2017 Duramax

Something has got to be holding them up. GM lost a TON of year end sales with companies trying to spend excess cash in the coffers. I personally know of at least 10 guys who bought fords alone, 1 switched over his whole fleet he liked the 2017 so much. Thats just 1 guy who jumped over to Ford bc of delays with this platform, I think he bought 20 something diesel trucks. This has got to be killing GM truck sales. Can you even find a 16 if you wanted one now???

Here is one that just showed up in Utah. I'm pretty sure that "National Sales Associate" is full of shit.

It's all BS. There are 17's around and being sold, just in small numbers. It's all by design, they want the 16's mostly gone before the 17's hit in big numbers, and it's working. We had one built on the last day of October, which was the first week they were building them. They held a bunch of them and labeled them to be in "quality control", but they were just waiting in a yard awaiting the green flag. No EPA problem, its all by design. If your local rep is telling you that, I'm not saying they're lying but...
I dont buy that. Lots of people want the latest and greatest but needed to buy before years end. GM didn't deliver, every year prior the 2500 diesel came out in August or September. No way it was beneficial to wait untill January...
There's several in public possession. A few of the bigger tuners already have them too (all denali trim too).
I talked to my nsa again today and he said that they have about 25 trucks on order, all have been built, all have vin # s, but no invoices. no invoices, no estatmated time of delivery! He was told that they were all on hold to be shipped because the feds now what them all smog tested before they will be put on the car carriers. Could be b.s. to cover for a lag in sales of the 16's, maybe
a design problem, who knows maybe they
forgot to send the feds their x-mas bonus.
Hopefully they'll figure it out before ford takes over as the best in everything!
(oh ya gm has the hp and the scoop) lol..

What he said!!! Do you guys live under a rock? The trucks are rolling to the dealers and people are buying. I've seen two already. Kory at PPEI has already thrown his on the dyno and crapped himself when he saw the numbers. The conspiracy theory crap that rolls around this time every year gets really old.
So I saw the LP5 dyno'd 403 and 879 and the new 6.7 PS did just over 300/600? What's that about?
I'd say the Fords are higher than that. My '15 company truck runs pretty darn good for a CC/LB truck.
Looks like EFI released an update for L5P logging, and something about getting to work on flashing after the holidays this am. :thumb:
billet 61mm 11 blade turbo wheel factory in the l5P is pretty neat. and the trucks have a huge curve on the lml trucks. They also still make 29k rail pressure on the denso fuel system :thumb:
anyone want to bet we see 600hp trucks with just tunes and deletes?
My local dealer has a few showing up said I could bring one down to the shop and look it over :joker:

This is in the 17'.
Guys are saying hp numbers are a little higher but torque is no different.
