Beadlock delay - any info on timing?

[Autophanatic]

There was a post on the Facebook group today where someone stated that their dealer received a bulletin stating that Beadlocks were no longer on constraint. Can anyone confirm and collaborate that info?

Sorry rohardi, can't offer anything constructive really to your question, but stopping in to say that it would make sense to me what you heard, as that is all my dealer has ever received so far--just the beadlock equipped trucks.

my dealer called yesterday said that my order with BL AND CF will be built soon and delivery by end of may. He said both CF and Bl is no longer constraint

Good to hear! My dealer has never admitted to the constraint, this whole order duration time for the '17's. I don't quite by that......but I do know they are producing them.

Any updates on this? My dealer is telling me there's still a holdup on these, but it seems several other local dealers are receiving trucks with BLs.

They seem to be flowing a little better at this point.

Mine locked in with both a few weeks ago

Mine was built March 27 with the beadlocks. My dealer has told me this entire time, since my July order, there has never been a constraint on them. Hard pill for me to swallow.....but, regardless, most of my dealer's trucks that have shown up for model year 2017 allocations have had the forged wheels. All I know for sure is the flow of beadlocks has never stopped in my region.

If you do an analysis of the VIN sequences vs the build dates it's almost certain that beadlocks, at least at one point, were causing delays. If I remember right starting in about December the delay began with an average delay of about 7-9 weeks. Dealers are a unique species that simply make up stories instead of saying "I don't know".

Oh I know. I chose "Autophanatic" for a reason LOL! Been through 49 vehicle purchases since 2000--I've seen a lot of shenanigans over the years with dealers.....

Damn, Autophanatic. You have some special build or your dealer holding out on their allotments?
