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.

    • when it's greyed out that is it's way of telling you that it's downloading the patch in the background. Eventually it will be fully downloaded and then it will prompt you at ignition shut down to run the update. I highly recommend doing the update once you get home and can run it a few times. I've had several issues with updates not going the first time around and I had to retry the update multiple times in my driveway before it was successful.   Some updates are huge and take awhile to download. You can help it by connecting to your home WiFi and keep the truck on service mode for the ignition and keep it alive for awhile on a battery charger too. There are specs it needs to be in for updating such as a full enough battery charge, no running ignition, etc.
    • I am not techy at all but wondered if you have the truck running but sitting still in park as some functions gray out as soon as the truck is moving. I believe in the settings for updates you can choose for it NOT to update and I wonder by chance if maybe that was chosen before and now it won't allow you to chose to press update, I think that is back in the settings menu where it has all the items one wants on or off etc. Also I assume you have a wifi connection and checked that it has some signal strength, not that it would have anything to do with the grayed out updates choice in that case. What I am thinking out loud of here may be be of no value but thought I would suggest it, sometimes it can be the simplest thing that resolves an issue.  
    • The so called rare failure that some certainly liked to tout ( die hard Ford fan boys ) as per the lifter failing and wiping out the cam. Back when it started happening the blame was being pointed to the lifters and honestly I never did hear anything myself conclusively one way or the other on that. Ford themselves in I believe 2024 had a technical bulletin I will call it that came out and for some engine platforms they were reprograming the engines idle speed but also they had a software update for the oil pump which then some time later was said what that software update did as to be increasing the oil pressure at idle. It is a good question if that issue was completely solved as one Ford specialist mechanic youtuber said he saw failures after that time period. Like anything there would be the variables, what oil is being used and the OCI and how much idle time gets put on an engine. I've seen some comments to claim that the L8T isn't so happy with high idle time either but I also know that companies that require their vehicle to idle a lot on the job don't tend to get the oil changed often enough for all those hours of idle time and go off of the odometer. 
    • My 2026 Silv. 1500 WT (reg cab/short bed/4wd) has the 40/20/40 with storage in lower middle seat as well as the fold-down center bolster/armrest.   With the dual glove boxes this is about as much storage as possible in a std cab IMHO. Bill
    • I have a 2026 base 1500 "WT" regular cab with basic Chevy "Infotainment 3" 7-inch screen/radio. How many speakers do I have If I want to upgrade? Is the audio amp separate from the radio/display unit]? [I listen to classical and it gets a bit raspy at slightly higher volumes. Don't need a sub etc.] Do I have two or 1 speakers in the doors? etc. Thanks Bill  San Jose
