<br>mrKTM<br><br>Here are the codes: http://www.dodgeram.org/buying_info/Order_status.htm<br><br>There has to be someone who can help get your order straightened out?? After waiting 11 weeks you are entitled to an explananation of exactly what has gone wrong and then someone at Dodge needs to pull some strings to put your truck at the front of the line. Good luck to you.

Re:Supposed to be Built by 03/04/03

Thanks for the code link jeff. <br><br>I tried to get in touch with someone - The only ones I've been able to get are the dealer, the customer service line, and the customer service e-mail. See my post on dealer run around for a real joke of a response from the e-mail contact. All I get is, &quot;everything seems fine&quot; and &quot;going as planned&quot; I'd like to get there 'plan' in line with mine !<br><br>Pretty much at a loss of what to do but call every day and wait for it to show up...hopefully they will get tired of me calling and build the truck.

Re:Supposed to be Built by 03/04/03

I did read the other thread and the messages from the D/C rep look like canned responses. <br><br>There are a multitude of variables that determine when a vehicle is built. Examples of these are options, color, and geographic region. Because our records show the order and do not have any errors or alerts posted to this individual vehicle, it would be safe to assume that everything is going as planned. I don't see a need to make any changes to the order.<br><br>The fact that he &quot;assumes&quot; nothing is wrong is not good. Obviously something IS wrong. 11 weeks and no build date isn't the norm. Everyone else is getting their '03 trucks in 3-8 weeks, even dealer stock orders as Luke S has stated. If it wasn't for boards like this you wouldn't really know for sure how abnormal this situation is.<br><br>I'd try raising the volume a bit to try and get their attention now. Call your dealer, tell him you're thinking of cancelling and buying a Ford. Ask for the number of a Dodge regional rep, INSIST on it. Write the DC rep back and tell him the same thing. So what if your bluffing a bit, they don't know that for sure. Squeaky wheel gets the grease right? Being patient isn't getting you anywhere.

Re:Supposed to be Built by 03/04/03

New Ram 3500 SRW 4X4 Laramie, 5.9 HO ,48RE,4.10,

Just checked with Union Pacific and my truck should be here in Kent , Wa on the 10th of March at 01630(ordered it on 10 Feb 03). I checked the official build date and it just happened to be on my birthday (26 Feb) hope that is a good ohm-an. I have been real impressed with DC. Ordered the Truck on the 10th Feb. Four weeks from order to delivery is not to bad. I just checked on my truck and it is in Boise,ID should make Kent,Wa on time just like DC customer service said it would. I can not say how happy I have been with Dodge Customer service and the great service they provided when I called (everyotherday) to check on my truck. Hope to be driving it this week. Takes 2 to 3 days to get it off the train and to the dealer, hard to believe huh. Any way first truck I have ever order from the factory and I have been very impressed with Dodge so far both the truck and their support.
Now I have to get rid of my 97 Ram 2500 4X4 5.9 D.

Re:Supposed to be Built by 03/04/03

I called again this morning. My truck will ship out of Mexico Friday 3/14. That's exactly two weeks from the day the order went into the computer. Based on some of the experiences that others have had, I feel very lucky indeed. ;D

Re:Supposed to be Built by 03/04/03

MisterTKM,<br> I feel for you indeed! Every OEM screws up on occasion, and it sounds like this was one of them. I know how the wait is (see my sig). I was beginning to think it was happening to me, but I did finally get mine, and it WAS worth the wait. I knew I would be happy with the truck, but it was still very frustrating to have to wait. God bless, and good luck; sounds like it is finally on the way!
