Hello I work at Flint Assembly. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip through our facility. Over 1,000 people touched your truck to get it assembled. I work in Chassi 1 exhaust install on 2nd shift. I missed working on your truck. In one day we build on average over 1,000 trucks a day. It's a smooth operation to get this done. I hope you enjoy your truck for a good long time. It's Proudly built by UAW Local 598 members.
Jeff anyway to get a detailed update on a truck build I ordered? Dealer just says been accepted. I checked with the message bot and said accepted by General motors headed to production but been saying this for a while. Build# DDMJ1F
good luck. I ordered one last June (2023) it was built first week of January and being held for "quality inspection" ever since. it's been 2 months as of March.@@nicklouallen4784
Ah, the memories of when I worked there in the late 70's! Surprised to see it so familiar. I was a painter one year and I see that robots have replaced me. I used to paint the left door inside and out, dashboard, left side of box and left side of tailgate. I had a guy across the booth doing the other side. When I was there, they built GMC and Chevy trucks on one line and Blazers and Sububans on the other. Line speed was usually 62.5 trucks per hour.
Howard I think I was as excited as you were watching the video of your truck! By far the coolest video I have seen From your channel. Very rare to actually be on the assembly line participating and watching your little baby come to life. Congratulations! I'm looking forward to more videos of her! ❤
Truck guys won’t want to hear this… But if you really want to be impressed you should watch a Tesla being built. It’s like regular army vs. special forces!
It’s very exciting to see your own truck being built I totally understand because I also saw my 2011 GMC 3500 HD turbo diesel Z71 being built . It’s an amazing experience that I will never forget, in fact I love my truck more because of it . I took over 100 pictures and had the chance to talk with the GM workers . Those workers are amazing at Flint Michigan 🇺🇸 USA great team work. By watching your videos I know that the factory line has changed so much since 2011 . The body marriage is so different now and the truck are on a suspension conveyor belts , and they are putting the tires at last stage of the process . Back in 2011 the tires 🛞 were installed right after the frame and motor installation. Many improvements have occurred since then. God bless America 🇺🇸🇨🇦
Picked up my BMW 320d from the factory in Munich about 10 years ago. Part of the deal was a complete guided tour through the factory which showed the exact same technologies as this Chevy factory albeit much cleaner in Munich. Pretty cool to watch. At the end we went and picked up our vehicle after a lengthy orientation in the "showroom". A great experience and we were treated like royalty.
Fantastic experience actually watching your personal truck being built! Very few people will have the provenance of their actual truck like you do. I am happy for you to have been able to watch you watch your Baby being built! I bet you can't wait to pick it up back home. If it was me, I would have begged them to just let me drive it home. HA!!!
Awesome video. I've spent a lot of time in a GM plant. We originally lived in MA and my dad worked at the Framingham plant. Got transfered to DE to work at the Boxwood plant. Think they were building the Solstice before that one closed down. Now it's an Amazon hub. Anyway, did a few field trips with schools there over the years plus spent time after school waiting for dad to finish for the day. Watching that plant operate in unison with those robots was amazing! Now I'm 40 and my 4th GM truck is 10 days old sitting outside this same Michigan plant. 24' Sierra 3500 crew cab long bed gas at4! Ever since my first truck, my 04 Colorado, I've wanted a HD beast. Now I actually need it for work and it's a reality. I have had great luck with each truck. The truck my new one is replacing is a 2015 max tow 1500 sierra with 282k on it now. Still looks new. I've got almost 700,000 miles out of the previous 3. Looking forward to another 250k out of this one! Can't wait
I was skimming through the comments ( watched the video when it first came out as well ) as I have put an order in for a 2025 Chev HD 3500 standard bed with the L8T and that is why your comment stood out. I am curious how its been working out for you so far, over all truck wise mechanically as well as thoughts on the engine and mpg. Unfortunately I have been hearing about transmission issues with the 10 speed in the diesels since they have been out a lot longer then the 10 speed introduction into the gas in 2024.
Its so cool that Chevy recognizes you as a fellow trucker and gives the privilege. So I thank Chevy and thank you Howard, you are a great trucker and do deserve this extremely rare and nice approach of the General. Kudos.
OHH WOW,, I just found a 3500HD at my local GA dealer for $82K. wow. what a deal. 1/3 the price of house on depreciating piece of metal with 4 round rolling rubber things
Excellent video, cudos to you & to GM allowing you to get right in the thick of the assembly process ! Love your proper 8 foot bed - a real truck ! And the gorgeous RED metal flake - not boring grey primer color we see too much of. I miss my Chevy C3500 2000 MY dually 454 gasser. This truck will pull your 5th wheel like there's no tomorrow
Did you watch as the union guy put his beer can in your door? Btw, i was born and raised in flint. All along saginaw street across from the old fisher body plant were bars. Shop rats would go get plastered at lunch then stagger back to work.
Thanks for the video! Always nice to see the assembly line videos. Just bought a 2024 3500HD LTZ DRW. Traded my 2020 2500HD LTZ SRW. I went with the 3500 DRW this time to meet my cargo needs while towing my camper, car trailer, dump trailer, etc. loved my 2500. Miss it already. Here’s my feedback on my new truck. Pro’s: Increased horse power and torque. Con’s: 1. No Owner’s Manual comes with the truck. Dealers will tell you they are available to download. The last thing I want to do is look a manual on my phone and hope when I need to I have cell service. What a fail on Chevrolets part. For $83K I shouldn’t have to pay $80 for an owner’s manual. 2. The cigarette lighter sockets are gone. I use those to power different monitors for my camper/trailers that are brand new and require cigarette lighter socket. Now I have to buy an adapter. 3. The rear door handle locks are gone. I miss them. It was a nice convenience. 4. Trim under infotainment center is designed so the angle catches the sun and glares right in the driver’s eye. Another Chevrolet fail. 5. No 110VAC outlet on the dash or in the rear of the console. It moved inside the center console. A really bad idea. Now anything like a power supply that gets plugged in and is inside an area traps the heat. 6. Oil filter is still at a 45-degree angle instead of vertical. You can only partially pre fill the oil filter after an oil change and thus you have a “dry” start with zero oil pressure for a few seconds. 7. Still no external oil filter on the transmission. 8. Infotainment system no longer has a tuning knob. Forces you to swipe the system to get to a tuner. 9. The new wireless phone charger is finicky. Worked well in my 2020 model. 10. the vented seats come on by them selves and shut off by the selves. I'd prefer me manually turning them on. Like I do every time they shut off. It's hot down here on the gulf coast. Didn’t want a sunroof or transformer tailgate. A sunroof wouldn’t have stopped me for buying one if it was on the lot but a multiplex tailgate would have. I'm hearing the transformer tailgate will inadvertently open on its own and will hit the bumper causing a dent in the tailgate. the dealer said they recommend locking out the feature before driving. Honestly, I would have preferred the gen 2 L5P Duramax in my old truck and just kept it. Would have been a lot cheaper. But I do like my new truck. I just wish the engineers would take some input from people who actually use a truck as a truck and not design them in a vacuum.
I had watched this video back when it came out and decided to watch it again all these months later as I had recently put an order in for a 2025 HD 3500 although with the gas due to all the crap emissions on the diesel which I can see giving a lot of expensive grief after the warranty is past ( the emissions systems do not like cold weather in northern Canada unless the engine is worked hard ). I expect to not like the electronics and as of yet its all way over my head as I have never operated one with all the crap they put in every brand of new vehicle these days. And getting to that lack of a 12 volt dc outlet, that is so idiotic that they assumed no one uses them anymore. So my question to you is, what viable solution have you come up with to power your 12 volt devices ?
Glad that factory built your truck perfect. My black 2024 LTZ had some errors the workers missed. A dust nib in the paint on back driver passenger door. Noticed it a week after owning it, went to several body shops and they said they could try to wet sand or repaint but I chose neither of those two options. Small dent on front passenger rockers, luckily the paint wasn’t cracked or chipped. Front driver seat floor trim not lined up properly. Inexcusable for $75,000 truck. Already looking forward to getting a new one in two years. Pretty upsetting that I’ll have to be on the lookout for errors that shouldn’t be there from the get go.
I feel like your dealer should've caught that stuff during the PDI process and let GM know about it. Because if they caught it, they might not have let you taken delivery until all the issues were addressed.
@GilmanPando because you're imagining and exaggerating it. 99% of the time, the side of the road is empty and most of the time they're occupied by people with flat tires
Great job to the great workers at Flint Assembly! I love being part of the GM family and I get a chance to visit this and other plants in the area on a regular basis, Flint is my favorite though!
I remember last year when I was in Detroit for the first time ever. I went to the Ford plant and museum. It was the coolest thing ever for a truck nut. Can’t wait to see the next video. Thank You 🙏
Love this! One of the few videos of assembly lines where you see them filling fluids and checking alignment and stuff. Everyone usually glosses over that part. Very cool! Thank you!
Beautiful truck and great video. The robots in that place amazed me, when it flipped the bed upside down I thought I was looking at a die cast model set being assembled, it looked so light and effortless. The scale and complexity of everything is really incredible. What an awesome thing to see your own truck being built like that, living the dream!
The car lots in my area are packed with hundreds of beautiful trucks just like these. They are just sitting there for the admiration of us all. It sure is fun to visit them in their now natural habit.
Hope they check the transfer case out real good, mine acts up periodically and I was stuck a couple times, forcing it to stay in four-wheel-drive, because it wouldn’t come out of four-wheel-drive until I tricked the system. 12:29 FYI: it doesn’t like cold weather or water so if you’re launching a boat or you leave it in four-wheel-drive overnight outside, don’t expect it to come out very easily ! In my opinion, they should go back to the manual system, it works much better. Never had a problem with the older trucks.
Can’t wait for the review you do on this truck, in that video can you please tell us why you got rim of your Ram? Thank you Truck King! Edit- missed the video where you explained why you got rid of the Ram lol
Thats all interesting to watch being built..explains alot about why they are so hard to work on..dont believe it is worth the $100k price...bet it wont still be running and working in 46 yrs like my 1977 chevy squarebody..that cost about $5k when new.
We have a 2022 GMC double cab Duramax, 4x4 in that color. ALMOST 2 years old and your video makes me want to take the girl for a drive. That color in the sunlight is magic! Congratulations on the new truck!
My 2015 2500 HD was built in that plant. 136000 miles and it's been perfect. Runs and drives like a dream, 6.0 litre gas. Mine is red also, I think that year called it ruby red metallic. I love it. It's a Chevy also.
Partly due to this build video I had recently put an order in for the very same color, and now that you mentioned the movie Christine ... perhaps I should name my truck that when it shows up 🤣
Been driving my 2002 silverado 1500 since new. Looks like the only truck i will ever be able to own. 🥺 Too bad your truck will live at the dealerships though, with all those emission problems. Good luck.
2000 Chevrolet Express Van G3500. 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe LT. 2015 Chevrolet 3500HD Dually Crewcab Longbox Duramax. This is just what we have now. First Chevrolet I owned: 1954 Chevrolet Suburban. Dropdown tailgate. 235 Straight six with a Granny four speed. CHEVROLET FOR THE WIN!!!!! Nice video.
That was cool to watch. That had to be very exciting to watch your own truck being built. Very happy for you, and hope you have many enjoyable and trouble-free miles in your new rig. Enjoy your channel!
Its amazing growing up in the Detroit area and being able to take field trips to this plant, and the ford River Rouge factory tour. I feel bad for those who don't live close enough to be able to do so!!
I used to work at Norfolk Assembly building F series trucks. I've seen so many trucks be built that I'm perfectly happy if I never see another truck built.
Beautiful color too! Very cool how you got to report on this and give a play by play on what is going on! Awesome. I bought off the lot a 2023 Chevy 1500 Trail Boss Custom. Nothing fancy but it looks really good. Never had a Chevy and love it so far. Always was a Ford guy. Got it white.
Watch our latest series exploring Ghost Towns in the GMC Canyon right here! - ruclips.net/p/PLJYm3u1uhaZDuqQsumJt57eLIBwwlV5Di
Really cool of GM to allow you access to watch and film this - congrats on the truck!
GM does stuff like this from time to time, that's one thing I like about them.
They better let me if spend $100,000 at the communist company.
has to be ok'd by plant shift supervisor. If he says NO then you're SOL
What truck? That's not a real truck
If I paid over $100,000 for a truck, I'd expect them to let me go watch as well.

Thats an amazing number like 1 every minute. Hard to even imagine that
You might have built my vehicle 👍👍👍
If it is a’78 or ‘79, there is a 33% chance I did. There were three shifts at the time and I worked second shift.🙂
ha you probably painted my truck
The paint shop is in a whole new building now. This complex has gotten quite the face lift since your days.
When you look at the complexity of the modern vehicle, it’s amazing that there is so few issues.
Thanks for sharing this amazing process. But for $102k I would've expected a happier ending.
This truck should be no more than 50k. GM= con artists
@@Jeff-sp7bg Even 50k is really too much as there are houses within just a few miles of this factory that are priced under 50k.
That's CAD
Howard I think I was as excited as you were watching the video of your truck! By far the coolest video I have seen

It just amazes me how these robots work well with one another without arguing with each other and getting along very well.
Radiant red is the best color GM has right now. Gorgeous
I'm Pro Cevy/GM and this in an awesome video, Cudos to Chevy for letting you see your truck being built and video it. Chevy!!!!
Good. Pr too

I was also able to see my 2020 Silverado 3500 dually final assembly at Flint. Life changing experience that I will never forget.
Back in 95 I got to see Peterbilt build my 357 tri axle it was a great experience
Honestly, a complementary invitation to watch your truck be built for the insane price you paid should be standard at this point.

Congratulations! That was a once in a lifetime experience!
Congratulations thanks for buying one of our trucks built with pride
I didn't see mine made but sat down with the dealer and went over everything took 7 months but well worth it!!!!
Beautiful truck. May she bring you many years of good service.
Glad to know my wife was a part of this build ❤
Awesome video. I've spent a lot of time in a GM plant. We originally lived in MA and my dad worked at the Framingham plant. Got transfered to DE to work at the Boxwood plant. Think they were building the Solstice before that one closed down. Now it's an Amazon hub.

That’s awesome thankyou for sharing that was your best video yet
Who else is watching this in 2043 looking at these good old L5Ps get built?
My 2024 is still running great, they don’t build them like they used to! 😂
@@keithhall4009 nah 2026 was the beat year, glad they got rid of diesel emission regulations 👏😂
This comment is still true today in 2056. The new L20P's are absolute junk.
OHH WOW,, I just found a 3500HD at my local GA dealer for $82K. wow. what a deal. 1/3 the price of house on depreciating piece of metal with 4 round rolling rubber things
I like the fact the building is old and has that long history behind it, something genuine about that
BEAUTIFUL! Like a big piece of candy
You should be screaming put on lots of anti seize on every bolt for all the recalls 😂
9:32 Can't believe we got to see a shortbed regular cab in the mix,.was likely the only one built that day..
Excellent video, cudos to you & to GM allowing you to get right in the thick of the assembly process ! Love your proper 8 foot bed - a real truck ! And the gorgeous RED metal flake - not boring grey primer color we see too much of. I miss my Chevy C3500 2000 MY dually 454 gasser. This truck will pull your 5th wheel like there's no tomorrow
Excellent Episode and Very Cool you got to see your Truck being assembled!!! 😁
Wow, talk about the ultimate truck buying experience 😮
Did you watch as the union guy put his beer can in your door?
Btw, i was born and raised in flint. All along saginaw street across from the old fisher body plant were bars. Shop rats would go get plastered at lunch then stagger back to work.
2:48 Nice they let the drive shaft slam into the frame when they flip the chassis.
Great video sir. I would have never asked for anything less. Appreciation to GM for giving you the access to film you truck being assembled.
That was cool too watch they build the Chevy in gmc 1500 inner Wayne Indiana like 25 miles from where I used to live love this tour truck kings
Thanks for the video! Always nice to see the assembly line videos.

The red and assembly line reminds me of the movie Christine 😅 congrats on the truck 🎉
I suppose that means this truck of his will live forever then 😉
Does that model come with the optional pre-rusted bed ?
This is the most impressive truck video I've seen in a a wile, thanks. Róger from beautiful Costa Rica 🇨🇷
The level of precision and work to get that all working in sync is insane.
Current day GM and precision in the same sentence, that's laughable
Yea...gotta love that driveshaft smash against the frame when the chassis is flipped 2:39
Guys, I'm referring to the precision of the factory only, I am not all referring to the quality of the vehicles.

Just bought a 2024 2500hd duramax myself and love it, I had a 2007 2500hd LBZ duramax
I remember last year when I was in Detroit for the first time ever. I went to the Ford plant and museum. It was the coolest thing ever for a truck nut. Can’t wait to see the next video. Thank You 🙏

Flint Michigan was the place where my 87 c10 was made. I checked the vin numbers, and its nice to see a video of this place where my teuck comes from

thats awesome. i really enjoyed watching my corvette being built and taking part in the engine assembly
Now that was a great video!, fantastic you guys were able to do that and GM sees the value in allowing this to happen!
and you got the best color, lucky man
That would be awesome to see your order come to life. Adds a whole dimension to the process.
Enjoy your new truck
Howard, Pretty cool video! I have a brother of your truck from a different father. He is a 2023 GMC 3500. Already at 28,000 miles since January.
Same engine too.
Right on
These new 2024 Chevy's are sick looking!
That’s got to a really cool experience
Chance of a lifetime, I'd love to see my very own vehicle put together right in front of my eyes. Enjoy Howard!
Awesome video. I have been to a Ford plant and a Nissan plant and find it amazing, starting with rolls of steel to a completed vehicle.
Hope they check the transfer case out real good, mine acts up periodically and I was stuck a couple times, forcing it to stay in four-wheel-drive, because it wouldn’t come out of four-wheel-drive until I tricked
the system. 12:29
FYI: it doesn’t like cold weather or water so if you’re launching a boat or you leave it in four-wheel-drive overnight outside, don’t expect it to come out very easily !
In my opinion, they should go back to the manual system, it works much better. Never had a problem with the older trucks.
That was fun to watch! Chevy finally did right with their exterior design - nice looking rig!
God bless her. Beauty. Congratulations.
I can certainly see how running a pneumatic wrench while getting parts delivered to you equates to $100K annually.
Can’t wait for the review you do on this truck, in that video can you please tell
us why you got rim of your Ram? Thank you Truck King!
Edit- missed the video where you explained why you got rid of the Ram lol
What a fun experience to see the process! Fun video. Thansk
Thats all interesting to watch being built..explains alot about why they are so hard to work on..dont believe it is worth the $100k price...bet it wont still be running and working in 46 yrs like my 1977 chevy squarebody..that cost about $5k when new.
DM if you're interested on getting anew truck for rent and for sell
nice truck, can't believe they let the drive shaft flop around when flipping the chassis
Radiant Red is a gorgeous color!
love that color!
Congratulations on Your new truck. You’re going to love it. Mine is a real powerhouse, and I really think Gm has a winner here!
We have a 2022 GMC double cab Duramax, 4x4 in that color. ALMOST 2 years old and your video makes me want to take the girl for a drive. That color in the sunlight is magic! Congratulations on the new truck!
One of your best guys. Loved to see how the truck was assembled. Nice truck and great vid. TY.
That's a beautiful truck! I hope you enjoy it for many more years to come!
My 2015 2500 HD was built in that plant. 136000 miles and it's been perfect. Runs and drives like a dream, 6.0 litre gas. Mine is red also, I think that year called it ruby red metallic. I love it. It's a Chevy also.
That is very cool! I would've wanted everyone to autograph the build sheets. Probably no time for that though
Give us an update to when it first goes into the shop for work … seems like a lot of these new trucks have a lot of problems besides being expensive
Hey that's where I work at! ( In the sanitation department)
Enjoy...I am envious already...Cheers from Arthur, Ontario
Nice love the color it was definitely unique from all the other builds that day. It gave me Christine vibes being the only red one around lol
Partly due to this build video I had recently put an order in for the very same color, and now that you mentioned the movie Christine ... perhaps I should name my truck that when it shows up 🤣
Awesome video! Awesome seeing your truck being built like that!
Been driving my 2002 silverado 1500 since new. Looks like the only truck i will ever be able to own. 🥺 Too bad your truck will live at the dealerships though, with all those emission problems. Good luck.
2000 Chevrolet Express Van G3500. 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe LT. 2015 Chevrolet 3500HD Dually Crewcab Longbox Duramax. This is just what we have now. First Chevrolet I owned: 1954 Chevrolet Suburban. Dropdown tailgate. 235 Straight six with a Granny four speed. CHEVROLET FOR THE WIN!!!!! Nice video.
Awesome, educational and fun x 10000000!
Thank you for sharing!
That was cool to watch. That had to be very exciting to watch your own truck being built. Very happy for you, and hope you have many enjoyable and trouble-free miles in your new rig. Enjoy your channel!
Thanks 👍
Its amazing growing up in the Detroit area and being able to take field trips to this plant, and the ford River Rouge factory tour. I feel bad for those who don't live close enough to be able to do so!!
I used to work at Norfolk Assembly building F series trucks. I've seen so many trucks be built that I'm perfectly happy if I never see another truck built.
Very cool to get to see this, Thank you for letting us come along!
You bet!
Really neat to see inside the walls of Flint truck & bus.
Wow that was a great video. Congratulations on your choice of truck. I think it is a good one, I probably would do the same build.
Very cool to see them come together.
My 78 corvette was built there that's cool to know your truck got build and has been same places as my vett
Gmc right in front of it on the line. That in of itself is crazy... two brands, slightly different, coming through.
Beautiful color too! Very cool how you got to report on this and give a play by play on what is going on! Awesome. I bought off the lot a 2023 Chevy 1500 Trail Boss Custom. Nothing fancy but it looks really good. Never had a Chevy and love it so far. Always was a Ford guy. Got it white.
