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.

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!

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 $97,500/yr and they cannot recruit enough drivers to fill their needs. 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 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

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      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.
