My original blend date was 8/26 and my modules populated at noonish today. YMMV.

Just got my modules as well, my blend date was 8/27. From looking at the sequence numbers, the line now works as expected again, but our week was not make up the 4 days lost in the 8/15 build week. We might actually added another 1/2 day to a day.

To set expectations- original blend day plus 4-5 days gets you in the ball park.

Fingers crossed, shipping will be extra efficient! Good luck!

Dumb question, I know... but my blend day is supposed to be today. I know @Pioneer74's was too and he was moved to 09/06. With nothing showing on the sticker, how am I supposed to tell that it has been moved or things are progressing as normal?

My blend date was 8/31. Fully realize it's now probably pushed out a few days.

Regardless, I checked this morning and as expected - no modules.

I'll continue to check every morning until something changes.

I think based on the sequencing I should be first among this group (83/426). So once I have modules everyone should follow very shortly thereafter.

This is what I was asking, in a different way. The only way to tell if it's gone through is via modules popping?

Yeah, I think that's the case. My sticker still says 8/31.

I'm by no means an expert, though. I've intentionally avoided getting too far in the weeds on the other build week threads and all the different methods of tracking either at Ford or via the trains/trucks.

I figured I'd learn all that stuff once my time came. So I guess that means I'll have to start figuring this out better now.

I just did a quick sweep of VIN's no one has modules popping yet.
As these appear, it's a clear indication the production process has started.

@TaxmanHog Am I taking this tracker too literal when it states that I am "In production"? Today was supposed to be my blend day, but I know there have been some delays.

Your order will show as "in production" about a week before the scheduled blend date.

I'm paying more attention now to the build process since It's our week. Would someone explain or direct me to a thread that explains the advantage of activating your vehicle in Fordpass & is this the only way to find if your modules have popped. I've read of the disadvantage in another thread of someones vehicle getting held because of doors locking & unlocking. I can understand the desire to track your vehicle's location when in transit. I can probably just wait until it's actually mine before I activate it unless there is a really compelling reason to activate it at first chance.

You'll actually see a date on the order tracker page under "In Production" a day or two after modules populate.

You'll want to see this sticky: LIGHTNING ORDER DECODING & TRACING GUIDE You won't need to activate FordPass (and you won't be able to, prior to build anyways) to see modules.

Everyone else answered about the Ford Pass, but with regard to modules popping, you need to research your VIN on this site to see the module codes and tear tag, when you see these then it's likely you will be able to attempt a connection to the truck in Ford Pass

This is the thread that has me thinking I can wait until it arrives.
