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. 

Mine was 5 weeks from scheduled to production week then built in 1 week

Really excited for my new build as this is my first truck I have ever custom built / ordered and this my first HD.  Put in an order with my dealership for a 2024 Silverado 2500 LTZ back in March, however something was always constrained all the way until 06-13-23.

Is there a way for the customer to get a status on the build besides going to the dealer?  I want to get an update, but I feel like I have already contacted my dealer WAY too much :D

Unless you know someone who has access to the people in production scheduling your dealer is your only source. 

 

Someone asked earlier about which plant built the GMC models, Last I was told was that Oshawa only built Chevys and there may or may not have been a constraint on which cab+bed configs also. Essentially Oshawa gets a very popular variety of the truck and Flint builds them all. I was told that ALL of the GMC's came out of Flint. Unless Its changed in the last couple of months (I havent heard)

Update!

 

Just got a call from the dealer, the truck, a diesel 2500 LTZ, is finally on a train from Flint to Oregon, currently in Indiana. fwiw it was built in late May.

My build week is 7/31.  Sounds like I will have my 3500 Duramax Ultimate SWR mid-August based on shipping time for other folks.

Did Sammy happen to mention to you why your order had to be edited?

After hearing from other on here that 5th wheel prep is on constraint, and no word back on whether crew cab long bed is off of constraint. its looking like probably November or December before I take delivery.

Didn't ask, he sent me a page with order update and it said that on it let me see if I can put copy up here of how it went.

All updates were on Wednesday within about 5 minutes of each other.

The dealer has placed the order but GM has not accepted it into their system. Either the dealer is waiting on allocation to place the order or GM is waiting on parts for your order before the accept it. Mine sat at 1100 for about a 2 weeks. Here’s a list of the codes. https://www.at4forum.com/threads/list-of-event-codes-and-how-to-obtain-them-new-orders.414/

I just called the GMC customer service number rather than doing the chat. The customer service rep told me I have a TPW for 7/31. I asked my dealer and he said he doesn’t see a TPW…wonder who is right.

Just got the email from GM my truck is being built. Funny how the customer service lady I spoke with on the phone told me TPW was for this week and the dealer said he didn’t know the date on his end. So from my experience, call GM customer service phone number to get updates.

This info should have been made available through the chat bot we shouldn't have to call.. pick up the game GM comeon now.

Congrats on the build date.

We live in a world where now information is available online 24/7. The vehicle order process is exactly the same as it was 35 yrs ago when I first started ordering trucks rather than buying off the lot. Add to that a new model thats in high demand and its a recipe for frustration. GM needs to rethink how they provide information to buyers but its also likely that some dealers dont necessarily embrace that. When I ordered my truck in February I knew my dealer didnt have an allocation at that time. Many people dont get that kind of transparency with their dealer. a couple weeks after I ordered they assigned an allocation. The truck was originally scheduled for May 18th but ended up being built 2 weeks earlier on May 4th. I firmly believe that a high percentage of the misinformation comes from the dealers sandbagging people. I cant prove it but my BS detector goes off regularly. 

 

Theres a new YT video from Steve Lehto that talks about ordered vehicles and some of the games that dealers play. 

Things are rarely as they seem.

    • I tried tapping it.  This might sound like a dumb question, you should feel vibration or some type of noise when it turns on? Can someone please verify? Thank you all!
    • I feel better now for my own view point and actions or lack there of towards the dealership service theme reading your post and others. GM corporate is who offers the two free oil changes on the HD trucks and I bought my truck in Feb of 2025 and those oil change offers run out within 2 years I believe and I highly doubt I will be using either one of them. I had asked if I could officially give those free services to another customer ( a friend ) and they said no, its all a GM corporate thing based on the vehicle in question. What that service advisor did however was go into a little story about how such and such customer was denied engine warranty because he had done his own oil changes because then they are not documented ... you see where that goes and so an employee playing the game of scaring the customer into having the service work done there most certainly triggered my thought process. At a later date I did talk to the person who handles warranty claims at the dealership and she said to be sure to document the oil changes and keep receipts for the oil and filter ( coped the receipts from cases of Mobil oil and case of filters I bought from them ) and the vehicles VIN, the date of service, mileage etc and staple that together as a record I would give them if that was ever needed and I keep my own log book for services for each vehicle as well. Oh and about 8 months after I bought the truck the dealer starts calling me to offer a maintenance service since they haven't seen my vehicle show up on their system ... for the mere fee of 300.00 Canadian to change the oil and rotate the tires and a few other minor checks and I declined the offer, I get the call again a couple of months later for the same thing and she could tell I was not interested and she asked if they should take my name off the call list and I said yes, do that !.    By the way did you happen to keep your factory oil filter to open it up and see the surprises inside as I expect some will show up as per the odd little sliver of metal shaving and particles that the filter does trap along with bits of grey silicone sealer that come off of the inside edge of mating surfaces. I have cut open every filter so far on my truck although few miles but have changed the oil often and the second filter was vastly better with very little of anything, that first filter was the unsettling one as I expected it would be. 
    • I get why they do this…but man…not ideal. I only extract on inboard boat engines because the drains are buried and even then I hate it because it’s easy to leave a quart behind with that method.   They should market it as an “oil refresh” not oil change!
    • I only get oil changed where I can watch. Valvoline pulls through the dipstick into a see thru glass. When done they show me the dipstick. About the only way they can mess up is using the wrong oil. But that secret wouldn’t stay secret long. Honda uses TQ wrenches on everything. You can watch through a plate glass window. Discount tires does that with tires. Trust but verify. 
    • I would not argue that with you. It would be pointless to argue against the truth and you speak the truth.    My question and in fact the entire point of this thread is an exploration into the levers of wear which happens no matter how well we maintain our powertrains.    Some of these levers we exert a good deal of influence over which can and do result is lower wear, longer powertrain life. Some others we are sort of stuck with.    An engine is typically done when the ring to bore seal no longer is able to do the job effectively. Normally the first thing to go in a engine otherwise well maintained and adult driven is this seal.    Looking into the means, methods, products and attitudes that influence the rate of wear seems a worthwhile inquiry to me.
