For my fellow Mark Dodge people, how accurate was your ETA window? I'd be ecstatic if I can pick this up before xmas this year! About 20-ish pages back there was a lot of talk of delays at Port Allen. Just curious if that was taken into account or not with the window provided. Will have to book a last minute flight at some point. Getting excited!

Still waiting and mine was 11/22 to 12/03. Now its 11/29 to 12 13. So yes expect a wait at Port Allen. Mine was loaded on a rail car in MX 11/10

You could have checked the LED headlight option. Its $995.00 I think.

I couldn’t check any box. That was on their end. That said I made it clear that I wanted the LEDs so if it doesn’t come with it for whatever reason I might just reorder.
Sounds petty I know but after waiting what will be nearly 6 months I refuse to drop $1500 more into headlights + alphaOBD + harnesses that could have been from the factory.

My truck is still at Port Allen since 11/20. It takes between a week to two weeks to get your truck to MD. I hope my truck will show up at MD in the next couple of days.

Thought I was getting LED Headlights as well since the Tail Lights are LED. I wasn't given an option to check nor did the dealer identify this option. It's an actual nightmare to navigate the ordering system. In order to obtain one item you want to must pay for several others you don't. Some items identified in Package Options are also included in Standard Equipment. I ordered the $4K Level (2/B/C) whatever RAM was calling it during the time I purchased. The Packaging Numbers/Letters changed during my build.

I have a call into marks.

I’ll see if they can take care of it or do a reorder for me.

Bummer but I’m not gonna deal with the retrofit stuff. Never seemed to workout for me in the past and headlights for me are almost as important as the color I choose for my truck haha.

Might end up waiting another 6mo….oh well. Let’s me optimist and see what they come up with. Marks has been awesome. I expect that will continue.
 
Some days I wish I never found the forum with so much info and see builds popping up weeks after your own and no movement yet. I’m going on 3 months soon and I can’t even think what 6 to 7 months be like. I can’t wait to get some kind of movement just to feel like my $50,000 down payment was for something. Very happy for the lucky ones seeing builds pop up by the day can’t wait to see more pics of your trucks

Wait time still seems to be pretty random but i got my Sept order in just over 10 weeks.
I believe someone was claiming 7 weeks - production did not start til early August so i would take 6 months as an extreme but still no excuse for the May-July orders not to be completed 3.5 mo into production in my mind.

I sometimes agree regarding the wait for my Truck to be built. Too much conflicting information on who provides the best info, (Dealer, FCA, RAM Chat, different locations to find Build Sheets, Window Stickers, etc). I know my dealer gets tired of me asking questions and I don't want to "T" off RAM Chat or FCA by asking too many questions for fear my truck will be placed on the back burner however, there are lots of good information regarding RAM Trucks on this site. I watch trucks being built all around mine (purchases before and purchases after I purchased) but no one knows why mine isn't moving.

I was built on 11/23, Window sticker on 11/25 and shipped 11/27 (I think).

@brv10 PM'd me and said its a 5 day transit by rail. So I'd expect it to arrive at Port Allen in a few more days. I asked ramchat last week and they had no ETA. Gave it a shot this morning and got the response above.

Yes I love all the info I’m sure sometimes we have more info here then a dealer can provide. And yes some times all I want is the info why I’m being skipped or what part missing I mean common someone has to know something just provide us info.. instead of good news your in scheduling phase parts are being gathered for months on end
