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.

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
