How much more transparent can Ford Chat be? “Micro Chip Hold” anything else or if you want information on what micro chip is holding you back should be addressed to your dealer and salesman.

We are lucky Ford Chat even provides updates because that’s not what they are there for. Last year Ford Performance Chat decided to stop the practice and just advised everyone to speak to their dealer. I suspect this will happen soon on Ford Chat.
A simple press release would be good, and likely a FTC/SEC requirement. Having worked at a DOW 30 company, I know how long the approval process can be to get this through Marketing Communications, but this is now well know, without an official announcement.

Question if I already have a Tear Tag number which is:

My Tear Tag # is CGV8 so is my truck fully built ?


Does that mean my truck is fully built and Ford is again telling me false information via Ford Chat ?
Unlikely that CHAT is aware of the service-build-modules research tool, it was designed for service technicians not customer service or retail customers to be looking at.

Tear tag indicates main line production is complete, but there could be additional work at body shop, not knowing your details a few more days might be needed, then the truck will update to BUILT and then pooled for a shipping schedule.

Taxman I saw my tear tag tag three weeks ago.

Yes, and you're one of the ones caught up in revision work of some sort that no one is willing to be forthright about and then we have those who are coming off the line staged and ready for the hit to a train loading ramp

Also note the regional order load @N38 is worse off than you

@TaxmanHog if I am reading the data correctly, the majority of the 5/9 blend week reported to the forum had either been delivered or had a shipment date.

This chip hold thing makes no sense. Could be that the forum members are just all really lucky.

Random luck as to proximity depth in the holding lot as to which vehicles the shuttle drivers can get them to the shop for final fixing and shipping, just my humble speculation.

Are you seeing any tends with the Ramp One code and chip hold? My Ramp One code has always been CJ59.

My friend who already took delivery and lives in NJ had a different Ramp One code from the start.

Only 1 non mannequin that has been delivered.

Interesting that CJ59 is MD I am northern NJ not any where close for MD.

Your work on the forum is amazing. Thank you for all you do.
