As explained to me by my dealer months ago, when you are D1, your "scheduled" ship date is your ship date to the next step in the process, which in your case would be your build. Since that date has come and gone, it only means you have been slipped to a new "ship"/build date. Mine slipped 3 times (5/1, 5/13, 5/15) before it was finally built 5/18.

Texted our salesman today because the truck was delivered to the Port of Baton Rouge 3 weeks 1 day ago. The port is literally 20-30 minutes from the dealership. Going on vacation tomorrow through Sunday, so told them any time after that would be good for us. I just want to make sure it won't sit there for another 3 weeks. We need to break it in before a trip at the end of August where we will be towing our camper all the way to Kentucky (Mammoth Cave area).

Y'all are not gonna believe this! Our salesman called me this morning after checking to see why it has been nearly a month since the truck got to the Port of Baton Rouge in Port Allen and has not been delivered to the dealer yet. Well, seems that the keys to 200 new vehicles at the port were stolen!!! So, the manufacturers of those vehicles have to send new keys and the locks have to be reprogrammed. However, the good news is that the truck will be at the dealer this week and ready for pickup with the new keys and reprogrammed locks (done by dealer). No wonder it was taking so long. Took our salesman calling the port because the port certainly didn't let any of the dealers know what was going on.

I’ve been driving my 2500 mega cab 4x4 for a couple of weeks now. I’m wondering what do you guys run on tire pressure when not towing?

For what it's worth....
I do a lot of work for "Michelin".
Their engineers have told me to use their tire pressure recommendations they have on the sidewall for best wear, mileage, and loading.
The vehicle manufacturers recommendation in the door jamb is for most comfort and handling, according to the truck's suspension.

At least that is what the "Michelin" engineers are telling me, and I have never had issues with tire failure using their recommended pressures.

Hope this helps
 
Sorry,

Forgot to me

Sorry, forgot to mention... Test/fill your tire when cold, before you start driving.
Not after driving.

And that's how the old Explorer tire debacle started.
