Start of 2022 Production.

So what's the general feeling on the missing passenger door "foam cup holders"? Should they be there and if not when it arrives at dealer, is the dealer supposed to order it as a missing item. Mine is missing if anybodys keeping count

Same here but I kept them from my totaled 2019.

How did u make out with financing? I told you Craig didn't give a sh!t.... Did you get any other rebates?

You were right about Craig! I got all the rebates available to me $2,500. The extra $1,000 even though I didn't finance with FCA an insane rate and Max Care warranty.

I noticed FCA has 0 percent for 72 mos on Big Horns right now. Ends the 28th and I didn't see it at the beginning of the month.

You and I have similar builds ordered on the same day. Are you in D1 now?

Yes, according to my dealer but no date. Ram chat told me all the parts are picked and it is awaiting a build date.

I got the same response from Ram Chat yesterday.

Question for the Gurus…

I went into D1 on 1/28; my dealer told me that o have ESD of 2/27; after seeing all the changes in dates on the forum here I reached back out to my dealer and the salesman this time said i’m jn D1 which is great—it’s being built right now, but don’t have any dates…

Is it possible to go D1 with a date and then go back to D1 purgatory? Or would the GM (who told me original esd) just have better understanding/where to look then the salesman?

I reach out to Ramchat much more than i’d like to admit, and nothing has changed with what they are saying…”all parts received, will be entering build process shortly—usually takes 7-9 weeks to dealer from order date.”

Anything can happen.

Sounds like once you get into D1 Status and have a scheduled build date, everything seems to go forward as expected

keep in mind the ESD is actually the Build Date, not the day it leaves the factory.

Amazing news! I actually chatted with Ram Chat this morning and they told me the truck is already built and awaiting shipping scheduling to dealer and to check back in a week or two for an ETA.

there is no "D-1 purgatory" you are in D-1 or "D"
a week or so ago there was a plant shut down because of parts being delayed from Canada, that pushed everyone back a few days

the way it usually works is you are in D-1 for about 14 days as this is how far out management schedules work.

your POC will have an estimated ship date, that is the scheduled ship from the assembly line

always get your POC from the dealer for the correct information!

You were right about Craig! I got all the rebates available to me $2,500. The extra $1,000 even though I didn't finance with FCA an insane rate and Max Care warranty.

I am now forearmed thorough your experience. I'll take all the rebates available to me, and come in hot with a check from my credit union and be done with Koons. I am sitting at 25 days sitting at the rail yard with no ESD as of yet; therefore, I'll be going to get it sometime in March. Hopefully, there will be more incentives with Ram Truck Month.

Order placed at MD on 31DEC, arrived on their lot today (23FEB)!!

Hey, that's MY truck.... hand's off! ;P Mine should be there in the next day or two also... ordered 12/14.

I’ve been D1 for almost a month; so hopefully that means i’m on the assembly line soon

From what I've seen, your ESD is more than likely the actual build date as the truck literally can be built in less than 12 hrs, minus body vendor items. My truck was built on my ESD, and is now in inspection...... for 23 days now. Lol

 

[HAG1417]

Well finally I have all of my accessories installed with the exception of my mud flaps. I am not installing those until the undercoating is done and it goes in this Monday morning. Here are a few more pictures of it in my driveway. Thanks again to @Eighty and @triple_B for everything you both have done for me on this journey.

Do they really get it done that quickly? Paint and everything?

Yup. Search the Ram manufacturing videos on YouTube.
