input your VIN on this site Ford-Service-Info the section with lime green highlights will fill with codes, pink area is where your tear tag will populate, it its presence indicates the programing is done.

Ok I see So the moment that I see my Tear tag and End Of Information ; that mean the truck has entered production ?

By that point it's mostly done running down the line, only things that will hold up a BUILT date are QC failures and visit to the spray in liner shop (other members heading that way) I see you did not order factory liner per your sticker specifications.

Good news from UAW presser this morning that Ford will not be hit with expanded strikes like Stellantis & GM. Hoping this relieves some of the tension with Dearborn if there is any at the moment.

Yes, this is an unusual situation because of the recent plant capacity expansion coinciding with new solutions for technical issues with recent updates to program code, extra QC reviews and a smattering of parts availability issues, 98% of the 46 vins spanning build weeks 7/31 to 9/18, have not shipped yet.

Ok I see !

Let's hope things return to normal ...Good news is their is no strike at this time from the UAW on the Rouge plant !

Happy blend day to me, happy blend day to me

(theoretically, not practically)

There is approx a 4-5 day delay in production at the moment, @Puffin 9/20 blend day actually went into production on 9/25 he has a tear tag also., the rest of you can anticipate a similar offset when searching for your codes and "In Production" dates.

The 9/25 build week is the largest planned production to date at 2997 trucks, so many and in combination with the delayed start, they have curtailed the following two build weeks plan downward to 2453 in b/w-10/2 and 1767 in b/w-10/9, hopefully by then the factory will be back on track and b/w-10/16 will kick off ontime that Monday.

Is it possible that Ford update the tracking site on friday or something like ? I haven't got any change since my reservation ; I guess it's a good news that my build week hasn't be move ... my truck is 552/2997; Are they going down the line in that order it has nothing to do?

My blend date was the 27 ; Am expecting to see thing Tear tag or something showing on the weekend ... I keep refreshing everything in hope to see my truck being at least built !

 

[Tfarrell73]

It's currently 6 days behind. I have 9/22 blend date and just got modules loaded today. No teat tag yet

This is the highest volume build build week so far [9/25] at 2997, but all your trucks are standing by while the plant wraps up last weeks work which is behind schedule, they have been behind for several weeks now.

The production plan for next and the following weeks have been curtailed to allow a catch up, hopefully build week 10/16 will be on time.

At this point I'm actually relying on everyone reporting in when a substantial change occurs.

Things that would help:

• All members stick to their own build week for reports, others can read and send reactions (likes) or congrat's when deliveries occur, otherwise remain silent unless you would like to help a newbie with researching techniques.
  
  
• All members can report when a substantial change occurs in their build week thread. (new action dates In Production, Built, Shipped Preparing for Delivery)
  
  
• No comments need for negative reports that's frustrating for everyone to see the negatives and worse so when folks are cross posting negative data or observations outside their own thread.
  
  
• Doing the above will streamline the content of useful data, I'd recommend, you monitor a couple of the weeks preceding your build week to get a feel / sense for what's coming down the pike for your build.
