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.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.
