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...

    • Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/        
    • UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update  
    • GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.  
    • Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.
    • I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
