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?

 

FB

My order was done the week of July 10 and accepted within a week by my dealer (had the allocation), for a gas 2500 LTZ. It was built just a couple weeks ago. Gas trucks are popping up all over in inventory (either available or sold orders) around my area. 3500s gas too. I’d be highly suspect of him saying no one can order gas?

 

edit: unless for some reason it is on constraint? Do they even ever put a whole engine type on constraint? If so, I’d imagine that’d only be temporary…

I had the same thoughts. It seems suspect to me. He told me he did not have the allocation immediately after I ordered (which I was initially fine with) but has claimed the last 3-4 weeks he was unable to place the order saying “there are only 18 gas available in the us”. 4 weeks seems a long time to have an allocation but only for a diesel. He did show me a screen in his system that seemed to indicate this but it’s hard to say. Thanks for your thoughts. Depending on what others say I may check some other dealers.

Well a plus in his favor seems to be that he’s been very up front with you about having/not having allocation. There are many dealers that will dodge revealing that info. It’d be interesting to hear if someone knows they really are that limited on ordering gas right now…

Agreed. He seems to be very transparent with me so far which is why I haven’t started looking for another dealer already. I’ll give it through Thursday when he checks availability and go from there.

I talked to my Dealer and they said they might have allocation within couple weeks for my order go thru all the way. No mention  of not taking gas orders, but then again everything I have had to find out from them I have had to drill down with the questions. Not really forthcoming... Only reason I am playing the game is they have a great price.

How is everyone making out with their delivery times after truck is built? I have 3500HD crew cab DRW sitting waiting for a carrier from Flint since August 8th. No word on when it will get tramsported yet.

Are you sure its been released for shipping ?  Its possible its still in validation. Sometimes a truck will show in shipping when in fact its been built but its still in validation.

Now youre just bragging. LOL

I was trying to get a tour the day mine was supposed to be built but 2 wks before the build date my connection looked into the schedule and saw it was built that day. Funny part was he recalled having his hands on that truck in validation. It took 15 days for mine to get to Clio rd on the North side.

I am also getting a pretty good price. I reached out to several dealers and this dealership was local, seemed forthcoming, and had one of the best prices. $2k off MSRP.

Agreed this is bragging for sure! ha! Congrats on getting your ride so fast, its awesome you got to see it built on top of it all.

 

In the end I expected to wait 6 months so perhaps this dealership is still on track.

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?

Just got notified truck has been built. And awaiting shipping. We’re getting close.

    • 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 
    • Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.       
    • We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper. 
    • Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money". 
    • I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.
