Yes my build week was for 9/18 but it went into production sooner than 9/18. Now I have a blend date for 9/19. I hope it gets built considering the strike
Fingers crossed I just been keeping a positive mindset. I check the site every hour lol but I have seen it update same day. My status changed to build on Friday 09/15 so I’m hoping that means they plan to make some progress. I can’t see my window sticker yet so no blend date as of yet. I’ve seen others say they will make progress on the build until it gets to paint and final assembly but I’ve also seen others say that ford will complete the build if it’s in progress it just may take longer, but I’ve yet to find a source that co-signs this.

Great information! I hope ford finished the build if it was already in production. Hoping for the best.

What does "Blend" mean? Sorry for my ignorance.

It means when the chassis and the body are combined

Thanks. Mine was scheduled for today but on Thursday moved to "In production" so I wonder how much got done before things came to a stop.

I don't think it will work this way. Bodies get made in parallel with chassis/drivetrain. Bodies are painted, partially fitted with many components, then mated to the frame assembly (the blend).
The nearly completed frames can't be stored in a lot as they are "attached" to the transport machinery that moves them down the line. The entire line has just stopped. It is similar for the bodies and paint is quite early in the body process after all welding.
SInce it is the Paint and final assembly plant, I would guess they would continue everything else and ours will sit in a lot awating the plant to open back up to paint it.
Are parts arriving since Teamsters are supporting the strike? Does that mean they don’t deliver to any plants or just the targeted plants (paint & finish). And sounds like the strike will now expand to more plants and suppliers are moving to cut their output and workers hours. No good news for us “9/18 so closers”…. :-(

Same I checked and still no sticker last update for me shows as 09/15 when is when my status changed to in production.
Today I watched a video on YouTube from Long McArthur Ford and they said nothing is moving at the MAP. They also said all builds are on pause at this time due to the strike and if there are completed broncos still at the plant they are not moving either as the teamsters will not cross the line. But they did reassure if we had a build date then it is going to get built just going to be more than likely pushed out. Let’s hope by Friday something changes as that’s the next deadline.

I am also stuck on status "in production" and have no window sticker. No modules of course either. My last update date was 09/13/23.
My gut tells me this strike won't be resolved by the next UAW deadline on Friday.

A guy on Facebook showed that his updated to built today but not sure if it’s a glitch. I also feel like it’s not going to be resolved this Friday. I’m hoping talks go in the right direction.

That just does not seem possible @Williamoscar23 especially since final assy at MAP are striking. Can you get any more details or share his post? I'm curious on his whole timeline, modules, VIN, scheduled for production, in production, etc.
