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.

    • Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.       
    • We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper. 
    • Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money". 
    • I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back. 
    • That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
