✅ 9/11/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

[tejones777]

I've been silently watching this. My "blend date" was 9/17/2023, but will be delayed to 9/20 or 9/21. I don't understand how people are seeing the "module build data." Most of prior links for tracking don't seem to work for me, saying my order number is invalid. I assume "TaxmanHog" has special non-public ways to get all this great info?

But the biggest mystery to me is the "rumor" that nothing has shipped from Ford since July, and there's a backlog of 10,000 or so trucks just sitting in Michigan, waiting to be shipped. Do I understand that right? I saw one suggestion that they're awaiting a backordered chip then they'll all ship. Is this correct? If I understand this right, the module build data, and 3-4 day delays, don't matter. The real delay is the 2-3 months after build until shipping, possibly due to a backordered part?

No special inside access, I'm using the same public trackers others are using.
Ford-USA production date line

Make sure you're inputting the VIN accurately, no spaces, I use cap's for letters, your order code is 0407 (numbers)

Ford-Service-Info module data is not going to show any program codes until the afternoon/evening of your build day (depending on what hour of the day it makes its pass.

Oh?! I didn't know that was my order number. I was using the big long many digit order number, not this little 4 digit one.

Thanks TaxmanHog, thanks for all the time and work you've put into helping us. - tj.

It’s not clear, but the order number that form wants is the DEALER order number (which is 4 digit), not your 8 digit order number.

Blend date of 9/15. My tracking page just updated to In Production. Hoping to see some modules popupate Monday or Tuesday

Darn it, 9/14 blend date still waiting patiently.....

I updated my order number, guess I got it wrong.

I'm in the same boat. 9/14 blend, have zero updates on anything. Let me know if you start seeing modules pop.

 

[TaxmanHog]

@snowy_91 your codes are loading as a 9/14 blend day, your brothers on this build day are still waiting though.....

Cool, it must have just happened in the last couple of hours. Still needs to spend a bit of extra time to install the hard folding cover.

Any news on mine?

Hey all! I'm late to the party but have info others may find helpful. I ordered my Antimatter Blue Metallic XLT 312A on 7/18 and got a 9/11 build week. Just registered to the forum order tracker a few days ago. If I'm reading the window sticker correctly I'm between @uccbcc and @MileHighVoltage in the production queue with a 9/12 blend date. I'm showing all kinds of codes on the As Built tracker on motorcraftservice.com, which were there this morning but not yesterday so that's progress. No email from Ford yet and still showing In Production on the vehicle tracker on their website. Awesome support and info in this thread for status tracking and updates, thanks especially to @TaxmanHog.

No codes yet for the 9/15 group

BUT

@Stonetrap you have tear tag and current status

later 9/14 builds aren't showing yet, maybe later today

 

[JRT]

I wonder if Ford held the inventory to ship during this strike?

9/14 Build date - Modules popped this morning. Tear tag was available after lunch. Good luck everyone!
