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

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By SoCal Angler · Posted

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!
