04/17/2023 Build Week

[jhudgins]

I had a blend date I’d 4/17, got my modules and tear code on Tuesday and still not showing up as built. Two other rigs on the excel sheet have the same tear code as me and they have delivery dates now. 736/916

You warrant my very first post. Don't worry, I know I am one of those with same tear code on that spread sheet. I did have all my modules two days ago and then got the tear code yesterday. Today (4/19) I am showing built but didn't get a delivery date. I called Ford Marketing at 800-334-4375 and got my delivery date with that window of May 14th - 20th and I was also told that the dealer got an ETA of May 17th at 4:29am. How is that for specifics?

Hm ok if I don’t have anything by mid day tomorrow I may give them a call. I hope that it doesn’t take a month for delivery. I sold my car this past weekend in prep for the bronco because my dealer said 7-10 days for delivery after production lol

I know people have asked before but...


What is a tear tag?
Does it have a purpose?
How do I find it?

The tear tag is a code that has so do with programming your PCM.
Basically the receiving of a tear tag signals that all of your modules have populated and the vehicle has been “built”.

You can find the tear tag by going to
https://www.motorcraftservice.com/AsBuilt and you should have a 4 digit code listed near the top of the page next to where it says “Tear Tag”.

As for the purpose of it from what I have seen it is a code that can be entered by a technician to help with tech / mod related car issues I guess? What I read went waaay over my head.

Yeah, the long delay on delivery was a bit of a disappointment but it is happening and for that I am grateful. Not sure why the long delivery but nobody else seems to have that long of a wait. I too just sold my Tacoma to get this Bronco just a week ago so I get that.

True. After 2 and a half years I’m just great full that I’m going to get it and I didn’t have to end up canceling it like I thought I was

Thanks.

Mine "should" be built tomorrow. 🫣

No list under the BCE modules. All it says is “End of information” and then under that a letter “G”.

Mine did the same thing, they’ll come eventually and you’ll know when they do.

Are you being shipped via convoy or rail?

It says Rail

Appears as though they are batch processing.

Early AM:

About an hour later:

Unlock code achieved. Happy 4/20

Yeah, I've been a little crazy with the refresh button on both trackers hoping one lights up "shipped" so I can start believing the delivery estimate of 4/18 to 4/24....!

so I can start believing the delivery estimate of 4/18 to 4/24

The estimate I have also seems a bit optimistic ... at one to two weeks ... rail.

I got both emails this morning as well!

 

[GearHd6]

Same here, both built and shipped emails around an hour apart. 5/13 to 5/26 for me though.

Are you both gong by rail as well? If so, it seems like rail is loading quickly. Some of us by convoy seem to have early delivery estimates (4/18 to 4/24) but not actually showing as shipped yet. I'm hoping the dates stay true!

Rail for me, but I don't expect a speedy delivery seeing it's heading to CT.
