I was looking at some of the available aftermarket gooseneck / 5th wheel mounts... they were estimating 4-5 hours for installation, but I'm guessing that's for a shop that does has all the right tooling on hand and has done it more than zero times before.  And none of the 'user installs' I saw had the fit/finish of the factory package.  It's a little bit of a conundrum, as we don't really *need* that particular option at this time - we're actually getting the truck to haul a slide-in camper.  But a few years down the road, a 5'ver is very likely in our plans.  Hopefully, we'll still have the same truck...

Yeah, probably depends on personal situation. For us, a 5er is a “possibility”but not really something we are planning on. The plan is to keep the bumper pull and add bed rack for hauling kayaks etc. Wasn’t worth waiting on that since a 5er is a big maybe for us. But if it’s definitely in your plan, makes more sense to wait. FWIW my dads been hauling his massive Montana 5er with his truck with aftermarket gooseneck setup with zero problems for years. Makes it easier for me to skip it now in favor of getting the truck sooner. Crazy high value on my trade-in was a motivating factor on wanting the truck sooner too 😅

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

Its definitely more robust than I expected.

What was your order number? I'm trying to see if there's a correlation, mine is CSGMP3. I'm still stuck at scheduled for production(3300) but do not have a build date yet.

When did you order yours?

I got my build date the day it was being built literally the day of.

Do they build the GMCs any other place than Flint? I thought only the Chevy's were built in Canada.

Mine officially made it out of Canada and now its being sitting at the stupid railyard in Baltimore, MD for a week. My Ram last year sat there for 3 weeks before it was delivered, that yard is ridiculous and one of the worst in the nation. On the Ram forum, that is considered the black hole of all train yards.

Ordered from Rivard end of May, ordered was accepted mid June. Went to event code 3300 scheduled for production the last week of June and have been stuck with no TPW since. I ordered a 24 at4 duramax with premium plus package, with 5th wheel package. Reading back on this forum I saw gooseneck is on constraint? I reached out to my dealer and was told it was not on constraint.

Also ordered mine from rivard on 6/20. dealer is saying mine has been accepted but gm's chat box is saying it hasn't. dealer thinks its because of the new law for Florida prohibiting the sale directly to consumers. in other words the order has to go in as dealer stock.

I would ask the dealer if you are at event code 2000 specifically. That code means it was successfully accepted by GM. If you’re at event code 1100, it means the order was placed but GM has not accepted the order yet. On my sheet my sales guy showed me, it showed “Retail Sold” not dealer stock.

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
