I guess mine came after this update, I've had it 9 days now. But what I have seen in my UC5 12 inch is once in a while I'll hit the starter button to accessories (no foot on brakes) and the Radio sort of lights up black, no display images and no sound or function. I'll have to cycle back to off, open the door, wait at least a minute and close the door and try again.

It's not yet happened with foot in the brake and hitting the actual starter cycle, but I've only gotten 170 miles on it. I daily drive my 2004 Grand Prix GT... the road salt beater.

Man Larry, every time I see you post I look at the avatar photo and drool. I ordered the patriot blue with the NE and I don’t know if it’s gonna look as good as yours with the chrome. I’m pretty sure you have the best lookin truck on the rode.

I completely agree. In doing stage you recover things to be faster so it's just more of a let down when it's just as slow

I’m in the dreaded D stage. It sucks here. There is no bright side and the tunnel is too long to see the end. I am on this forum everyday and at The end of last week it feels that I‘m not seeing the flurry of posts saying I got my sticker.
I don’t know what I’d choose If I was lost in the desert without water or had the choice to get out of D stage. It’d be a hard choice.

Completely wiped out!!! Made the 14hr haul from Lake Charles back home and just got the truck in the garage. This truck is everything I imagined/hoped it would be! Put just over a thousand miles on it bringing it home. Only hiccup is figuring out the Apple CarPlay. Synced the very first time at the dealership and refused to sync afterwards. I’ll try to look into it after I get some much needed sleep. Pics I have from today show it dusty and dirty, I didn’t have them clean it up since I’m taking the truck in for ceramic coating/rust protection on Tuesday. I’ll post some better pics after the full wash and detail.

Great looking rig!

I had the same issues with CarPlay. Try to go and reset radio from Uconnect menu, it should address the problem.

I have gone back to the very 1st thread on here and tried the links, but am not getting anything..Im looking for an appx build date, or ship date.. heck, anything...

I ordered a 2022 tradesmen crew cab short bed 6.7 with nothing to crazy for options. Was told 10-12 weeks. I placed my order on 9/17 and the truck hasnt been built yet. Supposedly they have all the parts now and should be built soon. Im hoping to see it before new year.

Your dealer has access to that info. Additionally, if you know an insider, they can also pull the info.

I’d think that also would be a problem. The factory pays for their labor and the dealer is independent of that. So then you’d have to deal with all the bs involved in the factory paying the dealer. Remember the dealer is completely independent of Stellantis/Chrysler. They just sell what Chrysler makes.

TTPMS comes in a bag, Cameras in separate boxes - no Dealer labor involved unless you count receiving a parts pkg and calling buyer.

True. But in a (presumed) case like this they could easily cover the cost of a dealer install item to open up the delivery (I'd take mine if it's cameras and install way down the road when they come in, thanks). Under a warranty or recall situation, the dealer is reimbursed from the manufacturer at book time to complete the repair. Go over-it's on the dealer. Refuse-no dealer no more. "So, OK, we can deliver this truck to you so you can complete a sale so maybe we can move on to get you trucks, all you gotta do is install BSM's-the truck's already programmed and wired".

Best source of info is your dealer assuming they are the helpful kind of dealer. I would be bugging Dealer especially on an order that old. They should be able to get you a current Status Code - see first page here to decode., but codes will go from BA = ordered to KZ = shipping - indicating where truck is relative to build. One other thing - if you have the POC sheet, check the Build Priority Code bottom right - it should be 1 or maybe 01 (but not 99). Your POC will have Estimated Ship Date at top - but this date is relatively meaningless in most cases.

Many trucks seem to stay in C, D, and D1 status for long periods, typically waiting for parts or ??? Guessing you are one of these if you ordered in June - (no one seems to have rhyme or reason as to which ones are still stuck in this black hole - build of 2022s started in early August). But there is hope, many of these trucks have escaped in last 3 weeks or so - roughly 70% of the May-July orders are now complete thru build according to the Spreadsheet.

But once you pass D1 things seem to move pretty fast. Mine jumped from D1 (ready to build) to JS (storage) with no info inbetween. Theoretically Dealer can track truck thru the build process in greater detail once it enters build - and if you get an update from dealer at time it is between D1 and JS, you might get the Paint status, etc. but as I said, they generally move fast to JS (storage) (it has been said 8 hr to build).

Once it is built, it should show up on the Equipment list search, but nothing will show up until it is built. Once it is complete and in Shipping stage, it will generally show up in the Window Sticker search, but not before it is ready to go. You can search Equipment Lists and Window Stickers thru the options listed on Page 1, but as I said, nothing will show up there until truck is actually built. As to the Spreadsheet, It is dependent on the same resources you have for the most part, but it should show Available in blue when you have Equipment List or Window Sticker

Good Luck

Personally, I dont want Dealer working on the innerds of my truck unless it is necessary. I certainly would not want them disassembling dash to install touchscreen or internal sub components or removing headliner to install camera wiring. Not so much a Cost and who pays issue as the current Labor shortage of properly trained technicians plus the fact that some things like headliners do not lend themselves to successful reassembly.

But in my case it appears to have been the TTPMS sensors - those and the external Trailer Cameras are Customer Install items packaged with truck, but not part of truck. That would make sense to ship short. And I would be OK with replacing a relay that does not require major disassembly or flashing software but thats pretty much where I would draw the line.
 
Ram chat told me yesterday my truck will be at the dealership on 11/15 . Do I believe them no I believe they are getting tired of my bugging them. Drove bye this morning and no truck. Been in Baltimore for over 4 weeks waiting on transportation to dealership only 85 miles away.

That really stinks. Unfortunatly in todays climate (shortage of truck drivers) the long hauls pay more and the short hauls just sit. My brother works for JB Hunt and they are hiring 350 drivers per week! So the driver shortage is real.
 
Anyone out there with 5th Wheel / Gooseneck Prep with Trailer Tech and TowMode Camera/Digital RearView pkg?

Trying to find out what connectors you have and where? Specifically WHAT IS IN BED? Pictures would be appreciated.

Best, Ed
