Next week is a down week. Oct 30 week is canceled.

The Sport Trac sold like shit due to the price IMHO

I was thinking of a different picture that was going around actually. I was just too quick to double check exactly what you typed. For sure a Homer Simpson moment though! DOH! LMFAO I'm tired brother. I am not sure where build out is myself.

Those were NOT NA Spec. They were ROW Rangers. I know of the pic your referencing. I forgot to save it. Do you know where the build out building is? They have one in there. And from what It sounds like, Its a ROW Ranger there also. A ROW Ranger with a Everest front clip. But that doesn't mean that is "exactly" what MAP will build.

That for sure isn't a diesel. it sure looks like a 2.3L Eco.

Does anyone find it odd that the other plants that it is posted at isn't shown on the posting?

5x8 working UP TO 10 hours for next week only.

Exactly. The AC under the hood would not allow for for a tall deck during assy.. The 4.6 DOHC barely fit. http://st.hotrod.com/uploads/sites/21/2001/11/p111911_large-2003_mercury_marauder_sedan-engine.jpg

Are you referring to that pic of the Ranger on a skid that was in paint?

yes

No confirmation yet. Still a rumor. Started by someone that plays alot.

The media has been tanking with the difference between MY and CY.

thats a ways away from now. 2020/21. unless bumped forward. Ive not seen anything stating otherwise yet,

Where will these early 2019 Cmax be coming from?

miracles do happen. But I am more than certain that MAP's changeover will be far more involved than DTP's was, Based on everything I've been hearing. Be it from hourly sources or salaried personnel who would have a better intel than most hourly.

The last day of work before shutdown. Afternoons was canceled. There was in fact a car hauler at MAP with multiple ROW Rangers on it with no camo with current (Everest) front grill on them. It was posted on the facebook page FWIW Fuzzy.

That rumor started with November. Now it is January. But I am hearing that we will be full 2 shifts until May '18. And they are working on keeping it beyond that... This was today BTW. Lets face it, FRAP and MAP cutting shifts would put ALOT of people on the street.. In and out of the plants..

No wonder why I dont see ya any more. best of luck on your next chapter.

One shift would be until the Bronco gets going.From what I have heard it wouldn't be a direct cut in half. Good luck being out for (over?) a year on a TLO. But this is a year away. So who knows what will happen from now until then...

Rumor is after May '18 there will be one shift.

I won't be.

From what I heard about this engine. It will blow your minds if true and I've got ZERO reason to doubt it at this time.

I've heard a few things. I heard the over time that is scheduled for July thru August might happen and might not. It all depends on parts and where we are with numbers. The fleet order is around 20K Cmax for China. The interesting part of this is that they are talking about running straight Cmax with skips (production for this time supposedly will only be around 750 or so per day) hence the over time. Ok all is fine with what I was told so far and explains why there are no more TLO's til December (lets call it a decent source but shit changes all of the time. So don't preach this as gospel) until I heard this next bit. Rumor has it we may end running Cmax only after December. I didn't understand this part very well and should inquire about it more. Something to do with a supplier stating they will not be sending anymore focus wires at the end of the year. BUT, To keep this pot stirring. Anyone hear of any inverted TLO being canvassed in the future? It was going around and fizzled out pretty quick. It might have been a slow rumor day and was pulled out of thin air... You all have a great day/weekend.

His lunch box is chocked full of mashed taters! LOL

If those mules aren't wearing a Everest face I just need to flush my eyes with battery acid.
