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

    • Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.
    • The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts. 
    • I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.     
    • Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.  
    • The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
