I feel ya Rich...Im still in JS starting week 4. Sucks!They built mine In no time flat, i was super impressed, then they left it In storage for 6 wks for quality checks. Im all in for quality controle, might be why I've not really had any issues, knock on wood, but 6 wks just sitting there was the worst part for me, as my colleges can attest to my moodiness.
Especially since they held it up because after 12 x they had called me that they couldn't understand to release the truck from storage and get me my voucher, and here I am 6 months later and that fight rages on. Also, honestly in my experience, it was way easier to just chat in with ram care every couple days to find were it was in the process than to bother the dealer trying to get them to pull up the Rubicon pg. The wait and worry is definitly the worst part, hoping it comes out the way you ordered it and then there's the whole hoping it arrives un damaged, because there is no way in he// that an unstable individuall like myself can go through that twice, I'd walk first.
all in all i really enjoyed the whole process but there were times i felt like i was going insane, but it was all worth it I the end. Now I'm having ptsd flashbacks, i need to go have some apple pie. 
I'm in the exact same boat as you right now. Ordered same date, same engine, same model, different Trim. I'm still in D1 Status as of Saturday and the dealer still says a ship date of 9/25/2020 from Mexico withdDelivery the week of October 18th.
Deep breath guys, we've all been there and it sucks, it sucks bad, being at the mercy of these times is beyond nerve wracking to sway the least. You will definitly not get updates in the detail that we all would like that's for sure. Don't set yourself on that specific date, its an estimate that most of the time isn't met. It would be truly awesome if we could live stream the whole process, In this day in age you would think that's possible. Just know, we've been there and were here for you to vent. Trust me when I say, I've had my share of nervous & mental breakdowns. JUST keep believing it will arrive within 2-3 wks of estimated delivery date and most importantly in undamaged condition, so you don't have to go through this again, i could never of done it twice like some have. Think about all those goodies your gonna get and all the enjoyment of your creation. It's all worth it.
Your accurate on ram customer chat. They pretty much no longer will give you a code per say but give the status. The dealer can give you a code but not really much further info than ram chat, plus your dealer ain't gonna deal with you calling or emailing everyday for an update like ram chat will
. I found the only benefit to going through dealer was after it had been released and ram care said they can no longer track it, they can but they don't want you jumping the train and stealing it, is the dealer can track it once it's left the factory per the rubicon tracking pg. It's not as informative as one would like but it does give some info . I agree, i wish we had a tracking number where we could follow it step by step
Thanks! I'll try thatThis thread is intended to be a reference sticky for the build status codes with links to the build sheet and window sticker in one easy to find and uncluttered place.
