Okay, she’s home…again. Apparently there was a 1/2” bead of sealant missing between the windshield and body seam. They had to pull the windshield off and re-bed, but luckily the windshield didn’t break. I’m took tomorrow and Monday off, so let the accessory games begin!

For those members who have taken delivery of their new trucks....... has anyone wiped the grin off their face and stopped driving long enough to learn how to set up the door locks.... LOL I'm trying to actuate the system to set what doors lock/unlock when you press the key fob. Also when the doors lock automatically. I believe this function can be set to a certain speed.

With many of the newer vehicles I understand you can set the drivers door to unlock as you approach the vehicle without having to dig the keys from your pocket or purse. Is this function possible on the 2022 RAM 2500 Big Horn?

Are these functions associated with the UConnect5 System or the Drivers Display on the center of the dash?

Pretty sure it’s all in the radios menu.

Sounds about right, i ordered 6/6 and i think if iam correct about 2 weeks ago i went D1 according to the dealer. so thats about 75 days in “confirmed” I had a “ship date” of aug 27th however these kind fellows made me aware that is generally the build date. So well see! I am really hoping to get a “built” from BV when i inquire again, Hopefully i can wait till next week before i bother them again lol.

Completely an assumption but i am anticipating a late sept delivery ( best case ) or more realistically mid october which would have me around 4.5 months which i think in this day and age is an excellent turn around. She did mention being iam having my “extras” put on at the dealer and that its a cab and chassis makes things a bit quicker. My dealer mentioned that their HD factory order turn around times have dramatically picked up since july…. She mentioned should almost be back to a 3-3.5 month turn around for later 2023s which is encouraging

Interesting. Thanks for the info. My dealer really ain't said much. But then again I ain't bothered then either. Just been checking the forums and tracker. 4.5 months would put me getting hopefully by November... we'll see i reckon
 
Just checking in, been hanging on other threads more now. It is worth the wait! This truck has more 'Easter eggs' than the Energizer bunny! I keep discovering the neatest details, latest the trailer light check function. And that backup camera line and view angle let me line up that ball first try.

By the way, just throwing it out there, we Silver Billet and Del Red 3500 NE dually owners OBVIOUSLY picked the best looking RAM ever... there's a model to prove. Just sayin':)

My dealer called me this a.m. to let me know he finally heard back from the dealer rep. My 3500 Limited SRW has been on order since February is now on hold prior to rail because there's 13000 units being inspected for hail damage. He did tell my dealer that it will arrive in September post inspection.

I did find a build sheet last night. I understand that to mean it has been built. Although, it is still showing in production. My estimated delivery date changed from October 16 to the 19th.

The build sheet shows when the truck goes into production.

Your window sticker should show up after your truck is completed the build process, "KZ".

If it is still "JB" (at outside vendors), then only the build sheet is available.

Okay, thanks. I either got some bad info or I misread. Either way, I guess it’s still at the outside vendor.

My 3500 Limited SRW also ordered in February must have the same issue. My dealer told me there was some sort of "stop order" on shipments that my truck was caught in. He didn't have any other details for me.

It will be interesting to see if in fact there's damage what the disclaimer will show. Typically when a vehicle is damaged at the factory they replace the damaged body parts with new parts. If in transit its typically repaired by the dealer unless they refuse delivery. I just prefer the full disclosure post repair and then inspect it myself before making a decision. It's so late in the model year I would almost refuse delivery if the damage was moderare on the cab roof and order a 2023 when the bank opens back up. Unless of course Stelantis passes through a discount and I was confident the repairs would be like new. In most cases those repairs wouldn't show on a vehicle history report since it's still under MSO. I'll update as more info is found.

Equipment listing doesn't pop until truck is built.

That makes sense, but I'm not sure it's always true. I can't see a window sticker for my truck yet but my dealer sent me a screenshot showing my VIN/VON and its corresponding status as KZ. I was surprised that it only took a day or two for it to go from "in production" to KZ since I ordered a couple of items that required it to see an outside vendor (side steps and 5th wheel prep). There's also a comment saying "In transit - delayed" -- not sure if that's normal if its just waiting for a train ticket or if that's indeed because of the hail damage inspection holdup.

Well that was fast! Everything went so quickly after my truck got built that I don't think I can draw any conclusions about KZ vs JB vs window sticker availability vs build sheet from my experience.

Big hailstorm affected a bunch of trucks, off to the dent doctor.

There is a code if your truck is involved in a damage holdup.
 
So I received several emails after the truck arrived, XM which I went ahead and added the dually to the family plan.
The next is the hotspot, do you need that for the Ram Connect to work ? I do like that feature but not sure what it takes for it to work
