By the time that showed up for me, it was pretty much built already. It was supposedly in paint (code F) 2 days prior to the build sheet showing up. As of today, the code is KZM, first rail departure. So already on a rail car on the way here 4 days after the build sheet. I got the window sticker...
It's pretty worthless. You'll get better info just calling your dealer for an update once a week. Half the time Jeep Chat people tell me they can't see the order codes. I checked with them Monday night, and they told me it was D1, and that's all the info they showed.
Stopped in at my dealer on...
Just stopped by my dealer to check the status. Showed D1 yesterday per Jeep Chat, dealer computer today shows F, with est ship date of 2/3. Yep, torroew. Doesn't seem accurate, but we'll see. One thing I noticed is it only shows est ship date, not est delivery date.
OP - great perspective!
I will add that if gas ever gets put into my truck, it will be because my wife is using it and decides to fuel up. ?
We're going to have a serious training session when we get the Gladiator about exactly how to fuel the thing. She has never put diesel in a vehicle in...
It's not about forgetting you have a diesel. It's more about being distracted (getting a text or phone call, being bitched at by your SO, etc) when fueling and grabbing the wrong handle. Or alternatively going to the one station that inexplicably colors their pump handles opposite everyone else...
Every gas station has green handles on their diesel pumps - except BP. BP is opposite, their gas pumps are green, diesel are black. Going to a BP station is probably the most likely way to put the wrong fuel in. I will never get fuel at BP because of this.
That's funny, "Maurice" is who told me today that they can't see build status codes anymore. ?
"Maurice (1/15/2021, 4:51:10 PM): We unfortunately no longer have status codes at customer care, only the description of the status. This is the stage right before we start building the gladiator as...
I watched the Gladiator factory build videos on YouTube. Looks pretty efficient to me. Looks like any options integral to the interior/dash (aux switches, adaptive cruise, etc) all get pre-assembled and then the complete dash, firewall-back, get installed as a complete unit.
When did you order...
