JC2014 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I am also new to the waiting game on 10/15 I got my order conformation back for my F-350 Dully XLT I got it with the 7.3 with the 4.30 rear end. Going to use it to pull my fifth wheel. 16,000 lbs everything I have read or seen on youtube says I should have no problem. Any thoughts. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I makes you pretty sad, suspicious and a bit worried I ordered 8-31, confirmed same day. Nothing but crickets since. No AS or bedliner. That makes me worried. I feel bad for the guys that ordered early and still have nothing. Edited October 23, 2021 by mbushardjr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It moved to a week later for scheduling. Now scheduled for 10/25 - F450 Platinum - bed liner, sunroof, and AS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavyd Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 My truck will be dropped off by rail about an hour away from my dealer on 10/26. Estimated dealer delivery is between 11/3 and 11/9. The anticipation is killing me. I hope the bed liner, tonneau cover, and winch were already installed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just like everyone else we are still facing supply chain issues. Some of the internal components are made by other manufacturers/suppliers and they have their own challenges to overcome, And so on…. Whether steel, plastics, precursors for other processes, labor shortage or whatever, everyone is doing the best they can in a difficult time. This won’t be over soon and about all any of us can do is grit our teeth and keep on making the best of what we do have. Now, it’s time to get back to speculating on our delivery dates. ? Good luck, I ordered a 450 Lariat on 9/20 and am waiting for a sent to plant date. I check the weekly Ford scheduling notes repeatedly daily M-Th for any updates from @ice-capades about SD scheduling/commodity shortages. My hope is that it is delivered before our new RV (currently projected for Feb-Mar delivery). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdbinns Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 The F550 Lariat we ordered back in April has finally arrived at the dealer. Unfortunately they made a mistake in the order and it has the standard non-limited slip axle rather than the limited slip we ordered. The dealer claims they can order parts and convert it to limited slip but that the parts are backordered. We will be installing a flatbed and use the truck primarily for carrying a truck camper and we do sometime travel on snow, ice, gravel or mud. Does anyone have experience with converting to limited slip after the fact? We have waited so long for the truck to come in but are wondering if we would be better off starting over again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twintornados Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) If they are ordering the parts from Ford, there is the possibility of the parts being on back order, however since it likely has the Dana S 110 rear axle, they could order the parts direct from DanaSpicer....upgrading to a limited slip rear diff is easy and should be done in a day or less. https://spicerparts.com/parts/axle/commercial/commercial-vehicle-differentials-for-medium-duty-axles Edited October 25, 2021 by twintornados 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dealer still says that they can’t change my order too. My dealer told me the same thing. I had a vin for a Platinum with AS ordered in March. Asked in July to cancel the AS. They said that was impossible since I had a vin. Well come to find out it isn't impossible. They dropped AS off mine and got me built on the 8th. In transit now. Keep at them. Everything can be changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FathomBlueSS Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Ordered on 10/4 Platinum with AS. Dealer says it’s unscheduled clean. If it weren’t for this forum I would be losing my mind but my order date is young! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruckBuilderBob Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Very possible but not much more than a word JC2014. Remember The factory takes a few weeks for the holiday ? and maybe more. you should get an idea how things will go for you by Thanksgiving though. cheers ?

Its done by regional managers, and ive never heard of someone successfully requesting it. It really depends on your dealership and regional managers policy, mine was bumped to a 01 without me asking because it had been sitting in the order bank for 5 months with no action. I spoke to my salesman regularly and was a bit of a squeaky wheel(but never asked for a priority bump), not sure if that made any difference in that outcome. My truck was scheduled 2.5 weeks later.
