Oof back up to 14 days away. 

 

Have you thought about cancelling yet or still trying to wait it out?

Truck i was going to buy was built Nov 6, 2021. Still at 4800 and was told going to be shipped 2 weeks and 2 weeks and 2 weeks. Tired of the running around and cancelled. Will wait and see what happens with the redesigned models. This was a 2022 limited Sierra.

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,

The oil industry is beginning to worry about demand destruction which will happen if prices climb much more. If you hear "stay-cation" make it back into the vernacular because of gas prices, a recessi

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

I am just gonna wait it out.  I too will see what the '23 models bring.  At this pace, might just order a '24.

Same here wait this so called supply shortage out and when the flood of trucks hit the market prices go down.

I don't think there ever will be a flood of trucks at the dealers.

Them days are bye bye.

Why would they not keep doing it like they are and get sticker for everything they sell?

So given the recent amount of TV advertising of GMC HD trucks, GM must think there will be lots of HDs hitting dealers soon as the huge inventory of "chip held" trucks sitting everywhere around the factories are completed enough to ship.

 

As for expecting the dealer price-gouging to subside... maybe not as all manufacturers are raising their MSRPs given the inflationary pressures of the times.   "You can pay me more now or pay me even more later"!

 

What a complete and utter CF!

To the point they are paying existing drivers big bonus's for referring drivers.  The oem's created a lot of these problems by continuing the build vehicles that are missing components and now there are long delays in shipping the parts and the completed vehicles.   Its the economy, the climate control zealots are in control in DC and are trying to run the oil companies out of business and that has unintended consequences.

It seems mine is at least out of the Duramax hold but still sitting in Flint awaiting transport.

 

The GM chat on Friday said it should ship in 3-4 days... 🤣🤣

 

Not holding my breath!!!

So a friend of mine that works for CN Rail texted me saying my truck moved from Flint to Montreal on May 3rd. Its either still on the rail car or in the yard, but at least its here!

 

Question now, how long before it gets to the dealer

This is the situation on lots of things right now and feel bad for people.  But i think a lot of this is dealers not being educated or being upfront.  A lot of them are taking your order and deposits and then blaming GM when in reality they know the situation.  A lot of them are putting them into the system to order knowing they dont have an allocation and then telling the customer hey we ordered it and GM is not taking it.  Instead they should be holding your order and telling you that, and then telling you when they actually input the order with allocation.

      Tire pressure for 37s

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I had an alternator fail that was shorted internally in such a direct fashion in addition to the larger gauge cables that it appeared like a VERY dead battery. Granted I think the car did power up, it definitely wouldn't start.   Rodent damage to wiring?

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      Using experience to justify bad advice is lazy and typical of someone incapable of articulating why their advice is prudent.    This immediately sets off the BS alert and the advice that followed certainly qualified.   Asking an idiot for help getting out of dumb situations because he is an expert... at getting himself into dumb situations.   Unless I've been living in an alternate universe - the first thing everyone does when getting into a sticky situation is shift to a higher gear 🤨.   Of course not, the torque multiplication, mechanical advantage and finer control typically afforded by the lower gear is far better suited for this scenario.   There ARE scenarios where a higher gear MIGHT be appropriate determined more by the drivers ability to control EXCESSIVE wheel spin versus applying torque to the ground.

      I'm not sure I agree with "extreme" low speed, high torque sentiment here with regards to the prescribed use of low range. How about...whenever it's needed?   A 2.72:1 transfer case and whatever differential gears these Silverados have (3.42's, maybe?) aren't producing "extremely" low crawl speeds. Or insanely high torque multiplication. Even with the 1st gear in these newer transmissions. But it does provide mechanical advantage and potentially better control at slower speeds. And with extra weight or towing, I think it adds mechanical sympathy for the truck as well.   Plus, traction control and the other assists generally turn off when you shift into low range. Those aren't needed here, they'll work against you if you need wheel spin. In high range you'll need to figure out how to turn off the various modes those assists provide. Depending on the vehicle, those things don't all automatically turn off or turn completely off.   While I agree that a farmer might have some great practical experience, a recommendation to "always" using one gear isn't very informed advice. If the farmer had said WHY and could explain the physics behind his prescriptive "always" I'd definitely listen. The way he's described here makes it sounds like he could either be uninformed or is telling everyone what worked for him, not necessarily that there could be a more advantageous way about things.
