How bad. I’m in same boat. No 754

You have the wiper issue also? I only found out about that from someone who has a family member working on the inside

There was a post somewhere that said this was the case. Chip hold cold be anything. I habe wiper and 754 modules missing. I would assume that puts me in a real bad spot

What are the wiper modules? I have the 754 modules.

I'm told that's a part that doesn't have a module, so that won't be missing on the asbuilt. I would guess your in much better shape than a lot of us if you habe the 754.

Fingers crossed I suppose

Idk if it’s a wiper issue but ford marketing agent said it failed a Q&A process and I don’t have the 754 modules. Chip hold purgatory since 1/18.

That's all you can do. Im on my 4th ETA, currently June 23rd. I have no faith that date will conclude my production journey, but fingers remain crossed

Just got the “Activate Vehicle” on my FordPass app.

Taking every bit of willpower not to press it.

Looks like they are postponing a lot of upcoming builds. Some all the way to June 20th. Maybe the idea is to focus on orders from the last few months and catch up finally, rather than continuing to add more and more trucks to the chip hold list. Of course, that would be thinking logically, which we've determined Ford doesn't do.

If that’s the case, I feel like it cannot be a coincidence that ‘22 orders are closed and ‘23 banks aren’t opening until mid-July. They *have* to be focusing on the existing backlog, including all the trucks built, parked, and just waiting on some chips.

I think the question is, what are the odds that there will be a backlog of 22's while they are producing 23's? It would make sense to get all the 22's out before they start with the 23's, but that might just be wishful thinking.

I have 5/12 blend and show 754 module bit no update on being built or shipping info.

Bunch of guys on the tremor forums just had their build weeks bumped to July 11th. I have to hope it's to try and catch up. I've never seen them postpone more than one or two weeks at a time until now. Those are big jumps

I’m not smart enough to know what’s better for business, but it’s the right thing for them to do.

Agreed. A couple of guys on the tremor forums 1/10 build week thread are genuinely surprised that they are still putting people on chip hold. Some of them are still waiting.

My blend was yesterday but I have not heard anything. Tracker is not currently working for me.
