Wow, we’re up to 5/25 now. Breakneck pace over there in Dearborn.

My 5/25 blend showed nothing this morning, then few hours ago....bam, modules. Should hit soon. I almost closed out after expecting no change....
Almost half way through our week of 5/23. This is not happening fast, but at least it is progress. Keep them moving vs getting tucked away in the back corner of a lot like the first 3 to 4 weeks did.

That is the standard status they have put on all orders. It comes from the Vehicle Visibility report and why Ford can't update that is beyond me. Or they truly are doing some amount of testing on each truck and that is it's hold status. To say the least almost every one of them say it. Mine has for 2 weeks.

Yep! Mine finally popped! I wasn't expecting more than 200 modules. Do we know what any of that means?

Do a search for Forscan (don't misspell it). That is a tool you can connect to your truck through the OBDII port and make changes to those modules. Depending on trucks and options you can force the fog lights on with high beams (Bambi mode) you can turn off chimes when locking, if you are real good you can add features.

To say the least those codes tell your truck what options and setting you have. With the right tools they can be modified. Just be warned, don't screw it up :)

There is a thread or two on this forum, but they are dead at this time. They came from the ICE trucks before the forum was split. I'm hopeful in a few weeks we'll start to learn about what can be modified if anything on our trucks.

Do we have any information on how long it takes to get the email saying your truck is built after you get a tear tag or modules show up?

24-48 hours if a transport is ready for loading as this has occurred

I’m going on day 7 (as of tomorrow) with no build email after the tear tag. My place in line is 103/470.

I noticed some people add to their signature all the info about when they ordered, when their blend date, production date, etc... that helps as we try to see what POV you are coming from in your situation. Certainly no offense intended in this comment. I just changed my sig 30 min ago.
:cool:
