My truck shipped on 5/6 and arrived in Portland 5/12, 3 hours away. It did not get unloaded until Saturday 5/15 and I am still waiting for it to arrive at the dealer.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gif


Hopefully I will be driving it by this weekend.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif

skibum,


Who did you order through? My estimated delivery was 5/17 and it is here. Dealer called and said I could pick it up tomorrow 5/19. Now the bad news: I am so busy with the work thing that I may not be able to pick it up until next week.

My estimated delivery was 5/13 and I still don't have it.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Angry.gif


I ordered it from Clint Newell in Roseburg. The problem isn't them it is the railroad in PDX. They were actually very good to work with.


Where in Oregon are you?

Hate to tell you this, but mine came into Portland also. How do you know it is the RR? I ordered from DSU.

The RR car came into PDX last Wednesday and did not get unloaded until Saturday afternoon. That was 4 days of the truck sitting in the railyard before being unloaded.


Now I don't know what the problem is but it has been unloaded for 3 days and hasn't been delivered to the dealer.Edited by: skibum

Mine sat on the railcar for three days and in the yard for two more days before it was brought down to my dealer. Then they had it for two more days doing the aftermarket stuff install and PDI.


Like everyone says, it's worth the wait even tho it might not seem so right now. Soon you'll be grinning from ear to ear...http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif

I know it will be worth the wait. I am going to enjoy pulling the horse trailer a lot more than I do with my '97 Suburban.

Mine has been in L.A. Since Thursday, Unloaded on friday, and still waiting. I am hopeful it will get here by the weekend, but I am not holding my breath. It seems as though everything in CA costs more and takes longer than anywhere else in the country.

I guess I am still winning this contest. My order was accepted by GM on Jan. 19, but the actual ordering happened the week before that.


Still no truck.

I feel your pain. I ordered mine on Jan 16, 4 months and counting.
