I didn't want to hound my dealer too often, I've checked in with him a couple times. I've been pinging the online people from ramtrucks.com once or twice a week. it's a mixed bag - sometimes you get someone very helpful, sometimes not so much. The canned response they'd been giving me changed a bit on mon or tues - the person I got today confirmed that I've been in D1 for a week.
"All of the materials needed to start the build process have been received. The vehicle should be entering the build process very soon. Vehicle can stay in the current stage for a total of 30 days maximum it has been 7 days in this stage currently."
I assume this means that every part for my build is sitting in a warehouse, (and potentially tagged for my vehicle?) now it is just waiting for the day or two run when the facility decides to build black Laramies.
