01/24/2022 Build Week

[RalpL]

So it's completely built?! The Ford Vehicle Order Tracker still shows "In Production." What happens next?
On a separate note, the rep at my dealership is worthless. I always have more info than he has. He had no idea what the status of my truck was today. Super annoying.

It may not be completely built, but it's certainly moving along. I forget what BCE stands for - perhaps Body Control & Equipment? It might be the module controling the other modules? Need an auto tech to come up on the wire!

It can be frustrating with sales folks. We generally may know quite a bit more as we are laser-focused on our F-150 trucks and even our particular trim level - kind of like being a specialist vs. a generalist. The inventory and/or order managers are probably more knowledgeable than the sales staff. They have access to the Vehicle Visibility Reports and the Web Based Dealer Order system. However, it's been my experience they don't usually deal at the customer level.

You could go to https://palsapp.com and enter your VIN and see if anything shows in the way of shipping info.

Nothing significant here, yet, but supposedly it will eventually provide you with details of your truck's shipping status. Again, nothing I know any real details about, just something posted on another site regarding tracking new build.

Blend Date TODAY. BCE Modules populated on https://www.motorcraftservice.com/AsBuilt/Details. What does that mean?

So, I did some digging. In case anyone is interested: PCM=Powertrain Control Module; BCM=Body Control Module; BCE=? (Body Control E.....)

I hate to be the bearer of bad news. I’m from the 1/17 build week and we are basically ALL on a production hold for chips. My truck has been “in production” since the 20th. Up until today it, I had an ETA of Feb 3 but have now been delayed until Feb 28th. I just don’t want to see all of you holding your breath in anticipation. It might be. While still. I really hope im wrong though.

Total bummer. Sorry to hear that. I hope ours won't get delayed, but I haven't been holding my breath for the last 4 months.

I knew that many folks in Build Week 1/10 had been notified of being put on chip hold with Delivery ETAs of 2/28. In fact, they added a Chip Hold column to their tracker, which I will also do for ours. I seem to remember reading somewhere there was supposed to be a huge chip delivery either yesterday or today (I'll try to find that). I just quickly reviewed Build Week 1/17 and didn't see where anyone indicated they had actually been told they were on chip hold. Perhaps @tylerneff1 can add a Chip Hold column to the Build Week 1/17 tracker. BTW - he was the one who helped me set up our tracker.

How do we know if the truck is on hold for chip ?

 

[RalpL]

I see the BCE Modules populated on the truck order I cancelled, which had a blend date yesterday. Nothing yet on my truck with today's blend date. I'm going to add a column for BCE Modules to our tracker.

Folks in Build Week 1/10 actually saw it in status screenshots from their dealers. It's too early for us to check that yet.

Good morning!

As indicated above, many folks in Build Week 1/10 had been notified they were on chip hold and their delivery ETAs had been pushed out to 2/28. Some folks in Build Week 1/17 also suspect they may be on chip hold because some had revised delivery ETAs also for 2/28. Consequently, I'm adding a Chip Hold column to our tracker. Hopefully none of us will need it! Guess we'll see. I'm also going to add a column for BCE Modules because that's a positive sign of our trucks actually being built. Let me know if your BCE Modules populate or any other updates. Cheers!

Yeah chip delivery 1/25-1/30. Hopefully we all get ours since apparently some ford rep said they should have enough chips for the first quarter of production. “Let’s go already then” lol. My tracker went offline but I’ll let y’all know what it says when it’s back.

Late to the party. Bought a Lariat the dealer had ordered in late October for stock I guess. Had a bit more than I wanted but I'm an impatient guy and decided to pull the trigger. Looks like I timed it about right.

A review of the window sticker shows this to be Build Week 1/17 with a Blend Date of 1/22.
