Order Tracking
- Thread starter firecadet613
- Start date
The dealer is just as confused. They don’t have any details either. What’s really interesting is I was getting status updates through ram chat. Now all they say is it’s being escalated and someone will contact me in 2-3 days. No one has contacted me. Oh well. I guess keep waiting.
That sucks. As far as ETorque being the issue, a few of the vehicles we are still tracking, have moved to KZ status, a few have ETorque. Not enough to be definitive, but a bit positive. And no, no more tracking is available, FCA cut off our access

In case delays are package related, I have an order placed for a 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie, crew cab long box, with the following packages/options: black paint, e-torque V8, level 2 equipment w/12" screen, bench seat, power running boards, deployable bed step, off road group, bed utility group, 3.92 axle, trailer brake controller, rubber floor mats, and rear wheelhouse liners.
My current timeline:
12/3 - Order Placed
12/4 - D
12/14 - D1
Still in D1, no estimated ship date. Haven't heard anything from the dealer or RAM customer support on factory shutdowns or delivery timelines.

So there is no more tracking even for the orders currently being tracked?
If you are on the spreadsheet, you are being tracked. No new orders are being tracked
My truck hit G right at shutdown. Means I have a frame and is ready to trim. Stuck on assembly line now for next 3 weeks. Expected ship date according to dealer is 1-14-2019. Apperas to be correct. The assembly line starts up that day. So I guess it will get finish assembled that day. Might be bad. One of first trucks after workers get back from layoff. On the other hand all equipment will have had the maintenance done.

Unfortunately the dealers have no idea of a real ship date, or any date. It's on many threads here. At least it is getting started. Seems that's half the battle. The other half is actually getting it shipped. But I think it's worth the wait. Enjoy

My truck made it to F today was G yesterday. I saw another member on here saying that they heard from fca that the plant wasn’t shutting down so they could catch up on other orders. I also found this article and looks like they are going to stay running until the 1st. I guess we will have to keep our fingers crossed. I would think that they wouldn’t want to keep anything on the assembly line so they can do Maintenance. https://www.autonews.com/manufacturing/fca-extend-holiday-shutdowns-2-north-american-plants
Normally goes from F to G. F being painted, G installing all trim and components. I read that article and it still says the same thing. They are extending holiday shutdown at Sterling Heights. That means they are shutdown this week for holidays through Jan 1 and then will be shut down for maintainence Jan 2 through Jan 14. Unless they get some guys to work overtime this week, don't expect much. I will check with my dealer on Friday to see if my status changes. Never know. Would be better if someone who works at Sterling Heights was on this forum. There is one guy who works at the stamping plant who said a lot of guys work through the hoilday. That is a separate plant.
Lucky you. You beat the shutdown. Looks like your truck is headed to outside vendor to do bedliner or some add on. Then should become KZ. I am not so lucky. Mine stuck in G. Probably no progress until Jan 15

Question now becomes can they do the Bedliner and get it shipped during shutdown or is mine waiting until Jan 15 as well...
You would think someone needs to do final inspection, then invoice it and park it for transfer from assembly plant. Have no idea on that part of process or who does it. You would think they would like to clear vehicles out of the holding area during the shutdown.

Yes I am using the chat. Just providing my vin and am asking them for the status code
Just checked with chat. Still stuck in G. I am sure it has not even hit the assembly line. The plant is shutdown until Jan 14. It is not likely it even hit that part of the plant considering they are doing major maintenance at that plant. Can't imagine having a bunch of partially completed vehicles on the line while waiting to maintain equipment. Only completed paint for sure. So now I wait.
Checked on my Laramie Sport today (no E-torque). It suppose to arrive at my local (Omaha) rail-car distribution center on Jan. 5th. Likely delivered to dealer 3 to 7 days later.
