Went to a dealer today and he indicated that it could take 6-8 months for an ordered truck to be built. I'm in Canada and they indicated that the dealership allocation is terrible compared to the US; he can only order a few HD/month which is restricted further by color and options. Don't know what the truth is, but I am ready to by a truck and there is sweet F-all to choose from and seems ordering (like I have in the past) is no longer an option. Crazy when a guy is willing to drop $120K (Canadian I know but still) on a truck and can't get what they want.

Well, this change of plan happened today!   Had an LTZ on order, kinda wanted the sport edition but couldn’t order it at the time due to constraint (wasn’t a deal breaker, want not a need).

Definitely some bad experiences ordering a truck. My 2024 AT4 HD is the first vehicle I’ve ever ordered. I sat down with the sales guy and built the truck. He went to the sales manager and came back w

My 2024 HC showed upon at the dealer Saturday.  Ordered it middle of January.  Should be picking it up some time this week.

The first obstacle is finding a dealer that will tell you the truth. Plenty of stories on here about people that were strung along by dealers with no allocations left. 

Mine took 12 weeks and the dealer told e straight up that he wouldnt have an allocation for a couple of weeks. Most of my other trucks (including my other HD's) took between 6-8 wks,  Flint is at full production and their numbers have stayed pretty good through the whole strike. I wouldnt doubt some items are on constraint due to systemic issues in the supply chain. An honest dealer can give you constraint information.  

My only constraint was running/step boards so I left them off and added and aftermarket set that I actually like way better than my previous ones.

Tomorrow I'm going to order my 3500 Ultimate. I'm already scared to hear how long I'll have to wait.

I received confirmation that my order was accepted by GM on 10/19 but I do not have a tentative build date yet. I can update when I get that.

Finally got my email they are building my Truck! Now lets see how long for completion and delivery!

Like @JStevie71 I received the email this morning (11/9) that they are building my truck. I believe this corresponds to event code 3400. Waiting on an update from Laura. So far Im quite happy with the process out of Laura.

 

As much as I like to support local businesses I strongly recommend folks order from a larger dealership if they would like their trucks on a reasonable timeline.

Shipping and logistics is still an issue in Flint. I heard there are around 8000 trucks in the shipping Queue currently. Thats a little over a weeks production thats bottlenecked. The most I have ever seen on a truck was 5 and that looked pretty sketchy, typically there are only 4. Not sure how many fit on the autorack but I know they are limited to only 2 levels.

Ordered my new truck on October 5th. Dealer had an allocation and GM accepted the order. Tentative build date came back 10/30-11/15. I called the dealer this morning and was told 11/18 was showing as the build date. I keep seeing guys post about receiving an email. Does GM send an email when the build starts?

You bet. I signed up for the emails through the help chat on the gm website though.
 

I received the second email (Build started) from gm last week. Subsequently, I chatted with a gm help agent and she told me there is a Tpw of 11/14. I do not have the build complete email yet though. Now that Flint has rejected the contract I’m crossing my fingers my truck makes it to the lot complete before Flint decides to strike.

Not so sure of that, Just got notified mine is on the train out of there.....So says Vin View....  a bout a week from completed to shipping. Not bad at all.

They aren’t shipped purely in order of completion though, they transport in batches based on logistics efficiency. So some people wait a lot longer. Truck I initially ordered sat in the shipping queue in Canada for several weeks. Truck we ended up buying from dealer inventory came the 2 hrs by transporter within 5 days of build completion.

8000 trucks is about a full weeks production.

Ordered a 24 HD/LT April 29th. MN Dealer said it was built in June. Still sitting in Canada!!!  They have tried to sell me other trucks. Ones that have come in and people got tired of waiting for and went else were. Usually High Country's in the $80's. Dont want a HC. Last one took 9 mo to get to dealer.

After the dealership re-ordered my '24 HC in the CORRECT color in September, it only took 8 weeks to drop it at dealership. I've been driving it for a week now!

      Some Assembly is Required

      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.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
