Is this true or dealer blowing smoke out his

[Mikemil]

A friend of mine called me tonight to ask if this is really true.

I have not heard anything about this, but he ordered a new Tahoe last Oct.

As of today, his order still has not moved forward and the dealer is telling him

 

GM cannot for some reason build V8 engines like the 5.3L engine for all these months.

 

Sounds odd, a whole plant building V8 engines would be at a standstill

 

Is this true and if so Why ?

Or any other reason New Tahoe's are not being built ?

 

Thanks - Mike

No one knows ?

No delivers being help up ?

 

How about any GM truck or SUV with 6.2 liter engine being held up building as to engine supply or TSB issue ?

 

Thanks

In the last 2 months we had 2 Tahoes show up with 5.3. 

 

I see on engine constraints in the consensus guide.  Lemme check with some people.

My local Toyota, GMC, Chevy secondary lots are empty. The main lots are spaced wide. The normal online deals don’t exist.

Imo it would have to be related to the chip shortage 

 

In order to meet their emission's target and not pay fines, those V8's need dfm.
