This is all crazy, mine was built and then shipped to Florida in 16 days.

Picked it up last week

 

Madness I tell ya

Posted

Hello from Texas, New to the forum here. Ordered a 2024 Chev 2500 on Aug.10th.   Very basic, Work Truck, Double Cab, 4WD, Skid plates, roof lights, and 18" steel wheels.  A little back story, I ordered a Ford f-250 [same options] , on Nov. 17th 2022.   I cancelled the order 9 Months later, when I found out it wasn't going to be built. 9 months, no truck, and was told to change my order to a 2024, and add about $1000.00. On top of that I had to make quite a few phone calls/emails to get my deposit back. I'm not happy with Ford, or the dealer. I'm looking forward to this new Chevy. It would be nice to have it by Christmas, but I'm not desperate.  My last Chevy was a 1955 [1st series] 6400 firetruck. My current truck is a 2011 Toyota Tacoma, 4 door, 4WD with only 71,000 miles, I put a UTE aluminum flatbed on it about 5-6 years ago. I really like the flatbed, I'm going to have CM flatbed installed on this new Chevy. The Toyota has been a dream to own, go wherever I want, never gave me a problem, BUT.... after 12 years I just want something new. Plus, I told my wife I was going to look at new trucks, and said, "You should get whatever you want". I sure do like my wife.

I ordered the basic WT, regular cab, summit white, 4x4, cloth seats, no options. Just what every single fleet buyer would order. Ordered June 9th. Still waiting for Chevy to give an allocation to my dealer. It’s discouraging to read about Chevy already building other peoples trucks even before mine is picked up byChevy. It’s an insane business model. I’m going to pay with cash, and, it’s gone up $1000 since I’ve ordered.

It appears that GM only wants to build crew cabs. So good luck. I've had a double cab ordered since Feb 6th. Finally got an allocation on June 30th. But it still doesn't have a build date. With the looming strike, I don't expect to see the truck this year now. As long as your order was placed as a sold unit in your name, the price at the time you ordered should be locked in if that makes you feel any better.

Anyone else place any orders for 2024 GMC Sierra's HD?
Placed an order with robideaux Motors in Idaho and told there are over 30 orders ahead of me.
Truck was put into system but not accepted in Beginning of August they are saying I may get allocation come end of September.

What are you guys seeing out there?

Got a quick question for you. Roughly how long was it after your order went to production code 3400 that it was actually built. The reason I ask is because Sammy is saying I’m at 3400 but no production week. Was just wondering if this was the case with yours as well. Thanks

Well points to them for being up front about how many orders were ahead of you and not having an allocation yet. Not all dealers are up front.

 

I ordered a Chevy. Although I ended up later buying a different one.

 

but timeline was:

7/10 ordered - dealer already had an available allocation for my desired trim level

7/17 assigned TPW of 8/28

9/8 Built and awaiting shipment from Oshawa. (But that was with some help from the inside at GM…word is they were running 4-6 weeks behind from TPWs at least at Oshawa). 

So timing overall wasn’t bad…key was having an available allocation. But then my Red Hot Z71 sport package showed up available and the dark ash metallic chrome LTZ I ordered didn’t seem as fun…

 

Timelines are probably out the window right now though depending on what happens with a likely strike starting in a few days…

On the order sheet my dealer sent me there is an allocation group number. Im assuming this means they had an available allocation. 

If anyone is in the upstate NY area, Capitaland GMC has a truly honest, helpful staff. This will be my 4th new rig from them.

I have always felt it was important to develop a relationship with a dealer that most closely shares your values. I have been buying vehicles from the same dealer (with the exception of the 2 I bought from the local dealer that my son worked at for 3 yrs) since 1990. The salesperson I have dealt with has sold my family well over 15 vehicles. I usually only have to tell him the color and the powertrain of the truck I want to order and he knows the rest. I have never once given him a deposit when ordering. It just makes things so much easier.

Dealer reached out to me this afternoon, I supposedly have a TPW of this week so hopefully the strike doesn't effect it too much. 

 

Also it seems as if the Gm bot is a couple days behind as far as updates. anyone else have similar findings?

    • www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.
    • Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.         
    • I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far. 
    • I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install. 
    • Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.
