Thank you Cyberdman. May you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy & Healthy New Year!

It's my understanding it's a real PITA. did your brother encounter any problems?

Good Afternoon Cyberdman, looking for an update or changes for the wife's Escape build, 1FMCU9J99EUC04049 Thank you

Ordered a Titainium, has the hands free lift gate, not sure about the hitch.

Thanks, it's telling me my vin is not in the system. I will try late next week. Thanks to all for the help, it's appreciated.

Unable to access my window sticker. I tried several links, what could be wrong? It's scheduled with a date late in the month. I was able to get my f-250's sticker the minute I had the vin. Not so,with our new Escape I guess.

Cyberdman, Respectfully Request tracking on the Mrs new Escape. Vin# 1FMCU9J99EUC04049 Happy Thanksgiving!

Anyone update their GPS Database? If so, did you have the dealer do it or did you order the disc and install the update yourself? Thanks for any input, it's appreciated.

The All Terrains were the favorite tires on my previous trucks. They were mileage kings for me. I can't wait to dump the Conti's on my 2011 short bed, gas, crew. Anyone have a pick with their 250 on the All Terrains, please post. Also, how is the noise and handling on the 250?

Sorry for the late post, I'm seeing around 11 mpg average around town. I've got a lead foot so on the HWY I try and use cruise as much as possible. When I do I see as much as 15+ mpg @ 65- 70. I'm loving this truck.

Yes & No. Harley packages were available in 2011, but have just been discontinued. First to go was the Cabela's package. When I ordered my SD, 9/13/10, the Harley edition was still available on the website . The link you provided shows it gone, as does the latest production guide. I would guess that like rolling changes on the production line during the model year, the HD pkge was phased out to conincide with the Job 2 build. I'm only guessing here. Maybe one of the tose in the know can give us the skinny on this.

There are 2011 Harley package SD's. I noticed that the latest Production Guide showed it was not available.

In NYC, FWD cars just don't have the longevity of a RWD platform. I believe its due to constant abuse by mulitple drivers, the RWD's just hold up better. We have no AWD's that I am aware of, on patrol that is. U/C cars we have some, but they are CAT 1 cars (take home) for the most part and have one driver and no patrol abuse. The best FWD car we have had, IMO are the current Impala's. We first started using FWD in 1981. I was in Midtown South Pct (MTS) and we got 2 K-Cars, brandie new. My partner and I got one and the adjoining sector got the other. The other sector was out of service before the end of the tour. The following day, we were all back in our Plymouth's with 80 k on the odometers as both K's were out of service. They left for central repair, never to be seen again.

Thanks all, truck delivered, monotone seats confirmed, picking up today or Wed.

It arrived at the dealer today. Thanks Cyberdman, pics sooon......

I think we have real time account, have to check with tech svcs. Anyone one know which auto carrier serves NJ?

Thanks for the heads up. Do you have coordinates for the sat search? or an address?

Mine was built 9/29 and is still sitting in the rail yard in PA. An hour and a half from the dealer. Prolly won't see it til next week.

Thanks, I have my fingers crossed that I have monotone seats...

Sorry for the Hi-Jack... I've noticed that some Job # 2 changes (like monotone seats) are already implemented, is this a regular process? Looking over the production order guide i see several items I would have liked to have. I'm waiting on my truck, built 9/29 and in transit to my dealer. Just wondering if the changes start earlier than Job 2? I think you mentioned in another post, that monotone seats have been rolling doen the line for some time. Just curious about the process.

Check page #2 here: http://www.blueovalforums.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_id=10566 It appears it might have been dropped, along with the Cabela's package.

My SD arrived at Twin Oaks last night. Next stop the dealer. So, NEVERMIND

My SD is on its way to the dealer as I type this. Left KTP last Fri and is currently making its way thru Pa. Does anyone know where the rail shipment will terminate and continue to the dealer by car hauler? I'm inclined to think Jersey, but could be the new facility in Philly. Anyone know?

Thanks rottekatz, good to know. My truck is in transit, built last Wed.

Do the changes in the order guide start with the Job 2 build? I know the monotone seats are coming down the line already. What about the tilt telescopic sterring wheel?
