None at all! Now I have nothing to pass the time for my seemingly lost truck to show up :(

I am with you, amigo. Mine is probably cruising the south somewhere on a train. January is a long time to wait, you and others deserve your truck first.
 
Finally received the email. Looks like a few other have too or will be soon.

The trailer surround view system you ad as an accessory. I think it was around 995. They put in the rear bumper connector and in the box you get is the main junction box, four cables and four cameras. You mount them on your trailer as you see fit.
I think its a great idea to mount two of them so I get a good view of where the rear of that trailer is going so I don't back into something and then one in front and another in the rear to look at truck/cargo tie downs on the trailer itself. The truck surround, digital rear view mirror and cargo box cameras are already installed and working.

I didn’t see this as an option when I ordered my truck last month. I just checked again and I can’t find it.
 
Well great news Seven months to the day, Ordered Dec 20,2021 Mark Dodge. 3500 Limited is home in South Texas. Want to thank all of you that have added to the experience and especially to the old vets that got this forum going. Thank you OfficerDirtySanchez for your commitment to help others with your updates. Line 909 is now complete.
For the great folks at Mark Dodge. I wish I would have met the names I read about and I wanted to shake the hand of the owner for holding true to their sales commitment while other dealers took the
greed road of a quick buck. There are many reasons Mark Dodge is on top. My experience was no different from all the others that have purchased from them. They are a class act.
Special thanks to Renae for taking and verifying my order back in December and keeping me updated. Shout out to Reggie in Finance for making it easy. And today Saturday special thanks
to Robert for taking time to walk me through all the new features on my 2022 and making sure all my questions were answered. I showed up at 8:00 am and was driving south by 8:45.
500 miles later I am typing this to those that are also waiting. I hope each of you get your vehicle soon.

Well, I’ll say it is hard to find the replacement parts for the truck side. I moved my camper to base and 3weeks later noticed the connector in the bumper was missing the center pole. Luckily I had a really cool service guy at the dealer who told me to bring it around back and he’d fix it in 10 min….I’m thinking he swapped it off a new truck, but then again it falls under someone’s new warranty.

Lesson learned: be gentle when plugging in the trailer rearview camera, and don’t let the trailer jerk it out.

Picked her up today, it is shockingly more of an upgrade from my 2019 than I expected. So quiet and a better ride. Loving the upgrade so far. Took a while to get it all done, so I haven't had a chance to tinker with anything, but hang in there everyone who is waiting.

Nice looking work. My trailer is a flat top I haul hunting trucks on so I'm always concerned about backing into things I shouldn't and the forward and rear tie down chains from the rigs to the trailer popping loose.
 
Boooo yaaa I am KZ and have my window sticker!

Is there anything I should be looking for on the build to see if it was skipped?

I have a question for the group. Does the railcar number ever change throughout the trucks journey?

Unless I am wrong, No…In my experience (which is only 7 days on one and what I have read for the last 8 months). In order for the car number to change, it would have to unloaded off of that car and loaded on another. When it passes through Eagle Pass, the engines from Mexico disconnect and the US RR’s pick it up, which in my case is Union Pacific headed to Port Allen

I’d agree with this assessment. Once the car is under contract, that car should receive a single number for the contractor to track. Changing numbers in the system just produces a situation for lost cargo and the rail industry has been around too long to have figured this out.

Did anybody opt to get the ceramic coating offer from Mark Dodge? Good deal and happy with the results?
 
Has anybody had their dealer arrange transport? My truck shipped June 30th and has been 2 hours away since July 6th. The first estimated delivery date was August 1st, then July 20th, and then August 4th. Checked today and it changed to August 16th. I’m tired of waiting. If I pay for transport, will the dealer send someone out to get it for me?
