So GM today told me the new truck is on the train in Gibson, IN heading for Phoenix and should be at the dealer by Wednesday, 8/24/16.

Just got off the phone with GM and the truck arrived at the Phoenix rail yard at 10PM last night and is awaiting shipment to the dealer. Hopefully they get it today and can PDI it for delivery to me tonight.

Yep so truck is supposed to be delivered to dealer today and I'll be there to pick up my Kicker Soundgate sub this afternoon. Otherwise, have to go tomorrow to get the truck as my wife is not available to sign papers today, so tomorrow is D Day. Only reason I'm confident is that both GM and the dealers general sales manager told me the shipping company has 72 hours to get the truck from the rail yard to the dealer and if it hit the rail yard on Tuesday then today is the deadline.

Hope I feel the same way. Waiting on truck to be delivered from train yard to dealer right now and it's been there since last Tuesday. Dealer promises it will be delivered Monday but at this point I may just hold out for Thursday September 1st to see if GM offers 0%.

It's over! Hallelujah! Love the truck, the new truck smell and especially the much lighter parking lot steering thanks to the electric assist. Apple car play isn't as cool as I thought it would be and the 5th wheel prep package is a must if you want to tow for just $370.

Oh also, ordered up an AirDog II 165-4G, DT tunes on a Spade AutoCal and a CTS2 with EGT probe.

So I installed the CTS2, EGT probe and DuramaxTuner Spade tuning today. Everything was straight forward but man does that passenger side fender skirt have a lot of fasteners to remove. Loaded in the Sport/Econ tune and so far so good! No more dead pedal and the truck responds much better than it used to in all gears but I can feel that the Allison is still learning how to shift again. Truck now has 500 miles on it exactly so I can officially tow and haul ass. Speed limiter is gone which I tested up to about 105 before I pulled out so that's nice and the CTS2 is really nice with all of it's features. What temp do you guys let the EGT get down to before you turn the truck off?

Rail pressure is held pretty well but does start to fall off after about 5 seconds of near WOT so I will get the AirDog installed tomorrow when I have more time to do so. Can't wait to see difference in throttle response once that is hooked up.
