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… Edited September 17, 2023 by Salzette

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…

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. 1

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. Edited September 19, 2023 by JStevie71
64BAwagon Posted September 19, 2023 Posted September 19, 2023 I have not heard of any limits on the L8T gas engine, the L5P diesel however has had some supply issues.
samkopyna Posted September 19, 2023 Posted September 19, 2023 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.

Its possible its still in validation. Sometimes a truck will show in shipping when in fact its been built but its still in validation.

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. 1

I reached out to several dealers and this dealership was local, seemed forthcoming, and had one of the best prices. $2k off MSRP. 20 hours ago, mrtizzom said: Ordered my 3500 Gasser Silverado CCSB on July 10th Order was accepted July 26th Went and watched it be born on August 31st(Had a connection at Flint Assy) Delivered to my dealer approx 10 miles from Flint Assy on Sept 14th Picking it up this Thursday since my schedule has been crazy the past few days lol 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. 1

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.
