Did you order from Rivard in Tampa as well? My TPW was same as yours and was built. Haven’t heard anything from my dealer since even though I’ve asked if it has shipped. All I get is crickets. 

Are you in FL?  I tried calling Rivard to order a few months ago and they said they weren't taking any additional out of state orders.

Looks like Precision http://precisionvehicleholding.com/ is having some serious issues in Flint getting the trucks moving. There are a lot of new trucks sitting in storage lots around the area. These are all in areas where the trucks have completed validation and are released to ship. 

Rumor has it that there are over 2 weeks worth of production (Flint production is typically over 1000 units per day over 3 shifts) waiting for transport. I think GM needs to re-evaluate their relationship with Precision for logistics. My guess would be that they are a big part of the reason that GM cannot define when trucks will be delivered. Next up is a potential strike, that will for sure send things into a tailspin. 

I noticed that Precision is a company owned by an "equity firm" which to me usually means a company more bent on profit than actual quality or sustainability. 

Ya I just got a text from the dealer that my truck is at event code 3800(vehicle produced) but it’s delayed due to shipping.

Getting there... can't wait to see pics

Any idea of how long the build will stay at 3400 before it begins production.

My dealer says I am at 3400 but I just got an email saying my truck is being built as we speak? Who knows.

Patience is key, nothing that any of us do/did made it happen any faster. Theres way too many outside forces at work here. With all of the issues I think GM has to stay pretty flexible and pivot based on supplies.

Found out my truck is stuck in a lot waiting to be loaded on a rail cart and has been sitting for almost a month. I reached out the Percision Vehicle Holding on FB and to my surprise, they reached out and are going to try and get it loaded for me.

Hopefully they get ours shipped out before the UAW deal deadline! Good luck my friend, let me know what you find out from her!

I am pretty sure Precision is non union. I would guess shipping will still continue even if there is a strike although rumblings are that this one might be ugly.

    • I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?

    • Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
