Mine was delivered in 3 months and part of that was waiting 2 weeks for my dealer to get an allocation. 
I realize youre a long way from Flint but they are building over 1000 trucks per day across 3 shifts and have been since March. There are dealers around here with 24's on the lots. You might try a dealer in another state and do a fly and drive to pick one up. Although demand has been high and there are a number of constraints they arent quite as rare as your being told. The fact that your dealer doesnt have allocation and doesnt know if or when they will get any might say something about them. 

Yeah they are around. My local dealer has 3 2500’s and 1 3500 available I just looked.

Ordered 7/14

Just got my TPW of 8/28

 

figured as much when we ended up ordering instead of getting an incoming unit, but will likely miss the rest of our camping season by the time it’s in, at least based on the delivery times? On the plus side maybe Costco will do it’s annual $1K rebate starting Oct 1 and the deal will get even sweeter 😂

Same around here. Quite a few dealers in my area and they all have 1-2 2500 and 3500 on lots. Not many, but they are out there and in all trim levels. And a lot incoming unspoken for waiting on delivery from Canada…

We got hard rain about 12 miles South of there but no hail. I have heard reports of hail damage North of Saginaw though. I am sure if theres some damage we will hear about it and the local painless dent guys will be hopping. 

Looks like Davison got hit pretty bad. They are about 8 miles East of the plant. I spoke with someone who was at the plant right after the storm went through and he didnt mention any issues. Not to say that there werent, just that no one seemed concerned. 

From what the local weather guessers said afterwards (the only time their forecasts are accurate) the reports were widely scattered all the way down towards Detroit.

I live less than 10 miles from the plant and it was pretty disappointing. Some decent rain and wind but no hail and not as much lightning and thunder as we were expecting

Friday July 7th

You can always ask the dealer what event code you are in. If you are event code 1100 GM has not officially accepted the order. I too ordered from Rivard, end of May, order was accepted mid June. My sales guy Brien said I am at event code 3300(scheduled for production) on June 29th. I am still waiting for a target production week for mine to be built. I ordered a 24 2500 durmax at4 in onyx Black.

Is there something hinky going on with the build/order system?

 

I worked up a 'build sheet' for what we wanted; previously it listed what MSRP should be for that build with those options.  Now it just says "see dealer for pricing" 🙄

What's even more 'curious' is that the dealer I've been talking to says that *they* couldn't nail down a price - and they went through the build three times, manually, after printing out what I had sent them.

I believe the price has always been tentative until the truck is built and invoiced to the dealer.

I believe once they place the order the order price is locked in. Here is the sheet my dealer sent me when I first placed the order back in May.  Locked me in almost 9k under retail.

I know if there is an option in your build that is on constraint it'll give that "see dealer for pricing" message.

Interesting.  Too bad they don't tell you what that might be right off the bat.

 

So... I emailed the build sheet to another (larger volume) dealer, and the salesperson there believed the constraint was being a double-cab.  So I pulled up another build I had for a crew-cab version... still no price.  Went back to the first screen, yup, there's a price.  Changed it to an LT... still have a price.  Dually, yup.  Add the gooseneck/5th wheel package, plow/camper package and gooseneck completion package... wait a minute, the price disappeared.  Hmmm...

 

Went back removing packages until the price came back.  Apparently the sticking point is the factory gooseneck/5th wheel package - either that, or the spray-in bedliner that is part of it. Tried the same process on the double-cab build... same thing.  Which kind of sucks... but that's stuff I can get added later locally if it means getting the truck in a timely fashion.

On the bottom of my order sheet from GM globalconnect it says 

"North American order workbench is intended solely for business use by GM dealers. Pricing shown is for illustration purposes only. Refer to GMPricing.com for official GM price schedules, GM pricing is subject to change by GM at anytime, without notice" 

 

Although the document I received is formatted differently than the one you posted it contains all the same information.

I believe it’s the gooseneck/fifth wheel prep that’s on constraint at the moment. The spray in bed liner is not, at least as of earlier this week.

 

Like you said, that’s something a hitch shop can do for you later, if it means getting the truck.

If the fifth wheel pkg is truly on constraint I would wait for the truck. The difference between the OEM fifth wheel pkg and an aftermarket setup is pretty big. On the OEM the holes are all cut before paint and bedliner. I also think the 2 crossmembers that are used for the OEM setup add a lot of strength. 

Just my opinion, worth exactly what it cost.

Yeah I’d agree. I’ve been under my truck and looked closely at the set up and it’s very involved looking.

    • The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.                 
    • It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.  
    • They’re not the same wiz as 10-15 years ago.  QC has fallen pretty hard.  The XP line was never good though in the first place.    https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/wix-filter-rusted-through.386492/post-6991372   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/i-ve-used-my-last-wix-filter.27299/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/looking-for-a-better-replacement-for-wix-51258.403977/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/convince-me-in-using-the-purolator-boss.401537/post-7420147   the forums are littered with posts and examples of not great wix filters the last couple years 
    • *Your      
    • I'd guess that it's because they are Mann-Hummel filters since about 2016, they own Wix and are mostly all made in China now.
