Mine was delivered in 3 months and part of that was waiting 2 weeks for my dealer to get an allocation. 
I realize youre a long way from Flint but they are building over 1000 trucks per day across 3 shifts and have been since March. There are dealers around here with 24's on the lots. You might try a dealer in another state and do a fly and drive to pick one up. Although demand has been high and there are a number of constraints they arent quite as rare as your being told. The fact that your dealer doesnt have allocation and doesnt know if or when they will get any might say something about them. 

Yeah they are around. My local dealer has 3 2500’s and 1 3500 available I just looked.

Ordered 7/14

Just got my TPW of 8/28

 

figured as much when we ended up ordering instead of getting an incoming unit, but will likely miss the rest of our camping season by the time it’s in, at least based on the delivery times? On the plus side maybe Costco will do it’s annual $1K rebate starting Oct 1 and the deal will get even sweeter 😂

Same around here. Quite a few dealers in my area and they all have 1-2 2500 and 3500 on lots. Not many, but they are out there and in all trim levels. And a lot incoming unspoken for waiting on delivery from Canada…

We got hard rain about 12 miles South of there but no hail. I have heard reports of hail damage North of Saginaw though. I am sure if theres some damage we will hear about it and the local painless dent guys will be hopping. 

Looks like Davison got hit pretty bad. They are about 8 miles East of the plant. I spoke with someone who was at the plant right after the storm went through and he didnt mention any issues. Not to say that there werent, just that no one seemed concerned. 

From what the local weather guessers said afterwards (the only time their forecasts are accurate) the reports were widely scattered all the way down towards Detroit.

I live less than 10 miles from the plant and it was pretty disappointing. Some decent rain and wind but no hail and not as much lightning and thunder as we were expecting

Friday July 7th

You can always ask the dealer what event code you are in. If you are event code 1100 GM has not officially accepted the order. I too ordered from Rivard, end of May, order was accepted mid June. My sales guy Brien said I am at event code 3300(scheduled for production) on June 29th. I am still waiting for a target production week for mine to be built. I ordered a 24 2500 durmax at4 in onyx Black.

Is there something hinky going on with the build/order system?

 

I worked up a 'build sheet' for what we wanted; previously it listed what MSRP should be for that build with those options.  Now it just says "see dealer for pricing" 🙄

What's even more 'curious' is that the dealer I've been talking to says that *they* couldn't nail down a price - and they went through the build three times, manually, after printing out what I had sent them.

I believe the price has always been tentative until the truck is built and invoiced to the dealer.

I believe once they place the order the order price is locked in. Here is the sheet my dealer sent me when I first placed the order back in May.  Locked me in almost 9k under retail.

I know if there is an option in your build that is on constraint it'll give that "see dealer for pricing" message.

Interesting.  Too bad they don't tell you what that might be right off the bat.

 

So... I emailed the build sheet to another (larger volume) dealer, and the salesperson there believed the constraint was being a double-cab.  So I pulled up another build I had for a crew-cab version... still no price.  Went back to the first screen, yup, there's a price.  Changed it to an LT... still have a price.  Dually, yup.  Add the gooseneck/5th wheel package, plow/camper package and gooseneck completion package... wait a minute, the price disappeared.  Hmmm...

 

Went back removing packages until the price came back.  Apparently the sticking point is the factory gooseneck/5th wheel package - either that, or the spray-in bedliner that is part of it. Tried the same process on the double-cab build... same thing.  Which kind of sucks... but that's stuff I can get added later locally if it means getting the truck in a timely fashion.

On the bottom of my order sheet from GM globalconnect it says 

"North American order workbench is intended solely for business use by GM dealers. Pricing shown is for illustration purposes only. Refer to GMPricing.com for official GM price schedules, GM pricing is subject to change by GM at anytime, without notice" 

 

Although the document I received is formatted differently than the one you posted it contains all the same information.

I believe it’s the gooseneck/fifth wheel prep that’s on constraint at the moment. The spray in bed liner is not, at least as of earlier this week.

 

Like you said, that’s something a hitch shop can do for you later, if it means getting the truck.

If the fifth wheel pkg is truly on constraint I would wait for the truck. The difference between the OEM fifth wheel pkg and an aftermarket setup is pretty big. On the OEM the holes are all cut before paint and bedliner. I also think the 2 crossmembers that are used for the OEM setup add a lot of strength. 

Just my opinion, worth exactly what it cost.

Yeah I’d agree. I’ve been under my truck and looked closely at the set up and it’s very involved looking.

    • Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions? 
    • 2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!  
    • Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?. 
    • He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it. 
    • I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
