84135650 Exhaust gasket. None on hand at my local (030) PDC. Ordered CSO for customer qty 1, of course changes to qty 5 and backorders. Try to add SPAC case, "Quantity does not exist for this vehicle." Contact DPAC on chat, and this is the BS scripted response I get: "I have good news! As I checked, there's no need to upgrade the order to a SPAC case since there are stocks at various US facilities, pieces in transit and open receipt and the estimated delivery date to your dealership falls between 07/26/2024 to 08/05/2024. You can check future updates in the Backorder Report in Parts Workbench Plus. Please note that these dates are estimates and subject to change."
REALLY? There's stock at various other locations??? You don't say?!? THAT"S WHY I WANT A SPAC CASE ADDED!
The second response from DPAC: "Sorry but if the part is urgently needed, it can be ordered as CSO3 as there are stocks available at various facilities. I'll be happy to assist you in placing the OVN order. Thank you."
I've been doing this for over 11 years, and I still cannot believe how much GM will fight to NOT send you a part. We all know the reason at this point: They will NOT pay to OVN anything they can get out of. Major backtracking since the strike to get the money back they lost. Screw the dealerships and customers.
