly is Required

      Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install.

      Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.
