Yeah, I was hoping I'd sneak in before the ripple effects of the strike hit. Looks like I'm probably screwed/going with Ford (same thing? Lol)

I am hearing rumblings that production likely will slow dramatically or cease in a week or 2 unless a tentative agreement is reached. Whatever units are in repair or shipping should get moved through.

I'm a girl so we're taken for stupid. My dealer told me he had allocation. My patience is running out. I don't think I'd still be at 1100 if he did. There are no constraints as far as I've been told. I'm not far from going with Ford.

Most dealers treat most customers like that, so I don't know that it's necessarily because you're a girl. 

 

That being said, I've personally witnessed that kind of treatment directed towards my wife. She went into a hardware store looking for a specific model chainsaw (she did the talking, I was just there with her) and the guy starts talking to me. My wife knows more than me about power tools and lawn equipment as much as I know more than her about firearms (a lot).

Anyone else waiting 3-4 months on their build with zero movement? Like, no allocation, not picked up by GM, just sitting on the dealer's system twiddling its thumbs?

No sir mine was 70-80 days from time of order to actually being produced. And then shipped out the next day.

So, only about a month before going into production? I must have just ordered from the wrong dealers(s) lol

 

I ordered only about 6 weeks after you did too. ,

I am think that list is a little short,  it was 6 weeks until production.

What dealer did you order from? And, if you don't mind my asking, did you pay MSRP or get a deal?

Don't mind at all.... 

Rivard GMC Tampa FL (I live in SC)

Look at their website, now all the 25/3500 are sold but they do honor the pricing you see... I was at 8% below MSRP.

The dealer here in SC and NC are adding 7k with market adjustments and add-ons. 

So I saved a total 14/15k vs dealers local to me.

Sammy is who you would want to deal with at rivard I can send you his number if you need it.

Mine has been going on for 2 months without even being officially accepted by GM. That's the message. "Your order has been submitted by your dealer but has not officially been accepted by GM at this time.". I spoke to my dealer today and he told me that there’s currently a strike going on at the west houses that manufacture cars. I don't know how true or myth it is, but that was the news I received here in Florida.

Thanks for the info. I had a really bad experience buying a vehicle out of state one time and have been wary of trying that again. 

 

That's also super far for me (I'm in central PA). My best offer came in around there (like $6k off). Couldn't get Ford as low but the equivalent Lariat build to my LTZ was a bit cheaper to begin with. I'm mostly satisfied with the offers, just not with the lack of clear/honest info, and with how long it's taking for anything at all to happen with any of my (GM) orders. 

 

And now the strike so…😩

There wasnt a strike 2 months ago and Flint has been producing over 300 units every shift X 3 shifts and overtime. So a little quick math would say conservatively 1000 per day (its actually around 1100+) x 5 days a week x 8 weeks. Thats 40,000 trucks since you tried to place your order (these are very conservative numbers) so look at that and tell us who you think is BSing you ?

I also ordered from Sammy from Rivard Buick gmc in Tampa. I’m located in northeast Ohio. So it’s going to be a 16 hour drive back when I go to pick it up

    • Glad it worked for you. I tried that 1st, about 2 years ago. Didn't help. I also tried doing a hard reset (disconnecting battery for minimum of 30 minutes). Worked a couple times, but after one summer of doing it over and over, that no longer worked.  I was fairly confident it was either the compressor or a failed actuator, but I just couldn't identify which one. Had to research which actuators do what and which last numbers are associated with each.
    • Took me FIFTEEN MINUTES to find this. Isn't that a problem? On the mainstream media I can INSTANTLY find 100 articles bashing President Trump ... but when it comes to TRUTH in American corporate news & search engines, it's carefully filtered to support ONE SIDE. A Republic cannot survive like this! Incredible! Even all the AI searchers out there failed as well! ChatGPT said it needed more details on the video that I provided a DIRECT LINK to! I thought AI was the be-all, end-all?? I had to dig it up myself. This should be FRONT PAGE NEWS!!! 🤬   Here's the statement directly from our President:     Glenn Beck's reporting on the operation:   https://glennbeck.com/watch/videos/trump-just-revealed-a-massive-military-secret-that-lowered-gas-prices   In case that link doesn't work, here's the YouTube link:     And another 15 minutes to find this clip out of Glenn Beck's video - the first few seconds is all the corporate media will allow the public to see, since the low IQ people will think Trump said " I love inflation ", and that was the end of it. Taken WAY out of context! Here's that part, plus the 2nd part about the oil smuggling operation:  
    • More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade. 
    • Thanks for the point of reference 
    • Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.
