CBears Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I know the blockade is causing some problems with some of the models and factories. What is everyone's opinion? Is it going to affect the SD production negatively? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUEC135ELEVATOR Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 It will probably slow production down in many different markets yeah, but not too bad. I'm happy to see people standing up against this covid mandate crap. Canadians are a lot more strict on their mandates than we are here in the southern US. I'm just so ready for this covid crap to go away! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyall Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 The 7.3L gasser is manufactured in Windsor, Ontario so there is certainly the possibility for some disruptions there the longer this goes on. May already be affected, IDK. Freedom is not without its costs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyall Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 While no specific mention of the 7.3L in the article, I just read this: "... This blockade is also causing problems for Ford engine production, as its Windsor-based facilities are idle today, though Unifor Local 200 President John D’Agnolo told Automotive News that the plants will be back up on Thursday. ..." here: https://fordauthority.com/2022/02/ford-engine-production-impacted-by-ambassador-bridge-blockade/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watson138 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 I'm happy they are standing up. Just an unfortunate side effect that it might cause people to have to wait even longer to get their new vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayweezie Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Anyone know if the 5th Wheel / gooseneck prep comes from Canada? Just doesn’t seem right to remove from build, when the trucks are designed to pull heavy trailers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NedFletcher Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Well if this is why my 7.3 is taking longer to get scheduled then so be it. Honk honk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon966 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I read on the super duty ordering group on FB from what looked to be a Ford employee that the trucker blockade is directly causing shift's at the plant to lay off because they cant get materials. I get the strike though, I'm willing to keep waiting if need be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honk honk Yup, this right here. Some things are more important than a new truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
