Yeah, I was hoping I'd sneak in before the ripple effects of the strike hit. Looks like I'm probably screwed/going with Ford (same thing? Lol)

I am hearing rumblings that production likely will slow dramatically or cease in a week or 2 unless a tentative agreement is reached. Whatever units are in repair or shipping should get moved through.

I'm a girl so we're taken for stupid. My dealer told me he had allocation. My patience is running out. I don't think I'd still be at 1100 if he did. There are no constraints as far as I've been told. I'm not far from going with Ford.

Most dealers treat most customers like that, so I don't know that it's necessarily because you're a girl. 

 

That being said, I've personally witnessed that kind of treatment directed towards my wife. She went into a hardware store looking for a specific model chainsaw (she did the talking, I was just there with her) and the guy starts talking to me. My wife knows more than me about power tools and lawn equipment as much as I know more than her about firearms (a lot).

Anyone else waiting 3-4 months on their build with zero movement? Like, no allocation, not picked up by GM, just sitting on the dealer's system twiddling its thumbs?

No sir mine was 70-80 days from time of order to actually being produced. And then shipped out the next day.

So, only about a month before going into production? I must have just ordered from the wrong dealers(s) lol

 

I ordered only about 6 weeks after you did too. ,

I am think that list is a little short,  it was 6 weeks until production.

What dealer did you order from? And, if you don't mind my asking, did you pay MSRP or get a deal?

Don't mind at all.... 

Rivard GMC Tampa FL (I live in SC)

Look at their website, now all the 25/3500 are sold but they do honor the pricing you see... I was at 8% below MSRP.

The dealer here in SC and NC are adding 7k with market adjustments and add-ons. 

So I saved a total 14/15k vs dealers local to me.

Sammy is who you would want to deal with at rivard I can send you his number if you need it.

Mine has been going on for 2 months without even being officially accepted by GM. That's the message. "Your order has been submitted by your dealer but has not officially been accepted by GM at this time.". I spoke to my dealer today and he told me that there’s currently a strike going on at the west houses that manufacture cars. I don't know how true or myth it is, but that was the news I received here in Florida.

Thanks for the info. I had a really bad experience buying a vehicle out of state one time and have been wary of trying that again. 

 

That's also super far for me (I'm in central PA). My best offer came in around there (like $6k off). Couldn't get Ford as low but the equivalent Lariat build to my LTZ was a bit cheaper to begin with. I'm mostly satisfied with the offers, just not with the lack of clear/honest info, and with how long it's taking for anything at all to happen with any of my (GM) orders. 

 

And now the strike so…😩

There wasnt a strike 2 months ago and Flint has been producing over 300 units every shift X 3 shifts and overtime. So a little quick math would say conservatively 1000 per day (its actually around 1100+) x 5 days a week x 8 weeks. Thats 40,000 trucks since you tried to place your order (these are very conservative numbers) so look at that and tell us who you think is BSing you ?

I also ordered from Sammy from Rivard Buick gmc in Tampa. I’m located in northeast Ohio. So it’s going to be a 16 hour drive back when I go to pick it up

    • 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. 
    • That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
