Steering column lock won’t be retrofitted.

 

There is no information about when retrofits for the other items will happen, probably next year sometime. 
 

BTW, you call them options, they aren’t.

It's the chip shortage thingy my new ZL1 came in but only needed the heated steering wheel s a later retrofit so I am lucky I guess as where I live it won't ever see winter weather anyway,

Man, I understand that sometimes you just have to do what you gotta do, but I just can’t see myself paying for or accepting a partially built vehicle.  Especially not at the level of dollars these trucks cost.  I feel for ya.  I am so glad I went ahead and got my ‘21 instead of waiting like I contemplated.  Hopefully this crap will be sorted out before I need a new vehicle.

So you get a Credit , WHO payes for the Retrofit ????   BUY a Trucks with all the Parts .

The credit is a "we're sorry" deal. You don't pay for the retrofit. GM will notify you when they have the parts to install. The lower trim level trucks are the ones they're keeping the parts out of. All the Denali's and AT4X's have all their parts. GMC is now even out of parts for the multi pro tailgates! I thought that was their selling point was it was standard on all GMC's but there's a couple at my local dealer that are Elevation trim and have a credit for no Multi Pro tailgate, which CAN'T be retrofitted later!

Credit is for the inconvenience of taking it back so they can do the retrofit.

There is no published promise of when this might happen.

front and rear sensors 
 

First thing I disabled. I need my truck acting on it’s own like I need another insurance policy. No thanks. I’ll pay attention when I pilot 2.5 tons through public spaces at rapid speed. I even love the cover craft dash mat that covers that stupid hud red light and also eliminating the ridiculously unsafe amount of dash reflection and glare off windshield these trucks give. Wouldn’t sweat these sensors much, sounds like a bonus miss to me. 
 

get reliant on this shizzo and it will cost you, there’s a reason the seats vibe now when you back up and those sensors go off, before it was only beepers and if you had stereo too loud and just watched one mirror backing in you could get screwed, and welcome to my last accident in past however long without...never again, use all mirrors and back up camera, the sensors can go fack themselves, he liability is on you so best limit your reliance on those aids

 

heck even the factory drivers side mirror on my custom came with the built in convex but framed in, two instances where that frame had a gap that a vehicle could hide in and the convex wouldn’t show parking stall lines well, so ordered the non convex mirror and put my own 3” convex on like I do all vehicles and no more issues for both seeing people or lines. On nee flat mirror the top outside corner is where that car symbol lights up on higher trims to say don’t move lanes lol...the 3” convex covers it perfectly lol. I love how we always try to make things better and fack it up lol, but hey $2.50 at auto parts store can’t possibly be as good as the sensors and lights right?😉

    • Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

    • Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
