Went to a dealer today and he indicated that it could take 6-8 months for an ordered truck to be built. I'm in Canada and they indicated that the dealership allocation is terrible compared to the US; he can only order a few HD/month which is restricted further by color and options. Don't know what the truth is, but I am ready to by a truck and there is sweet F-all to choose from and seems ordering (like I have in the past) is no longer an option. Crazy when a guy is willing to drop $120K (Canadian I know but still) on a truck and can't get what they want.

Well, this change of plan happened today!   Had an LTZ on order, kinda wanted the sport edition but couldn’t order it at the time due to constraint (wasn’t a deal breaker, want not a need).

Definitely some bad experiences ordering a truck. My 2024 AT4 HD is the first vehicle I’ve ever ordered. I sat down with the sales guy and built the truck. He went to the sales manager and came back w

My 2024 HC showed upon at the dealer Saturday.  Ordered it middle of January.  Should be picking it up some time this week.

The first obstacle is finding a dealer that will tell you the truth. Plenty of stories on here about people that were strung along by dealers with no allocations left. 

Mine took 12 weeks and the dealer told e straight up that he wouldnt have an allocation for a couple of weeks. Most of my other trucks (including my other HD's) took between 6-8 wks,  Flint is at full production and their numbers have stayed pretty good through the whole strike. I wouldnt doubt some items are on constraint due to systemic issues in the supply chain. An honest dealer can give you constraint information.  

My only constraint was running/step boards so I left them off and added and aftermarket set that I actually like way better than my previous ones.

Tomorrow I'm going to order my 3500 Ultimate. I'm already scared to hear how long I'll have to wait.

I received confirmation that my order was accepted by GM on 10/19 but I do not have a tentative build date yet. I can update when I get that.

Finally got my email they are building my Truck! Now lets see how long for completion and delivery!

Like @JStevie71 I received the email this morning (11/9) that they are building my truck. I believe this corresponds to event code 3400. Waiting on an update from Laura. So far Im quite happy with the process out of Laura.

 

As much as I like to support local businesses I strongly recommend folks order from a larger dealership if they would like their trucks on a reasonable timeline.

Shipping and logistics is still an issue in Flint. I heard there are around 8000 trucks in the shipping Queue currently. Thats a little over a weeks production thats bottlenecked. The most I have ever seen on a truck was 5 and that looked pretty sketchy, typically there are only 4. Not sure how many fit on the autorack but I know they are limited to only 2 levels.

Ordered my new truck on October 5th. Dealer had an allocation and GM accepted the order. Tentative build date came back 10/30-11/15. I called the dealer this morning and was told 11/18 was showing as the build date. I keep seeing guys post about receiving an email. Does GM send an email when the build starts?

You bet. I signed up for the emails through the help chat on the gm website though.
 

I received the second email (Build started) from gm last week. Subsequently, I chatted with a gm help agent and she told me there is a Tpw of 11/14. I do not have the build complete email yet though. Now that Flint has rejected the contract I’m crossing my fingers my truck makes it to the lot complete before Flint decides to strike.

Not so sure of that, Just got notified mine is on the train out of there.....So says Vin View....  a bout a week from completed to shipping. Not bad at all.

They aren’t shipped purely in order of completion though, they transport in batches based on logistics efficiency. So some people wait a lot longer. Truck I initially ordered sat in the shipping queue in Canada for several weeks. Truck we ended up buying from dealer inventory came the 2 hrs by transporter within 5 days of build completion.

8000 trucks is about a full weeks production.

Ordered a 24 HD/LT April 29th. MN Dealer said it was built in June. Still sitting in Canada!!!  They have tried to sell me other trucks. Ones that have come in and people got tired of waiting for and went else were. Usually High Country's in the $80's. Dont want a HC. Last one took 9 mo to get to dealer.

After the dealership re-ordered my '24 HC in the CORRECT color in September, it only took 8 weeks to drop it at dealership. I've been driving it for a week now!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.

      Some Assembly is Required

      Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install.

      Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.
