Unfortunately, yes. I keep checking with my dealer on whether the eLSD is a required delete and the last that I checked (a week or so ago), it was still requiring it to be deleted. Hopefully, that changes soon, and I can either revise my order or create a new order.
Yes, it's for a '23 MY. I ordered it at the end of June - it basically took a month for them to schedule it for production. Not sure why it took that long but probably because I ordered fairly soon after the '23 MY order books became available.
NWA, thank you for letting me know. I'll reconfirm with my dealer; however, not only did I check with the dealer I ordered mine from but two other dealers that I was dealing with (and have since done so late last week). Did you get a build sheet from your dealer, after you placed your order, and it does not show a $400 credit?
Yes, your dealer should be able to provide you with a POC (Priced Order Confirmation) or a Configuration Review sheet. I have gotten both but had gotten the latter when comparing pricing from the various dealers I was talking with about my order. Both documents, showed the credit on it for the eLSD.
I sent all of the dealers a PDF, from Jeep's webpage, showing my build. In turn, all of the dealers sent me a "Configuration Review". The "Configuration Review" shows both the MSRP and the FWP (i.e. what they claim is the invoice amount). On the breakdown, it shows a credit value associated with the "Elec LTD Slip Differential Delete".
So it's possible my dealer is not being upfront with me. Where did you buy yours from?
Thank you nwa; however, now I'm really confused as Koons told me that it is being deleted when they make an order.
Sounds good - hope you get it. I'm still trying to get it added to mine; however, in the end, if I can't get it, it won't really affect me as I don't live in a very wintery climate. I just want it since I'm buying a SR and it should have everything.
I agree about the credit - it's a joke. Everyone knows that it would cost way more than $400 to install afterwards - if you could even install it afterwards (which I don't believe you can). You would think that they would be willing to put the parts on a vehicle if someone is willing to pony up the money for said vehicle.
Tx - I placed my order on 6/28, too. While my VIN does not show up on the Jeep tracking page, my dealer sent me the "Priced Order Confirmation" (POC) sheet, about a week after my order, and the POC shows a VIN. So if you contact your dealer, I'm going to guess they can do the same and your vehicle most likely has a VIN.
Yes, my POC shows a full VIN number. I actually just got off the phone with my dealer, to again check on the eLSD and she said that it's still showing up in her system as an auto delete (i.e. she cant't change it to be not being deleted). I'm starting to wonder if Jeep is allowing the eLSD to be ordered based on your location allowing the eLSD to be ordered if you live in a certain state. Also, while talking with my dealer, I asked if she had an update on the status of my order and she said that her system is now showing an estimated ship date of 8/17/22. She said that this doesn't necessarily mean it will be shipped then but it at least sounds like the '23 MY are now in production.
No, it's still showing "scheduled" but nothing more; however, based on what Jim-in_PA has mentioned in this thread (or another thread), I don't really anticipate seeing anything more until it has been fabricated and is ready to ship. If the projected ship date is 8/17, I'm hoping that I'll see something on Monday or Tuesday. Is your Avatar the GCLSR that you have ordered? Also, curious what state are you in?
Cool - yours GCLSR looks very similar to the one I ordered. Thanks for sharing your location, I was asking because I am curious if the eLSD availability is based on one's location. I'm in Atlanta, GA area and wouldn't think the Dallas TX area would be much different but who knows? Anyway, congrats on your order - I hope it gets scheduled/in production soon.
Congratulations! Does your GCL have a sunroof? I'm asking because my order is in production; however, in talking with my dealer, they are seeing it in "JB" status which she says sometimes they send the vehicle to a vendor to install the sunroof (which sounds weird to me).
Yeah, I wouldn't think the car would be shipped to a vendor with a hole in its roof just to get a sunroof. I did buy running boards, with my order, so possibly it's gone there for that purpose.
TxCat91 - funny you ask......I just found out, earlier today from the dealer, that my order has shipped. The Jeep tracker page only shows it as having been built. The tracker page used to show my estimated delivery as 10/9/22 but it has now changed to TBD. Not sure if the "TBD" now means I might get it sooner.
Awesome and congrats! How are you liking it and what model did you get?
