Just heard from my dealer that my 2020 RAM2500 Limited is built but stuck at the factory pending the fix for this recall:

Recall Manufacturer Safety recall issued 2019-2020 D TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY

NHTSA #20V-043 #W03 W03 - 2019-2020 D TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY Status: Remedy not yet available Safety Defect/Non Compliance Description and Safety Risk In certain circumstances, a build up of pressure and heat inside the transmission may result in transmission fluid being...

No estimate on how long this might take. Crap.

Picked mine up yesterday with only 4 miles on it!

I just found out (from a confidential source) that XG9 (Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring) option is planned for ordering on new trucks to begin in February and the cost will be $365. Not yet sure if this includes wheel sensors or not.

We are in February... Anyone can confirm if this was indeed true? Is XG9 finally orderable?

I'm going to see my rep tomorrow. I want to be as up-to-date as possible on that matter.

Did the RAM chat today and found out my truck has has been shipped. ETA window for delivery to the dealer is 2/7 to 2/21. Ok starting to get a bit excited!!!

Not up on build site yet. Probably won't be until later in the month - but I'm checking every AM just to be sure.

Also, I think it will be on the dealers order system before the build site. Even now, XFQ (Trailer Camera Wiring) is available on dealers ordering system and even on the window sticker of many trucks on lots across country - but it's not listed anywhere to pick on the build site.

My dealer wants to submit my order, so he said that they would check every couple days but who knows...

I did Ram chat today as I have done the past two weeks, both times I was able to attain my status code. Last Sunday I was informed it was in JS status (assemble complete, shipped to storage). Best info I could find was that it was done for additional quality control (hopefully), or if something happened that needs repaired, or if a production issue was discovered and they want to check trucks that were possibly affected.

So today what I hear sounds like it is still in JS status but was told they cannot bring up status codes which I find interesting. My 2020 Laramie 2500 was ordered with the Hemi so it should not have anything to do with the diesel transmission issue. Anyway, please find below the first reply then the reply I received after I requested the status code. Original eta for shipping was 2/3/20.

Congratulations on your new vehicle!
I am showing that at this time, your order is in the stage prior to being released by the plant. Your vehicle may have been selected for additional quality inspections or held for delivery purposes. At FCA, you can be assured that we take vehicle quality seriously. If being shipped via railcar, vehicles maybe held until there are enough units to fill the shipping requirements.

I think we are at about the same stage. I was told the same thing about a week ago...I'm hoping that it is just being held for shipping (until they have enough for the rail car). Mine will be headed to Idaho for me to pick up at Dennis Dillon

Ordered a 3500 HO Longhorn Dually 1/9. Got the build sheet yesterday. Dealer called today to say it's shipped. Got the window sticker tonight. 2-3 weeks delivery. Can't wait!

I hope the tranny recall doesn't cause any delays .......My salesman at Dennis Dillon said they can't delivery a truck without the recall fixed

I think mine heads to New Orleans before heading north to Detroit... 160 miles southeast for my home before it’s final trip to Cheboygan 160 miles northeast of my home. If Ram hadn’t started to sell so many trucks it could have been built in Detroit where the half tons are!

I contacted Ram on their web site: https://fcacommunity.force.com/RAM/s/article/How-do-I-contact-Ram .
I used the Chat icon. You will nead your VIN or VON number for them to help you out. I think they looked it up in the Dealer Connect Software which your dealer should have at the dealership.

A week later truck is still in JS (assemble completed, shipped to storage). 2500 Laramie 4x4 w/air suspension
Ordered on 1/9, had D status w/Vin the next day, had an estimated ship date of 2/3 which was on track until it got shipped to storage. Anxiously wondering the cause of this delay...

Could be the recall going on.

Left out the most important part, I ordered with the Hemi so I shouldn’t have the recall issue

I ordered a 2020 Ram Laramie 2500 Hemi 4x4 on 01/16/2020 and the Build Sheet is online this morning, 02/10/2020. I have no idea how long it takes to inspect and ship but I assume it's built. At least I hope so.

Edit: 02/10/2020: RAM chat says it is built and "pending quality inspections" but they cannot access the "codes".

Edit: 02/13/2020/10:00 AM: Dealer just texted that "it is on the train".....Estimated delivery date 02/24/2020. Still no window Sticker online.

Edit 02/13/2020/3.30 PM: Window Sticker just showed up online.

Good News... I just ordered my 2020 RAM 3500 Limited Crew Cab LB DRW at the dealer this AM because the Trailer Tire Pressure Monitor System (XG9) was actually on the dealer's build site for ordering!!!
Neither the XFQ (Aux Camera Wiring) or XG9 (above) options are on the web builder - but they are available to order at the dealer! Finally...

Thanks to 1FastHemi for discovering this yesterday and posting his build sheet.
