Shipping date?

Delivery date?

Another story date?

 

Just wondering! I find it funny (actually disgusted) how GM customer service and the GM dealer neither of which for the last 3 months can't find the truck that I have a vin number for!

14 April is the new ETA for delivery.  Not holding my breath

Part of the problem is logistics.  Shortage of rail-cars, congestion in the rail system, shortage of truck drivers.  Friend works for a major US retailer (truck driver) and the starting salary is $97,

Would be nice to see a list of "Missing Parts" that my truck needs.

Drove by the local dealership. They had a bunch of new refreshed 1500s on the lot. Nice to know GM focused on building those first before completing 2500s that have been sitting for months. Pretty upsetting

The refreshed 2022 are being made in the plant in Mexico and the 2500 is made in Michigan.  One has nothing to do with the other.  Trouble is they made so many trucks with missing parts is that there is so much to do and not enough time to do it.   I know someone who works at the Flint (not in production) plant and he said every vacant lot in the area is full of trucks waiting on transportation.  First they had to be trucked to the storage areas, then the have to be trucked back to a rail head and this....

Fifth time truck has been delayed.  Still sitting at 4300 (since November).  Might be delivered in April now.  I was going to use the $1000 for Truck Month to go towards a Borla Cat-Back (thru Chevy); looks like that will be nulled  :(

 

I have been a loyal GM fan (did have a '12 Mustang GT which I did not like).  My father was a loyal GM fan...his father, same story.  Tired of waiting.  Patience is running out.  

 

Just needed to vent again...

Same here my 2022 limited been delayed shipping 4 times per dealer. My deposit is refundable per dealer if I choose to do so. This is on a Limited 2022. Dealer also told me they have several 2021 new rigs not shipped yet. Whole truck going to be nulled here soon and wait a year or 2 for this chip thing to sort out-hopefully.

Just know that you will be paying more as inflation is really starting to take full effect. Our order materials and equipment prices as an electrical contractor have gone up an average increase of 25% in the last 2 weeks. Yes i said 25% increase in material cost in the last 2 weeks alone. You will also be setting yourself up for a terrible interest rate unless you are paying cash on delivery for this truck, if you are going to finance then you will be paying thousands more for the truck in interest cost alone. Rates will never get as low as they were or as they are now, the free money train all of us enjoyed all of our lives is coming to an end here!

Mine has been sitting at 4300 for a couple of weeks with no ETA for delivery.  My dealer said it’ll probably arrive in a couple of weeks and they are the largest gm truck dealer in northeast but I have doubts. They have a decent timeline for production but poor logistics for delivery

Hope your luck is better than mine. Mine has been in 4300 jail since mid December. Dealer claims it moved lots so at least some activity!! Not holding my breath.

I was told 2 weeks to arrive. Placed deposit to hold truck in transit. That has been 6 weeks ago.

My 3500 DRW LTZ was built the week of February 14th. Has been at 4300 since February 24th.

 

Dealer says it is flagged as "hot" meaning it should get priority. I'm not holding my breath.

Friend was just telling me he ordered a 2022 Polaris RZR with a MSRP over $30K.  Last week he got a letter for Polaris corp informing him his new RZR was going up in price by min %5.  He is po'd, at the time he ordered he was told it would lock in the prices but now they are going back on that.  He has money down, had to do that in order for the dealer to place the order.  

 

·        4300 Intermediate Delivery

Could mean at an upfitter, another lot, or sitting waiting for available shipping at some storage area.

 

Friend who lives in the Flint area and has seen all the trucks sitting around said a train a 100 miles would not load them all.  Keep in mind a lot of vehciel from other plants get shipped in for local distribution. He has seen Camaro's and Cadillac's as well and they are built in Lansing.

I went through a total of five HD's and four dealerships in the past seven months trying to make a purchase....

 

The first was a special order SLE in September 2021. My dealer called after a month and said GM was not picking up the order and they are only building Denali's and AT4's at the moment (in other words, high profit vehicles). I changed my order to a loaded $85k Denali. That order was picked up quickly and was told by dealer I would get it by end of January. 

 

Dealer said status showed completed build in December. January came and left. February came as well followed by March and still no movement. Contacted dealer and he said he had no idea what was happening and it was just sitting. I asked what should I do? Sales Manager replied very coldly, "Do what you need to do".... so I canceled reservation and in that same day, put a deposit on an "In-Transit" green AT4 " at a 2nd dealer. This 2nd dealer assured me the AT4 would be moving in the next 2-3 days before he took my deposit. After a month and three delivery date changes on-line, I began to loose hope. 

 

A week ago, I got the idea to look at Silverado HD's and see what was happening with Chevrolet? I thought maybe the Canadian plant could be a better option? I went ahead and put a deposit on a Canadian built "In-Transit" HD that had a completed build and being delivered to what was now my 3rd dealer who was located 500 miles away from my home. 

 

Now I had a total of (2) deposits out there: one on a green AT4 Sierra and one on a silver High County Silverado! Of course right about now, I hear my special order Denali from last year finally showed up at my original dealer (after seven months) but of course somebody put a deposit on it.... ugggghhh!  

 

Last Friday, I get a call from a 4th dealer about 200 miles away who apparently kept my phone number from a past inquiry. He told me they had a white AT4 that just fell out and did I want it? Of course I jumped at it and now happy to say this dog & pony show has finally come to an end. 

 

This was a ton of energy for something being sold @ MSRP w/zero factory incentives or compensation for the hoops and hurdles going on at the moment. I honestly feel that one (or two) of the above trucks are basically "lost" and that's why they could not ship them... buried behind a sea of vehicles. 

 

I don't really know how to end this tale, but will say that I am a bit numb (and tired) from it. Yes, I could have sat on my hands and just waited, but to be honest, I didn't want a vehicle that had been sitting in a field somewhere for months nor was I willing to pay over MSRP. On the upside, it did give me PLENTY of time to fine tune what it was I wanted vs. needed. In the end, I am happy I landed on the color and trim I now have because it's a big departure from the SLE originally ordered.

      ‘25 Silverado purchase- back to dealership for bumper/radio issue

      By Atomicgrl · Posted

      The no sound problem is the audio amplifier. The audio amp has a heatsoak issue in some circuitry which causes it to miss the wakeup handhake. If it doesn't respond within a certain time parameter, then you get no sound. I brought it in and had the software update, but after further testing the tech made the call for a new audio amplifer. The software update I belive gives more time for the amp to respond, but if the amp is defective then you can still get no audio at times. After the update it went 12 days before no sound. After doing some research, apparently the fix is a new (updated) audio amplifer, the circuitry internally has been improved to better deal with heat. I had to wait 2 1/2 weeks because at the time, it was on backorder with no eta. Well the amp came in earlier this week. I had the amp and programming work done today. After picking it up I stopped at a few places, and whenever I started my truck, the audio was on instantly, so whatever they did it appears to work because it's never had sound that quickly......Hope this helps

      Make sure the latch mechanism is properly greased. Look at the catch for fresh marks/scratches. And see if it has moved a little, too.

      Thoughts on these wheels?

      By PBNB · Posted

      I have the 18" black mutilspoke wheels that came with my truck. I like them as they are very subdued and look good with the 295/70's    I am sure that the next set of wheels I get will be some after market all black wheels. Or maybe some AT4X wheels.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Interesting question which you partly answered in the word 'potentially'. I think that is going to be a 'point of reference' inquiry. What are the touchstones?    This will sound petty but it is the main source of end fighting in threads on this topic. Define a motors "Life". Think about the various arguments that have been entertained on these pages in that very argument.    I can only speak from my viewpoint. Engine "Life" in my world is defined by power cylinder integrity. For the majority of engines it is the bore/ring interface that quits first. Loss of seal. Oil consumption and loss of power. Most Pro motor builders would agree and there is a good deal of information on using "Leak Down" as a primary indicator of bore integrity. At home a compression test is more the thing. If we can agree on that then I think CC Jensen has done its homework and I'd find it valid.    Now by my own definition, Dizzy, wife's Ecotec 2.4 I-4 has been dead since about 80K miles. And yet we have logged over 200K miles more on it. "Life" and "Usefulness" are therefore independent.      I know a mature fella right now who has just hit 300K on a Mitsubishi 3A92 NA MPFI motor and has done compression test every 100K. It was 205 psi after break in and is now about 195 and still even. He uses shelf oil but good filters and adheres to a 3K mile OCI. He even do UOA's on each of them for the first 50K.      I also know a fleet mechanic with that same motor that gets 300 to 500 K out of them but the are oil using, wristpin sloppy, skirt slapping motors. He ran one with a piston pin so loose the piston was bouncing off the cylinder head for about 20K miles before he called TOD. Both of them claim success.
