My truck was built during the week of 7/31 in Flint.  It is still waiting to be shipped.  The expected date is literally listed as Sept - Dec 2023.  Dealer says he has several trucks waiting for delivery to Rochester NY.  Anyone else having the same issue?  Anyone know why there is a hold up?

Any idea what determines if a silverado 2500hd is built in Flint or Oshawa?

Hi yall,

Placed my order  Aug 17.....2024 Silverado  2500HD High Country Midnight Edition gasser. Got my order number that day. Not accepted yet by GM. 

Congratulations. Hate to say it but be prepared to wait especially with the likely good of the strike. Since Order times will likely significantly increase

3500 Denali Ultimate Duramax SRW long box built 8/1 just arrived at the dealer today.  Left Flint MI around 9:00am and arrived here in Rochester NY at 4:45pm (tracked it with OnStar location alerts).  Pick it up tomorrow!

 

Official delivery date stayed "Oct-Dec 23" until the day it shipped I think.  Dealer said that has been pretty typical.

How do you track it with the Onstar?

Once you have a vin the dealer can track the vehicle if they choose to.

I had my dealer setup my OnStart account since I had a VIN number.  Only drawback is that the clock starts ticking on the "free" period.  Once setup you can use the map function of the myGMC app.  I setup a Location Alert on the vehicle and I got a notice when the vehicle left the location indicated.  Make the circle as small as you can as they moved my truck from one area of the lot to another just before it actually left.  Good indication it's about to go.  That was about a week for me.  Was pretty cool to watch it travel from Flint to my dealer.  I knew when it arrived before they did.  Picked it up yesterday.  Pretty awesome truck so far.  Very happy with it.

At first, Oshawa was only building certain popular configurations of the Chevy, while Flint built GMC and all configurations of Chevy. Not sure if that’s still true.

Oshawa can only build crew cab standard bed chevys 2500 and 3500.  Oshawa is limit on some of chevy options as well.  They currently can't build z71 sports there.

Hi gents

 

I put an order in for a 2024 SLT 3500 CCSB with the 6.6 gas back at the end of July with a local dealer. At this point he is telling me that he has had the allocation but GM isn’t allowing him or any dealer in the us to place an order for gas trucks right now. Can anyone with a gas truck on order corroborate this?

    • Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol    
    • You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !
    • This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.  
    • My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page
