I placed a factory order for a 2024 Silverado LT 3500HD and z71 Sport package back on December 15. Dealer is a high volume and they stated at time of order they get regular allocations.

6 weeks later and no allocation received and factory has not accepted the order. Getting frustrated beyond belief. About ready to pull the plug and move on to another brand. 
Not having much confidence in my dealer. Is 6 weeks out of line to wait for an allocation and order acceptance?

Ask them how many are ahead of you? I waited months, but I got a good price and new there were 80 people in front of me..  You gotta ask the right questions some dealers dont tell the whole story unless asked

High Volume dealers = Lots of orders..... just because they are high volume they arent going to get unlimited allocations and GM can only build trucks so fast

My dealer recently informed me my truck was at production code 3400 (Broadcast) and had a planned build week of 1/29/24.

 

TIP - I've been keeping an eye on GMC's website.

I found my truck on GMC.com --->Shopping --->View Inventory.  I simply set the configuration to "3500" & "Double cab",

and, .... whoops there it is, in transit to my dealer!

 

Hope this is useful to anyone. Now we wait for transit.

I may have missed it...When did you placed your order?

Order was placed in October 2023.

Factory issued allocation to dealer 12/14/23.

Production was scheduled for week of 1/29/24.

 

I was surprised that my truck, being "pre-sold", is listed on GM's website as "inventory".

I ordered my GMC Denali on 1/19/24. Will be interesting to see all the steps mine is going to go through.

funny....

zero updates via email from GM. My truck isnt on the in transit section.

But when I messaged the virtual assistant on GM.com (advice taken from this board) it says my trucks in transit.

Interesting. When I get home in a few days I will have to check this out. Where on GM.com do you go?

Your dealership can track your truck with their tracker system. It shows a type of google map and marks where your truck is located, at that current time.

    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
    • 286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔           
    • hello I recently bought a 2012 gmc 1500 with a 5.3 and have a AFM disabler on it I'm interested in doing a cam but I'm worried if I remove the AFM system I will fail smog does anyone have info if they are able to detect that or a work around to it (not talking about hot smogging) please let me know thank you
