2024 AT4 HD, ordered Oct 5th and brought it home today. Already dirty on the ride home, winter in VT!

 

GM running boards and splash guards.

 

Adjusted air pressures to 60psi for all. Onstar shows orange for the rears but no TPMS error yet. If it does, I’ll change the placard pressures if the truck allows it with my Autel TS508. 
 

Barely fits in the garage, can’t open the tailgate. A lot longer than my 2018 Sierra 1500 SLE Double Cab.

 

ARE cap gets put on next Friday.

First post here,  I have a 2024 3500 HC Dually on order,  been at Order Status 1100 since 12/4....  The order form has it as a sold order and priority 1.   I'm like a kid at Christmas,  how much longer???   I'm not getting clear answers from the dealer.

I’ve only ordered two vehicles in my life both my wife drove as daily, both were put up as an investment. One we still have. The first a 94 impala ss I read about in Hot Rod magazine. My local dealer didn’t believe me when I went in to order, they hadn’t been informed. That took about 6 months. We kept it 8 years. Traded for a new 6 cylinder Camaro for my son to go to college. Even trade. The second 2001 Acura Intagra Type R. That took a year. We still have it. It drives me crazy the waiting. I wouldn’t do it for a regular vehicle. I make better deals off the lot.

Congrats!  Probably just the scale of the photo, but that garage door looks tiny.  Good thing you did not get the ZR2, I don't think it would clear!

Yeah, those 9' wide doors are tight with those mirrors. Gotta pay attention going in and out of those small doors!

Truck came with BF Goodrich KO3’s. They have the 3 peak symbol for snow and will get through winter with them. I had Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT3’s on my  1500 and will get another set of wheels and Nokians for the AT4 HD for next winter.

My first post to this forum.  I have looked back through this thread and am wondering what others got in the way of a build sheet when they walked away from the initial order meeting with the dealer.

I sat down with the salesman at my dealer in early November and ordered at GMC 2500HD AT4X.  With the salesman we spec'd it out with the exact options I wanted on the same build system you see when you go to the GMC website.  He printed everything out and I reviewed everything to confirm it was correct.  He told me that the sales manager, who wasn't there that day, would put the order into the actual ordering system.  I kept contacting him wanted to get a specific build sheet from the "real" ordering system so that I could see a list of RPO/LPO codes and confirm that everything was correct. He kept telling me that he did not have one yet.  On December 20th I got a generic email from GMC saying that the order was placed and gave me an order number.  I asked the dealer again to see a build sheet or order sheet showing the RPO/LPO codes so I could confirm the options were correct.  Got the same answer, we don't have that yet.  Finally managed to get a copy of the order from them, week before last.  It was printed out of their Vehicle Locator system.  And sure enough the order was incorrect.  So now the dealer is telling me they have no way to contact GM and get the order corrected, in fact they can't even cancel the order even though it hasn't been built yet and we don't even have a build date. Ironically, I got another generic email from GMC telling me that the order is still in process.  All of this seems very odd.  Dealer has been apologetic, isn't trying to force the truck on me.  They are trying a few more avenues of contact this week but it looks like I am going to have to start over with a new order and the dealer is going to have a $100k truck sitting on their lot in a small town.

Does this seem normal?  Is it normal to not get an actual "real" build sheet when you leave the order meeting?  Is it true that once the order has been accepted and an order number issued that nothing can be corrected and they order can't even be canceled?

TIA

Hi Red Hawk:

I'm new to all this and unfortunately can't say I have a firm understanding, but happy to share my experience. (Started on P.33 of this thread)

 

On October 2, 2023 I met with my small but reputable GMC dealer. I had already configured (built) the truck I wanted on GMC's website and was able to present a printout of the options / packages that I wanted. The dealer used that information to generate a "Deal Sheet" that listed the trucks configuration and the agreed price. It appears the "deal sheet" was generated internal to the dealer and was representative of the Window Sticker would be. I was required to check and initial each line item (option/package) on the deal sheet for accuracy, great idea in my mind. The deal sheet listed a specifically assigned "Deal #" & "Customer #". At that time I was informed clearly the dealer had no idea when my truck would be built.                            Fast forward .....

 

December 14th 2023 I got a call from my salesperson stating the factory had "picked up my order" (allocation assigned), however the 5th wheel / ball mount package was constrained, I hung up and drove to the dealer. While at the dealership the salesperson made a call to his GMC factory rep and told me he resolved the constraint. Also, I was told I could add a small option. The salesman presented me with a revised configuration that was generated on the corporate GM order Workbench system. The workbench order listed my newly assigned order number and "allocation group". I was once again required to check and initial each option/package line item for accuracy, again, good idea.

At that time no firm delivery date could be established, however a welcomed "wild ass guess" of about early March was offered. That estimate seems consistent with the what I am reading on this thread that it takes about 8-9 weeks after the factory picks up the order. Simply out of excitement I will likely reach out to my salesman for an update.

 

I hope this verbose response may offer some assistance, and maybe someone will chime in with additional information.

the key aspect in your situation is that you mention it's a small town dealer.  they've probably ordered more vehicles in the past 3 yrs than they have in the past 20 combined (then again maybe they really churn them out).  I contacted a dealer in a 100k+ population city we've bought several vehicles from and texted the salesman the exact truck we're interested in ordering - it was four options.  He left two off when they gave me a quote.

 

To answer your question, yes, a build sheet with an order number is available very soon if not within 15 mins after they place the order.  Sounds like you did everything you could and possibly know more about ordering than the salesman.   The only thing I'd have done is go by the dealership and talk to the person that actually placed the order.  Small town dealers the sales manager probably wear 10 hats - doesn't mean they can't be knowledgeable about everything they deal with...but fifteen minutes on a forum and I knew more about GM's ordering steps/allocations/constraints/order numbers than almost every salesman I spoke with

 

there used to be users online that could take the order number you received on 12/20 and then give you your build sheet.  guess dealers started pitching a fit because buyers now knew when something was screwed up before the vehicle arrived.  GM put a stop to the online assistance from other dealers that weren't the selling dealer - think employees can still do it, but GM must have some harsh penalties if they get caught because it pretty much stopped all of a sudden a year or so ago

 

Hope they are giving you a heckuva deal.  There's a point when it's easier to go elsewhere (understand small town politics may play a part though)

    • I tried before I updated the scan tool just incase an update messed it up, but it never worked so I updated the scan tool and it still didn't work.   Only difference is I click on Sierra not Chevrolet cause I have a Sierra.   If I click on 2026-2024 I didn't have any option to change placard, when I click on 2023 it does give me the option but when I try to do it,.it says vehicle not supported!   I have my region or market or whatever it is set to America I think, is that what yours is set to?
    • Its just that it worked on 2024 trucks on this forum and my 2025 model truck, unless GM did something since that point to screw up access or Autel has a bad update. I haven't had need to use my tool since last year when I did the changes to the placard pressure settings and since then I updated the software on my Autel but have not plugged into the OBD so hard to say if I would get a surprise as well.    All I know last year when I bought the Autel I was warned to be sure to update it before I tried using the unit as they said who knows how long ago unit itself was actually manufactured as the software could be way out of date. 
    • And so you had gone through the process of registering and updating the tool and so on ?. All I can say is that on the front page as the tool fires up you go to advanced mode, then vehicle model comes up and you choose Silverado ( not the DRW or EV  since your a single rear wheel ) , then I think its choice 2 which is 07/2021 - 12/2026 ( 433mhz 13542523 ) as that is the series of tpms sensors and then go down to choice 5 which is tire type/pressure selection. Hit yes and it says to connect to OBD port and turn ignition on.    Having said this, I updated the software in my tool lately and these year range choices look different from the past due to them doing some updates it would appear and I have not connected up to the OBD port since last year so hopefully I am not in for a surprise with them screwing up the software and that it won't work on my truck anymore either.    So my question is, when you plugged into the OBD and started your truck it had that message on the Autel screen "vehicle not supported" ?. That does seem odd as tire shops would be pissed right off if hey can't use their tool on the model year after mine that in theory is supposed to be much the same truck ... unless GM did some change in the computer system to block certain things from access. 
    • Understanding and using modern scan tools is its own body of knowledge. I had little hope that would work...programming access to the BCM is probably required and that is not easy for us consumers. Expensive scan tool, GM programming subscription, online authentication, etc.   It also may be a matter of finding the right dealer to program it for you. Flashing a modern BCM might be a little too advanced for most tire shops.
    • Update for anyone following:    Installed everything as shown in diagram. Opted for 8 AWG from Battery Positive to a 50A resettable inline breaker. 8 AWG is tied into to 2x 12 AWG wires feeding a 6 way fuse bus in parallel (manufacturer’s design of what I purchased).    4 of the 6 fuses available for circuits are tied to terminal 30 of each relay. I tied a jumper from one of my spare circuits off the bus to terminal 86 of each relay. The trigger, terminal 85, was pulled from my interior by way of T-Taps from the X61A-X5 pins 10, 11, 17 and 23. This was the hardest part of the job. Even with the X61A unbolted and the X5 removed - there was VERY little wiggle room.  I added back up lights that I want to come on with my cargo lamp - but when I would check continuity between S48A-X1 pin 18 to its respective landing point on the X61A-X5 it triggers the factory relay… Instead I opted for a add-a-fuse on the passenger interior fuse panel (fuse location 10 - cargo lamp) and ran it through the boot on the driver side to my load. Did this to avoid introducing any electrical gremlins.   Note: Please check for continuity between the S48A-X1 and the X61A-X5. In my case wire colours were not the same as other’s who have posted. To do a continuity check you need a Multimeter. Completely disassemble the S48A-X1 and remove the brown face plate off the X61A-X5 by way of a flat head screwdriver - this was the only way I could get any results.   The outputs, terminal 87 of the relays, were fed into a junction box and landed at Individual studs and were labelled Aux 1-4.    At this point, all you need to do is run wire to your loads and bring them to ground. I created a negative bus in the engine bay, all my negatives land here.    For anyone having issues with all of your new aux switch lights coming on with the press of one - I noticed this only to be an issue when the battery wasn’t hooked up to my relays? No idea why, but it was quickly corrected by having my system buttoned up and functional.
