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.

Mine sat there for a week then went 2030 which is order re-edit for four more weeks

1100 Preliminary order accepted.

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.

    • Thanks - I wasn't quite caffeinated this morning. 2:1 makes sense, turning the crankshaft 360 degrees will turn the cam 180 degrees, and had I done that, the cam's dot would be at 6 and the crank's at 12 again.   I went ahead and took the sprocket off anyway, aligned everything dot-to-dot including the balance shaft just for s&g. I'm glad I did because I discovered no Loctite on the timing sprocket bolts. Maybe it's not required, but at only 20 ft-lb torque spec, those bolts aren't in there very tight. Cleaned and reassembled with some thread locker and torqued.   A general observation: Less is more with RTV. If a little doesn't stop a leak, a LOT probably won't, either. RTV is thinly veiled revenge, in a tube...      
    • The timing marks are ok, that is #1, you can turn it over until they line up and it won't change anything, the crankshaft turns twice for every camshaft revolution, I have always set up SB Chevs as your pic shows using a straight edge
    • Someone's been here before.... There is a receipt for a 3-piece timing set, purchased earlier this year.   Is this picture something, or, nothing?   I have the timing cover off and my crank is perfectly TDC and the keyed gear's locating mark is dead on 12 o'clock.   The cam gear locating mark is also at 12 o'clock. Now, I'm not an expert, but all the install guides say the two locating marks should meet and be perfectly aligned when installing a timing set. The mark on the crank should be dead on 12:00 and the cam gear's mark should be dead on 6:00, and both marks should be perfectly vertically aligned.   I believe the timing gear is keyed or has a dowel that ensures it can only be installed on the cam in one position, so I have to believe the cam is out of phase somehow. At the very least, with a triangular bolt pattern, it can only be installed in one of 3 different positions.   Before I pulled the front cover, the truck was running alright, no service engine soon lights except an occasional P0172 / rich condition. Timing -16 timing at idle (should be +16), and total -35% fuel trim, two conditions I haven't been able to figure out.   In related news, my injector tested pretty well, wasn't leaking, but I had it rebuilt anyway, and it's on it's way back to me.         Along with this discovery, the good and bad:   Good: The oil pan seal appears undamaged.   Bad: -The timing cover has been reused, and the positioning dowels have been broken. That could explain some of the leaking. -Some kind of white paste or grease was used to try to seal the oil pan seal and timing cover (since wiped off..). -Then, someone globbed silicone all over the front of the cover and also buried the ckp sensor in it. But, they didn't put any inside the cover or use RTV to try to seal the oil pan seal with the timing cover (good).
    • 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.
