damagedone37 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Probably true. heard were down 3 weeks at DTP for shutdown for retool in body and paint for '15 launch and were launching early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 It's going to take a lot longer than 3 weeks to retool the body shop. And since the stamping plant hasn't got the dies yet, there is no way we at retooling early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they won't have to be worked on the following year when we will be down from shutdown till Labor Day.(supposedly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DearbornDerek Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Heard 3 weeks in July and 3 weeks in December. All of it should be done after Christmas if they do like the 09 launch, Tooling Trial will start in January/February. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be miraculous considering every robot is being swapped out, and welders are being replaced by riviters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AH-HA Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 P415 balance out on 12/8/14 with P552 Job 1 on 11/17/14. Is this even possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lquidspine Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) P415 balance out on 12/8/14 with P552 Job 1 on 11/17/14. Is this even possible? DTP retools over this Christmas and next shutdown while KCAP still runs 2014's, once DTP up and running full speed around Oct/ Nov. expect some down time at KCAP for their retool. Still fill orders for the 2014 while launching the 2015, what I'm hearing anyway. So 3 crews starting in July corresponds with DTP's down time/launch period, shockingly I thought KC was already running 3 crews. Dearborn Derek no way DTP will be ready to run P552 after Christmas, that come after summer shutdown and expected downtime surrounding shutdown.

ande929 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 We've been on 3 Crews since this summer at KCAP. We are coming back to work after Christmas break the week of Jan.13 due to retooling. And yes they are having trouble running the Transit through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
