I'm guessing I am the last holdout on this week of 5/2 build thread. My truck arrived at the dealer this morning...finally! 1 year + 1 day after order confirmation. Unbelievable. Hopefully by this time next week, I've got it in my grubby mitts!
You are definitely on the home stretch! I'm still in Shelbyville, not on a railcar yet, waiting for the impending railroad worker's strike to happen...
What I'm about to type is going to sound like BS. In fact, I don't even have my truck yet to see if this is also true of the 7.3. But, we did get my wife a Ranger last year and it seems very picky about how the oil is checked with the dipstick. All my life, I have never had any problem checking...
Here's hoping that things get moving for you quickly!
I've just started my shipping journey. I am glad to get out of the factory before the 2 week shutdown. Only rail delays, trucking delays, and dealership delays remaining...home stretch.

I do have rain-sensing wipers. I can't know for sure, but since I ordered a Platinum, my hold could very well be related to the massaging seats. Mine was built before the cut-off, so I will still get the massaging seats, but that doesn't mean that it isn't going to be a great, big delay on top...
So, I asked for a VVR from my dealer today, since I have been "In Production" for almost a month. My truck has been built, but moved off-site and is on a chip hold with ETA to the dealer the first week of August. :rolleyes:
MALANEY,
I registered just to post here that I am in the same boat as you. 5/2 build week, but still no "BUILT" email. I asked my dealer to check my VVR this morning and was going to report to you that it appears the truck was produced on 5/3, but waited 9 days to go to GFX for the bedliner...
