Yeah, I saw that this morning and checked my VIN. I’m showing good to go. According to the article though, all trucks in inventory require inspection. I bet that has something to do with my delay, but they didn’t want to say it.

Just checked on gmc’s chat box. My order has officially been accepted and moving towards production (event code 2000). 🎉

Update from dealer this morning, they now project the truck will be ready on Monday. Said they are still waiting on parts for dealer install (I assume z71 floor mats and black bow ties). I guess that I will get to have a productive weekend around the house instead of tinkering with a new truck. 
 

I was able to pull the window sticker this morning. Truck was built in Oshawa for anyone curious. 

So when was your build completed again? Curious how long from build to delivery out of Oshawa…suspect that’s where mine’ll be built in the next couple weeks (TPW 8/28). I know shipping will be anyone’s guess but seeing real life timelines helps pass the waiting game

My truck seems to be following your timeline. They started building mine on Wednesday so I’d assume it’ll be done next week and ship out the following like yours. Did Rivard say how long shipping would take?

16days is what it took there now waiting for me.

I was notified on 20 July that the truck had been built. After reading some other guys’ situations, I don’t think 3 weeks from production to delivery is anything to complain about.

Not at all! I’d be thrilled if ends up being closer to 3 weeks for delivery (rather than 3 months..) 

 

Back to the waiting game!

Thank you, the 24 has the factory steps, AMP research step are great and easy to put on.

I did them alone in a couple hours and they work great.

I have a sudden urge for one of those orange creamsicle ice creams. Not sure why.

    • Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.   
    • I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future. 
    • Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it. 
    • Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me. 
    • $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
