The dreaded JB freeze

[aml]

Notice how it uses the word “scheduling”....I think this applies to new orders only or those that have not made it to D1 status. Just the way I read it. Also this chart applies to the price increase from last week...again only applies to orders placed after that announcement.

I agree but if stock is so low they actually had to advertise it, I am figuring it may affect previous builds. But then again, I am not sure when they get added in the process.

I read in another thread where someone was told they were on backorder. I just don’t know if mine has them yet or not.

Well, mine still seems to be in JB after a week. Nothing to do but wait, but it's killing me!

I’m in JB jail starting today.

History
Order 6/2
D1 6/12
Built/Inspection 7/9
JB 7/21

JLUR v6 6sp Loaded (No TRMS) but everything else besides the upgraded wheels

It’s looking like this will be a 10-12 week ordeal from order date which is unreal. If I would have known I would have just waited until next year, early spring. Maybe by then demand would have died down.

JB since 7/13.

I'll live, but I got excited after how quickly it was otherwise completed. I have the LED package as well.

JB: 7/13
Was placed on a train 7/21
Scheduled delivery 8/03

I don't know but 2 weeks on a train seems very long.

Here is where it says issues with the LED lights.

One of the dealers I was at did say the LED group came up restricted when he did my build. He really didn't seem sure what that meant. Told me there could be a hold up bc of it. Well looks like that might be true.

I've been stuck in JB for over 2 weeks. For 2 weeks they kept telling me there're no issues. Today they said that "Right now there is a back log in shipping which is creating delays in earlier stages of the process. This is being corrected by FCA now and you vehicle will move to the next stage as soon as possible.With the delay in shipping it is causing delays in the additional equipment stage as there is no place to send the vehicles forward at this time." This is probably complete BS since some other vehicles don't seem to be effected by this at all. Is anyone else being told this story?

Do you have LED package on yours?

Do you have LED package on yours?

Yes I have the LED package. I ordered every option available with the exception of the smokers package.

Yes. I was told this when I inquired today. My order has been in JB now for a month.
