Did the dealer happen to mention potentially how much time this could add to the whole process?

They said the timeframe was TBD.  So i changed my order to a standard bed.  I am just sick of waiting.

Just to reinforce that Atlanta is total Ford country, I actually took the time today on my backroad (not really backroad just not interstate) 10 mile journey to work.  Here's the actual tally counting HD's only....10 Fords, 2 Rams....0 Chevy or GMC.  On the way home today I actually saw 1 GMC HD...So yeah, Atlanta is Ford country for sure.  But I love that because I do love owning a truck that isn't seen a million times everyday by others.  When it comes to half tons, Ford wins but I also see quite a few GM's too.  But Ford rules the HD market here hands down!

That’s true in my area. The heavy duty trucks and fleets are Ford dominated. I’m seeing more Rams in the 1/2 ton arena. The SUVs lean GM with Hyundai becoming more prevalent within the last couple of years.

I am starting to see a few std cab long beds on lots around here. They have been building over 1000 trucks per day in Flint since right after the full launch and it seems like they have gotten through the initial flood of orders. I ended up getting my truck much earlier than I anticipated. It looks like they are starting to build out the models that arent crew cab std bed in bigger numbers.

I originally ordered a 23' High Country Duramax back in October. At the end of February my dealer said it got converted to a 2024 and if I still wanted that. I said yes, but change it to a Midnight Edition, so they did. That decision was made 3/2.

 

On 5/3, they also ordered me the exact truck but a non-midnight edition thinking it may come sooner.

 

Every few days I check with the chevy website chatbox and give them my order numbers and I always get the same response. Dealer placed it, not accepted at this time.

 

I did order it from a high volume dealer.

I was also told that the midnight edition was on constraint and production time was unknown. Now I see my exact build (a midnight) in transit to a small town dealer an hour away.

 

Just getting tired of waiting, so I'm complaining ha!

Got a call from the dealer, crew cab long box configuration is now on constraint 

I had the same conversation.  Dealer said they finally had allocation for my order but Crew Cab Long Bed was on constraint.  They said they could push my order through now if I switched to Standard Bed.  I decided to wait for now.

Originally ordered an LT gasser crew cab long box, 12/20/23, sometime in April dealer said they had a slot and could do everything but long box,  I said go with it as I wanted the truck asap.   Two weeks ago they called and said they had kept the order in for the long box and it was actually being built also.  Both are in transit now and it looks like the long box will arrive sooner anyway as the standard box is coming from Oshawa.

According to the Chevy chat box, my order was built last week, so now its the waiting game to see which plant it was built at and when it will ship.

Changed my mind again.  Still no acceptance of my order.   So i decided to take one that the dealer had coming in for inventory.  It is built and sitting in flint waiting for transport.  The only thing it is missing from my build is the Z71 pkg and the multi flex tailgate, which i am ok doing without.

Ordered a 2024 Sierra HD Denali.

Deposit to dealer 3/2/2023

Order Accepted 3/15/2023

Window Sticker Produced 5/24/2023

Vehicle on Train From Flint Michigan to Washington DC 6/8/2023

Estimated ETA at Dealer 6/16/2023

New ETA 07/15/2023

 

The dealer who charged me full sticker at $80,000 forgot to order the optional wheels that I picked out.

The price of the wheels at time of order showed $798 for 4 on the website.  Now they show $3500.

I told them I wouldn't accept the truck without the wheels.  They have supposedly ordered them at their expense but now I'll have a truck sitting at the dealer for several weeks waiting on the wheels.

That stinks, but at least they are ordering them at their expense and you get what you wanted. I'm just hoping something breaks loose at the Oshawa plant for Chevy's and they can start shipping them out. My dealer currently has 8 sitting up there, including mine waiting for delivery.

    • www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.
    • Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.         
    • I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far. 
    • I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install. 
    • Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.
