I think the time line depends alot on what exactly is ordered. I ordered my 2500 crew cab LT gas in mid April(during the shutdown).  It arrived at the dealer mid July. I was surprised by how quick all things considered 

I ordered the same truck. Hopefully I'll see it in early September. Plus for '21 MY they deleted Shadow Grey color I ordered.

Looks like you upgraded from a 1500 too?

Good color choice. Yes I upgraded from a 1500, looking forward to the towing abilities compared to the old truck.

Well for anyone interested, got an e-mail the other day from the dealer. My order got kicked back due to, too many orders and not enough 2020 parts. So no order for me.

I guess they'll be switching over to '21MY soon.  Mine is supposedly being built this week.

I've got a 2020 2500 Custom (dealer stock) coming w/ my name on it and I got a text from my salesman saying it was built yesterday.  I hoping to see it sometime in mid September.  I'm guessing it would be one of the last 2020's built?

is there anyway to track a vehicle by using the VIN? i would like to see if there is any movement on it

the truck I have a deposit on it sitting in Salt Lake City at the train yard. It is waiting for a truck to bring it to the dealer 8 hours away. 

it was supposed to be delivered yesterday

Nope, I was told they stopped doing the tracking. Both while on the line and while in transit. Which in the world we live in today that dont make any sense.

i stopped at the dealer yesterday. they checked. it is still in salt lake, and awaiting truck transport. 

they said they were going to tag it "hot" which may or may not mean anything.

my truck is officially sold to my brother in law, so I need the new one to arrive

Great to hear you found one since your order didn't go through. 
My salesman says mine is now on a rail car heading to an area distribution center, so hopefully I see it soon.

Guess you slipped in under the cut off. I do wish I would have too. Pics when she arrives please.

Finally took delivery of on Friday. Dealer drove it to dealership from rail distribution yard about 50 miles away so I could have it for the weekend. I posted a few pics on the picture page.

You got the color matched wheel fenders! I do too. They look SSSSOOOOO good in white. Sets the truck apart from the 99% that have black fenders.

    • Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

    • Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
