I would check with a local dealer. When I ordered my truck on 4/2 it was just before the cutoff. I dont know if chevy and gmc are different or not but I looked at the paperwork printed from the gm world network that dated all gmc truck 08 orders are cutoff at 4/4

They start making all '09 Sierra crew cabs, 1500HD, 2500HD and 3500HD on June 23rd. How many of you guys are going to cancel '08 orders and just order an '09? Sounds like a new thread to me.

GM suspends big truck orders because of American Axle strike

GMC Sierra heavy-duty regular cab

 

• GMC Sierra heavy-duty extended cab

 

• GMC commercial heavy-duty

 

• Chevrolet Tahoes and same variants for Chevrolet full-sized trucks.

 

"Essentially, we're not accepting any more orders," says Randy Fox, GMC spokesman.

 

GM says it already had all the orders it could process at this time because the strike is preventing GM from getting parts. If the strike continues, there might be additional production cuts, GM spokeswoman Susan Garontakos says.

 

In a notice to dealers, GM said: "The allocation volume for the Dealer Order Submission Process cycles beginning May 8, 2008, and May 15, 2008, have been canceled."

 

That means dealers' orders won't be filled.

 

"It's not pretty," says John Rogin, owner of John Rogin GMC Truck in suburban Detroit. "If you ordered a vehicle, you aren't going to be able to request it May 8 or May 15; you have to wait until later."

 

Dave Grundstrom is on GM's National Dealer council. He says some dealers fear they will lose commercial fleet business because they can't get big trucks. But he says no business has been lost yet.

 

"The truck business is so slow in general right now it's hard to measure it," says Grundstrom, president of Marvin K. Brown Auto Center in San Diego, which sells Cadillac, Saab, Hummer, Buick and GMC. "It's sort of one or two losses for us. We're more of a retail-oriented business than commercial fleet."

 

During April's sales call, Mark LaNeve, GM's vice president of vehicle sales, service and marketing, said GM lost about 15,000 vehicles in commercial and fleet business last month because of the strike.

 

GM says it has a 102-day supply of GMC and Chevrolet 3500 heavy-duty trucks. For heavy-duty 2500 trucks, GM said the figure is 178 days.

      AC diagnostic on a neo-classic Camaro

      By Atlas · Posted

      tldr; Shade tree mechanic stumped by variable displacement AC compressor.   Not Silverado related, but for my 2000 Camaro SS. I've never really used the AC since acquiring the car a good handful of years ago. I plan to take it on a trip this summer so I wanted to make sure the AC was in good shape. On an 73 degree day in the shop with the car idling I set the AC on "Max", temp set to cold, and fan on hi. The compressor turned on and air turned nice and cold.   I let it run for several minutes but noticed the compressor never cycled off. The engine was up to temperature enough that it began cycling the cooling fans on high. I had a set of manifold gauges hooked up and it was consistently at about 25 psi on the low side and between 200 and 225 psi (warm engine) on the high side. Per temperature charts, the low side is low (should be 30-35) and the high side is a little high (up to 170 per chart). I read the low pressure as potentially being under-charged underscored by a continually running compressor This was also underscored by temp readings of mid-20 degrees at the vents. Not just cold, freezing cold. Switching off the AC but leaving the HVAC fan on high produced a deluge of condensation underneath the vehicle. I was getting ice buildup on the evap core most likely.   The low reading (25psi) concerned me that the compressor wasn't switching off so I swapped out the pressure switch. No change in behavior, still ran constantly.   The AC clutch works fine as it engages/disengages with the HVAC switch on command. The compressor relay is good as I swapped it with two different known good relays just to be sure. Having eliminated that, and the pressure switch, I added refrigerant, thinking the constant run and low "low" pressure were signs of a slight undercharge. Makes sense, the car is 26 years old and it doesn't appear the AC system has ever been touched.   Adding some R134a didn't meaningfully change the low side pressure. And that's when a lightbulb flashed upstairs. While I consider the car "old", it's possibly "new" enough to have a variable displacement compressor. Did some reading and sure enough. Dangit. I don't work on these for this reason.   Adding refrigerant means the compressor will just compensate and won't really change pressures until it's severely overcharged or undercharged. But at least I wasn't getting ice/frost anymore, but instead high 30 degree temps out of the vents. That's more normal, but with variable displacement now I have no idea where my charge level is at. It's probably overcharged now. The high side even with the engine radiating serious heat was never really over about 225.   The static pressure at room temperature is dead on, before and after the charge. Both high/low equalize after some rest.   I'm thinking I'll need to take it to a shop. I want the proper charge level so I'm not working the compressor too hard. The only way to get an accurate charge is to evacuate and then re-charge with the exact amount specified for the system -- at least that's what I'm reading.   Anyone here with modern automotive AC knowledge?

      Ac not keeping up

      Mine is in the shop for the AC now. While it did get cold after a bit, it would take a while to even start to cool the air at all. Turns out the compressor was bad and cycling.

      Ac not keeping up

      I call B.S. when I first moved to Texas my first house would only cool to 80 with the Texas heat. The AC tech said it was normal at 100 degrees outside. I remodeled the house put in a new AC. I could hang meat. My cars may need recirculating to start. Once moving it switches to regular AC and I could hang meat. Living in Texas no one would put up with only 20 degrees difference.

      AC in home or auto only cool down 15-25 degrees from outside temp, but what will help is to put the ac in recirc mode this will recirc the Inside cabin air rather then trying to cool down the outside hot air, I always have mine in recirc mode.

      Found the fix for this.  Untightan the bolt just below top linkage on the steering column, turn assembly left to reduce space between the two linkage rods at the steering column, tighten bolt.  Made a big improvement.
