🛠 1/3/22 Build Week Group

But, yes, different pump, and there is a little funnel thingy that comes with the Bronco.

the little funnel is for emergency (run out of gas) situations… or if your married to my wife, it’s called “an every third fill up assistance tool”

to me it sounds as possibly your gas station may have accidentally installed a diesel nozzle on a gasoline pump… they have a bigger outlet. I’ve had the ford fueling system for years and think I ran into this situation once… You’ll be fine… and learn to love it. One bad thing, when I go to fill up my Nissan now, almost every time I forget I have to remove a cap… sigh … the struggle is real

This mornings update bring happiness and a bit of sadness. I checked the rotten CSX tracking line this morning and after say the car initials 3 times it figured that out and only saying the numbers once the update was "Railcar TTGX705525 was delivered to customer location, Cottage Grove, MN". So the happy part if this is that my baby is 24.8 miles away from my dealer and the sad part is that my baby is 1757.7 miles away from me. I let my dealer know that it was there and they needed to get it to the Aftermarket guys ASAP so they could start on the cleanup and adding a few things I requested from them.

So close and yet so far

It went about halfway in and was long like normal and didnt look like the diesel pump.. I really feel like I did something dumb.. It wouldn’t pump though.

My date was moved back to 2/20 also. It seems the date for some people is when their Broncos will arrive at the dealer and for others like myself it's when they (hopefully) will ship. It's odd that multiple people in different parts of the country are assigned the same 2/20 EDD.

Of course, the dates don't mean anything if they keep moving back without anything happening.

A few of us with 12/22 blend dates just got bumped to 2/20 from 2/10 as well. I think they have no idea when they'll ship but they just extend it 10 days to shut us up for a week.

Palsapp now flipped from pending to "dispatched 2/8". Also now shows a trip #.

It's in a lot an hour away. Anybody know if that means it's actually on a truck?

Edit: Called the palsapp people and they say it can be "either ready for pickup or on a truck". They obviously won't give VIN specific info.

Also, if you put the trip number in the palsapp search, it shows everything else on the truck. Mine has 6 total going to the same dealership.

It did not shut me up I sent a frustrated email to my dealer saying I knew it wasn’t his fault but what in the world is going on!

No further train updates but EDD just shifted from 2/19 to 2/18.

1/24 group is seeing built statuses now but their EDD's staying at May so far. Pretty frustrating to see later weeks getting status updates when there's plenty of people in our group still stuck in production. Zero rhyme or reason to the order they complete builds, from an outside perspective.

Based on my experience...the time mine switched to dispatched to showing delivered was pretty on point to match the drive time from MAP to my dealership. My dealership info populated on palsapp, then within 36 hours it went to dispatched...then within 3.5-4 hours it showed delivered.

My theory is that the person who updates the statuses and delivery dates for Ford let their kids borrow their laptop and the kids are just pushing buttons.

Yeah. Mine was way farther out than anyone else's was initially, and it still arrived a week earlier, despite sitting around idle for almost two weeks at the rail yard. I think they just make up numbers and hope for the best.

I love the wheels and tire -- what is the combination please

Black Rhino Barricades. -18 offset, 37x12.5x18

In case anyone with a hard top missed it, Gearshade has a mesh top for the hard top now. Looks like you have to drill into the twist locks for the panels though.

Congratulations.. have another Pina Colada and call it a win.

@Cat, an update: Tracker had me at a 2/07 delivery date, which I believe you added to the s/s for me. Tracker now shows a 2/11 EDD. I'll call the dealer today to see if he has an update. He warned me that trucking out of the railhead in Orlando might be slow, so...
