What's the word on lead time for ordering a 2500? Ill be ready to trade my truck in within 6 months or so. If its a 6 week wait Ill hold off a bit. If its 6 months + ill start the process. 

Id love to buy off the lot but I dont want a work truck and I dont want a Denali/AT4 and thats all that seems to wind up on the lots around here. Hoping interest rates creep back down a little....if they're over 6% when the truck comes In ill just drive my paid for rig into the ground lol

A lot can and will change in 6 months. Currently deliveries are running about 90 days BUT thats if your dealer actually has an allocation and is honest with you about that. Some dealers will take your money even though they dont have allocation and then sandbag you on the order. There may also be some constraints on certain options so you will need a dealer that will honestly communicate those issues. The supply chain is still struggling. 

Having said all that if the UAW strikes then production will be severely curtailed and ALL bets are off.

From what I'm reading and what I've heard the UAW is probably going on strike in about 2 weeks. I  was going to order a 3500 however with the impending strike I went out this last weekend and found something very similar locally to what I wanted and I bought it because it's going to be a while before orders are taken and fulfilled because of the backlog caused by the strike. My opinion hopefully it's wrong but that's the reasoning behind my buying one this last weekend.

Double cabs are unicorns these days it seems.  Guy next to me at a campsite in NM a couple weeks ago had a 2024 SLE double cab 6.6 gasser.  I was shocked.

You're both very correct. It's nuts.

There's a double cab in the right color at my preferred dealer actually but it has 4k worth of stuff on it I dont want. That plus interest rates has me turned off. Id be over paying twice. Im sure ill end up having to order to get my exact truck. Just trying to time it right

Ordered 7/10, dealer already had an available allocation and there were no applicable constraints.


TPW was supposed to be this week (8/28), but friends at GM looked into our order and Oshawa is running about a month behind those projected targets. (Supposedly Flint too, though not by as much right now)

 

we were lucky enough to have friends who could move up the build to last week, but we ended up finding something on the lot we liked slightly better anyways and went that route. Even with that move it didn’t get built last week due to some delays again.

 

All that to say even with an allocation, supply chain issues still creep up here and there, so with a pending strike it’s probably going to be a decent wait.

GM has 1.9% for 60/m

Chevy has 3.9% for 60/m

 

They have actually had it for awhile.....I took 3.9% back in April on a 2500 HD

 

I couldnt touch that rate from either of my CU's

 

Seen a few dbl cabs on west coast but idk where you are...they arent that rare out here.....

I'd be curious who he had to kiss to get it.

I've had a ltz double cab gasser on order since the first week of Feb.

Finally got an allocation in mid June. But still don't have a build date.

 

With the insane list of demands the UAW has out there, a strike is pretty much guaranteed.

So, I figure the chance of seeing the truck this year is slim.

From local dealer had it but only thru August  which is over..... maybe just a promo they were doing

 

Yeah I see 3.9 on 23 GMC....4.49 on denal/at4....

 

I dont know how they do it but I was able to get 2.49% on a 22 2500 model when the offer was for 1500s only on website.....they didn't want me using my bank I guess which was 3%

 

Some dealers would advertise different finance offers than others

 

My Bad man! Your right though I dont see it for 24s thru GM website...

 

Only Chevy is for 24s....September offers are coming though

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?
