Hey guys

I ordered my truck last week Thinking it would be a Job2 Will it be?
I thought i read that Nov.2nd and after build dates are job 2

As most of you know i had such bad luck with my last job1 i swore i would never buy another Job1

What will the changes be from Job1 to Job2?
I would like 373 gears on a SWD F250

I asked my dealer and he does not even know when the Job2 dates are
And said that the list for Job 2 changes is not out yet! How can that be?

I also asked when i get a Vin. he said in a few weeks

he thinks under 6 weeks til del.

I can't wait to try a Diesel again

Thanks in advance

 

Well according to those in the know tomorrow starts production of Job 2. Of course these things have a way of changing, but I imagine any delay would be days and not weeks.

I'm pretty sure you aren't going to see 3.73 gears and honestly they aren't necessary. My 6.7 with 3.55s and a taller overdrive ratio than my 6.0 with 3.73s are no comparison. In 6th gear with the converter locked, the 6.7 will lug down to less than 45 mph and respond immediately when you press the pedal. The 6.0 couldn't do any better at 50+ mph and would usually have to unlock the converter to do that much. Overall with the 6 spd now instead of 5 and the improved torque of this new motor, 3.55 is plenty of gear for a SRW. There are days I even think I should have gotten the 3.31s.

 

Here is a link to PowerstrokeHD's excellent post on the future scheduling of Job 2 changes. Hope it helps:

Seems like your dealer is feeding you some bs if he told you the Job 2 dates aren't out, they've been out for quite some time (months).

I ordered mine on 10/12 and it's listed at the top of the DORA that it's a Job 2. Request a copy of this (DORA) from your dealer. It'll give you all the details of your truck, and is what Ford uses to build your truck.

Changes below are the Job 2 changes, straight from the order guide. No 3.73's for the Diesel (and from what I've heard, you won't need 'em):

JOB 2 ORDER GUIDE UPDATES – Effective on all
vehicles built on or after Job#2 (11/01/10 – Subject to
Change)
• LT245/75R A/T BSW (TMB) tires optional on XL F-350 SRW
• Crew Chief™ (87T) no longer restricts SYNC® and is now
optional on Lariat and King Ranch®
• Operator Commanded Regeneration (OCR) optional on XL
and XLT with 6.7L Power Stroke® Diesel: allows driver to
manually engage diesel particulate filter regeneration at idle.
• Vermillion Red Exterior paint on Lariat is now available with
Pale Adobe Interior
• 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Hitch Prep Package (53W) now
available on 63/4' box
• Heated Backlight/Rear-Window Defrost (43B) optional on
Lariat & King Ranch®
• Lariat leather seating is now monotone
• Easy-Entry/Exit Seat Memory Feature optional on Lariat with
96U/96L, standard on King Ranch®
• Splash Guards/Mud Flaps (61S) now available on SRW

 

I can see why they chose the XL and XLT (work trucks) but I don't understand why it can't be an option for the Lariat and KR packages.
Those can be "work trucks" too.

 

It hasn't been confirmed but the thinking is that it may actually be standard on the upper level packages. I guess we will have to wait and see.

 

At this point it will definitely be a Job 2. Job 1 scheduling was balanced out about 3 weeks ago and all orders that were not already designated as Job 2 were converted.

Sorry, no 3.73's on SRW's with the diesel...

 

Negative on that one. XL and XLT (Not available on XLT with 17P Premium Package) only.

 

I like the 373 gears in diesels and i also put on bigger tires and lifts as soon as i get my trucks so the gear will help me.

I do alot of city start and stop driving and i like to have the off the line power

thanks for the input

I will ask for the dora report

 

Is there any reprogramming that will be available to the job1 trucks that will allow any of these features? Any what is the sync restricting on the job 1 trucks? IDK which one mine is...its only 3 weeks old.

 

does anyone know if the lariats with monotone leather are being seen on lots yet?

 

I saw several on my dealers lot second week of Oct. when I was ordering my truck.

 

That's been the standard since mid September. My build date was Sept 24 and my truck has monotone leather.

 

Oh ok thanks for the replies
