VINs are assigned sequentially and actually built when parts are available and in batches. The line isn't held up because one guy in five ordered a 4x2.
I did notice both (9/21) D1's that are built were both Summits (Jarek0423 and Rubberjeep) and the (9/20) D1 that didn't get built was a Laredo (w2kdiesel). Maybe that has something to do with it. Do they do a run of one particular trim/model at a time I wonder.
Chevy answered this a while back and I believe that the short answer version would be "no".
He did describe somewhat the system that they use. However, I remember thinking that, based on his description, any pattern seen is purely coincidence or imaginary. They use something other than voodoo and dice to determine the order that things will be produced but I am not sure what. I am sure that his reply is somewhere in a back post.
Or they realized that they didn't fill the Urea tanks and they don't have enough for all the ones sitting in the lots, so they're sending all the JNAP folks out to fill them "naturally". :lol:
Does anyone know if the Summit can be badged as trail rated. I just saw a video that said it could if ordered with a certain suspension. But saw no suspension options available. I've also not seen any Summits showing trail rated badges.
I called my dealer today because I am on the fence to cancel as I need a vehicle ASAP. His actual serious response was "the hold up was due to GM because they have 50% in the company that makes the engine." He is now really swaying me to cancel if he is that far out of his mind. It was the VP of the dealership not just a salesman
The front fascia of the Summit has no holes for the tow hooks. All other Trail Rated options can be ordered, but not from the factory (Skid Plates and 18 inch wheels). Hope this helps. I am only adding the skid plates.
Well they're going to time this release just right for a bunch of CRD's to build up on the lots. Other then initial group that wants a diesel, who else is going to pay extra for 30% better fuel economy when diesel is almost 30% higher at the pump right now? Just got gas today and it was $2.99 and looked at diesel and it was $3.79 here in the midwest. Maybe this was their plan so they'd have a glut next summer when gas spikes due to whatever refinery excuse they come up with this year.
Dealers want the cars moved, not on their lots, and if they get a glut of them just as diesel starts to spike, the dealers will most likely be pretty PO'd and/or not make additional orders.
The longer a car sits, the less return on them (for both Jeep and the dealer).
I know this is off topic but I am trying to get my ducks all in row while waiting for my CRD. (Dealer says will ship 10/25). Towing novice here. Does anyone know if the Tekonsha 2 plug connector (3045-P) that is used for the 2011-13 model years will work with the 2014 model? This is the harness that connects a P3 brake controller directly to the Jeep's under dash jack. I have been talking to Tekonsha for 5 weeks now and they can't give me an answer. Thanks in advance for any info.
Any word on shipment? Just drove by new Boston shipping train yard. Swear two Eco deiesel in line on sibly snapped picture on the way to doc appointment. Upload later.
Looking at my build sheet, it looks as if the warranty starts beginning the day it was built. As of now, if they ship soon I will have lost a month of warranty. I'm assuming the warranty start date gets updated to the date buyer takes ownership?
Warranty begins from the in-service date...not from date of manufacture. So, basically, yes...it will start when you take ownership. There are a few exceptions to this, but none that you should run into.
Worry not...my build sheet shows 0 miles on the clock and all my warranty expired due to miles -- the information simply isn't valid yet is all.
I had a dream that my unicorn was delivered, but it looked like a truck from GTA. Maybe I'm playing too much GTA, or maybe I've been waiting so long it's looks are just a distant memory
how do i post pictures there is a line of them on the way to the trains!!!!!!!!! on my way to the doctors I saw 2 for sure and was skeptical that my mind was playing tricks on me and couldn't get a good picture due to the fact that i almost got rearrended!!! but on the way back home there where for sure 100% a line of about 10 outside the shipping yard waiting at the gate and I got a picture
Yes, I took the long way this morning just to drive by the yard! I also risked sitting at a train for 30 min plus going this route.... This is the shipping yard in new boston
