Ordered from Rivard end of May, ordered was accepted mid June. Went to event code 3300 scheduled for production the last week of June and have been stuck with no TPW since. I ordered a 24 at4 duramax with premium plus package, with 5th wheel package. Reading back on this forum I saw gooseneck is on constraint? I reached out to my dealer and was told it was not on constraint. 

Mine was 5 weeks from scheduled to production week then built in 1 week

Really excited for my new build as this is my first truck I have ever custom built / ordered and this my first HD.  Put in an order with my dealership for a 2024 Silverado 2500 LTZ back in March, however something was always constrained all the way until 06-13-23.

Is there a way for the customer to get a status on the build besides going to the dealer?  I want to get an update, but I feel like I have already contacted my dealer WAY too much :D

Unless you know someone who has access to the people in production scheduling your dealer is your only source. 

 

Someone asked earlier about which plant built the GMC models, Last I was told was that Oshawa only built Chevys and there may or may not have been a constraint on which cab+bed configs also. Essentially Oshawa gets a very popular variety of the truck and Flint builds them all. I was told that ALL of the GMC's came out of Flint. Unless Its changed in the last couple of months (I havent heard)

Update!

 

Just got a call from the dealer, the truck, a diesel 2500 LTZ, is finally on a train from Flint to Oregon, currently in Indiana. fwiw it was built in late May.

My build week is 7/31.  Sounds like I will have my 3500 Duramax Ultimate SWR mid-August based on shipping time for other folks.

Mine sat there for a week then went 2030 which is order re-edit for four more weeks

1100 Preliminary order accepted.

Did Sammy happen to mention to you why your order had to be edited?

After hearing from other on here that 5th wheel prep is on constraint, and no word back on whether crew cab long bed is off of constraint. its looking like probably November or December before I take delivery.

Didn't ask, he sent me a page with order update and it said that on it let me see if I can put copy up here of how it went.

All updates were on Wednesday within about 5 minutes of each other.

The dealer has placed the order but GM has not accepted it into their system. Either the dealer is waiting on allocation to place the order or GM is waiting on parts for your order before the accept it. Mine sat at 1100 for about a 2 weeks. Here’s a list of the codes. https://www.at4forum.com/threads/list-of-event-codes-and-how-to-obtain-them-new-orders.414/

I just called the GMC customer service number rather than doing the chat. The customer service rep told me I have a TPW for 7/31. I asked my dealer and he said he doesn’t see a TPW…wonder who is right.

Just got the email from GM my truck is being built. Funny how the customer service lady I spoke with on the phone told me TPW was for this week and the dealer said he didn’t know the date on his end. So from my experience, call GM customer service phone number to get updates.

This info should have been made available through the chat bot we shouldn't have to call.. pick up the game GM comeon now.

Congrats on the build date.

We live in a world where now information is available online 24/7. The vehicle order process is exactly the same as it was 35 yrs ago when I first started ordering trucks rather than buying off the lot. Add to that a new model thats in high demand and its a recipe for frustration. GM needs to rethink how they provide information to buyers but its also likely that some dealers dont necessarily embrace that. When I ordered my truck in February I knew my dealer didnt have an allocation at that time. Many people dont get that kind of transparency with their dealer. a couple weeks after I ordered they assigned an allocation. The truck was originally scheduled for May 18th but ended up being built 2 weeks earlier on May 4th. I firmly believe that a high percentage of the misinformation comes from the dealers sandbagging people. I cant prove it but my BS detector goes off regularly. 

 

Theres a new YT video from Steve Lehto that talks about ordered vehicles and some of the games that dealers play. 

Things are rarely as they seem.

    • My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page 
    • Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.       
    • We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper. 
    • Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money". 
    • I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.
