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 my of my (GM) orders. 

 

And now the strike so…😩

6k still real good

Agreed, at least in this market. I got almost $9k off my Ram 1500 just two years ago but I knew I wasn't gonna see that, especially not on an HD truck. 

 

The first offer from the first dealer I spoke with was $3k off and I was even fine with that. Gave me a "bottom line" on a basic spec sheet so I told him to go ahead and put the order through. But then when he gave me the actual build sheet based off the order, there was a $1,500 "Dealer Advertising Adjustment" fee, essentially cutting my discount in half. 

 

"Oh, everyone gets charged that." Yeah right. That's what made me start placing other orders.

SMH these dealers nowadays think we can't get a vehicle with out all these crazy charges and then wonder why their sales are falling off

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?

That sounds like a dealer allocation issue... I am in the same boat, but after asking many questions finally got the answers I needed which were they did not have allocations and there were a bunch of other orders before mine. So call them and ask if they have allocations. A lot of times the folks you are dealing with may not know exactly how the process works and the will need to talk to the GM to find out about allocations. I dont know how the strike is going to change the accepted thing at this point though...

I'm sure that's what it is but I don't know of a way to identify which dealers will get what kinds of allocations. Doesn't help that I've never worked with a GM (or Ford) dealership before so no rapport.

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 ? 

When I was at the plant in Flint watching my truck get built, we were told they build 52 trucks an hour on average. Pretty impressive...and that's just at Flint. Doesn't count all the ones at Oshawa.

How are those Lasfit backup and plate lights working for you ?  I have been considering them.

Anybody have email addresses for sammy at Rivard and a salesperson at Laura? Thinking about reaching out and seeing what kind of time frame they are looking at.

My Ford order production date just got pushed back another week. Second time that's happened. Still no movement on my Chevys. Strike will probably make it so that it's months and months before they even get the parts together to build these things. 

 

I'm about to just get a smaller trailer for my half-ton and call it a day.

    • It's possible the two trucks are using different body control modules which is why yours works and the OP's doesn't.   So much in these newer vehicles depends on model/trim configurations, production date. They don't all use the same modules like back in the day.
    • I forgot to answer the question as per what market mine is set to and yes I finally found that area on mine and yes its also set to America.   So here's something I realized as I wasn't looking at that part in the Sierra section until now, your right that what I see here as choice 3 under Sierra which says 07/2023-06/2026 ( 433 MHz 13542523 ) it has no choice 5 for tire pressure selection. Where as it does under the Chev choice. However I kept going down the list within the Sierra and I am really wondering if choice 9 will work for your truck as it has the same model number and hertz sensor as my truck. I would say try that choice first, if that doesn't work then jump over to the Chev section and again choose that same model and hertz choice as for some reason the Chev section gives the choice 5 of tire type/pressure selection for going back a number of years. Could very well be an Autel thing that they just didn't get the updates all done properly under Sierra but anyway first try that selection 9 I suggested under Sierra and then go from there. 
    • Looking for this piece that holds the hose clamp in place. I have the hose clamp just not that other piece. Dealers and wrecking yards in my area will not sell just that piece. They want you to buy the whole air tube $100 +/- to get that $5 part.  that piece isn't molded to the air tube as I looked at my friends truck. It's held on by a screw and nut. I'm trying to put the OEM parts on the truck as the previous owner butchered things up installing an aftermarket CAI. It really looked homemade. 🤣 Thanks
    • Ok I missed that part that yours is a GM. The strange part is that the choice for year ranges and within the year of 2026 is different on the Sierra then on the Chev for some reason as I am looking at my tool at the Sierra choices. Now I am guessing you see as to your sensor part number as it may be different on your truck for some reason and a call to GM should get you the part model number of the sensors you should have as well as which MHz your sensors are. I know mine are the ones as per what I listed but there are other choices in the Autel and got me wondering if by some chance they put different ones in your truck. Having said that, did you try using each of the choices starting from No 1 and going on down the list, not sure if that would mean shutting off the engine each time and resetting the tool and going at it again each time. Also I thought of something else which may sound retarded but if there was some stupid chance that the chev choice would work. The reason I say that is that the Sierra is showing a range up to 06/2026 for the various choices of sensors it could be where as the Chev has one choice that has that 12/2026. By the way it is possible to not run the truck and you may know that as per not pressing the brake but pressing and holding the start button for a few seconds and it lights up the dash ( its called service mode ) but that sucks battery power and if it were me doing it that way I would be throwing on a decent sized battery charger before doing it that way as killing your battery won't make you happy at me at all !.    Like I say, just a thought to try the Chev choices if you have already exhausted the Sierra choices but first it would be nice to know for sure what exact sensor model and hertz your truck uses as I assume only those choices that mention the sensor would work unless a choice that does not mention the sensor model would somehow work. Its frustrating when one is trying to use tools like this without the experience of the tool and the vehicle, as I am sure dealer techs themselves struggle with it when starting out or a new model year comes along that is slightly different. 
    • I tried before I updated the scan tool just incase an update messed it up, but it never worked so I updated the scan tool and it still didn't work.   Only difference is I click on Sierra not Chevrolet cause I have a Sierra.   If I click on 2026-2024 I didn't have any option to change placard, when I click on 2023 it does give me the option but when I try to do it,.it says vehicle not supported!   I have my region or market or whatever it is set to America I think, is that what yours is set to?
