Not a ton of call vs the shorter bed plus they only build those in flint. 

That is something I did not know.  I thought they also built long beds in Oshawa.

I heard that on here and also on truck king YouTube channel they had to go see their truck being built in flint because it was a long bed and they live up in Canada.

All my previous trucks were built in Flint, but my '22 & '24 were built in Canada, or at least it stated "Final Destination", which my salesman said that is where they do the spray-in bedliners. No more "Proudly Made In Flint, Michigan" stickers on my doors.

Your salesman was being a salesman and smoothing you over making it seem like it just had a Bedliner sprayed in Canada. Is that was they were trying to say? That’s bogus if so. Flint building flint. Oshawa built at that plant. 
 

he probably lost sales for guys only wanting a truck built here.

I just thought all HD 2500's were built in Flint, but apparently not. I'd rather them be built in Flint, but don't care that it was built in Canada, north of the border better than south of the border...

Really appreciate ya’ll for the knowledge and responsiveness on this site!

 

Had some serious issues with my dealer…didn’t want to let me order one and instead wait to source one in the tri state / surrounding area.

 

Sub optimal communication…like folks have forgotten to simply do what they said they’ll do / when they said they’ll do it.

 

Got lucky and about a month after first dealer visit (mid-JAN)…took custody (today) of this 2500 Ultimate in rush metallic. IMG_3583.thumb.jpeg.3aa8d5d909b116f95a2d970531341895.jpeg Came in from somewhere out of state…built in Flint.

 

Has gooseneck and snow plow package 

 

New blacked out wheels (20 in), tailgate stereo and all weather floor mats installed next week. 
 

May over time…work some other mods but for now…just happy to have replaced the 2007 Tacoma Access Cab after 17 years.

 

Cheers

    • Well that book won't sell many copies. Taking ones right foot off the loud pedal never gets applause. Funny really, It isn't that people don't know what to do...they just don't want to do it. But they will complain about it. About bad craftsmanship, about the cost of fuel, about the cost of part and repairs and mainly they complain that the solution while still possible isn't one they are willing to do.    I observe this daily. 'Gas cost to much!", they wail, while they mat it passing at 80+ mpg and scoot down the road like gas cost a dime a gallon. Then complain about the few that will lift and save both fuel and iron like they are owed and own the road.    Good thing they haven't an ounce of influence on my equipment. The rest I just laugh at. Stupid is as stupid does, right Forest?     
    • Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.  
    • Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!
    • I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.
