After 2 weeks in Quality Control, my truck was finally released to an unassigned shipper. No ETA or method of shipping. Truck is in limbo. Haven't been able to produce a window sticker either. I thought at this stage a window sticker would be available.

How do you get status info from Ram or Ram chat or Ram cares?
Go to ram care, contact us.....click on chat....enter your info including VIN and VON....then they will come on and ask for your address, email, and phone number as they retrieve your build status. The status will be very generic and won't include build codes such as D1 or JS.

So what is your best suggestion for checking on the build codes? No point in me pestering RamCares if they can't tell me.

What do the build codes tell you that Ram Cares doesn’t in plain English? Just curious. Thanks.

Each code tells you the specific status of your build such as frame, paint, inspection, etc. This can be obtained from your dealer. But I have seen a lag time before the status is updated in their system. When I worked at a dealership, I have seen a truck jump from D1 (gate line schedule) to JS (paint) overnight with no codes in between.

You either have to pester your dealer or check with ram care. I check with ram care about every 3 days. I asked my dealer to let me know if he saw any significant change in my build. He is eager to receive the new truck in order to complete the sale and make money.

Ram care no longer gives the codes. They will tell you where your truck is in the process but will not use specific codes. I’m just passing along what I was told during a RAM chat.

Ordered 9/21, VIN 9/23, Build Sheet 11/16, Window Sticker 11/23, still waiting for delivery!

It has supposedly been at the railyard, just a few hours away, for almost a month. I am absolutely baffled that FCA is willing to lose the $70k sale by just not delivering it the last mile. Ram chat and the dealer both seem oblivious with no answers as to when it will be delivered. It makes no sense! This is the third Dodge/Ram truck I have ordered and it might be the last. It might not even make the sale, if they don't cough it up soon. Thank you for letting me rant here.

Still no sign of my truck. It is supposedly at the rail yard two hours away and has been there for over 30 days. Ram chat assigned someone to get in touch with me but they were absolutely no help and just sent a placating email. I called the dealer and they seem to have absolutely no clue or that’s what they lead me to believe. This is week 14 and still no truck and absolutely no clear path on how to move it forward.

HIt CHAT and put in your information . You must have your VIN and VON to move forward.
Not sure if that made it worse or not. Checked into it a few days ago. Was told parts were ordered, not received, up to 12 days. When asked about build time, was told 7-9 weeks. Not sure if that's 12 days+ 7-9 weeks, 7-9 weeks remaining or 7-9 weeks total (from 12/9). When asked for clarification, was told to check back next week.
I then realized I dont even know if shipping/delivery is in there. What about inspection/QC?
This is more than I bargained for. I just wanna pick something off the lot, now

I was told "the vehicle build process estimate is 7-9 weeks give or take" by Ram Chat. That was two days ago for my order placed on 12/21. So that's probably the generic answer they are told to give people.

Ordered Nov 27 and now is in Boston and should be at dealership within 2 weeks according to dealership.
I ordered mine on the same day. It's been in D1 for weeks, and originally had a scheduled build date of 12/23, but when I checked w/ RAMchat on Sunday I was told it is still in D1. I've been holding of on getting the $1500 bonus cash from the website, as I don't want it to expire before the truck is available.

Just got a text from the dealer. My truck is on the lot. 36 days from order to delivery. I'm not sure why there is such a difference between order times.

Excellent! Yeah, there seems to be massive variations between order and delivery times. No idea why.
