We seem like a pretty quiet production week. I'm still waiting for my 'built' email, but I did call Ford and they told me my Bronco is 'produced' which I've known since the modules popped the day after my blend. While it hasn't shipped yet, they gave me an ETA in California of July 8 - 14...

The tracker usually doesn't work on Sundays when they update the system

If you are in the north you have cut through the plating on the outside of the brake line, so even if it holds pressure now, it is going to rust and get weaker. You might be able to cut out that section and flare the tube and put in a proper patch with some fittings.

You have to keep scrolling in B&P. 6-way is for the 2-door; 10-way for the 4-door

Car makers have a target production volume with a narrow +/- band around that. You can't judge demand for a vehicle based on raw sales numbers increasing or decreasing as much as inventory levels and incentive spend. i.e. are there a lot of them sitting on the lot until they lay cash on the...

On the old classic FL-1-A, the "A" stood for Anti-drainback valve.

I'm looking at the same thing, but I only consider the cars where someone has bothered to enter the tear tag number, because then you have a good indication that the person is diligent enough to keep the data updated to that point. When I eyeball it, it looks like on a good week about 2/3 of...

Looking over the spreadsheet, it is kind of all over the place but everything from 3 days to two weeks between blend and shipped is 'normal'. More than two weeks I think counts as purgatory because beyond that some people have waited a very long time.

Do you have any options that get installed after assembly? Roof rack? Tube doors? I’m in the same boat. Blend 6/1/23

My blend date was 6/1. The modules came on 6/2, and the tear tag populated a bit later in the day. Still no "built" email. I ordered dual tops, so I'm hoping the delay is so it can go over to the mod center for the second top. I'm happy to have made it this far, fingers crossed I don't end...

Somebody on here took it to an upholstery shop and they leather wrapped that grey part on the front edge of the dash. Probably could get very close to the raptor look that way

It is an unbreakable promise from the universe to you. Book a cab now to take you to the dealership on 7/3. Do not check the website, your email, call anyone on the phone, or answer your phone between now and then. Have the cab drop you off at the dealership on 7/3 and drive away. Pick up...

Usually the dealership will remove the plastic, wash it, and fill it up with gas before you pick it up

Today is my blend date, but I haven't seen anything change in the tracker. How long is the delay usually?

Yes, the compression ratio is fixed, but these are turbo charged engines with electrically controlled waste gates. When you are burning premium fuel the computer can give the engine more boost (ya know Eco BOOST) and increase the power and efficiency of the engine. When you burn lower octane...

I think what he is trying to say is Webasto went into production with a PM part number which means it hasn’t achieved PPAP - Production Part Approval Process

APQP = Advanced Product Quality Planning

Seems like Heritage "stop build" is new

If the airbags didn’t pop off, this can be fixed way cheaper than replacement

Wide open throttle A/C compressor clutch cut out, when you push the go pedal hard enough the computer diverts all power away from the A/C and to the wheels. Perfectly normal
