I have dealt with them before and will again in a couple of weeks, when my Dakota r/t goes back.. If they don't have it they'll get it @ $500. over invoice, and will treat you like somebody.. not just another dummy... D
While I was interested in the ZX3, I'd be cautious about it now. The continuous delays in availability probably means that GM is having problems with it. Even if you could get it (as of two days ago GM wouldn't even let you order it), would you really want one of the first ones? Also, it's roughly a $400 (retail) option. For that money, buy the HB suspension and replace the stock shocks with some adjustable aftermarket ones yourself. Yes, you'll have to get out of the cab to change the settings, but you'll save a ton of $$ and still get the same functionality. Plus, you won't have to worry about the gizmo circuitry that controls the shocks from the cab breaking.
I ordered a 2000 Sierra SLT 1500 2wd EC SB 5.3 4dr that way, loaded (heated memory seats, the works) for $25,300 (GMO price). The only options it doesn't have are 2-tone paint (didn't want) and ZX3 (can't get even if I wanted it). The dealer says it should be in around mid-December.

Thanks,
Mark
Went to order one and the dealer I dealt with located one exactly like I wanted. No waiting!
You will love your new truck!
Menawhile check this nice truck out.
I like the stance it has.

If your dealer doesn't have any spaces, either because GM hasn't allotted the dealer any truck order slots for the week or because the allotment slots are already committed to other customers (or the general mgr needs to order vehicles for the showroom/lot), then your order may not go into GM for some time. The moral: you should confirm with your dealer before you sign on the dotted line whether your dealer has an allotment slot for you that week, and get a commitment as to when the order will be submitted to GM with an agreement that you can cancel and get your deposit back if the order isn't submitted and accepted by a certain date. If the dealer won't make that commitment, try another dealer.
None of that applies if you are ordering through the employee ("GMO") program. A dealer can submit a GMO order regardless of dealer allotment.
Disclaimer: the above is how it has been explained to me by GM insiders and dealers. I have never personally worked for GM.
I finally said enough is enough and laid down the law.
I called up the dealership and gave them a mouth full of my opinions.
Just Two days later ... THey call me up and say that my build date will be in December. Finally they have some answers for me.
Dont know if they are being good little dealers and finally working on actually getting my truck in or ... just giving me a date to shut me up...
Either way...They didnt make the buying process a pleasant one... Will not go to them next time or recommend them to any of my buds...

Probably wait a couple weeks before I start complaining loudly to the dealer.
My order is for a Reg Cab not a 4 door...
Reg Cab Sportside, 4.8 liter, Indigo Blue, Graphite Interior.
Called again today to check up...and hes says they are in the process of building it now. Itll take 4 weeks to build and about 10 days to be delivered... looking around the first week in December!

2500 4WD Long Bed SLT 6.0L 4.10 axle.
I ordered it on 9/2/99 from Grant Petersons
in Mountain Home, Idaho.
Thanks and look forward to hearing from someone about tracking production and getting a realistic timeframe for my new beast's delivery!
Also, Is the vibration problem discussed in other topics still a problem or have the engineers fixed the problem? I'll definitely test drive for 20 mins. before signing the final papers.
Thanks again,
Tom
From the items you mention, there should not a
problem getting the truck you ordered. The
real problems are with GMC 3/4 ton ANYTHING
and Long beds. Other items that can be seen
at www.wheels.com are limited availability.
Check that list against your order and you will
know if you are in for trouble. Ask your GMC
dealer for the status codes for production.
He/She gets the status updated weekly in
their computer system. The "build date" is
the magic milestone. Once you have your build
date, you can expect your truck within 4 weeks
after that date.
including the heated leather seats with memory
settings. Easier to say what I did not order.
No limited slip, fog lights,two tone paint,
fourth door or rear
slider window (you cannot order the rear defroster
AND the slider). I paid invoice + 2% advertising
- $99 + $640 destination charge. Order to delivery
will be about 11 weeks. This is only possible
because I spent HOURS over a period of several
days on the phone with GM
complaining about the situation until I got
to the people that could do something about it.
(No I will not tell you who they are! That
would not be very nice after them helping me).
The dealer was completely blown away that I got a
allocation from GMC specificly for me.
Before you order find a dealer who does NOT
have a stack of orders ahead of you waiting
for an allocation. The big question is how
long you will wait until you get an allocation.
Without an allocation you are getting nowhere
fast. Good Luck!

gmcnut, sounks like you are set. you don't happen to be in the Great Northwest? I wouldn't mind talking to your dealer. What kind of down payment did they want?
iwantagmctruck & gmcnut, any mileage figures yet?
Wish us luck, tomorrow is the dealers day to place orders. Prayin for GMC to accept the order and prayin that the dealer pushes it through. Although, based on www.wheels.com the locking diff. may be a delay. Well, so far three weeks and counting for my order. Good luck to everyone else waiting for an order and happy truckin to those of you having the pleasure of driving the one and only 1%'er. I'll let you know how everything goes.
Tom
Should be built in a week and shipped to the dealer in two weeks. It should be at the dealer by 1-2 week of December.
Tom
Hope it works better for you than it has for me.

For everyones info! PRICES WENT UP Nov 01 on the Chevy and the GMC. It's not the base price it's the options that increased. The trucks prices delivered after 1 November reflect the new prices. Make sure if you ordered your truck before November 1 that you're price protected. My GMC dealer told me my deal was the price at delivery but the Chevy dealer I'm dealing with said all his customers are price protected and the dealership recoups the difference in price from the factory instead of the customer. Well, good luck to everyone, I guess the GMC wasn't the truck for me. I love both trucks so I'm happy with my decision but disappointed in General Motors ordering program. I got the skinny from the dealer and it's the dealerships in the past fault that we're waiting so long. It seems that dealerships were making up sold orders in the past to get trucks so now sold orders mean absolutely nothing. We wait based on dealer allocations and wait on "constraints" like 3/4 tons, lond wheel bases, G80 (locking diff) and certain colors. Ordering constraints can be given to you by your dealership, they get a list every week. See ya, going to check out RHINO LINERS and find a fiberglass toneau cover.

I was really spooked by some of the posts complaining of vibrations, launch shutters and other problems, but mine is solid and smooth as glass.
I almost chickened out and bought the Toyota, but I couldn't deal with the rear seat. I'm glad now. This is a better truck and so much better looking!
Good luck to you all. Trust me, it's worth the wait.
Steve
Do you plan on making any mods to your new Truck.
I went last night to the Mobil 1 page and am convinced I will be using synthetic oil.
