been trying to order a 25 silverado double cab and basicly there telling me gm wont let them order doubles'...  yet there available on the build site.  was wondering if anyohne else is haveing the same issue.  i really have no use for the full crew cab.  and i definitley dont want a box shorter then 6'6.   went thru the same isssue last year and finally canvelled my order as it was getting late in the season to waste money on a 24...   so now same b/s in 25.

Perhaps time to visit another dealer? 

 

 

Some trims are not available in double cab -- but if the one you want is available on design/build that shouldn't be the issue.

 

Production year is from about summer to summer. 

Seems early for them to have closed '25 order book yet. 

 

 

The crew is available with standard box.  

Yes, a little harder to park -- and too long for some garages if wanting/needing to park inside.

I ordered a `25 double cab on the 1`st day of the production line change over. LT model, 5.3, with NHT package. Took about 6 weeks to get. Picked it up at the dealer on 10/22/24 with 5 miles on it.

only dealer in town.  i was watching the web site and 25 builds werent even doable till mid nov... i'm in canada if that makes a difference.   i just dont really want a crew cab i have no use for the extra size of it.  so nobody else has heard of a shortage of the doublecabs? i was looking at a rst model and built it on the build page.  dealer says he cant get any dbl cabs.

Constraint in ordering.  Dealers get updates weekly on what they can and can't order for that week. If GM has no allocations to any dealers for double cabs, nobody can order one because they aren't building any for X amount of weeks.

I don`t understand that. Unless the assy line quit making double cabs. I ordered mine in late august and picked it up at the dealer on 10/22/24. LT double cab with NHT.

you ordered a 2025 in august? i wasnt able to do a build online till like novemberish...it seemed late.   whats NHT?

Yep. Aug 26`th. 1`st day the line started building double cabs. The other cabs started earlier. Mine is a Ft. Wayne build.

 

NHT is max trailer package. Only way to get that on most models IS to customer order. Not from dealer stock. It`s got 3.42 gears vs 3.23. So, I guess they don`t want many of these "gas hogs" running around.

hmm maybe they did a double cab batch at the begging... funny the build site wasnt anywhere near up at that time... if this is the case i should be able to build a 26 this summer and get it by late august? that isnt really that far away. no point getting a 25  three quarters thru the season.

Simple, Dealer DOES NOT have an allocation to get his order placed.  No allocation, order won't get picked up. Find another dealer and make sure they can order it.

Dealers only receive allocation if earned ...some weeks it is not earned and not available...

      I like the idea.  I would pick diesel if I had a choice. I need pictures though.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By newdude · Posted

      I've installed cheap eBay new aftermarket digitizers before.  They work.  Did a bunch of Cadillac CUE (aka Cadillac's MyLink) for someone years ago.  They all worked fine after the repair.    That number 22740886, that is a component part # for GM.  You can use it to search, but its not something that's obtainable at the dealer level.     So pretty much any of these will work - 2015 Colorado Digitizer for sale | eBay

      Exhaust heat while towing!

      By fondupot · Posted

      You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...
