A few years ago I was talking to a vehicle manufacturer about a fleet order of 10 vehicles that was delayed. We knew each other really well so he admitted to me that they didn't have steering wheels in stock and the supplier was in Italy and they had the entire plant shut down waiting on steering wheels.
The trucks were getting built and delivered in 6 weeks back in Oct/Nov/Dec so it wouldn't surprise me if most of us who are waiting have a similar feature like air suspension, MFT, rambox, etc. that was holding things up.

Another email from FCA. Apologizing for the previously sent incorrect information. New date to expect the truck at the dealer is 3/6.

Hi, RAMTrkGN, what State are you in, if you don't mind saying? My order date was 1/6 and got the email with delivery of 3/23. I am in NJ. Trying to figure out how much of that time they are accounting for shipping. Thanks!

Hold onto your bridges boys get ready for 3 to 4 month delivery timeless!
If you been following my order paint issues including over sprayed bed liner on paint body... That saga has come to an end.. Body shop fixed most of the issues say it last night but wasn't washed fully since hadn't gotten there because of a thing called work... Anyhow they just had one last thing.. Replace one of the taillights cause would have been too difficult get the spray of... Wanted to see it in daylight to make final decision... So saw it today and would you know what the guy didn't replace the tail light.. how do I know cause I saw the bed liner flakes so on it... Same for tailgate...I tell the manager and sales guy.. The get secretive manager out... Trying to convince me it's nothing and they can still order new headlight.... Service is like point out all the specs... I'm like not eating more of my time either order me new vehicle or give deposit back... Got deposit back.... But no sorries nothing....
Anyway I went right after to Ram dealer around the corner from house to get a quote on new order... He earned me because of the microchip shortage andb other delays expect an order to be 3-4 months now.
Good luck all!

dang man that sounds tough... sorry to hear that. I've been told I ordered early enough (1/9/2021) that the microchip shortage won't affect my build. who knows if that's true though.

Just did so. Thanks!
So got word from the dealer today. Due to the chip shortage no timeline for the build. Mines a Sport (Canada only trim) so assuming the chips are not getting allocated to these. As it stands now I’m going to remove that option and hopefully move forward from there. Ordered November 23rd and probably another 2 months I would think before I see it which would bring me close to 6 months.
