    I'm happy for you that your truck is built. But seems like moving to the next phase each time has been quite long for you. I'm sure it will be worth it when it arrives because it is such a beautiful, well designed truck. But that probably just makes the long wait harder. Would love to see...

    Must be incredibly frustrating after waiting this long for delivery. My sympathies to you.

    Dropped oil filler cap into engine bay, any ideas?

    Do you think an endoscope would help? Amazon shows multiple at less than $100. Might come in handy for other projects too.

    I ordered a Longhorn Limited on 2/28. Still waiting for build to start. Do you remember what approx date you saw build sheet and approx when you saw window sticker?

    ‘21 5.7 ETorque shuts off while driving

    Sorry to hear this SoFloRebel. Jesusdiaz23 said he was going 5mph when it happened to him. How fast were you going?

    New GMC Yukon Arrives - I bid y'all a fond adieu (or is that FONDUE?)...

    Congrats on the new Yukon! I rented a Yukon last year and a Suburban this year, both for multi-week road trips. Liked 'em both -- they drive well for long trips, get decent mileage and are comfortable. I liked the 2021 better because the cargo space is easier to load. Enjoy your new wheels!

    My sympathy to you & Mass Diesel and others in the same place. I'm right there with you. I've been posting my progress as it happens so others can get a sense of what may happen with their orders. My order was on 2/28 and still waiting for a solid production estimate. My biggest...

    The news keeps getting worse. Yesterday I posted that RAM reset my "D1" date. Originally both RAM chat and my dealer told me 4/16. Yesterday both RAM chat and my dealer told me that RAM reset my D1 date to 4/30. Not sure what happened to the parts that they said were already in-house...

    You might have run into the same issue that I did. I ordered 2/28 -- just a few days before you. RAM told me that all parts were gathered on 4/16. However, when I used RAM Chat today, they said that I reached my current status on 4/30. It is as if they reset my D1 state to be 2 weeks later...

    Major disappointment today.... RAM reneged on me. Begin rant: I ordered my RAM on 2/28. RAM chat moved me to D1 status on 4/16. I have this from a saved RAM Chat. I have 4 RAM chats saved on later weeks confirming the D1 status. Also my dealer confirmed the transition to D1 on 4/16. A...

    Hi c3k, If you take physical delivery of the RAM in Seattle, do you have to pay Washington sales tax? Or does the dealer have some way of avoiding this? Also, can you get a temporary license that allows you to drive it home to NC? I've been thinking about a "fly and drive" myself, but not...

    I have a question for some of you who are more sophisticated about the car business than me…. Do customers of higher volume RAM dealers get faster deliveries for factory orders? I’ve noticed that delivery performance on orders in the last ~10 weeks vary widely, based on posts in this forum...

    Hello Keith12 -- My situation is similar to yours. I ordered on 2/28 and hit D1 on 4/16 for a Longhorn 10th Anniversary edition. Earlier today my dealer said that my estimated ship date was 4/29 (yes -- that is yesterday). RAM Chat is consistently telling me the same "all material is...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I am very impressed -- this kind of reasoning leads to much happiness in life. You got a good deal, your dealer got a good deal, and the person who bought your BMW got at least a fair deal. Great attitude!

    If you bought a truck that's not a Ram

    I went with the 2021 RAM 1500 for my first truck buy for two non-truck reasons: The incredible limousine-smooth ride and the luxury trim inside. Now I'll haul my stuff around in comfort. If not RAM, I would have bought an F150. Not for any of the solid reasons that people above me have...

    Got an update today that might be helpful to others. My dealer texted me this morning that my truck moved from D to D1 status today. So I decided to check with RAM Chat to see how they changed their description: RAM Chat on 4/8 - D status Thank you, I can see your order is in the scheduling...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Huge thanks to people on this thread! Your insight saved me a bunch of $. First off, let me say that I hate negotiating. Always have. Normally I just take the Costco price and avoid all the messiness. That's what I did this time as well. Got 9.5% off MSRP on my order. Then I started...

    I used RAM Chat yesterday -- the 45th day after truck was ordered. RAM chat person escalated my case. Got the email below today. Nice to have the email, but it seems mostly like a pacifier. Somehow it seems far-fetched that Jeff will get RAM to reorganize the production flow to put my truck...

    Longhorn color combinations

    Hi Matrixband, I had the same favorite interior and exterior colors as you have. As an engineer, I decided to use a rational decision-making process. Estimate factors such as paint robustness due to sunlight/salty air, comfort on hot/cold days, how well it complements/clashes with your...
