Sweet! I sure hope this is real as I was expecting a much longer wait getting the diesel JT all buttoned up. Maybe they removed all bugs with the diesel JL???? The thought makes me feel better anyway. I prefer not to be a guinea pig with a first run vehicle and or motor, so we are technically not the first run??????
Patrick might email you soon. Just got an update from him. 8/28 1:59am estimated ship. Seems a little suspicious. @WMWHV posted the same but they might all be running down the line at the same time. Who knows.So, have all the 2020s left the plant? I'm guessing they would have had to switch over to the 2021 production line to have a 30 day build time, right? Anyone know how many they produce a day? More specifically, does anyone know when MINE will be delivered!?!? Feeling very Veruca Salt today.
The dealer gives it to you. You should have gotten an order sheet when you ordered with a VON - Vehicle Order Number. Within a week, the dealer should be able to go into the dealer system and print out another copy that has a VIN too. At some point after that, when he prints it, it will have estimated shipping date and status codes. The whole process is explained in the section of the Forum on ordering and tracking. I started this thread in the diesel section because there are a lot of us who have been moaning for over a year about how badly we want our diesels and this is a way we can share our diesel-specific misery while we wait and compare notes on other diesel builds.
He sent me an email yesterday. Said mine is D1 and scheduled to ship 9/1! Didn’t get an exact minute but whatever. Super excited and impressed by their turnaround.
D1 means that all the parts are available for it to be built. There's usually a 30 day turnaround, so that sounds about right for a shipping date, but it seems that the shipping yard/rail has been slow to ship.
Yeah, I’m hoping the recent delay in shipping was due to backlog and should be more on track by the end of August. Either way, I’m glad it’s not going to be October.
Did he attach the print out? It should have a date/time
I have a travel trailer on order scheduled to come off the line in Indiana 8/23. Wish I could just pick up the Jeep in Toledo, drive the 2.5hrs to Indiana and skip the shipping/transport of both...
Not only would that be ideal, but it would probably save you money. My 2020 Ram EcoDiesel took nearly 30 days to get to the dealer. It was delayed getting out of the shipping yard, then it was delayed after it came off the rail car. My dealer said that everything is backed up.
