Update on delay

[Mkarban]

Here is something to offer. My neighbor has a close friend at Ford Corporate. I'd thought to see if my neighbor would ask him if he knew any inside info on the delay.

His response as of 6pm CST: "Unfortunately, all he can do is be patient. There is a material hold right now due to supplier issues with a few of the bits. I will try to remember to drop you a note when it gets lifted, but I was told it may be a few weeks. Please apologize for the delay on our behalf."

Doesn't help us much, but I don't think anything is actually shipping, despite the rumors.

Anybody know where the Pace Truck is from the last NASCAR race? They had it running well

I heard it was actually a ram with Ford bits attached....

 

[poison123]

LOL so was the OKTB issued or not at this point?

 

[yenrod]

I have no certain clue, but my guess is no effen change from where we have been. It's starting to make the case that I really don't need this truck, starting to have bizarre other mid-life-esque ideas

but the guy in canada is getting his, basically, tomorrow.

The pace truck actually had a 5.0L in it.

Hey, tomorrow is a new month, the sun should come up, and Ford is going to get thier shit together, issue a press release and itll be all good. Im saying on the net so by default its true...

Another glass of scotch sounds good...

I'll take a Jim Beam.Time to open the Raptor Bar Forum.
Who will drink to that?

The OKTB was given.

At least one supply issue revolves around the 10spd transmission, but I am not sure if it is the entire transmission, a problem with some examples, or some sort of related parts. They have only been building the 10spd in numbers for about 30 days.

The plan is to have all of the on hold vehicles shipped by Xmas with a roughly two week time for transport once they leave the ramp. Apparently the timing for clearing the ramp depends on how close to the fence your truck is.
